1. Liz Cheney is no prize - she is and always has been awful.

She's just marginally less insane than most of the other GOPers. I wouldn't be surprised if she turned out to be more ruthless, though.

[hlthe2b]

2. ReistProgramming: NO ONE has forgotten. We aren't demented morons who change their views

based on a single solitary honest, ethical act--no matter how rare today among R's.

[Haggard Celine]

3. I thought at one time that she might be

against Trump because she had a few principles. Now I see what's her motivation. She's just nasty to everybody.

[RegularJam]

4. Under current circumstances we can afford to elevate Republicans like Mitt and Liz.

It's to our benefit and will only work to destabilize the Republican Party.

They are still knuckledraggers.

[pwb]

5. She doesn't like trump so that's good enough for me.

Trump needs to be reminded of the place the American people put him in. The basement.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. The other explanation is it came out of a lab.

I know it was unintentional but they unleashed Hell on the world.

[StarfishSaver]

7. Liz Cheney is not our friend

[maxsolomon]

14. She is the enemy of my enemy, however.

She's about to be drummed out of the GOP, along with every other Trump Resister.

[StarfishSaver]

24. True. But being the enemy of our enemy does not make her a friend

I'm glad she's doing what she's doing. But eventually, when the fever breaks, she's going to use this to advance herself and she will not be even close to good for us or the things and people we care about.

She bears very close watching.

[Disaffected]

8. I dunno but

it sounds like pretty good advice to me.

[TraceNC]

13. Agreed.

If you’re doing something that can shut down the world and kill 3.2 million people (today’s worldwide death toll) the world has a right to object to that activity.

[Disaffected]

15. For sure.

Shut down all the "bush meat" and "live" trade, whether in China or elsewhere.

Pretty much zero chance of that happening however IMO.

[BradAllison]

16. Maybe Texans should stop eating rattlesnake

I'm sure a nasty virus could develop from that shit.

[Disaffected]

18. I don't know if that's sarcasm but,

maybe they should. Do snakes harbour any corona viruses for instance?

[BradAllison]

21. Not sarcasm at all

Lizzy thinks she's scoring points because eating bats might be considered weird (and certainly unsanitary under wet market conditions) but the next virus could come from our backyard.

[Disaffected]

22. OK

[DenaliDemocrat]

19. Agreed. The Chinese penchant for bush meat and

Alternative medicine is a plague on our wild life all over the world. They need to fucking stop.

[OnDoutside]

9. In her asshole way, she had a point. The Chinese government had

Given undertakings to sort out wet markets once and for all, but didn't. While definitive proof has yet to be brought forward, largely due to the belligerence of the Chinese government and the weakness of WHO, it has not been ruled out.

Of course she was being an asshole.

[MenloParque]

10. Ok!!

Sounds like solid advice to me!! My career has me in Beijing and other mainland China cities where we have manufacturing at least 6 times a year. Unfortunately, I have been in restaurants with snakes, bats, rodents, cow penis, etc being eaten like it’s some sort of delicacy. Don’t have a problem with calling out this foul trend of eating exotic animals. No it’s not racist either.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Seen Similar

I've only been five times total, but I've seen what you describe. Except in the swanky restaurants, I saw that.

[Disaffected]

17. There is apparently a saying in China that goes something like:

"We eat anything with four legs but the kitchen table".

Unfortunately that seems to extend to any wild animal with two legs or no legs at all.

[Rustyeye77]

27. Ummm....I haven't had cow penis in a while

Tastes like chicken.

Sarcasm

[Bettie]

12. The fact that she looks relatively sane

is the perfect example of how low the rest of her party is.

A Cheney looks like the "good guy".

It makes me sick...she's not good in any sense, she's just not 100% Crazy.

[XanaDUer2]

20. She sucks

I don't trust her

[Bettie]

25. She absolutely does suck

but she isn't utterly detached from reality...only half detached.

[XanaDUer2]

26. Semi-detached nt

[Raine]

23. Good nt

[bullwinkle428]

28. Worse - she threw her own damn sister under the bus because of her political ambition.

[Irish_Dem]

29. When people are starving they will eat what they can.

Liz has never done without in her life.

30. I didn't know Stephen Miller is Chinese. nt.
