2. TY!

[Deuxcents]

3. Yes, ty..a good news day

[Me.]

4. Dear God, I Fine MYself Liking Aspects Of Liz C. & Cheering Her On

what world am I living in, what planet am I on?...

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. Me too!

Ten years ago, I'd have never pegged her as the conscience of today's Republican House of Representatives.

[FakeNoose]

10. Seems like she's the only Repuke who still has a conscience

I'm glad she's on the Jan.6th Committee.

[Me.]

15. Never Ever

My shadow government statement on all my posts was largely influenced by she and her father's criminality during the * era

[Poiuyt]

18. Liz Cheney is what Republicans used to be like

I'd disagree with them on 99% of the issues, but I knew they loved America and what it stands for.

[cilla4progress]

36. Bin

go.

[alfredo]

70. Everybody has their limits.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

7. Having her as the face of the committee is great politics

I hate her father, and disagree with her on 99% of the issues, but she is absolutely the person needed to be leading the media relations for the committee.

[Me.]

16. NIcole Described Her As A Bull In A China Shop

when China is an enemy

[OAITW r.2.0]

22. Hard to spin her as a tool for the Democrats.

Before the Insurrection, she was a reliable and concictant voice of anti-Democratic policies.

[oldsoftie]

71. Oh, they've BEEN calling her a traitor since her vote.

Doesnt matter that shes got a 99% conservative voting record; Dear Leader must NOT be questioned!

[calimary]

13. I know that feeling.

I can't believe I'm at least temporarily rooting for someone named Cheney. But I am. At least for now.

[Me.]

17. ...

[Dan]

74. She is not her father.

But yes, I respect her!!!

[berni_mccoy]

26. Same. It's because reality is warped.

[Me.]

27. Learning How To Be Flexible

with the enemy of my enemy is my friend thing

[pazzyanne]

35. I find myself in the same place and it is disorienting!

Howeve for a little perspective, she voted against a bill designed to prevent Medicare cuts.

[Me.]

41. Ah, There She Is

[Cha]

42. What Patriot wouldn't

with those encouraging Tweets!

[Me.]

53. Aloha Cha

[Cha]

57. Aloha, Me..

[Volaris]

49. One where the willpower of a Cheney is being used for good.

I know we all think shes screwed come election day, but if I were the republican party trying to run against her, I'd be damned scared of the quiet power that family wields as long as the old man hasnt kicked the bucket just yet.

Can practically promise hes digging up dirt on the insurrectionist caucus for when the time comes...

[HubertHeaver]

55. Have the hunting invitations gone out yet?

[Me.]

65. I Actually Don't Think She's Going To Lose

for the exact reason you stated. I'm willing to bet the Dick is not sitting back quietly and letting people hammer his daughter.

[spooky3]

68. I also think she will win. Name recognition,

The power of incumbency, and the fact that many people like to think they are “independent” will likely work in her favor.

[oldsoftie]

72. A Cheney win would surely make trump's head explode; and if Kemp wins HIS primary

He hates kemp with a purple passion for not following his wishes

[Me.]

73. Your Lips To God's Ears

[mnmoderatedem]

61. a measure of how far the republican party has fallen

someone with the last name Cheney is the protagonist.

[Me.]

66. Right?

I can't believe we're counting on her to help.

[calimary]

69. Yeah. No kidding!

[spanone]

5. ...K&R...

[Ohioboy]

8. At this point I'm rooting for anyone who is on the side of truth

Seriously, let's just have some truth and justice!

[MustLoveBeagles]

56. This

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

60. I agree with you.

Truth and justice have no political preference. It SHOULD be a part of ANY political party's agenda.

[Skittles]

9. I'm giving her points

yes, she is a repuke and a Cheney, and she very much helped to bring about the monster that is Donald Fucking Trump. But she recognizes just how dangerous it would be to let the events of Jan 6 be overlooked. So, good on her.

[Chuuku Davis]

11. You Go

Liz!

[IronLionZion]

12. Cheney and Kinzinger voted with Trump more than anyone in the Freedom Caucus

Dan Crenshaw made that point in an interview.

[pnwmom]

14. But her work now matters more now than all her past votes put together. n/t

[Cha]

43. Yes.. that was then..

This is Now

[PortTack]

51. Absolutely it does!! She cares about democracy and intends to fight for it

[femmedem]

20. She's an extremely conservative Republican. I disagree with her on almost everything.

But she isn't a traitor and she's willing to sacrifice everything else she believes in, as well as her own career, to help save our democracy.

I would vote for any Democrat before I'd vote for her. But I respect her.

[colorado_ufo]

23. She his backed up her words with action,

as well as with personal sacrifice of her career. It is a good lesson to remember that people are not always black and white in character.

[IronLionZion]

29. Agreed

I would never vote for her but I do respect what she's doing on this issue.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Kinzinger Was In The Freedom Caucus?

As in really in it, not just tagged by association?
They primaried him twice (once with big money) because he regularly told Meadows & Jordan to stay away from him.
Now, I agree with you that they are both far right Rs, so this last gasp of conscience may seem dubious.
But, I don't think these 2 were really card carrying members of the Freedumb Caucus.

[IronLionZion]

28. No he's not. Neither is Cheney

the point was they voted with Trump most of the time. The Freedom Caucus not so much.

The Freedom Caucus includes some actual Nazis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Caucus#Membership

[ProfessorGAC]

37. That Was My Point

We agree completely that they're still far right, so the consistent voting for anything an R president wanted is par for the course. Not at all surprising.
Kinzinger is my rep. I've talked with him. Personally, he's an ok guy. Politically he's all wrong about everything. He still believes in supply side economics, despite all the contradictory data.
But, he's not a frothing idiot.
He's going bye bye in our redistricting, but it looks like we could still end up with a R for a rep. If they drew that line 6 miles west...

[Kaleva]

24. That's because TFG wasn't radical enough on some legislation as those in the FREE-DUM Caucus

[JI7]

33. So What ? Nobody is claiming they are liberals

It's ok to agree with and even like someone on certain issues . It doesn't mean we have to support them when they run for office.

[myohmy2]

19. I'm sure...

...she doesn't want my applause but I'll applaud anyway...

...

...

[Duppers]

25. Damned refreshing...

An honest Republican.

[gab13by13]

30. It was discussed on Nicolle today,

that the documents the Appeals Court ruled on today are only 1/3 of the documents the committee is seeking.

[appmanga]

31. Amazing...

Even a Republican who's being trashed by her own party knows how to win the messaging battle. Succinct, forceful, on point, and in language that anyone can understand. She's acting like she has the freaking power BECAUSE SHE DOES!!

[DinahMoeHum]

32. The ThreadReader App version. . .

[wnylib]

40. Thank you for making this available to

those of us who cannot access Twitter.

[Kaleva]

34. We should be thankful that TFG doesn't have the attributes Liz has.

This country and the world would truly be in danger.

[ymetca]

38. Yeah, I'm chiseling my statue of her

to place right next to my Mueller one in the Tiny Heroes drawer of my nightstand.

Sorry, but I'm just not holding my breath on this exercise, until it results in the incarceration of one TFG at the end. Full stop.

[Me.]

44. No Comey?

[ymetca]

45. LOL

Oops! Forgot about him! Chiseling now..

[leftstreet]

46. You can eBay it for big money when she runs for POTUS

So there's that

[ymetca]

47. Right!

All part of the Daughter of Dark Helmet's evil plan.

[radius777]

54. +1. Yet another Fitzmas, hope this time

will be different, but the RW criminals (whether Bush era or Trump era) always seem to slither away.

[DesertRat]

39. K&R

[NowISeetheLight]

48. She represents what I used to love..

… about the Republican Party. I never agreed with all the views but I believed they cared about America. Now the Republicans are a hateful personality cult. I don’t recognize them anymore.

[housecat]

50. "The enemy of my enemy....."

[Lunabell]

52. We are political opposites in every way except integrity.

I can respect her for that even if we disagree on the rest.

[cadoman]

58. go Liz Cheney!

She has really come a long way in a short time on the most important issues.

Would it be too crazy to hope she flips to D and wins her race in Wyoming? Think she'd look good in some blue campaign material and bring along some conscientious repukelicans with her.

[DeeDeeNY]

75. For some balance . . .

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/liz-cheney/

[Mike Nelson]

59. I wonder...

... if she may be subconsciously balancing the other "Big Lie" - the one about Iraq that was probably her father's doing? I admire her strength. I admire her choice of an issue that will define her career. If it works, the Cheney name will be elevated. This includes her father... I like to think Liz and Nancy got together secretly and agreed, "Let's get this done correctly, for out country."

[librechik]

62. Sure hope so...Thanks for being a Good American, Rep Cheney

Where did you learn to do that?

[Upthevibe]

63. Thank you for this thread....

.............

[Upthevibe]

64. As much as I was completely against

V.P. Cheney when he was in office, I NEVER once thought he was a traitor.

[Joinfortmill]

76. Cheney is another "Iron Lady". She will take no prisoners.

Don't like her politics one little bit, but I like her ethics a hell of a lot.
