About the wonderful Liz Cheney -

This is from her Wikipedia entry -


H. L. (Bud) Goodall Jr. has called Cheney a "conspiracy propagandist". She has defended proponents of Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories. In 2009, she gave the keynote address at a dinner hosted by the Center for Security Policy, a conspiracy-oriented SPLC-designated hate group led by Frank Gaffney.

1. Liz Cheney is and always has been awful.

The only thing that distinguishes her right now is that she's slightly - but only slightly - less awful than Marjorie Traitor Greene.

3. I think she also fell out with her sister, who is gay.

I don’t know if they reconciled or not, but she was against gay marriage at one point.

6. Oh, God, I remember the GOP feign-offense technique in 2004

When Bush/Cheney were pushing DOMA and other discriminatory measures, and Dems pointed out DICK Cheney's cruelty and hypocrisy in having an out Lesbian daughter while supporting those laws.

"How dare Dems bring the VPs children into this! Children are off-limits!"

Tell it to Hunter Biden.

Just the pearl-clutching of the Bush campaign. God, I thought it couldn't get worse than that year.

5. All the Cheneys are detestable. But the intra-RW infighting is delicious.

And, I kinda have to give the nod to Liz. She's at least old school RWer & wary of the total public reveal of her worst instincts. MTG and the rest, have no such compunction.

no freaking way.

she is no angel and I hope she rots with her dad when all is said and done.

She is a partisan hack
She is like Matt Gaetz
She is a republican
These all go together
it's mostly a show to distract
