Me.
(35,454 posts)it's what I've been saying for days now, ever since she did interviews slamming PJB. And she was right there with her father in this endeavor.

(2,962 posts)Went to a protest in Houston by the hotel the shareholders were meeting at.
Two protests
The second one the police turned violent.
I have the video.
I was almost killed by a cop on horseback.
Tried to slam me into a wall with his horse.
Another protester pulled me out of the way just in time.
I remember her daddy alright.
The police were out of control.

(25,981 posts)Good on you for protesting, Texaswitchy. Glad to hear you survived.

(2,962 posts)Real close.
I was video taping with my then state of the art high 8 video camera.
I had video taped the start of the police attacking the protesters.
That is why I was attacked.
The guy that saved me was about 6' 7".
Yank me right off the ground into the air
The cop and horse slammed into the wall.
One cop parked his horse on a woman's foot and wouldn't back off. Broke her foot.
They were pulling young guys from the sidewalk and arresting them.
We won the battle.
We didn't leave.
Shut up Liz your Daddy is thrash.

(7,850 posts)just because she voted yes on impeachment #2, sits on the January 6 committee, and overtly hates Trump, Kevin McCarthy, and Jim Jordan, that doesn't make her a saint...she voted against impeachment #1, voted with Trump over 90% of the time..and she was very quick to bash Biden for Daddy's Epic Fail...we Dems have to stop canonizing Republicans who have rare moments of lucidity...Adam Kinzinger, I'm talking about you, too!!

(82,849 posts)And Dick Cheney's deferred compensation was in danger of going unpaid (not that Unka Dick hadn't already been paid quite well during his time at Halliburton). But it sure was Unka Dick's lucky day when his boss (heh) Dubya decided to invade Afghanistan and Halliburton was in line for some of those sweet defense contracts.
But all of that is now ancient history and Daughter Dearest doesn't know anything about any of that.

(10,272 posts)Heres the thing tho...he didnt escape. His ass was trapped outright in Tora Bora, and he was allowed to leave via dint of her own old man deciding he wasnt worth killing.
So heres how we gonna handle this:
When Liz is correct, shes gonna get credit for being Not Wrong.
When shes INcorrect, she can be ttreated EXACTLY THE SAME as all the other idiots in her party that cant tell the difference between fantasy and reality
Welcome to the real world, Liz. Hope you enjoy your time with us.
