The Cheneys take on Trump
Yahook ^ | Jan 4 2021 | Jon Ward

One day before the country roused itself from a holiday break, one of the most powerful families in Republican politics issued a double-barreled rebuke of President Trump.

Dick Cheney, the former vice president, and Liz Cheney, the third-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives, drew on their significant political capital and decades of experience in Washington to attack the president’s false claims of vote stealing and his undemocratic effort to overturn the election, which President-elect Joe Biden won.

Anybody who says the GOP is now “ Trump’s party,” explain to me how Liz Cheney was elected by House Republicans to the No 3 post in their caucus, only two years after being elected to Congress?

And explain how Cheney-Romney allies, McConnell and Thune, are the top two in the Senate GOP?

Most GOP senators will vote against challenges to Biden’s fraudulent electors on Wednesday. A whole bunch of GOP house members, led by Liz Cheney, will do the same

And last week Republicans in both chambers massively overrode Trumps defense-Bill veto, while Mitch refused Trumps request to let the Senate vote on $2k stimulus checks

Meanwhile, in the two contested states where the GOP has the governorship - Arizona and Georgia - the governors are fighting against Trump.

Folks, it’s not Trumps party. It still belongs to Bushbots and Cheney minions.

Remember when many Freepers worshipped Bush-Cheney? A lot of party bigwigs (and a good number of suburban doccer mom Republican voters) still do.

As for me, I didn’t vote for the Republican candidates for president in 2004, 2008, or 2012. I happily voted for Trump in hopes that we’d seen the last of Cheney Republicanism. But it looks like the party’s future belongs to Cheney followers, so I’ll be leaving the GOP again.

The GOP wants to go the way of the Whig party. What a pack of lying, self-serving creeps.

Although I do not believe elections mean anything anymore, I think that deregistering from the Republican party and then letting the RNC know, might be of some effect, especially if they do not under any circumstances get any money from anyone. Money speaks, if nothing else.

I’ll have to cruise outside and round up some rotting doqsqueezins for “I’m A Dick” Cheney and his useless offspring to consume...

I think Mr. Trump should spend the next three years holding rallies specifically geared to unseating every Republican Senator and Representative that did not support him in this fraudulent election.

Then he can have a better party when he gets the oval office in 2025.

“Folks, it’s not Trumps party. It still belongs to Bushbots and Cheney minions.”
That is true ONLY if WE fold like a cheap suit and slink away with our tails between our legs. If we stand strong, are vocal, and stand side-by-side, together we can defeat these Globalist RINO’s.
But, it will take grit and determination. Something the Establishment doubts we have the stomach for. It’s up to US to prove them sorely mistaken.
It sounds to me from your post you may not be up to the fight.

"to attack the president’s false claims of vote stealing and his undemocratic effort to overturn the election, which President-elect Joe Biden won."

Remarkable how the Derp Stater Stalinazi Satanists can repeat lies over and over again and expect the public to believe them to be 100% true.

If President Trump is not seated on 1/20/2021 to his second term that he won, we’ll never have another honest election again - barring a very ugly civil war. The Derp State can fix any election they please to achieve the results THEY want.

I estimate that small government conservatives are 25% of the consistent voting public [19% voted Perot in 1992, DESPITE all the Media-Uniparty-Deep State dirty tricks, which President Trump has shown us to be real things]. Wait'll these Repukes get a load of the Woke Twenty Five Percent...

Liz Cheney can shoot her mouth off because she's got 68% in her district.

Wait'll her less vote-gifted fellows start getting consumed by the angry conservative wovles...

“the president’s false claims of vote stealing and his undemocratic effort to overturn the election, which President-elect Joe Biden won”

how would the Cheneys know if the thousands of claims by thousands of people were “false”. and what is “undemocratic” about wanting to investigate?

and who really knows if Biden “won”? certainly not the Cheneys.

It’s that Qatar pipeline money. They’ve simply got to get the US military back into Syria and Assad out - or nobody gets paid.

WY needs to primary and dismiss that arrogant, war-mongering elitist.

Oil demand is down globally. WY will hurt. She needs to MAGA or move to the east coast. WY is coal, natural gas, and oil. A blue collar mining state. What did they ever see in her.

You know, I really detest that family at this point.

Toss in the Bush family, and the harm these people are doing
to our nation ranks right up there with the Democrats and
their Fascist enabling ways.

How can these people and Mitt Romney be so clueless to what
is going on here?

Does Dick really think that it’s okay if the Democrats win
the majority through fraud, then add two states, and toy
with the SCOTUS?

There’s a sickness in the land, and once infected. some
folks don’t even know they have come down with it.

Screw the Cheneys and screw the guy who wrote the propaganda above.

Liz Cheney at 68% in her "safe" district is not going to be facing the bayonets.

But her fellow Repuke squishes in the less safe districts are, and she's going to be hearing their screams, over and over.

I estimate we can get mostly everyone who is under 57%...

Dick “head” Cheney should take Liz out on a pheasant hunt.

“It sounds to me from your post you may not be up to the fight.”

As a lurker, I watched freepers get flamed and even banned for criticizing Bush, Cheney and the Iraq War. I am not optimistic that, once Trump is gone, many freepers and other rank-and-file Republicans won’t fall in line with the party establishment - and denounce dissenters - just like they did when Bush was president, and when McCain and Romney were running.
