Donald Trump deserves every single hit he should be receiving from his fellow Republicans. The only issue, though, is that so damn few of them are willing to say the things that came from U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney this morning.
What in the world is happening to me in this crazy political world? I am in a state of unadulterated admiration for a conservative Republican member of Congress who is speaking the unvarnished truth about a twice-impeached carnival barker who once masqueraded as a single-term president of the United States.
Cheney, one of two GOP members of the U.S. House committee examining the events of 1/6, said this among other things this morning: “He crossed lines no American president has ever crossed before,” she said in an interview with “This Week” anchor George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. “When a president refuses to tell the mob to stop, when he refuses to defend any of the coordinate branches of government, he cannot be trusted.”
She also said that said Trump is “clearly unfit for future office [and] clearly can never be anywhere near the Oval Office ever again.”
The mob attacked Capitol Hill at Trump’s urging. Trump then said silently by, watching the mayhem overwhelm the Capitol building without ever telling the rioters to stand down, to go home, to cease the violence.
Holy crap, congresswoman!

She knows she is right. I know she is right. The crisis facing the Republican Party, though, is that most of its members believe Cheney is a loon and that Trump is a hero to some movement followers who adhere to that Deep State/QAnon/Big Lie horsepucky that keeps flowing from Trump’s overfed pie hole.
Cheney also said today that all 535 members of Congress — House members and senators — take the same oath of office, which is to “protect the Constitution” and follow the law. That oath, she said, makes no provision for following the dictates of a single individual.
If only others within her party would listen to the wisdom Liz Cheney delivers.
She’s always been this person.❤️❤️
I believe she’ll win re-election in a tough fight.
I’m expecting the commission report to have about the same impact as the Mueller report.
Bi-partisan support and commendation.
I hope you’re right. I wouldn’t vote for her if given the chance, but her fate belongs to the people of Wyo. It’s their call and I hope they realize Cheney is speaking the truth about Trump and they need someone to represent their values, not hue to the cult that DJT has developed.
