Former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., a once-rising star in the GOP who fell out with her party over her criticism of Donald Trump, slammed the former president as an “unrecoverable catastrophe” in her call for other Republicans to vote against him this year.

“We see it on a daily basis, somebody who was willing to use violence in order to attempt to seize power, to stay in power, someone who represents unrecoverable catastrophe, frankly, in my view, and we have to do everything possible to ensure that he’s not reelected,” Cheney told “This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl.

      You most likely agree with two separate Cheneys, fucking gross dude, go wash your life away.

    He is the Chernobyl of men. He needs to be contained in a thousand-ton sarcophagus to protect future generations. Vote Harris/Walz/sarcophagus 2024.

    I’ll take any help that saves democracy at this point. Every bit helps, one step at a time. Get rid of MAGA FIRST. You take the bus that gets you closest to your destination.

      Or you burn down all buses that lead to massive oppression and set themselves as your enemies by taking you towards genocide, border violence, police funding and massive military imperialism.

    Yeah! Only the Cheney’s should be able to financially cripple middle and lower class America while making themselves rich. Policy-wise she backs pretty much everything Trump wants. She just doesn’t like him being the one to do it because he makes Republicans look bad

      I probably don’t agree with her on a LOT. But I still respect her for having the balls to stand up to Trump and his MAGA cult and call them out for being a danger to democracy. All the other Republicans are a bunch of lil bitches willing to go along with fascism in exchange for tax cuts.

        I have zero respect for a daughter who follows in her war criminal fathers footsteps. Trump is the DIRECT result of the RNC. He’s their bigotry, lies, and ignorance congealed into human form. He’s just Reagan but a worse liar and less competent. He’s all the racism and homophobia without the subtly. She doesn’t deserve your respect because if she was president she’d essentially do everything Trump has pushed. Even the danger to democracy isn’t new. Republicans created the war on drugs to cause mass incarceration to keep certain groups from voting and jail undesirables.

        Fascism in exchange for tax cuts has been the Republican motto for 60 years and she’s been a willing participant. She’s no different from the rest of the leopards ate my face crowd. Ousted by what she helped create. Fuck her

          Then you are politically stupid.

          The neocons losing power in the Republican Base represent a distinct advantage to your cause. Curry some temporary favor from the Neocons so that they elect Kamala this cycle.

          That’s all the Neocons want right now. For Trump to lose this year.


          Politics isn’t about the purity of your ideology, but instead about how many votes you can get. Each Neocon voting for Kamala is like gaining two votes: because they are the kind of people who would have otherwise solidly voted Republican this cycle.

            Calling them out on their bullshit and taking their vote are not mutually exclusive. I don’t have to kiss your ass because we need you to fix what you fucked up in the first place.

              Fucked up?

              It wasn’t the Neocons (Bush, Cheney, McCain) who brought us into this Trump mess.
