Incredible that Liz Cheney is the heroic one

When Dubya was prez, we refered to Dick Cheney as “Darth” Cheney. Now he is standing with his daughter, condemning the present GOP. It goes to ahow you how far the Republicans have alid down the protofacist rabbit hole.

Republicans insist that their party has no members whatsoever on that Committee.

And that Liz Cheney is misrepresenting herself.

Nothing more. Take their help now, but we can't lose sight of the fact that it's merely a coincidence that they are on our side on this.

Uncle Dick was once the crazy far right that we fought against. He merely lied and fabricated evidence to get us into a 20 year war. I guess that's chicken feed compared to an attempted coup.

But you are right. The Chaney's are playing a long game here. They would prefer to break down the party and rebuild it in their own image.

In some ways Liz is taking a chance. But I don't think she wants to be in the House if Republicans happen to retake it. She knows it will be an empty shit show. About the only thing they will be able to do is impeach Biden. Which they will do multiple times.

For him to come forward.. come on. This is the issue at hand.. we've got the future not the past here. The past can be debated as it has been n we will not forget.. it’s now..Now. What say you that he and his daughter are making a stand like non of the others in their party? This symbolism cannot be ignored. We’ll fight the past another day. This is now. Come on.
