I grew up thinking the name Cheney was that of the devil, but I am now in deep deep respect and admiration for those Republicans who do stand up to the craziness. Yay Liz Cheney!

Putin wants to invade Ukraine and steal its valuable resources. Trump promised to end that war without saying how he would do it. Now we know how. He and Vance told Zelensky that they would "save" his country from Putin by having the United States invade Ukraine and steal its valuable recourses instead. Trump is making the US the scorn of the civilized world.

Unless I have missed it, no neocon has spoken against Trump. There will be a place in history for them in the chapter titled, "Enablers."

IтАЩm not exactly sure who qualifies as a neocon, but John Bolton has spoken out.

True. But it has been a long, long road for Mr. Bolton. Anyone remember Bolton's role In the "Brooks Brothers" DC intervention in the Florida National Election Gore-Bush count?

I recall Bolton was the poster Boy with beedy eyes & mustache looking up against light at a election ballot to inspect the infamous "hanging chad".

Or should I refer to the episode as the Bush-Gore-Stop-Counting Election? Reminder to Attorneys, SCOTUS ruled we cannot cite their Bush-Gore Opinion for anything much less "Black Letter" law.

Her father was anathema to me and the wing nut across the street looks and sounds like him. However, I am glad that Liz is speaking out as did Pence recently.

its a famous stratagem, played through history, often more like a multi-centred venn diagram.

Remember that in the next election. Not all conservatives have horns and tails (and not all liberals have common sense.)

I'm still trying to figure out why most Republicans are going along with Trump's agenda. Are they really afraid (what liberals want to think) or are they truly fed up and find Trump a useful tool (what liberals can't fathom)?

That broad brush which liberals use to paint conservatives is part of the reason we just lost the election. I'm talking about voters that supported Republican candidates in the last several elections. Greed is not close to one of the adjectives of use.

Je: Have you bothered actually talking to any of them? Look at what the Dems agenda has done to America in the last 4 years:

UKRAINE: got us into a never-ending war because Biden gave Zelenski enough to keep fighting but not enough to win.

BORDER: deliberately let millions upon millions of people , most of whom cannot speak English and will need OUR social assistance dollars for the foreseeable future. loose in our country.

CRIME: allowed AGs across the country to NOT criminalize theft or violence and have also let many violent illegals loose; refuse to prosecute theft under $100 dollars, leading to invasions of shoplifters and locked-up merchandise.

RIOTS: Refused to lock up/prosecute BLM rioters who actually killed cops in summer 2020, while calling a few trespassers on Jan 6 "insurrectionists" when not one of them had a gun, and the 5 people who died that day were all non-violent Trump supporters.

LAWBREAKING: Siccing the DOJ and crooked lawyers/judges on any opposition politician who threatened to unseat Biden, ie Trump and RFKJr.

ELECTION: removed elected President without Dem voter input, then inserted Kamala Harris as candidate without Dem voter input, while blaming Trump for "threatening democracy".
