~~The Democrat convention featured a full set of the party's presidents, save for Jimmy Carter, who turns one hundred next month. But, otherwise, there were present not only both Obamas but both Clintons, and even both Bidens, even though almost every one in that sextet loathes the other five, and certainly all six despise Kamala. But they're Democrats first, so they suck it up.
How's it going over on the Republican side? Well, former president George W Bush has announced he won't be endorsing anyone in this election. On the other hand, over two hundred Bush, McCain and Romney staffers have declared they're voting for Kamala. I'm not sure I've heard of any of them, but, as you know, the McCain and Romney campaigns remain bywords for hugely successful political operations, so no doubt many of those hundreds of staffers helped craft what are widely acknowledged to be two of the most impressive concession speeches in American history.
And then there's Dick Cheney...

Statement from Former Vice President Dick Cheney:
"In our nation's 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump. He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after... pic.twitter.com/TXDlTTLOvq — Yashar Ali 🐘 (@yashar) September 6, 2024

If I called Dick “Less” Cheney a rotting pile of foetid dogsqueezins, I would be insulting self-respecting piles of rotting, foetid dogsqueezins everywhere.
If Cheney dies before the “election”, he’ll still vote Democrat.
A Republican POTUS NOT endorsing Trump is a face saving de-facto endorsement of Harris.
Dam the RINOs…Cheneys, all of them. They are as destructive as the Dem campaign.
The TDS is strong with Cheney for him to spew that quote
I’m surprised he didn’t swear/cuss
He needs a time out.
Bush is keeping quiet at least. He’s politically retired so is intent on not uttering another word in public.
Those 2 had a lot of loyalty and respect among Freepers
What happened to party loyalty? They once demanded it
This was only 20 years ago
In my lifetime (for once)
I’ve never seen such a dramatic change like this especially in politics
Cheney is a cuckold to his daughter. What a pitiful old man.
It's probably too much to hope for, but at some point, people really do need to come to grips with the reality that these "Republicans in Name Only" are the true Republicans. The Trump supporters/MAGA-ites are the outliers.
However the election in 2024 turns out, after Trump passes from the scene, one will have no choice but to decide whether one is on the side of the globalists or, rather, supports an anti-globalist/America First agenda. All Republican elites are globalists. All of them.
Whatever happens after November, there are no takers among the GOP base for a return to Bush-Cheney "conservatism".
But this observation is the chilling part:
Be that as it may, it quickly became clear - not least through multiple lies and obfuscations in Congressional testimony - that the Secret Service and other elements in the federal government created the conditions that permitted that bullet to hit a former president in the head (and kill an American citizen). And that's putting it at its mildest: even after the shooting was underway, it was a local copper - not the feds - who was the first to fire back and hit the alleged perp.
Consider the implications of that, especially if you're the family of Corey Comperatore. That's a far "greater threat to our republic" than the man those corrupted alphabet agencies failed to protect. Cheney is contemptible.
If you assume willful negligence to create the environment for July 13, the willingness to accept 'collateral damage' by the people behind it speaks volumes.
Until the average Republican voter caught on to their bad faith "America Last" agenda , that started by kicking Jeb! to the curb.
True dat
Steyn: “ TweedleDem vs TweedleRep”
It only goes one way.
Much like "our democracy"™ doesn't mean the same thing to the Uniparty as it does to Merriam-Webster. In my mind, "our democracy"™ and "international rules based order" are in a certain respect interchangeable to those people, and representative government is not part of those phrases.
Trump is probably the last time I will vote Republican as a ticket.
I had to chuckle when Steyn said that Trump has forced Dick Cheney into the same party as Ilhan Omar.
Shows you the actual small petty mindedness of the Cheneys.
They would rather side with enemies than respect the wishes of the American voters.
And they betrayed us from day one in office. The Bush Crime Family is a bunch of treasonous CIA spooks and criminals.
On top of Steyn’s comments on individuals, it’s a good analysis.
