I’m with you. I can’t believe that Liz Cheney of all people is becoming one of my heroes, sometimes I think it’s against my better judgment to be leaning that way, but she’s doing the right thing, even if I disagree (strongly) with a lot of her politics. GO LIZ. GO ADAM.

Doing the right thing at great personal risk. Everyone on that committee deserves a lot of support.

You have lots of company on this Roland. And let’s not forget that Cheney along with other Republican “defectors” and their families are receiving death threats. It’s simply horrifying.

Thank you so much for that reminder, Diane. The employees of Dominion voting systems. Election officials. That federal attorney in Georgia who was forced out. Every Republican politician who ever crossed Pumpkinhead. Death threats, their families harassed, vandalism and personal attacks on themselves and their family members and their homes. These people are paying the price for their principles by becoming public targets for the wacko fringe.

We disagree with responsible Republicans on many issues, but we agree on the most basic principles, concepts such as democracy and fairness. The people currently presenting themselves as leaders of the Republican party do not participate in that agreement, instead viewing democracy and fairness as obstacles to their exercise of power.

It’s merely a life or death football game for which they are constantly writing their own rules….

I was living in IL when Adam K first got elected. I despised his politics then but I think he is doing the right thing to call out the insanity now.

Waiting for her to split with Mitch on something. Of course, she won’t. Daddy would have a conniption fit.

Wait. ... but isn't she still voting against voting-rights?

Right, she won’t be any help with our agenda, only preventing an overthrow of the government. I’ll take her help gladly. Politics can come later.

Republicans can’t support voting rights because they would have to run on platforms that the majority of the people want and they don’t.
