This recap of Cheney's removal was copied from Fox News:
"American Conservative Union chair Matt Schlapp said Wednesday that Liz Cheney was ousted from her committee because she was distracting people from the Republican Party's message for 2022.
MATT SCHLAPP: I’ve been talking to a lot of members one on one and I think the overwhelming belief of these members, including a lot of women members—Republican women members of Congress—is they felt like Liz Cheney was distracted by Trump derangement syndrome.
She was so transfixed on taking every reporter to question about her belief that Trump incited a riot or her belief that Trump should have been impeached or whatever fantasy of the day that was focused on the never-Trump crowd that it was getting them off-topic.
When you’re Chairman of the House Republican Conference your number one job is the message. All the Republicans that want to pick up the majorities in the House and Senate know that we have a singular message. Push back on the socialism and the radical policies coming out of the Biden White House with Nancy Pelosi’s leadership in the house. Focus on these policies. We have gas lines in northern Virginia and across the country. Focus on the Republican policies that would fix these problems in society. Stop talking about how you—what your feelings are about the Donald Trump presidency."
- - - Liz Cheney was distracted by "trump derangement syndrome" (!!?!) which according to Fox, it appears, is the "fantasy" that trump incited the riot or should have been impeached. It's really time to begin teaching critical thinking in schools. Without that, and courses on civics, history and the Constitution, this country will just continue to spiral downwards.
This is the official GOP talking point on why Cheney was ousted. As if any citizen with half a brain doesn't know the real reason. Other Republicans repeated it in interviews today. They keep showing the country what kind of people they are. The lesson we keep learning and re-learning and not quite grasping is simple: they will say and do anything to retain and increase power. They are a true and present danger.
Their brazen attempt to rewrite history is delusional. Stalin and the Communist Party can be rehabilitated if you are Putin and hold unlimited power. To oppose a Big Lie in those circumstances is undertaken at enormous peril.
Closer to home, it was - barely - possible to convince citizens of the case to make war on Iraq in 2003. America is a free country, but at that moment in history it was reeling from the havoc wrought by hatred emanating from the Middle East. A Republican dominated Congress was only too willing to lend loud moral support to the President and his arrogant acolytes. There were rumblings from the citizenry to be sure, but the media beat the drums of war fiercely and a sizable majority of Americans absorbed the war in their stride, unable to distinguish one Middle East country from another. Today’s “Na Na hey hey...” was yesterday’s “Freedom Fries”.
But these are different times. The Republicans hold no power federally. Their grasp on the levers of the media is tenuous at best. Even the monkeys behind those organ grinders have to tread with some care. The Dominion voting machine case was instructive in showing their limits.
In this situation their attempt to sweep the insurrection under the rug is cringeworthy. The Republicans in Washington are effectively now the purveyors of *two* big lies and the best they can do is obfuscate. They are richly earning the contempt of millions. And as cases come to trial and, God willing, the President is indicted, tried and removed from public view, their illusion of having 74 million supporters still will be brutally exposed.
Yesterday’s events are laughable. These lies are born of desperation, not arrogance. Some of the most brazen purveyors of the dual lies may be doing so because they face criminal exposure.
It is tedious to have to call them out on a regular basis. But it is vitally necessary. There must be constant pressure on the Department of Justice, the legal system in general and the Democratic Party itself to bring maximum sunlight and thus accountability to these scoundrels. A failure of nerve here will not be countermanded by a hundred Infrastructure bills.
Republican message? Say whatever it takes, no matter how corrupt, to win back the majority. This includes gaslighting, obstruction and framing any effort to help people who desperately need it as socialism, communism, PC, “woke,” etc. Republican policy? There is none, except to pass tax cuts for the rich and find new wars to wage, using those same desperate people as cannon fodder, lured into signing on with promises of security and appeals to patriotism. Not unlike human traffickers.
There are certain Trumpets that are so despicable that even hearing their name makes me ill. Schlapp is one of them along with Jason Miller. Many of the mainstream media will no longer interview them anymore.

And utterly disgusting.

Citizens of the opposition are quite able to view the talking points they want and to hear them in stereo.

No critical thinking going on. Blame immigrants, BIPOC, democrats, socialism, etc. for your ‘ills’ while we, the 1%, steal from your pocket.
Don’t forget the need to line your own pockets. And the need to kiss 💋 oligarchical Hiney.
"Thinking? What thinking? We don' need no stinkin' thinkin'!"
Alfonso Bedoya. Great actor. Great scene. Great movie. And after all that, the gold just blows away.
Schlapp needs a good bitch slap.
Thanks. I will think of him as Bitch Schlapp from now on.
Great plan. Let’s spread the news. Hahahaha
Metaphorically only, please. Violence is not the answer.
This thinking helps rationalize their seditious behavior.
