Good morning, Rowshan. I imagine Liz Cheney might feel vindication if the voters in her state support her in the upcoming primary in August. As she has stated in her blunt fashion to her voters… one can be loyal to the Constitution or loyal to Donald Trump but not both.

Salud! 🗽

Salud and good morning to you, Christine! I agree that her real vindication will be receiving enough votes for reelection, but the applause is a good start. 😉

One can hope the applause was for We the People, ALL OF US this time.

Unita!🗽

What bothers me about all this is at 7 yrs since like a Vulture, Cheeto still see’s himself as ‘Relevant ‘. That is the most important thing to him .

He sees himself as relevant because there are ignorant fool still out there that make him so.

Sort of like Mike Pence running. Really? The guys that wanted to hang you will vote for you?

More likely hoping that her stand on the traitor and her policies in other areas will attract independents and some Democrats who have a hard time with the progressive wing that gets all the publicity.

If we don't get s progressive in there, we are truly doomed.

Good call. Although I applaud Rep Cheney in her role as VP of the Jan 6th Select Committee; that's about it. Between her evil and disgusting father and she, there's a lot of awful policies to be had.

I absolutely care about her policies and would never feel I have anything in common with her but I would rather her conservative non- crazy person stuff compared to the MAGA crazies.

My hope is that she splits the party.

Democrats won't vote for an anti-choice, anti-environment and super social conservative candidate. She's doing the right thing now but will revert to the real Liz the moment it's over. Either she switches parties or goes her own way.

I am thankful for her now.

I understand why you might feel that way but you can't support her and a woman's right to choose or expect an environment our grandkids can live in and if they will be treated equally if they are LGBT+.

Same goes for all the Republicans who are doing the right thing now but not when it really mattered like during the 2nd impeachment. Where were you then Cassidy Hutchinson?

We're all impressed with her on this committee but she will be just as effective in pushing conservative positions, policies, values etc once all this is over.

We have to stop genuflecting before our adversaries. Being pro-democracy is the lowest possible bar and that's the only one she's passing right now as far as I can see. Don't be bamboozled!

Until she switches parties there's no chance I'd ever vote for her over a Democrat for any office unless the Democrat was corrupt.

Being pro-democracy is important right now.......and for how long?? i will fight with her later about policy.

She believes the Constitution was Divinely inspired.

She believes that the US has the right and sacred duty to lead the Christian "Great Commission."

Literally.

Ditto those other brave Republicans now testifying. And the most powerful forces in the 20th Century created that myth and wedded it to cutthroat capitalist. And called it feeedom.

Not hard for the nation that put the terrible swift sword into the hand of the Prince of Peace. Forged from melting down a plowshare and made him into a violent superhero. His actual teachings, concerning dealing with one's fellow man would destroy their myth of righteous violence. The Good Samaritan? The "other" being the good guy? Forget it.

More of this is in process for an upcoming post, FYI

Undoubtedly

and would you support her? Just asking.

Expand full comment

Never for President. She's against everything I stand for, except for the continuation of democracy.

At a bare minimum she would have to be pro-choice and pro-environment and she is neither of those. So no, never, not gonna happen.

Expand full comment

Never.

Expand full comment

Definitely!

Wyoming! Wake up!

Hope every Democrat & Independent in Wyoming votes for her.
