    Cheney is a neocon warmonger just like her dear old dad. The only reason she agreed to be on the Jan 6 witch hunt panel is because she knew she was going to lose her primary just like the other 7 out of 10 Repubs that voted for Trump's impeachment. She committed political suicide and thought she might as well go out swinging. She basically thought that if she couldn't help her own party than she might as well try and help the uniparty. Nice try Liz! Enjoy your millions of dollars of wealth in retirement that you acquired in just 6 years as a public servant.

     
    Yeah, these are called 'principles'.  You should check into them some time.  Voting for impeachment was political suicide for her.  That should make you respect her more.  Instead, you think of it as something negative.  So very odd.  

    So to be clear, you were with the Democrats, Dixie Chicks and the Peaceniks back in 2003 and against the war, correct?  
    So voting for a fake witch hunt means you have principles huh? Boy did I learn something today. Thank you! 
    Your comments justify what I've concluded about the left since Trump took office. "The end justifies the means" No matter how we do it (legally or illegally) we must do it. No thanks! 
    Fake witch hunt?  I'm sorry, are you saying the Capital wasn't stormed and breached?  ARe you saying it wasn't MAGA people that did it?  Should I believe you or my lying eyes?

    Did you support the Iraq war or not in 2003?
    There is evidence that the Capital was a false flag event. Sure there were some idiots in the crowd such as antifia and other mentally handicapped people that did crazy things but there were also undercover FBI agents as well as operatives such as Wray EPPs to promote the event and let people in to the capital. Not to mention Pelosi not allowing the National Guard to be present. They also won't release 14,000 hours of security video footage for whatever reason??? 

    Whatever your opinions are at the end of the day trump was on record as saying " Go to the Capital to Peacefully protest". It doesn't matter if he was saying under his breathe that we should go to the Capital and kill them all. He never alluded to that. 

    As far as the Irag war went I supported going over there and rooting out the Al Quida training camps but not occupying the place for 20 years. 
    WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK. 
    Careful Hugh. Your starting to sound like Biden. 
    careful TJ. "Your" starting to spell like a republican.

    listen to yourself. if any democrat had done anything anywhere near what Trump did to provoke either impeachment, you'd be calling for the gallows. 

    I mean, most of you want Biden to be booted from office because his son has drug problems and he lost a laptop. ffs
    I think if that was Don Jr's laptop from hell Pearl Jam.com would need to buy another server to host the amount of rage you guys would be spewing over it. You would be scorched earth mad. It is well documented that by covering up the laptop story by the media and big tech right before the election that it kept a lot of independents from turning on Biden and voting for Trump. Now that what I call election interference. 

    Now that the useful idiot Biden has shown that he can no longer put 2 coherent sentences together and chew gum at the same time the media have decided to talk about Hunter.  
    man you must be big mad with all of this positive biden news lately. the guy who can't string to sentences together is getting some stuff done.

    For those repubs or repub leaning indies, how do you feel about Deathsantis’s requirement that the press share their footage of his rally for the PA senate candidate shared with a POOTWH youth group (can we call them Brown Shirts or are you not ready for that just yet?) and explain how the footage will be used as a requirement of covering the event?

    Seems Deathsantis has taken a page from the Shrub/Darth Cheney playbook but slightly adjusted. So how do you feel about that? What do you think it means for the constitution and democracy in ‘Murica? You okay with it?

    I’m genuinely interested in your thoughts but don’t expect an honest response, if any.

    And for those of you who think POOTWH can’t rise again or that the worst outcome is a civil war, you really should pay better attention and not be so dismissive.

    running for Senate in Ohio....


     
    Vance's anti-drug charity enlisted doctor echoing Big Pharma
    By JULIE CARR SMYTH
    Today

    COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — When JD Vance founded “Our Ohio Renewal” a day after the 2016 presidential election, he promoted the charity as a vehicle for helping solve the scourge of opioid addiction that he had lamented in “Hillbilly Elegy,” his bestselling memoir.

    But Vance shuttered the nonprofit last year and its foundation in May, shortly after clinching the state's Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, according to state records reviewed by The Associated Press. An AP review found that the charity's most notable accomplishment — sending an addiction specialist to Ohio’s Appalachian region for a yearlong residency — was tainted by ties among the doctor, the institute that employed her and Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of OxyContin.

    The mothballing of Our Ohio Renewal and its dearth of tangible success raise questions about Vance’s management of the organization. His decision to bring on Dr. Sally Satel is drawing particular scrutiny. She's an American Enterprise Institute resident scholar whose writings questioning the role of prescription painkillers in the national opioid crisis were published in The New York Times and elsewhere before she began the residency in the fall of 2018.


    continues.....

    It's not just Liz Cheney...she's high-profile but MAGA is turning on anyone that doesn't show 100% fealty in ways that seem even amazing for them. They're down on Dan Crenshaw and Moscow Mitch McConnell (the person most responsible for everything they're so happy about right now and for the possible Trump Dynasty). It's not just the Kinzinger types anymore. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just seems different...like they've already owned the libs and it's time to go all-in on loyalty tests. On one hand, it feels like a key step toward their goal of authoritarianism. On the other hand, there's no question that America First hates the majority of Americans and they're either 1) confident that they have full control of elections in enough states or 2) they're really playing with fire on having a critical mass to get that full control of the country.

    Speaking of dumpster fires, WaPo’s top 10. Or is it bottom 10? But hey, that’s a talented roster.

    10. Donald Trump Jr.: As we’ve said before, this applies only to a scenario in which his father doesn’t run. But that’s a scenario in which some polls show him running as high as second (with the caveat that we don’t have a lot of good polling). He’d clearly have a base to work with, but capitalizing on that is another matter. And it’s not just about lobbing bombs from the sideline, which is his true talent. (Previous ranking: 7)

    9. Mike Pompeo: The former secretary of state returns to this list, showing all the signs of a guy who will run. Those include running digital ads in Iowa and South Carolina. Also worth watching: He recently became one of the highest-profile Trump officials to testify to the Jan. 6 committee. And afterward, he seemed to temper his denial about having discussed removing Trump from office using the 25th Amendment, saying merely that it hadn’t been discussed “seriously.” It’ll sure be interesting to see how Trump backers respond to whatever testimony Pompeo provided. (Previous ranking: N/A)

    8. Rick Scott: The senator from Florida is often dismissed because of his awkward personal style. But he’s been positioning himself for the national stage by launching his own platform (which Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has distanced himself from). And if Republicans can win back the Senate, perhaps Scott gets some credit as head of the Senate GOP’s campaign arm? That’s a double-edged sword though, given it’s quite possible Republicans blow a good opportunity. (Previous ranking: N/A)

    7. Nikki Haley: The former United Nations ambassador and South Carolina governor is a real contender on paper. She’s also leaning hard into the idea that she’ll run, having repeatedly cited the idea of electing a woman as president. (You’ll notice she’s the only woman on this list.) But races aren’t won on paper. Haley often disappears from the national discourse, and it’s still not clear what her campaign would be about. (Previous ranking: 4)

    6. Ted Cruz: The senator from Texas has been out front in criticizing the FBI’s search of Trump, including an early push for the search warrant. He has also floated impeaching Attorney General Merrick Garland and the FBI agents had been turned into “stormtroopers.” (Previous ranking: 6)

    5. Glenn Youngkin: It still seems like a bit of a stretch for someone to launch a presidential campaign just a year into his one term as governor. (Virginia doesn’t allow governors to seek reelection). But he’s clearly putting himself in the mix, and 2022 could play into his hands. Imagine a world in which flawed candidates cost the GOP winnable races — and possibly the Senate — in states like Arizona, Georgia, Ohio or Pennsylvania. At that point, the guy whose 2021 win was supposed to be a road map for the party — a road map disregarded in these Senate primaries — might look pretty attractive. (Previous ranking: 8)

    4. Tim Scott: The senator from South Carolina has faced some criticism from the right for his endorsement of moderate Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska). But if anyone can get past that kind of thing, it might be the broadly liked South Carolina senator. He’s also raising massive sums — $9.6 million last quarter — for what should be an easy reelection bid, and he can use that money to run for president. Scott’s recently published book included a blurb that said he was preparing a presidential run, but the publisher later said it was an error and that Scott hadn’t approved the line. (Previous ranking: 5)

    3. Mike Pence: Pence offered some interesting comments this week, opening the door to testifying to the Jan. 6 committee and saying, “The American people have a right to know what happened.” He has walked a fine line on criticizing Trump for that day, despite the insurrectionists endangering his life. We shouldn’t expect him to thoroughly denounce the man who picked him as vice president, but he’s certainly got a vested interest in the party moving in a different direction. The hard part is facilitating that without completely alienating the Trump backers he’d need in 2024. (Previous ranking: 3)

    2. Donald Trump: See above. (Previous ranking: 1)

    1. Ron DeSantis: See above. (Previous ranking: 2)

      It’s a rip-off’: GOP spending under fire as Senate hopefuls seek rescue
    By Isaac Arnsdorf
    August 20, 2022 at 0:07 ET
    Republican Senate hopefuls are getting crushed on airwaves across the country while their national campaign fund is pulling ads and running low on cash — leading some campaign advisers to ask where all the money went and to demand an audit of the committee’s finances, according to Republican strategists involved in the discussions.
    In a highly unusual move, the National Republican Senatorial Committee this week canceled bookings worth about $10 million, including in the critical states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Arizona. A spokesman said the NRSC is not abandoning those races but prioritizing ad spots that are shared with campaigns and benefit from discounted rates. Still, the cancellations forfeit cheaper prices that came from booking early, and better budgeting could have covered both.
    “The fact that they canceled these reservations was a huge problem — you can’t get them back,” said one Senate Republican strategist, who like others spokes on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters. “You can’t win elections if you don’t have money to run ads.”

    “The Woke Dumpsters Fire” will not be included.

    Can anyone, any one at all, anyone, articulate the repub vision for ‘Murica? Anyone?

    1.  Reinstate Trump as president after the election was stolen by the democrats.
    2.  Defeat the Deep State
    3.  Suppress women and minorities.
    4.  Ban all abortions for any reason forever.
    5.  Restore illegality of all non-heterosexual relationships and apply sever punishment to those who disobey.
    6.  Shut down all organizations that promote the idea of global warming, especially the false notion of anthropogenic global warming.
    7.  Etc.

    Only I don't think this is so much a "vision" as it is delusion.

    Board: SD Gov. Kristi Noem may have 'engaged in misconduct’
    By STEPHEN GROVES
    2 hours ago

    SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A South Dakota ethics board on Monday said it found sufficient information that Gov. Kristi Noem may have “engaged in misconduct” when she intervened in her daughter’s application for a real estate appraiser license, and it referred a separate complaint over her state airplane use to the state's attorney general for investigation.

    The three retired judges on the Government Accountability Board determined that “appropriate action” could be taken against Noem for her role in her daughter's appraiser licensure, though it didn't specify the action.

    The board’s moves potentially escalate the ramifications of investigations into Noem. The Republican governor faces reelection this year and has also positioned herself as an aspirant to the White House in 2024. She is under scrutiny from the board after Jason Ravnsborg, the state’s former Republican attorney general, filed complaints that stemmed from media reports on Noem’s actions in office. She has denied any wrongdoing.

    After meeting in a closed-door session for one hour Monday, the board voted unanimously to invoke procedures that allow for a contested case hearing to give Noem a chance to publicly defend herself against allegations of “misconduct” related to “conflicts of interest” and “malfeasance.” The board also dismissed Ravnsborg's allegations that Noem misused state funds in the episode.

    However, the retired judges left it unclear how they will proceed. Lori Wilbur, the board chair, said the complaint was “partially dismissed and partially closed,” but added that the complaint could be reopened. She declined to discuss what would cause the board to reopen the complaint.

    The board can issue a public or private reprimand or direct an official to do community service. It can also make recommendations to the governor — though that option seems unlikely since the complaints are leveled against Noem.

    The AP first reported that the governor took a hands-on role in a state agency soon after it had moved to deny her daughter’s application for an appraiser license in 2020. Noem had called a meeting with her daughter, the labor secretary and the then-director of the appraiser certification program where a plan was discussed to give the governor’s daughter, Kassidy Peters, another chance to show she could meet federal standards in her appraiser work.

    The complaints are proving to be the first major test of the board, which was launched in 2017 in response to several scandals in state government. It has never taken public action against a state official.
