I have had people tear my ass up on multiple occasions for trying to remind people that Liz Cheneys anti-trump performance does not, in fact, make her a good person.
That she is still, at her core, a republican piece of shit.. and her saying one thing that I agree with (That Trumps a threat) does not make her a good person.
I am 100% not surprised that she secretly tried to protect one of Trumps biggest anchors on the supreme court, who is vital for their 2025 goals and seizing of power.
Because she, like all republicans, are performative assholes who say whatever they think will get them more support and power.
I respect her for calling bullshit on trump, but yeah. that's like one point against many hundreds of others.. Now, if she takes trump to a pheasant hunt... welllllll we can discuss that after....
"I really think we should listen to what Jeremy has to say. Sure, he gets drunk and challenges children to fight him at the playground, and yes he might be a tiny bit of an arsonist, and if you're gonna nitpick then yes he stomps on pigeons in the park, but you don't understand! I saw him accidentally knock over an old lady the other day and he apologized! Not only that, he made sure she was okay! I think he's truly reformed and we should trust him now."
Also, I get why you said "pheasant" hunt and thought that was hilarious, but c'mon... If there were ever a time to bring up duck hunting, shouldn't it be now by the infamous @FuglyDuck@lemmy.world?
I don't want to get shot at... and these people might get the wrong idea.
in any case... yes. that's exactly what I mean. She did one right thing. that doesn't make up for all the shitty crap also does.
(for those wondering... her father went to an organized pheasant hunt, as VP, and accidentally wound up shooting one of his security detail in the face. It was "just" birdshot, so he didn't die or anything. those sorts of events should be banned, though. Basically, they capture a shitload of pheasants, stage them in a space that's "safe" to shoot at them... then scare them up so they fly over as rich fucks shoot at them. What probably happened is he got target fixation while the bird flew in a path that... well... ooooppsssies)
I'm pretty sure it was a quail/dove shoot. It stood out for me because there aren't many parts of the country where dove hunting is a thing. But Texas? You bet!
Wait wait wait, now you're just bungling the story tooooo much.
You forgot the best part of the whole "ooooppsssies":
The fucking lawyer later went on tv TO APOLOGIZE TO DICK CHENEY FOR HIS BAD PUBLICITY DUE TO GETTING SHOT IN THE FACE
Onion timeline onion timeline
This is the funniest thing I'm going to read all year holy shit
Seconded. I like to remind people that while in office, she voted with Trump over 92% of the time.
Republicans like her, and Mitt, are only opposing Trump because he's come in and snatched up everything they and their dynasties have been trying to take for themselves for decades.
Either that, or they are trying to position themselves in a power position post-trump.
Oh, she's definitely not a lovely person politically, she wants the gop to run things but just doesn't want fascists to run the gop and do away with democracy.
Currently it's just an alliance of convenience, much like how we allied with Stalin in WW2. We can go back to fighting with conservatives after the fascist wannabes are beaten in the upcoming election. First things first, priorities are important.
Well said. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Or as that war criminal Henry Kissinger said, "there are no allies, only temporarily-shared interests."
