I’m looking forward to this. You know they’ve both prepared very carefully for this.

She has ovaries. Ovaries are the cis female equivalent of balls.

I loved the interview, and I can't wait to read the book. It's out at midnight (11 pm my time), so Amazon should be downloading my copy to my Yaletown in about 25 minutes.

GOP in peril

EDITOR: The ineffective, dangerous alliance of Donald Trump and his MAGA political supporters has brought the Republican Party to the brink of extinction. Recent losses in national and local elections tell the story.

If the two-party system is to survive in the U.S., the country must have a functioning Republican Party with a political platform to present to the voters; one that is responsive to election outcomes and the needs of all Americans.

Trump and his MAGA followers have rung the death knell for the GOP. The combination of legal actions and Trump’s obvious deterioration are driving large financial donors away from the party. And, as evidenced by an abundance of video showing voter response to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, overturning abortion rights, Trump is on the wrong side of the issue.

100%!

I thinks it's very important that Rachel laid the foundation regarding their completely different ideologies. And, at the same time, explain that in spite of that fact we ARE on the same team when it comes to saving the republic.

So far I'm very impressed with how the interview is going. They are having an incredibly important and forthright conversation.

To interview Liz tomorrow, Rachel, IMO, made it too much about herself.

We won’t have to worry about Democrats v Republicans if Trump wins.

Maybe I’m still mad at Rachel for lobbying to keep Keith Olbermann from coming back to msnbc.

Her DNA is republican but she loves our country and is principled and just maybe she can help get the gop back to basics and get rid of the cult and organize the never trumpers on her side of the aisle and we can have a two party system that works for everyone.

Liz Cheney was one of the worst Congressional Republicans, she lost her seat to a Magat, to someone more radical.

The Republican party is dead, the Speaker of the House was involved in the insurrection. How many Republicans are left in Congress?
Mitt Romney? Retiring. The Magat party has taken over, to belong to the Magat party a person needs to pledge loyalty to Trump.

Rachel was truthful in her opening condemnation of Liz, but what purpose did it serve? Liz Cheney has been one of the most outspoken critics of the Magat party and of Donald Trump.

Times have changed folks, the Magat party isn't going to abide by the truth or abide by the rule of law, Liz Cheney doesn't belong to that party.

Like why do all the "little people" praise trump? She mentioned that "they" feel their voices are not heard in Washington and TFG will speak for them...even for all his faults he is "their guy"
The other is why the repukes in congress bow down to tfg? It's all about the money....as usual.
She mentioned that McCarthys only claim to fame was soliciting funds. Politicians need lots and lots of money to get re elected. After Jan 6 and McC comments his money dried up.. He needed cash and
tfg had lists and lists of small donors that would do his bidding. BINGO.. "They" are afraid if they distance themselves from TFG they would loose funding and loose elections..
As usual.. follow the money..uff
Great interview. And when the fecal material hit the rotating oscillator I'm glad this woman put the Constitution and the Republic over politics.

I think that is nonsense, always has been. It’s a cop out for her to dredge that “old saw” up at this stage. We have heard all their kookoo crap ad nauseum. As far as I can tell, what they wanted was free rein to practice their racism and xenophobia.

the political spectrum who see the urgency in putting the differences on the back burner to gather in unison to save American democracy. As Liz Cheney said, we Dems, non MAGAt republicans, and independents need to put differences aside and vote in unison to keep tfg out of the White House to save our democracy.

Those who consider themselves to be moderate GOP need to wake the hell up. When TFG says, he's coming for his enemies, he is talking about YOU.
