That's why Cheney is important. She still believes in democracy, the Constitution, and the law.
You forgot profiting hugely from her position.
Nobody gets to make 36 million in six years in congress, unless taking bribes.
Her husband was running the show for GW, so yeah, we know he and she are R all the way, but always in it for themselves.
Haliburton built the Nubian aquifer project for Libya, knowing they'd be selling it to Evian when it was completed.
I'm not championing Cheney. I think she's nuts, but she still believes in Democracy, the legitimacy of the vote, the two-party system, and the Constitution and the law. All of these things are opposed by Trump and the extremist Republicans who are out to destroy the democracy and install a one party system.

Former Air Force linguist and NSA contractor Reality L. Winner made headlines in 2017 for her arrest on charges of leaking classified information to the media. After her case dragged on for more than year, Winner pleaded guilty and was handed the longest sentence ever on a civilian for releasing unauthorized government documents to the press. She was sentenced to five years and three months behind bars for releasing a classified report that alleged the Russian military "executed cyber espionage" against local U.S. election officials in 2016.
Why Trump-backed Truth Social still isn't available on Google's app store
[It] remains unavailable on Google's Android app store because of deficiencies in the app's content
moderation systems, according to a Google spokesperson.
The app favored by many of Trump's supporters still has not met the Google Play Store's standards,
including policies against incitement and physical threats of violence...
Trump is really losing it. He’s acting really crazy. Is he crazy because he really is truly losing his mind or has he pulled the final trick out of his grift bag, “Not fit to stand trial because of mental insanity?” He’s demanding a redo of the election even though he also says it was stolen from him and he’s still president.
The repugs are clinging to inflation as their winning issue for November. Mitch McConnell says a recession is now likely and vows the GOP will curb Biden’s spending if they are given power. He’s completely detached from reality even though he’s sane. The DOJ is investigating the former president for espionage. The country is in serious danger because Trump jeopardized our national security by selling information and Americans have no way of ever knowing just how much danger we’re in because everything is classified and the worst part is we don’t know if our defense and intelligence agencies have been infiltrated with traitors and spies that Trump brought in which will make it impossible to meet any threats. Congress is investigating Trump for an attempted coup and has uncovered traitors and criminals throughout the GOP. The Republican party has been taken over by fascists and all they’re going to talk about from now until November is inflation, wokeness and lesbian dance classes? McConnell has lost control of the Senate. Republicans are going to lose.
The FBI’s review of stolen documents at Mar-a-Lago is complete. Trump’s stupid lawyers waited too long to request a special master. Having a sympathetic Trump-appointed federal judge is no help to him now. She has bent over backwards to help him (she’s very young and inexperienced and has been a member of the Federalist Society since 2005) but she’s useless. She can go ahead and appoint a special master to audit the affidavit, but it won’t make a difference. He’s going to lose this case because he can’t get competent legal counsel. He’s fourth child (Tiffany) is an attorney and she won’t even help him.
Trump’s social media site, Truth Social (his surrogate Twitter account), is in more trouble. Not only is the board of directors being investigated, but it’s stiffing its contractors and headed for bankruptcy plus they can’t get a trademark because there are other Truth Social websites. He’s freaking out and melting down and posting crazy paranoid stuff.
Fox News’ Dinesh D’Souza, the white supremacist who isn’t white who served 8 months in jail for election fraud and was later pardoned by Trump, wrote a book that was turned into a documentary called, “2000 Mules” about election fraud in the 2020 election. Conspiracy theorists loved it. The publisher of the book has issued a full recall of the book because the election fraud premise of the book was bullshit.
480 Facebook and Instagram accounts, pages, and groups linked to the Proud Boys have been shut down.
Proud Boy Joshua Pruitt has been sentenced to 4 1/2 years in jail for his role in attacking the Capitol and targeting Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Trump’s top aide in the Secret Service, Tony Ornato has retired. He has not testified before the Select Committee like he said he would.
The FBI is investigating a 33 year old Russian speaking Ukrainian immigrant who got into Mar-a-Lago by pretending to be a rich heiress, Anna de Rothschild. People fell for it. She played golf with Trump and Lindsey Graham.
The Select Committee has received over 4,000 calls on their tip line since their first public hearing. They’re preparing for the last batch of public hearings. They should start up in a few weeks and be focused on who funded the insurrection. Their hearings about Trump trying to overtake the US government with a coup could be overshadowed by the FBI investigating Trump for being a spy.
Trump is now under investigation for tax fraud, election fraud, inciting an insurrection and attempting a coup, and espionage, and he’s the Republican frontrunner for 2024.
“Pathological narcissists can lose touch with reality in subtle ways that become extremely dangerous over time. When they can’t let go of their need to be admired or recognized, they have to bend or invent a reality in which they remain special despite all messages to the contrary.” — Bandy X Lee, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President
We’re way past Trump losing it because he lost the election and lost being special. We’re at the point now where he’s lost it because he’s in really big trouble for the first time in his life for the worst crimes of his life on top of nobody liking him anymore. He’s no good to anyone and can’t crime his way out of this. Game over.
