Tomorrow is a "come to Jesus" moment for the House Republicans.

They will vote on whether or not to remove Liz Cheney from her leadership post for speaking her mind and telling the truth.

A few minutes ago, Rep. Cheney gave a very patriotic speech on the House floor. When she was walking to the podium, all of the Republicans left the House chamber, except for one. It was a disrespectful act against a member of their own Party. Evidently, it shows that they are already set in their votes for tomorrow?

This is a monumental blunder by Kevin McCarthy and the House Republicans. But they are so close to regaining power that they can taste it. They believe they will retain the majority in the House and Senate in 2022. They are expecting voting law changes in over 40 states to help them with their cause.

The truth be damned.

They have made a martyr out of Liz Cheney.

They are unpatriotic. They are a disgrace. They have shown us that they are fascists and we need to believe them.

Although I would be very surprised if he voted differently from the rest of the cult.

The Democratic Party will not survive without a strong opposition Party. It affects us all. We are not exempt.

we need a two party system otherwise we're heading toward "banana republic" with only one party. My preference would actually be at least three but realistically three will never happen.
