The Cheneys are a big name in GOP politics. Anyone she can reach is a good thing.

She is also very brave, it is certain she is getting death threats too.

I am not nor have I ever been a Cheney fan. Trump is suffering a thousand cuts from her repeated jabs, in my opinion.

I read somewhere Dark Brandon raised twice the amount Trump did recently. Some Republican mega donors have closed their wallets.

These folks aren’t stupid. They know he doesn’t have a chance in hell to reclaim the White House.

5. He has been doing it for a while, why is he not in jail, why is the judicial system not working?

Those are, to me, the gravest questions that need answered. Why is the SOB getting away with so much, what is happening behind the scenes that we don't know about?

If it is fear that his goons will get violent? Well...why do we spend so much money on the military if we cannot use them to stop domestic violence? It should take a day to send 10,000 marines to get all those thugs in jail. WHAT IS GOING ON?

All these judges do is threaten the buffoon, but nothing happens. What are they waiting for, for someone to get killed?

I am starting to limit the news in my life, this is too frustrating, the buffoon keeps challenging the legal system and winning, because the fact that he is an indicted man, that there are now 88 accusations against him (from 91), that he has been found guilty twice, one for sexual abuse and one for fraud, and he is still running for president? I call that winning when he is getting away with so many crimes. WHAT IS GOING ON? WHAT THE F^*& IS GOING ON?

The USA has become a country of cowards, the legal system, and the media have become the biggest cowards and will contribute to destroy the country.

allow him to be put in jail even if he were to kill someone directly and they had undeniable evidence of it.

...a ton of new donations and screams of unfair prosecution. Hey, face it, even 24-48 hours in the pen before he's out on bail may do his campaign some good.

after J6 Liz Cheney and Adam Kensinger were about the only Republicans with the
guts to stand up to him. I have been re-reading the book "A Warning" by Anonymous. He says
there were talks of a mass resignation early on Trump's administration but nobody had the courage to
do it. Here we are years later and the justice system can't find the courage to deal with him either.

he's inciting violence and intimidation against a civilian for political purposes. Literally political, since the daughter is a Dem. Idiot thinks his case can't be tried by a judge who's daughter works on Dem political campaigns.

with January 6th plotting, doesn't have to recuse himself and neither does Aileen Cannon who has revealed her pro,Trump bias multiple times already.

Yet some still expect us to believe that in the end we can trust the courts to hold him accountable. I reserve the right to be skeptical until he's broke and behind bars, and I'm not holding my breath for that to happen.

to dwell among humans. He should be in a cage at some zoo, flinging his poo at everything that moves, and greedily hoarding food to keep some imaginary creature from having any.

Not one person will miss him when he dies, and that event can't happen soon enough. 😡

He's among the most vile, evil creatures that have ever lived.
