Cheney: "It's really important that people recognize the efforts he's putting in to tear down every institution of our democracy."
Seriously? YOU fucking thought torturing AMERICANS was a good thing! You are as much a danger to Democracy as a Trump.
This is nothing more as an attempt to whitewash her past.
• she doesn’t favor allowing same-sex couples to wed and that she supports “the traditional definition of marriage.”
• She said Obama is “lying” about what the CIA did regarding torture
She doesn’t see all people as equal or human.
She barely recognizes US laws.
Jan 6th was her attempt at whitewash. A pretense that she is somehow normal. That she believes in American values.
She believes in racism, the elimination of rights and wholesale subversion when it suits her.
Don’t believe her words today: believe her actions.
You are right about Liz, to an extent. I disagree with her policy judgment almost always.
However, I do not doubt her courage one whit. I respect it. She was unstinting in pursuing the facts wherever they led her on the J6 committee.
She is better than Trump. Period. She has not tried to overthrow our government.
No matter the past, we had best link arms to defeat MAGA next year. If Liz is against MAGA, I extend my hand to her.
We are in for a hell of a fight. We can argue history with opponents after that fight is won.
With respect,
LSW
@LSWellesley @feloneouscat the problem I have with Liz is that her kind of evil is insidious.
What courage? She jeopardized nothing. She is worth tens of millions. Her seat? Pffft.
Doing the right thing is the BARE MINIMUM, yet she is lauded over and over for it.
No. She literally is no better than Trump.
Yeah, I admire her courage at this point, but important to get a reality check here.
GOP-er pols like her going back to the Ratfuck-engineered campaigns of Nixon, Reagan (and the death of FAIR), Gingrich, the Fed Society
and Bush the 2nd (the whole repulsive RW media/ pol shitshow) are the reason FckNutz was ever able to rise to prominence.
He’s their spawn, they own him. What did they think would happen from the poison and racism they unleashed on the country…
She displayed no courage.
She quite literally had NOTHING but a seat in Congress on the line.
Meanwhile she has argued that torture, which is FUCKING ILLEGAL is okay if you call it something else. Even John McCain was appalled!
She doesn’t believe in the Equality Clause. She doesn’t believe in American law. She is merely using this to whitewash her legacy.
Doing what is right is the bare minimum. Democrats do it all the time. Yet she gets lauded.
Irony.
Cheney’s net worth is in the tens of millions.
She risked nothing.
She will live better than the majority of Americans, many who risk heath and family on a daily basis.
She is as we say, all hat and no cattle.
Risk entails loss. What did she lose?
I'm with you here, believe me, but she did lose her seat. But maybe the math she's doing was meant for that and for her to come swinging back as this great centrist savior. I could see that.
And we need to never forget what she comes from (a fucked up proto-fascist party) and who she is (spawn of Darth Satan, AKA Dick Cheney)
I believe she did pull away from her homophobic anti-marriage stance and reconcile with her ister who is married to a woman?
She is whitewashing her legacy. Seen this. Until she renounces ALL her evil, I’m going to assume it whitewashing.
Doing the right thing is the bare minimum.
She did. Again, it’s hard to know whether that was for family or for everyone.
As one article stated before her conversion, “Thanksgiving is gonna be mighty tense!”

@feloneouscat She also protected Jordan and the other 8 insurrectionists by insisting that Jan 6th hearings be laser focused only on Trump. This protected the MAGA House republicans from inclusion. She knew Jordan was right in it by her quote at the time "don't touch me , you did this!" when he tried to help her up so she could run for cover. Even within as many call it in her country over party she still put party over country.
• Cheney, who now proclaims to love our country, has done everything to justify the crimes of her father. Family first, country second.
• “I strongly oppose the mandated teaching of critical race theory or using taxpayer dollars to advance that curriculum,”
• “What we’ve done in our politics is create a situation where we’re electing idiots.” — see her previous statements
Bottom line: Liz Cheney is no better than Trump. She is willing to compromise America for her views of what’s right.
