Liz Cheney, a key voice in House Republican leadership, increasingly breaks with Trump

Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the third ranking Republican in the House, is publicly taking on President Donald Trump — and unlike with most of his other critics, the President seems wary to hit back.

Cheney, who is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has broken with Trump on policy before, but she has become increasingly outspoken in recent months.

This week, she demanded to know why Trump was unaware of intelligence pointing to Russian bounties on American and coalition troops in Afghanistan.

And last week, she indirectly took a swipe at Trump by tweeting a picture of her father wearing a face mask, with the hashtag “#realmenwearmasks.”

This country was founded largely on the concept of repudiating political leadership by heredity, yet more and more seem to want to return to it. A pox on all of them from both parties!

Cheney is not “hitting” the president. She is expressing policy differences. There is no need for President Trump to “hit back”. He simply pursues different policies. He’ll win these policy differences simply because his policies are better liked by most voters.

The Woke make me puke.

Woke GOPe Deep Staters make me puke harder.

Liz Cheney, so eager to join the Woke Necktie Party and hang the President and empower our enemies, foreign and domestic.

My disgust for the Bush regime and its holdovers and woke soldiers grows and grows and grows some more.

With her many years at State and then in the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, she’s in deep.

She’s well-greased in the military-industrial complex and Trump threatens it, and now Flynn is active again...

Liz Cheney is No 3 leader in the House GOP. You saying that’s not a “key leader”?

Well it’s still 7 positions better than being the #10 leader in the House GOP.////

Once You See The Strings on the GOP Marionettes…

Posted on  by 

….it is impossible to return to a time when you did not see them.

Almost five years ago CTH first outlined the GOPe splitter strategy and the subsequent tripwires showcasing how the Republican political establishment manipulated the conservative movement, and our activity within elections, for many years.

In the background it took almost two years of research and tracking to identify their 2016 agenda before we could intercept it.  What follows below is of a similar level of importance.

Those who can see the maneuvers of the GOPe may have noticed the recent positioning of two key players, Nikki Haley and Liz Cheney.  Both Haley and Cheney are part of a decepticon club positioning to undermine President Trump and the America First agenda. We have previously outlined the agenda of Haley (here); so it’s time to review Cheney.

When Paul Ryan left congress he exited his role as the primary inside resistance operative; however, he did not stop the agenda.  Knowing President Trump was now officially the head of the formal republican party, prior to departure Ryan positioned Liz Cheney as an influence agent with her role as Republican Conference Chairwoman.  Essentially an explosive anti-MAGA cell with instructions to activate at a time of maximum damage.

We first warned of the Liz Cheney issue in November of 2018 after the mid-term election.

Newly installed Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (U-DC) appears on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss how the GOPe can best infiltrate the MAGA agenda.

Ms. Cheney outlines how the ‘Prescott-Bush-Stapleton’ Wall Street coalition will openly embrace all of the Trump agenda initiatives because the GOPe are able to hide behind the minority shield once again. [Thus, the dance of the decepticons]

The professionally republican no longer have the power to promote the MAGA agenda, thus the GOPe evolve back into fully embracing border security etc. It is predictable, albeit eye-opening for some, to watch them morph in real time. (link)

Two recent resistance articles highlight Ms. Cheney’s decepticon agenda mid-2020.  CNN article here and Wall St. Journal article here.  While both articles are narrated from the resistance perspective, each of them holds some common truth.

(WSJ) […] With national polls showing Mr. Trump sliding ahead of November’s election, many Republicans see Ms. Cheney—a daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney—emerging as a figure poised to help redefine the GOP when Mr. Trump is no longer leading it.

“If you’re trying to rebuild the team postelection, having a strong woman with conservative credentials from flyover country is a pretty strong platform,” said former Senate GOP aide Stewart Verdery (link – paywall)

(CNN) […] Republican sources close to Cheney told CNN they believe her recent posture towards the White House could be an attempt to carve out her own distinctive lane, positioning herself well in case Trump loses reelection. She would be able to make the case to her GOP colleagues that she was one of the few who pushed back on the President’s excesses — but without doing so in a way that antagonized him or his supporters.

[…] Cheney chose not to run for the Senate earlier this year, saying she wanted to stay in the House to stop “socialist Democrats.” Some of her colleagues say they view her as a potential House speaker if Republicans regain the House in the future. (link – CNN)

If we can retake the House of Representatives this fall, Ms. Cheney is going to try and position herself to become “speaker” or “majority leader”.  Neither position would be good for the America First agenda.  Cheney is a decepticon; they do not change. They morph to retain positions of power.

When the well attired leave the checkout line carrying steaks and shrimp using an EBT card, the door is still held open; yet notations necessarily embed.

When protestors and rioters are given special rights to assemble, yet our businesses are forced to close and we are not permitted to join in fellowship – we are pissed.

Cold Anger does not need to go to violence. For those who carry it, no conversation is needed when we meet. You cannot poll or measure fury; specifically because most who carry it necessarily avoid discussion… And that decision has nothing whatsoever to do with any form of correctness.

When the U.S. flags lay gleefully undefended, they do not lay unnoticed. When the stars and stripes are controversial, yet a foreign flag is honored – we are paying attention.

When millionaire football players kneel down rather than honor our fallen soldiers and stand proud of our country, we see that.

When the FBI sends 15 special agents to investigate a NASCAR garage door-pull; and when they kneel before those en route to tear down our national monuments we notice.

Cold Anger absorbs betrayal silently, often prudently.

Illicit trade schemes, employment and the standard of living in Vietnam and Southeast Asia are more important to Wall Street and DC lobbyists, than the financial security of Youngstown Ohio.

We get it. We understand. We didn’t create that reality, we are simply responding to it.

The intelligence apparatus of our nation was weaponized against our candidate by those who controlled the levers of government in both political parties. Now, with sanctimonious declarations they dismiss accountability.

Deliberate intent and prudence ensures we avoid failure. The course, is thoughtful vigilance; it is a strategy devoid of emotion. The media can call us anything they want, it really doesn’t matter…. we’re so far beyond the place where labels matter.

Foolishness and betrayal of our nation have served to reveal dangers within our present condition. Misplaced corrective action, regardless of intent, is neither safe nor wise. We know exactly who Donald Trump is, and we also know what he is not.

He is exactly what we need at this moment. He is a necessary glorious bastard.

He is our weapon.

Cold Anger is not driven to act in spite of itself; it drives a reckoning.

A shield, or cry of micro-aggression will provide no benefit, nor quarter. Delicate sensibilities are dispatched like a feather in a hurricane.

We are patient, but also purposeful. Pushed far enough, decisions are reached…

I had high hopes for Liz Chaney.

Disappointed again, just as I was with John Bolton.

Am I wrong? I thought that business with the “Russian bounties” was settled some time ago. Or is somebody(s)trying to revive it? Looks like another voice who is actually signed up with the wrong party.

“ She is no “ key voice””

Unfortunately, she is. House GOP made her their #3 leader. After only a single term in office.

She is a huge disappointment.
Bill Binney painted a bad face on Dick Cheney for how he scrambled the NSA. The family has issues.

How could anyone explain why they weren’t told something?

Just as how someone has to prove they didn't collude with the Russians instead of them proving that he did, or that someone has to prove they didn't molest someone instead of the them proving he did . Democrat logic. ( unless of course it was a Dem under the same circumstances. Then normal rules apply - see Tara Reade)
