To Dick Cheney and His Ilk: It’s Not About Trump
American Spectator ^ | Aug. 6, 2022 | MELISSA MACKENZIE

Posted on 08/07/2022 11:37:07 AM PDT by libstripper

n the grips of monomania, psychotic people perseverate on their object of interest. They talk about their enthusiasm incessantly and believe, wrongly, that everyone else is similarly inclined. America’s establishment, left and right, and the media, are obsessed with Donald J. Trump. Trump’s tweets, his pretend press releases, his real ones, doesn’t matter. He occupies every neuron and inflames them. With each sweaty proclamation, the monomaniacs sound increasingly unhinged. Dick Cheney called Donald Trump the greatest threat to humanity and America and all that is good and decent. And also, he’s proud of his daughter because she staked her whole life and career on stopping a politician who is not currently in office and isn’t on the ballot. Vote for the obsessive! She cares!

At risk of writing into the void, it is not about Donald Trump.

Biden has allowed more than half of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to be sold off.

The SPR is created for emergencies such as hurricanes or wars.

Biden’s emergency was the collapse of his poll numbers.

I loved this part of the article:

*** All of you created the need for a Donald Trump and you’re creating the need again. Like a finger caught in a Chinese trap, you keep fighting and make an enemy of your creation. This enemy is a necessity because you’re everything you used to hate. Look in the mirror. Do a gut check. Review your life choices. You haven’t been betrayed by the American people. You betrayed them and now, they’re spitting you out.***

The Cheneys are two Psychopaths cut from the same cloth. They deem their entitlement to power as more important and a superior aim than the preservation and invigoration of the United States as a republic. Their delusion is exactly the same as Peter Strzok, McCabe, Brennan, and so many others we have seen. In the end, it is their individual opinions of themselves and what they think they are entitled to that they hold above the Constitution. It is very much like the arsonist who goes around setting fires in an effort to prove himself heroic.

Even the small handful of good GOP politicians don’t seem to possess the awareness to publicly articulate the fact that the only reason the GOP became known as the party of flag waving church goers, is because 75% of those flag waving church goers were working class Democrats, who only defected to the GOP in the late 60’s and 70’s, because they were alienated by the flag burning hippies.

Yet right from the get go, the GOP Establishment never liked or identified with these voters. They simply recognized that they needed their votes in a changing political landscape. So for the past 50 plus years, they’ve been lying to us and grifting off of us.

The only reason we didn’t see it decades ago, is because the Uniparty has moved the country in the wrong direction very slowly and incrementally, as older, more traditional Americans died off, and younger Americans were indoctrinated into both Left wing and Globalist ideology.

The only reason we see it now, is because they’ve pushed the country to such extremes, a lot of us had no choice but to wake up, because we’re not complete idiots. The GOP Establishment has their backs to the wall, and their only hope is that there’s still more GOP voters out there who are still asleep than the ones who are now awake.

It’s about Trump in a good way

He did what he promised or tried

And he leads

He got us together and is our leader

Make him caudillo for two terms would suit me

And he had a landslide stolen from him by the globalists and his own party which failed to defend him

When Hayes almost stole the election from Tilden at the end of reconstruction the democrats northern and southern at least extracted the end of reconstruction and the political death of the radical republicans for allowing Hayes to take office in a somewhat similar situation of a divided nation and questionable election

We got zip except most radical Klain run White House in history

Not only do they despise Trump, but they hate his supporters even more - enough to kill us?

It’s about the alleged ‘two-party’ system we currently have- Democrat, and democrat-lite.

“...it’s Donald Trump who gave Scooter Libby a full pardon...”

Oh wow, I forgot about that. So he kissed these follks’ rings a bit, and did the right thing.

Really don’t get the freak out over Trump. So many of the “controversial” things he did (Embassy to Jerusalem for one example) were things that many (all?) pres candidates pledged to do, but then just spinelessly backed out. Then Trump does it and world does not end.

Dick Cheney looks like a maniac in the picture with this piece. Like he’s every single dreadful thing the Left ever accused him of being. Times a thousand!

No, we can’t give up, we’ve got to continue to remake the R party. Drive these RINOS OUT.

Your post made me think of a Avenue Diagram.

Cheney in the middle with circles if Strozk, Brennen, Clapper, Romney, etc all around and intersecting the Cheney circle.

A Venn Diagram

Not Avenue Diagram.

Spellcheck as usual.

The neighbors I live with in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania are exactly as you describe. When Ronald Reagan ran up a 49 state electoral landslide in 1984, Walter Mondale still carried this county, albeit narrowly.

The first GOP candidate to win it thereafter was George W, Bush in 2000, by less than a 6% margin. No Democrat came even close to winning our county thereafter. By 2016-2020, Trump was winning by 30%.

I like how the author writes; it pretty sums up my thoughts, feelings, and frustration over these people that I supported over the decades.

To which of the two little Dick Cheney’s is the author really referring? The one who got off for shooting another hunter in the face or the one who is not going to get off for shooting off her own mouth?

These warmongering globalists are losing their grip on the Republican Party, and that bo there’s the hell out of them. Good riddance to every one of those wretched A-holes.
