Liz Cheney, the third-most senior House Republican was seen talking to Jamie Raskin, one of the Democrats' leading advocates of removing Donald Trump Tuesday, after she said she would vote for impeachment.

Cheney, the Republican Conference Chair, laced into Trump in an explosive statement saying he 'lit the flame' of insurrection, saying: 'There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.'

The decision to back impeachment by Cheney, a member of Republican royalty as the daughter of Dick Cheney, and seen as a future contender for the party's House leadership and the Speaker's chair, means that impeachment on Wednesday will be bipartisan.

South Carolina only elects Cheap Labor Express stooges.

Both Senators and all the Representatives are Bush League Republicans.

So Nancy didn’t show up today either.

I'm hoping she's caught herself a dose of COVID. Such evil as this witch should not have any space in this world to commit the crimes she has.

I’m from Wy and this bitch is my rep. I didn’t vote for her and never will. Unfortunately, the Cheney family seems to carry a lot of weight in this state and not sure anyone will challenge her. Hoping Trump starts his own party.

The decision is like the decision to pull the lanyard on the cannon pointing at Fort Sumter.

The outcome will not be what you expect. It is very unlikely that the outcome will be what you desire, other than a dopamine hit in your mean girl brain centers.

The outcomes, in fact, are dangerously unpredictable, which are reasons 1-25 that you should not do it. But we are past - log past - reasoning with these people. Alea iacta est.

A new party can’t come soon enough.

Its our only chance to defend ourselves IMO.

I don’t think Trump is going to start another party or anything else. I am afraid he will have his hands full protecting himself and his family

Of course, Trump the man is done.

But Trump the idea? The idea may actually have more energy without the man.

She only has her seat because Wyoming loved her Dad. They do not suffer fools gladly in the cowboy state.

The only thing I care about Cheney is that she lose her position as third in the caucus.

Has it occurred to you and others that Trump can only do so much and only take so much pressure. The guy is 74 years old and I can’t imagine what it must be like for him daily. Very one has a breaking point and Trump is no exception. I suspect he needs some serious down time and I hope he gets it.

Lizzy is going to be so surprised when Trump starts the MAGA Party and her beloved RINO Party dissipates into a branch of the Democrat Party

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We MUST express ourselves to President Trump in the next several days. Write prayers, thanks , and SUGGESTIONS like the MAGA Party

Can we PLEASE STOP with the “we must primary” nonsense??!!! The Republican Party is OVER! Why would you want to be part of a decaying corpse of a Party? Why? The sooner we start a new party the sooner the real healing will start with our side! You can’t win a war when your OWN “leaders” have betrayed you! What part of this do a lot of us don’t get? We act as if the Republican Party (or any Party) has a God given right to immortality.....it doesn’t! No institution or organization does...especially a “political” party.

Without a leader trumps movement may have nowhere to go. The best thing we can do is hit the state and local level to build. The chances of another Trump on the national scene is unlikely right now.

The irony is that, when studying historical regimes that illegally taken over countries with the help of their “loyal opposition”, those from the other party are ultimately removed as well. The new party in power knows that if the other party willingly betrays their own party, they cannot be trusted to be loyal to ANY party.

My first exposure to Liza was watching her defend the center fuel tank excuse on TWA 800. All I needed to know.
