Former vice president Richard B. Cheney was greeted warmly by Democrats on Thursday afternoon as the House opened for a moment of silence and brief remarks by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

Ahead of the chamber’s noon session, Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) huddled with Cheney and his daughter, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), one of the few Republicans who has condemned Trump for his role in inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection. Liz Cheney is one of two Republicans serving on the select committee investigating the attack.

Schiff told the former vice president and onetime Wyoming congressman, “It’s good to see you again.”

The elder Cheney, who rose through the ranks at the Capitol to be House Republican whip, told reporters he attended Thursday’s session to support his daughter. Asked about the current GOP leadership and Jan. 6, Cheney said, “It’s not a leadership that resembles any of the folks I knew when I was here for 10 years.”

1. Trumpjr/Thiel Planning a anti-Liz Cheney Rally for Jan 26th.

Tech billionaire Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr. are co-hosting a pair of January fundraisers for Wyoming Republican Harriet Hageman, the Trump-backed primary challenger running against GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, according to an invitation to be sent out to GOP donors Thursday.

Thiel, a PayPal co-founder and early Facebook investor who has emerged as one of the most sought-after donors in the Republican Party, is hosting the Jan. 26 fundraiser for Hageman’s campaign at his Miami home. That same day, Thiel is also slated to host a separate event benefiting Wyoming Values PAC, a pro-Hageman super PAC.

Trump Jr. and his girlfriend, former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, are listed as the special guests for the two fundraisers.

Old Dick Cheney's ALWAYS been very good to Wyoming, so this is his F You moment

[orwell]

4. Peter Thiel...

...Robert Mercer, Steve Bannon...straight up evil.

This is the real face of the power behind the coup.

Trump is their sociopathic sock puppet...

[Budi]

6. Yup. Thiel & his Silicon Valley tech hacks are the money machine that controlled the messaging

Libertarian Thiel. Right their with his insiders the Kochs, Khanna, Mercers, Bannon & Libertarian Rand Paul..Exley, Stripe Cr Card Developer Saikat Chakrabarti...etc..
Ya they're all in on the machine behind the big distraction, Trump.

Money & Media ..

[orwell]

11. Oil money...

...tech money, banking and finance.

Why any trailer park rube thinks that this crowd "has their back" is beyond me.

They buy conclaves in New Zealand (a properly run liberal democracy), to escape the climate and class warfare hell they are creating. Toxic libertarians shepherding gullible evangelicals into the "Trumpocalypse", with the highly targeted mind control of social media.

And we will pay for our demise with fake crypto-libertarian DogeCoins as a symbol of our "freedumb."

The fifty year trap has been sprung...

[bucolic_frolic]

3. We had our differences with Dick Cheney

but no one can say Democrats didn't stand with GWB-Cheney in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. This is patriotism on display.

9. Makes ya wonder what gem Liz is gonna lob out there today, to have Dad standing next to her

Hope its a doozy!

Who's in today's line of fire?

[elleng]

5. OY!

how times have changed!

[FailureToCommunicate]

7. So, ONE actual Republican member of Congress. The NPR report kept saying "a few"

Rs were in attendance.

[Budi]

8. A few would be ..3?

Liz, Adam & Dick



Oye, media

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. I get the "enemy of my enemy is my friend", but to warmly greet that war criminal? Nt

[llmart]

13. Dick Cheney is looking pretty bad in the clips I saw.

His time is probably coming up and dickheads like him sometimes get a real awakening when they're about to meet their maker.

The fact that there were only two current GOP'ers in attendance says volumes about today's GOP. I'm thinking of that great line in "A Few Good Men" - "you can't handle the truth". That about sums it up.

[Bucky]

16. He'd be dead by now, but Hell keeps on rejecting him

[Gore1FL]

14. An entire party tacitly approves of last year's attack on our nation. nt

[Bucky]

15. Well, we buddied up with Stalin when we faced the last fascist threat. Why not Cheney?

The people he and Dubya sent to needlessly die, including two of my former students, are still needlessly dead, in case anyone forgot that time the Republicans torched world wide goodwill and support for the United States.

[sarcasmo]

17. Richard dropped the Dick?
