Liz Cheney's Only Sin, Speaking Against Trump

newsweek.com
Liz Cheney Voted With Trump
93 Percent of Her Congressional Career
"Cheney has largely been a supporter of Trump's policies, voting against impeaching him in December 2019 and finding common ground on a number of issues.. Three of the biggest votes Cheney cast out of line with Trump were to impeach the then-president in January 2021 for his role in the riot at the U.S. Capitol, and to decertify Arizona's and Pennsylvania's electors. "

For that she was cast as the enemy losing her run in the primary. It's no longer about party purity. Rather loyalty to only Trump. It most certainly would not have benefitted Democrats if she had won. Quite the opposite actually.

What does it take to be good Republican these days, a Trump boot licker? Never mind. I already know the answer as demonstrated over the last several months. The only power Trump has is what cowards afraid to speak up give him. For that many will suffer the consequences thereof. The only thing trump stands for is Trump. Everything and everyone else be damned. This is a fact. He has a proven record of destroying anyone's reputation who will not satisfy his ever changing whims.

He most certainly has not spoken highly of the United States itself when it doesn't serve his insatiable desires. He's spoken out against just about every agency (including foreign allies) we have from time to time both when he was in office and now. The FBI is only the latest. He certainly is the worst one I could possibly think of to demonstrate pride in his country promoting the ideals the United States stands for. If I were to estimate his trash mouthing there'd only be about four or five people left he hasn't. Perhaps Russia and Saudi Arabia are the only two countries he hasn't constantly spoken ill of.

A significant portion of a president's job is to promote friendship, integrity and honesty in the world having confidence in our nation enough to become a partner. Trump is the very opposite.

Here's a very partial list of  those Trump trashed.
Various generals, military policies and planning.
EPA
Dept. of Education
Capitol police
Correspondents dinners
CDC
Intelligence officials
FBI
Media (almost all of it including internet sites)
His previous lawyers
IRS
Two attorney generals
Election officials across the country
Previous supreme court members
Every past president
Number of American cities who didn't vote for him.
Trade partners
NATO
UN
Ukraine
Mexico
France
Canada
Germany

Now that I think about I should have  made a much shorter list of what he hasn't criticized. Problem is I can think of only a few immediate members of his family he has yet to trash. Course that could change at any time.

February 2022
What a spokesman for our country!

Yet Wyoming chose to support this man's reputation
over Liz Cheney's far greater patriotism?

  1. Talk about your fair and balanced articles, right? The entire last term of Cheney's position was serving those of anti- Trumpers, not the people of Wyoming. That's why she's gone ,by -30%.

    1. Not just Wyoming. She also represented the interests of U.S. on many bills that went far beyond just her state both nationally and internationally. This like all the rest of the congressional members who also have oversight responsibility on the operation of the federal government (including a president if he should get out of line).

      You can't hang your hat on Donald's shenanigans and be for good government And that's that as far as I'm concerned.
