Liz Cheney

[Boydog]

While I don't agree with her on anything
except a disdain for Donald Trump I do appreciate her. She is totally risking her leadership position and her entire future in politics to speak out against the corruption of the Trump administration. It would be easy to go with other cowards like Lindsey Graham and Kevin McCarthy but she has proven herself to have some principle. Policy wise I disagree with her on everything but I do appreciate her desire to stand up for competence and decency regardless of the price.

1. I agree, and stands in contrast to Tim Scott

2. Baloney-She's not standing up for decency

She voted with Trump 92% of the time

She breaks with him because she knows he's toxic to anyone with half a brain. She just wants to save the Repigs so they can keep their racism and general hatred of anyone not white or rich under wraps like they tried to in the past.

7. This is my opinion as well.

Political expediency. Political opportunist.

3. I feel pretty much the same.

4. 100% Of Republicans Are Not Bad 100% Of The Time

Perspective.

I commend her courage.

Imagine the death threats she must be getting.

5. At some point the Bush/Cheney wing of the Republican party will make a resurgence and

Liz Cheney will be well positioned to make a run for higher office. She's playing the long game.

6. Exactly, she is not taking a gamble at all. Plus she has Daddy and his cronies for protection.

9. She is being attacked publicly and even more privately.

She is putting her career on the line for this and I don't see how you could fail to see this. There is no way her father could save
her now and I'm sure she would not want that.

8. I agree. But I also hope our Democracy makes it that far!

I've been so wrung-out by these trumpsters that I've almost given up hope.

Almost.

10. She's still just baby Cheney, child of a war criminal.

[Boydog]

11. So we can't admire someone for their courage

because of shit their father did. In my original post I said that I agreed with her basically on nothing but for her to risk her career to speak and vote her convictions and repudiate a man who was a disgrace to the presidency deserves some praise.

14. I didn't say that. But she's still a Republican, too. I got no use for any of them.

12. Agreed!

Said to my husband just this morning: Never thought I'd have a positive thought about Liz Cheney. However, she recognizes the danger to the country, the deflecting posture of her Republican colleagues when it comes to the January 6th Commission and the need for a full, focused investigation. And she's willing to express her views in public, damn the political consequences.

Appreciated the fist-bump she gave Biden last night, too.

Never thought I'd see the day!

13. I feel the same way.
