Liz Cheney is no longer a member of Congress, but that didn’t stop her from trying to pick a fight with Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-GA. Cheney tweeted from the unemployment line on Monday, lecturing Greene on the “governing principles of America” after the Georgia congresswoman proposed a national divorce.
Greene had tweeted earlier,
“We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”
Greene’s comments sparked disapproval from both sides of the aisle. Her proposal is still making headlines two days later. Cheney, who has been languishing in obscurity since getting trounced by 40 points last summer, decided this would be her moment to shine.
“Let’s review some of the governing principles of America, [Marjorie Taylor Greene] Our country is governed by the Constitution. You swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Secession is unconstitutional. No member of Congress should advocate secession, Marjorie.”
On both sides of the debate, Liz Cheney was the last person anybody wanted to hear from. Republicans especially were not interested in a lecture from the former January 6 committee vice chair.
“Where does the Constitution forbid secession?” Grabien founder Tom Elliot asked. “Seems weird the Founders would do so since secession is how the colonies broke free from King George III.”
Well, Liz,” wrote one commenter, “this may come as a surprise to you, but the Constitution very clearly states…
‘That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government'”
Former California Senate Candidate James Bradley, R, also said, “You swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. So did you, and then the first thing you did was betray a duly-elected president because the Democrats paid you better. Never think you can lecture us, honey.”
Bradley hits the nail on the head.
According to Cheney’s financial disclosure statements, her net worth exploded by as much as 600% during her time in Congress. By 2020, her net worth was estimated to be as high as $44 million, compared to around $7 million when she entered Congress in 2017.
Cheney is reportedly mulling over a potential 2024 presidential run. If she wants to win the presidency, however, she will likely need more than the $44 million and five supporters that she currently has. Perhaps a few more scolding tweets will put her over the top.
They already have a black homeland in West Africa called Liberia. The US purchased the land in 1822 with the sole purpose of providing freed slave, and black people in general, a home / nation to return to.
This is from the Declaration, not the Constitution:....”That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,...”
Years ago I worked for a lady that was very liberal & she heard another lady call me honey. The lady was like everyone’s mom. My manager about stroked out and wanted to record an HR incident on my behalf. I remember telling her she was free to do whatever she wanted but I wasn’t upset about it. This was back in the 90’s, the original Karen.
To be fair, there have been more than enough bad male guvs.
That’s okay: It bore repeating.
She probably didn’t realize that she was burying herself with the move she made.
She’s so toxic and so well known (infamous for many on the right) that she will NEVER recover from that.
She’s a Hanoi Jane of the Republican party and many folks will NEVER, EVER forgive her.
Lez Romney the traitor has no friends
Bahahahananah
the article is referencing FEMALE, if you read that correctly, your possible “um, actually”, is a non sequetor.
“ It’s Hon and it’s not an insult”
That’s right it means they’re being nice to you
Even if one accepts Texas v White, there is no limitation on the ways in which the Constituon can be amended. So amend it to allow secession. Or better yet, allow a super majority of states to expel any other state. If such an amendment cannot make it through Congress, well there is the convention method.
Clearly this type of largesse should get people put into jail.

Um, the article cites someone attributing words from the DoI as being from the Constitution.
Civics 101.
>> How many blacks would choose to live in a “Black Homeland”? My guess? About 0.005%. <<
So.... we’re not counting Atlanta?
I think that’s why Liberia was first created, IIRC.
Whites still run the economy there.
I was joking. There’s also Buckland.
Not smart to argue with a genius like MTG.
“That’s in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution.”
They’re both considered “Founding Documents.”
So? The commenter quoted didn’t say it was in a “Founding Document”, he said it was in the Constitution.

My bad. I was flashing back to all the times libs quoted the poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty as justification for open borders.
