Comments by "desertmoon" (@71suns) on "GOP Could Have Avoided Speakership DUMPSTER FIRE if They'd Listened to Liz Cheney | Charlie's Shots" video.
Just recently I watched an interview with her at the Kennedy Center..and the thing that gave me pause in her remarks was that she voted against the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Liz Cheney is an ultra conservative Republican. Her political views and affiliations haven't changed. She loves her country and holds fast to our Constitution...and is committed to our democracy. With that being said... it's important for all of to think about what we not only want our country to be as we move forward..but what we NEED it to be. What we want and need our government to reflect, to stand up for. There are human rights principles that NEED TO APPLY TO EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN IN THE US WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Republicans are opposed to that. That's just the truth. There's no 'kinder-gentler' Republicans in the Republican party... and there hasn't been for ENDLESS DECADES if there ever was at all.

Agree. ANYONE with integrity in Congress SHOULD HAVE STOOD UP. PERIOD. The endless games of Washington DC WallStreet Inc POLITICAL players NEEDS TO END. ENOUGH.

@jdemd1977 Yes. That's notable.

@S.L.S-407 Endless decades ago.

Unfortunately the two things you've listed are the ONLY THINGS notable about their political ideology.

Obsessed with imagining everyone else is singularly fixated on an abbreviated appendage? We're not. Got it?

What is it with guys obsessed with their abbreviated appendage and having to refer to it continuously? For pity sake...

I'm still waiting for ANY media to investigate why Jared Kushner, the former Apprentice TV-show-host 'president' son-in-law walked away from 4 years in the White House 164 million dollars richer and then six months later was 'gifted' 2 billion dollars from the Saudi government. 'Puzzling' isn't it. 😏

I'm concerned about that too.

Precisely. A six-figure taxpayer-provided salary benefits package travel expenses and retirement pension PLUS a $78 a day 'meal allowance' for 'working' 146.7 days out of the year. Think about it. Think about how many Americans struggle on an ongoing basis as a result of the decisions of these incompetent, self-serving, self-enriching, belligerent DO-NOTHING know-nothings. Disgusting.

The Maga Insurrectionist Party formerly known as the GOP are not reachable. They've given themselves over willingly to deception and embraced it.

Thank you. Well said and true. This is the bottom line in regard to the Republican party. They haven't done anything to improve the lives of the American people FOR ENDLESS DECADES. NOTHING WHATSOEVER. They sold themselves to the highest bidder years and years and years ago. I know...I'm old. I remember. Their policies are self-serving, self-enriching, and the antithesis of the will and priorities of the majority of the American people.

Thank you. Have you ever noticed those with the loudest voices about 'shrinking government' have ONLY WORKED in government their entire lives. They been and CONTINUE TO suck off the teat they're alleging needs to shrink...as long as it doesn't affect their own VERY LUCRATIVE INCOME SOURCE.

Even if you use all caps...TRUMP LOST the 2020 election. He was rejected by the majority of the American people for a second term in office. If you need a 'DADDY' look elsewhere. Donald Trump isn't it.

Voting with Donald Trump 99% of the time is NOTHING to boast about for pity sake. Are you kidding me. Can you not see how utterly sick the Republicans are?

Congress is and has been manipulated and pressured FOR YEARS by AIPAC. When AIPAC 'comes to town' EVERYONE IN CONGRESS IS REQUIRED TO BE PRESENT! Interesting isn't it.

I'm pretty sure that's how it would go.

I'm grateful for her willingness to speak the truth loudly to the members of her party and those who CONTINUE TO BE her colleagues. Liz Cheney hasn't changed her ultra conservative policy and political beliefs. She's still a Reagan Republican and all the shape-shifting rhetoric imbedded in it. The truth of it is the Republican party hasn't done anything to improve the lives of the American people FOR ENDLESS DECADES... even further back than Reagan. Nothing whatsoever. Their political policies are the antithesis of the will and priorities of the majority of the American people. That's part of the reason their party won't survive. That's why it's collapsing.

Did your own dad ever lie about anything? Are you responsible for that? Are you a mirror image of your dad?

The Republicans are not redeemable. Even if she was the speaker Trump is blathering away in the background moving the mouths and votes of his pathetic, conniving, marionettes doing his bidding. Liz Cheney is pragmatic in her approach but it's unlikely EVEN SHE could corral the insanity that her party in Congress has devolved into.
