    Reminder: Trump doesn’t want to send Cheney to jail, but the threat is made with no less despotic intent.

    He’s doing the same thing he’s been doing for 8 years - bullying until someone performs a power surrender, an obeisance. And since Liz Cheney has decided Trump is her moral line she won’t cross, after every bad decision she’s leaned into, it’ll be particularly worrying once we see her on the news praising Trump.

        Lol for real. They do have a way out of this though. They just need to move to the left of Democrats and balance things again.

      I dunno sounds like a show to me. Get rid of the democrats by making Liz flip and run blue, pulling all the centers to the “left” and pushing everyone out. Suddenly the democrats are the old republicans ideas, and the republicans are super far right.

      A win for the right wing.

        The Democratic party taking over Republican policy started back with Clinton. He deported more than just about anyone else, ended welfare as we knew it, and balanced the federal budget.

        The Democratic party simply beat the Republicans to death with their own policies. After Clinton the Republican party should have dissolved since they no longer had anything.

        They have since reinvented themselves as low IQ extremists. It is sad to see what they have become but such is life. What blows me away is people still vote for them.

    Nobody cares what Liz Cheney has to say. She’d be standing right next to trump if they weren’t feuding. Liz Cheney is just as shit as Donny, stop trying to normalize her.

    If the first thing Donald Trump did in office was arrest every Cheney and toss them into Gitmo, I would feel significantly less bad about him winning the election.

    He won’t. And that’s one more reason why he fucking sucks. This is all just theater, before the Cheneys are back to cutting the GOP checks for special O&G industry favors.
