I come not to praise Liz Cheney, but to bury her [View all]

Last edited Thu Aug 18, 2022, 10:31 AM - Edit history (1)

Count me among those that are all out of fucks to give about Liz Cheney.

Apparently, I am supposed to feel some remorse for her primary loss, or worse, count her among American heroes like John Paul Jones, David Farragut, Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy.

Liz Cheney was simply slayed by the monster she created. Her deathbed conversion is about as worthless as teats on a bullfrog.

She lost 1 insignificant House seat out of 435, in a fucked up State that Hitler would carry by 47 points if he ran with an "R" next to this name.

In the run-up to 2016, Liz must have appeared on the thankfully now dead Rush Limbaugh program about 1,000 times.

Her fucked up party has so poisoned politics in this country that they have just about killed it.

I proudly served 30 years in the United States Navy. I can't even tune my car radio to an AM station to get a fucking traffic or weather report, without first having to hear some bloviating "bag of dicks" call me a "communist, anti-American French Surrender Monkey" simply because I have a different political philosophy.

We're supposed to pretend that Liz Cheney is a "good Retrumplican", or even a "good person" because she draws the line at a fucking coup?

Sure, she wants to fuck over my mom and kill her Social Security and Medicare, and require 12 year olds to carry their dad's baby to term, but she draws a firm line at murder?

I am sorry that I can't muster a care for Liz, but I am a little busy worrying if my LGBTQ daughter is going to have to live in fear for the rest of her life. I am a little busy worrying if she will be fired, denied housing, lose her rights and be criminalized simply because she is gay. Sorry Liz, but I am also a little busy worrying if one of my nieces may be forced to carry a rapists baby, or die on an operating table because her fetus has a medical condition not covered by whatever the Dipshits in Dumbfuckistan Murika decide is "life threatening"

No! I will shed not a tear for Liz Cheney, but I will simply say, in the immortal words of her daddy; GO FUCK YOURSELF
