A stinging indictment....

of Donald Trump, by ranking minority member of the January 6th committee, Rep. Liz Cheney....



Of course "they" will call her "a Republican in name only"...

but the truth is, she is one of the very few true 'Republicans' left in that party.


Of course we disagree on almost every other issue... but she has been true to her oath.



It was a good move to have her deliver these details, rather than from a Democrat... there is no partisanship here, and all claims of such have the floor cut out from under them, when they are delivered by a Republican bearing her heritage in that party...

I think all Democrats in her Wyoming district must consider changing registration to support her in her party's upcoming primary, since no one but Republicans get elected in Wyoming anyway-- and she is better than any GQP alternative....

On the other hand, if she is rejected by her own party for re-election... that would be one less impediment for her to launch an independent presidential campaign against Donald Trump in 2024.


She stated publicly to the effect that she 'would do anything to prevent Donald Trump from being elected president again'...

who supports democracy, would do much to prevent a renewed fascist takeover of the White House....


If she does it, I would send her some money... and consider it well spent.

The other minority member is also a possibility, but his name does not have the same weight of party heritage as Cheney...



True Republicans who can't allow themselves to vote for a Democrat, but can't abide Trump, deserve to have a possible "vote of conscience" in the 2024 general election....
