Title: Cheney is Out
Post by: Ben on May 12, 2021, 10:21:03 AM
Cheney is out as GOP Conference Chair. Part of her ending remarks included pretty much a vendetta against Trump.

TDS - it's not just for democrats anymore.

From what I could tell, she did some good work in that position, but once she bought into "armed insurrection and dog whistles", she lost her credibility.

Her obsession with Trump is a very good reason to get rid of her.  That does not represent a very good thought process IMO.

Call me when they dump McConnel and McCarthy.

Agreed.  Note that her parting shot after the vote was "orange man bad."

It's crazy to me how big of a story this is being made in the news. I mean, it's surely worth an article or two in the politics section but both left & right wing news outlets have been obsessing over it. I doubt that many people, even those who follow politics closely, could name the House Democratic Caucus Chairman off the top of their heads.

Just mad because she won’t ever get to a position to start a war for daddy like Bush part deux did.

Red meat for Trumpers that has zero influence on anything in the larger scheme of things IMHO.

A lot of media outlets are pushing the narrative "Trump broke the GOP" and Cheney's ouster is being touted as proof.

Nancy Pelosi is probably having a good cry - with Liz Cheney ousted from a leadership position and reduced to irrelevance (and likely to lose her seat in 2022) Nancy's only prominent RINO mouthpiece will be Mitt Romney.

In another 18 months Liz Cheney will probably be choosing curtains for her new office over at MSDNC or CNN where she'll be joining the editorial staff.

Already on the way:

Every day, these "Republicans" make it clear their loyalties lie with the ruling class, not the voters they are supposed to represent.

I figure she pissed off the leadership or other Republicans somehow.  I would guess she is hurting fundraising.

Both the Ds and the Rs answer to The Ruling Class.  America has finally devolved into a large Administrative State run by the Oligarchs.  The question is how badly they'll screw things up.

Or... Could be that some republicans actually realizing that Trump wasn't a "candidate."
 
He was a symptom of the disaffection that VERY MUCH of America had with the system. And with THEIR system.

And the answer is yes.

Another useless RINO out, and good riddance.

Saw Liz Cheney being interviewed by Bret Baier on Fox.

It seemed that no matter what the question was, she always circled back to some variation of "Orange man bad, election was honest" in her answer. In a way, she reminded me of those customer service phone trees that use voice recognition and always seem to route you to the same useless non-answer to your issue no matter how you phrase your question.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

You know how the Left always tells the truth about itself by making up lies about Americans?
