So far, of the 10 Democrat helping GOP representatives who voted to impeach Trump the 2nd time, 4 decided not to run again, 2 will be running in November, and 4 have been ousted, with the latest being Cheney. Even with all the help from Democrats

Her concession speech may have violated campaign finance rules, due to an in-kind donation from a former CNN exec, Jeff Zeleny, who advises the moonbat J6 committee. And
Rep. Liz Cheney compares herself to Abraham Lincoln following resounding defeat in Wyoming primary
Following her primary election defeat to Harriet Hageman Tuesday evening, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., used her concession speech to compare herself to former President Abraham Lincoln and hinted that her future in politics might not be finished just yet.
“The great and original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all,” Cheney told a crowd of supporters in Jackson, Wyoming. “Lincoln ultimately prevailed, he saved our union, and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history.”
“Speaking at Gettysburg of the great task remaining before us, Lincoln said that, ‘We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from this earth.’ As we meet here tonight, that remains our greatest and most important task,” she added.
Good grief, thinking a bit highly of herself, eh?
Trump added that “Liz Cheney is a fool who played right into the hands of those who want to destroy our Country!”
She’s basically been helping Democrats, who, supposedly want things opposite of what Cheney believes in, just like the other #NeverTrumpers
In her victory speech, Hageman vowed to be accountable to the citizens of Wyoming and said that she was “sick and tired of not having a voice in the U.S. House of Representatives,” referring to Cheney.
“Wyoming has sent the message that if you are going to claim to live in Wyoming, you better damn well live in Wyoming,” Hageman said. “Wyoming has drawn a line in the sand that we put you in power, you will be accountable to us, you will answer to us, you will do what is in our best interests, and if you don’t, we will fire you.”
Can anyone name how Cheney helped Wyoming? Hence why she lost the primary election 66.3 to 28.9, with 99% in. Loony Tunes even quoted Martin Luther King, Jr
(NY Times) That was evident in her paraphrase of a quote popularized by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. — “It has been said that the long arc of history bends toward justice and freedom. That’s true, but only if we make it bend” — and even more so a few minutes later, when she turned her attention to the Civil War.
Good grief. And
In the spring of 1864, after the Union suffered more than 17,000 casualties in the Battle of the Wilderness, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant had a choice, Ms. Cheney said: to retreat or to keep fighting.
“As the fires of the battles still smoldered, Grant rode to the head of the column,” she said. “He rode to the intersection of Brock Road and Orange Plank Road. And there, as the men of his army watched and waited, instead of turning north, back toward Washington and safety, Grant turned his horse south toward Richmond and the heart of Lee’s army. Refusing to retreat, he pressed on to victory.”
General Grant, President Abraham Lincoln “and all who fought in our nation’s tragic Civil War, including my own great-great-grandfathers, saved our union,” Ms. Cheney said. “Their courage saved freedom, and if we listen closely, they are speaking to us down through generations. We must not idly squander what so many have fought and died for.”
Yet, she was devoutly helping those who want to turn the U.S. into a Progressive (nice Fascism) paradise.
Liz was a progressive? How did she ever vote liberal? She was anti Trump. Maybe yku Teach feel that alone is enough to equate her to being “progressive”
Yesterday for the first time this year 5e8’s generic ballot poll showed the Dem’s slightly ahead of the MAGA party
You wish. Three of the loons in my wine club just decided to switch to R because FJB fucked up the country so bad and they see a lack of justice and lawfare from dems. And these are old line hard core Rutgers chicks who would never…….
Even my aunt Anne who was always a dem says she can’t stand “the lawlessness” any more and they have got to stop “persecuting” Trump and his supporters Even SHE says it looks like Nazis and she’s a far left nazi herself.
Who would do the following, democrats or communists?
They’re raiding and jailing their political opponents.
They’re turning the FBI, CIA, and IRS against American citizens.
They’ve come out against freedom of speech, religion, press, the Second Amendment, and other core American ideals.
They’ve abandoned the rule of law, and now have one set of laws for themselves and another for the rest of us.
They’re deliberately trying to bankrupt us—sometimes directly (through shutting down businesses), sometimes indirectly (through wasting trillions of our dollars.)
They’re indoctrinating our children with radical ideologies.
They celebrate infanticide.
They’re making secret deals with foreign entities against our interests.
They’re deliberately keeping our borders wide open to erase our national identity.
They mandate groupthink and conformity and punish anyone who doesn’t parrot their chosen narratives, however absurd.
They’re purging the best from our military and converting what’s left into a tool of Wokeism.
They’ve transformed our once-great American cities into crime-ridden hellscapes.
They relentlessly stoke division between everyone and never miss the slightest opportunity to accuse someone or something of being racist, sexist, phobic, supremacist, etc.
They constantly work to slander, cancel, and erase our Founding Fathers, American heroes, and America itself. (E.g., they removed the statue of Theodore Roosevelt from the American Museum of Natural History.)
They want to defund the police, release criminals from prisons and disarm the rest of us.
They defend terrorists. (Joe Biden: “Antifa is an idea, not an organization.”)
They’ve ignored the first principle of the Nuremberg Code, which was written in the aftermath of WWII, and which explicitly prohibits coerced consent for experimental medications. (See, e.g., here or here.)
They’ve tried to corrupt elections on a national scale.
They’ve openly stated their desire to abolish the family structure itself.
They’ve threatened to abolish the filibuster, pack the Supreme Court, and dismantle the electoral college system.
They’re criminalizing normality on multiple fronts.
They’ve taken down American flags and raised other flags in government buildings and city streets, symbolizing their stealth political takeover.
Their leaders have literally kneeled to one form of the cause they actually serve in the Capital building. That cause being anti white racism and BLM.
So….
She’s going to start a civil war, suspend constitutional rights, enslave citizens and send them to their deaths, and then take a bullet to the head? Tall ambitions for someone so disliked by her “base”.
So the nuGOP (tRumplandia) has no room for a hardcore conservative like Rep Liz Cheney? Remember when she thought Obama wasn’t an American? Good times.
There is not a single policy position that Cheney and I (a liberal Democrat) would agree on, yet because she does not see tRump as a savior she’s worse than Adam Schiff to nuCons!!
Cheney won Wyoming primaries and general elections handily in 2016 and 2018. The only difference in 2020 is that she told the truth about DonJon tRump.
The nuGOP had not become more conservative, they’ve become more extreme, more radical and more anti-America.
Speaking of sore losers. DonJon tRump!! LOL.
PS – You all are crazy. Fooking nutz. Outa your minds. Coo Coo.
You don’t know dick about GOP politics and you are no more than an insulting piece of shit. Cheney is a disloyal RINO and has been. Now you think you have the right to decide how republicans vote. Stay in your lane asshole.
Should we discuss what you leftists did to Gov. Casey. You ran him out of the party because he didn’t believe in abortion if I recall.
It would be true if Trump had actually lost but when you are usurped by a gang of communists over throwing the election I’d be pissed to. And I am.
You lying commies run around saying the protest on 1/6 was an insurrection. If the most heavily armed citizens on earth were having a fuking insurrection you’d have known it shit-for-brains.
All you leftists are doing is agitating and causing problems in America. Why don’t you commies move to Cuba where you fit in.
Fjb the pedo rapist.
Jeff,
List the things that Cheney found wrong with Trump. Or list the various, proven, crimes of Trump. List the agenda Trump put in place that was so bad for all of us.
Other than your numerous lies about Trump being a rapist or other unproven allegations you have nothing.
At the end of the day, Jeff is nothing but a liar, bigot, racist, bully, coward and ignorant fool. Your only pleasure is to come to a site like this and call everyone names, and spread lies all to simply make other upset. You even trashed your corporation by spending all your time on the internet rather than paying attention to business and stats.
Good job, J. Now please list their “radical and anti-American” agenda.
Hell, I’m beginning to think there’s something seriously wrong in the head of that white boy Elwood. I mean how anyone could be so screwed up about so many obvious things and actually go out and tell people is beyond reason.
There is nothing I can think of as an American citizen that would have me agree that raiding a former and possibly future presidents home with an army of armed agents is a legitimate “law enforcement” imperative. Let alone have these people going through his wife’s undies and their living quarters. This isn’t some drug dealer in Detroit fellas. There’s no reason for this except political theatre. It’s so third world. I guess beside ruining out economy, screwing up in Afghanistan, screwing up the Ukraine, destroying our energy independence and with it our ability to access cheap energy, screw up our national medical agencies to the point nobody trusts them and teaming up with the media to censor and regulate free speech which I still think is illegal they still were scared shitless about Trump and they are just cowards like david7134 stated.
Unless they are really looking for a civil war they should be acting calm not agitating every non leftist in America. We do out number them and unless they have a fetish to see their neighbors and family dead in the streets like we see in third world countries I would think he’d simmer the hell down.
Oh, Elwood we were not trying to overthrow the government regardless of what your idiot sources say. If we were we would have come armed to that party. The fact you’re still breathing shows there was not intent.
Now settle down and try and act like you’re talking to fellow Americans who are genuinely concerned about where we’re going. Don’t play the fool for the commies.
Hello Friend,
I saw your post on the interweb the other day about that nasty thing Team A did, even though they always completely lose their collective mind with moralistic outrage if Team B (which I understand is your team) even thoughtcrimes about doing something similar. In fact Team A seems to blatantly do things all the time that no one on Team B could ever get away with doing without being universally condemned as the absolute worst sort of immoral criminal/being openly threatened with mob violence/losing their livelihood/having their assets frozen/being rounded up by the state and shipped to a black site somewhere for some extended TLC.
Maybe the latest thing was breaking some very important public health rules, or pillaging and burning down government buildings for fun, or mean tweets, or polluting the planet with a private jet, or using allegedly neutral public institutions against political opponents, or just engaging in a little tax-dodging or corruption while doing, like, a ton of blow in a hotel room with some capital city hookers – I forget the specifics. In fact I forget what country you’re even living in now days.
But I did see that slick video you posted on how just pointing out “imagine if someone on Team B did this!” is all it takes to blow the lid off this glaring hypocrisy, thus totally destroying Team A with facts and logic. I’ve noticed you posting a lot of things like this, which is nice, since they are very witty and produce a pleasant buzz of smug superiority, even though this feeling never lasts very long.
However, I suddenly realized that you may not be in on the joke, so to speak, so I figured I’d write this short PSA to help explain what “hypocrisy” in politics actually is, just in case you didn’t know and had been fooled into seriously trying to benefit Team B with your comparative memes.
You see, it’s possible you are under the misapprehension that you are not supposed to notice what you described as the “double-standard” in acceptable behavior between Team A and Team B. And that you think if you point out this double-standard, you are foiling the other team’s plot and holding them accountable. This might be because, in your mind, you are still in high school debate club, where if you finger your opponent for having violated the evenly-applied rules a neutral arbiter of acceptable behavior will recognize this unfairness and penalize them with demerits.
Except in reality you are not holding Team A accountable, and in fact are notably never able to hold them accountable for anything at all. Even though Team A gets to hold you accountable for everything and anything whenever they want. This is because unfortunately there is no neutral arbiter listening to your whining. In fact, currently the only arbiter is Team A, because Team A has consolidated all the power to decide the rules, and to enforce or not enforce those rules as they see fit.
As some dead American white male once said, “The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.” And if you remember there once being a more equal, neutral standard for both teams in the past, that probably wasn’t because either team was nicer back then, or was more constrained by some higher power within or above the system – there was just a more equal balance of power between them, and therefore they could both hold each other accountable by punishing the other if it strayed too far from “the rules” written down on a scrap of paper somewhere.
Today, however, Team A is not operating on remotely the same level as Team B. And your biggest misunderstanding may be that you think Team A doesn’t want Team B to recognize this fact and point it out for the whole world to see. Yes there is a separate-and-not-equal standard for Team A, and this is no accident. Yes there are two different tiers of acceptable behavior; two tiers of justice; two tiers of citizen.
In fact, there is no “Team A” or “Team B,” only Class A and Class B.
And Class A really wants everyone, especially Class B, to understand this, because they think Class B seriously needs to get the message and accept its place in the order of things. Class B is on the bottom, where it belongs. Class A is on top, and a more lenient standard is a privilege reserved for them, by virtue of their natural moral/educational/economic/aesthetic superiority and consequent rightful dominance. If Class B does not enjoy this discipline, they should strive to clean up their dirty, stupid, wicked ways and someday become part of Class A.
Friend, you are not in high school debate club anymore. You are a peasant in feudal Japan, and every day the Samurai get to denigrate, abuse, and rough up your kind as much as they want. But if you ever talk back to a samurai, let alone try to do a little roughing up of your own, you will be beheaded on the spot. And far from being punished for this, the samurai who does it will be praised for doing his duty, since uppity peasants are dangerous and immoral and need to be dealt with at once, before they threaten the established social hierarchy. That samurai is just protecting democracy the Shogunate. Pointing out the hierarchy of the social order as a peasant will be met only with a nod of approval: “yes, that is how it is, it’s good that now you finally understand.”
“Hypocrisy,” I hope you now see, is simply a display of power, so the more blatant it is the better. Hypocrisy is a concrete demonstration of living without having to fear consequences. And Class A loves it when Class B notices this and whines about it, because complaining about hypocrisy is just another way of saying “Class A is higher status than me,” and “I am the loser.” That’s the joke.
Much like the Great Khan, Class A has decided the greatest happiness in life is to crush its class enemies, see them driven before it, and hear the lamentations of their pundits.
Fundamentally, Class A believes the purpose of power is to reward its friends and punish its enemies. Which is what it does. That way it can keep its enemies down at the same time as it attracts more friends by offering great perks for class membership. And as a controversial Arab thought-leader once said: everyone prefers a strong horse to a weak horse.
If you, Class B serf, do not enjoy this arrangement, your lamentations about hypocrisy will not change it, no matter how loud and shrill. Only taking back control of the levers of power and then using that power to strike the fear of accountability into the hearts of your ruling class will ever be able to do that.
Over there, Abe.
