I'm glad Liz Cheney is standing up to the crazies. But she's NOT our friend and bears close watching

She has effectively launched her 2022 fight for Speaker and, possibly, a 2024 run for the presidency.

We need to watch our backs where she's concerned.

About how bad we Democrats are.

It’s exhausting how Rs destroy the government and then say, ‘see, it doesn’t work’. Then a dem gets in - fixes it - just to have the next R destroy it again

She'll be lucky to get reelected in the first place.

Besides somebody is going to be the republican nominee and if we lose the house somebody is going to be the republican Speaker.

I'd rather have Cheney who wasn't afraid to impeach Trump or call out MTG in either of those roles than Kevin McCarthy or Ted Cruz.

And am grateful for any ally in doing so.

I'm happy to despise her again when she returns to being despicable and hypocritical and/or opposes a democratic candidate for president.

She just voted with the crazies too allow Rep. Green to keep her committee appointments.

Only 11 republicans voted to strip her of her committee appointments.

of integrity but integrity is its own thing, doesn't need boostering from anybody body else. The Repukes hectoring her are choosing the foolish nutcase DRUMPF over her integrity. It's not our problem to get into. If they had kicked her out it would expose how corrupt they are, even more than they do every minute.
