I’ll never understand why Democrats love rewarding failure so much. The bad man just won another term, and Harris parading with Liz is definitely part of the reason why!
Some context 👉 Liz Cheney was awarded for her work on the Jan. 6 Committee, which involved losing her leadership position in the Repub. party to investigate Trump’s attempted coup and publicize the findings to the American people.
It’s meant to strengthen the idea of putting country before party.
I love what he did there. She was just going to accept it and be done, but Joe was like, hell no, you deserve this, hear them applaud you, see them stand for you. He knows what she did.
Why did she seem so hesitant? It is like she just rolled her eyes and wanted to get off the stage asap. Take your bow even from your father's political enemy. 😜
Why? because of support for the Obama birther thing? Or tax cuts for the wealthy? Or opposition to Gay rights & distancing from her sister? or her anti-choice efforts? Denying blk & brn ppl a fair shake and workers the right to a union/a decent wage. Anti-Trump is necessary, but not sufficient.
It makes me sick seeing everyone applied for her. She supported 96% of everything Trump did.
She’s horrible. Absolutely horrible and we all know she voted for Trump.
Thank you, President Biden. And a big thank you to Liz Cheney, Bennie Thompson and all of the others who put country above party and did the right thing.
And shame on those who didn’t have the backbone to hold the responsible party accountable for the treasonous acts that he perpetrated.
This Is Well Deserved,🏅Since They Had The Courage To Stand Up For The Truth!
I Wish Merrick G Was Able To Get Donnie's Cases Expedited So That He Wasn't Able To Dodge Accountability, But Nonetheless This Is A Great Honor To Be Bestowed To Them. 👍
People are posting this like she actually deserves this. If the rest of republicans weren’t so, so shitty, she wouldn’t be getting any award. I wish those in political office would raise the fucking bar because this is a joke.
She does 'ACTUALLY' deserve this. She lost her job, her position in Congress, and she received daily death threats to her and her family. This is exactly WHY she deserves this award. YOU try going through what she did and see if it's easy being threatened every day and needing 24/7 security
She did the right thing. That is all. If more Americans demanded more of the politicians they send to Washington, this wouldn’t be such a big deal. It would be what is expected. Also, does this erase all of the lies and gaslighting from Cheney. Look at the big picture. Not one act.
No my friends, your may not agree with on anything, but what she did was the PATRIOTIC thing to do. If all the other republicans did the same , we wouldn’t have tp back again. To fuck things up , again!
#LizCheney is a True American Hero! She always put Country over Self 🇺🇸 and she spoke Truth to the lying insurrectionist DonaldTrump! Liz Cheney is a real Profile of Courage! 💙💙💙
Idk how anyone who calls themselves even remotely left leaning looks at this party and doesn’t actively pray they collapse or completely change leadership in the very near future
I never agreed with many of the things she stood for, but by the gods, I was proud as a brand-new daddy at the way she stood up for the Constitution and for honor and integrity in politics!
Then may those voters and Pundits burn in hell for what they did to this country. And any Dems voters who agree with pundits need to ask themselves if they aren't part of the problem for 40 years.
I noticed that - she looked like she didn't want to be there, and Biden had to hold her back from making a quick getaway. Not sure what that's about - maybe she just doesn't want to call attention to herself, or maybe she feels like she failed in her effort to make sure Trump doesn't get reelected.
Im sorry, but wtf is wrong with you? Yall are literally worse than maga..
THE MAN BETRAYED YOU OUR COUNTRY AND OUR DEMOCRACY. Soldiers have died for our democracy on battlefields for centuries all he had to do was retire to his oceanfront mansion mist despicable man in generations
Liz Chaney is Courageous and faithful to her oath of office and well deserving of the honor of "Putting the American People over Party" and being faithful to her Oath of Office.
For putting country first, which is what she swore an oath to do. Protect and defend the Constitution. Not kiss orange butt. It is well deserved, and I hope he issues her a peremptory pardon so Orange Foolius can't go after her for petty revenge.
She gets a medal for being against our democracy being destroyed. Damn her with the faintest of praise indeed. Do I get a medal because I didn't punch that grandmother crossing the street?
If this just doesn’t scream “hey us democrats want to be what the old Republican Party was.” Anything to curb progressive movements that would work against the interest of their donors so they can continue to rule over us as part of the elite class. Taxation without representation sound familiar?
AND BENNIE THOMPSON. All the attention on Liz Cheney, a Republican who supports everything in Project 2025 except the insurrection, and Democrats, who made the whole investigation possible, are ignored. Democrats are going to make Liz Cheney the first woman president.
Thank you Pres Biden, for rewarding Liz Cheney’s commitment to the Constitution and her courage to hold the guilty parties accountable for their treason!
I suppose the enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that implies, but Liz Cheney’s policies and politics were still horrible and we should not be celebrating them.
Nobody's celebrating her politics, just her work with the J6 committee, which was actually brave and principled. I wish we didn't live in a time where that's rare enough to need to be called out with a medal, but since we do...yeah, give her the medal.
I still don’t like it. Kamala leaned into her hard before the election like the support of a horrible conservative was supposed to impress progressives. Still honoring her because of one thing when the rest of her career was destructive? Nah.
🌟🌟🌟
What a patriotic woman!
I completely disagree with many of her policies, but she IS a true patriot, a fighter for the truth, accountability and democracy.
It's bittersweet watching her being honoured, when the weak men gathered around a felon.
How broken is America? One President wants to give Luz Cheney a medal and the other President wants to put her in jail for not sufficiently being a member of his cult.
Well deserved. Liz also deserved better than her own republican colleagues treated her. Sad that the GOP.... people that she had known for years retaliated against her just because she wouldn't kiss trump's ass.
This guy who literally looks like he is going in and out of consciousness, thought he was the best candidate to beat trump?no, actually he betrayed us and our democracy for his ego. Most despicable man in generations of american leadership
This woman did her job and we praise her for it..... JFC.... she's awful person. Harris lost partly due to skipping hand in hand with this woman..... 🤦♀️
I would be interested in seeing voter turnout stats on the military vote that back up your claim. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm not convinced military vote is in the millions strong that could swing an election.
If you're claiming the military is infected with MAGA and might do a coup for dear leader, I don't believe that. Not enough MAGA in the high brass where they would need to be. I think that is dead on arrival. Either way, Liz Cheney isn't going to stop them!
As a veteran, I was in the middle east in 2016 when Trump was first elected. The mess Hall was quiet, save for two supporters who were cheering. The remainder were just silently contemplating their work and what comes next. I would say most veterans are independent honestly.
We need to acknowledge that this strategy is an epic failure. Democrats lost to a convicted felon that among other things stole classified documents. They would rather lose chasing Republican votes than get labeled radical left by standing strong on an issue like universal health care.
It was a failure moderates are a bit of a problem (the biggest problem being trump/trump supporters) but at this point if we can show them they're still remediable even after being horrible then maybe that'll be good enough to survive what's coming.
Oh, MAGA going to be mad mad about this. Love it. She actually cares for the country, and isn't here for herself (despite the fact that I disagree on literal every other policy)
Hey, wake up the National Archivist and have the damned ERA PUBLISHED!m It's ready to go and has been for a long time!!
MTN...when is Popok going to talk about this? only 18 days to go!
You need someone who might win over a few Republicans and will stand up to Trump.
@adamkinzinger.bsky.social would do fine as well. Think of someone else… Mitt Romney.
I know they do not represent Dem values, but at least they will stand up to Trump and make his administration a lame duck!
Bullshit-she still voted with Trump almost all the time-has spouted lies about reproduction. Thanks for doing the right thing one time-but she is NOT ON DEMOCRATS SIDE!!
Not any speaker nominated by MAGA will be on Democrats side. If the Dems can get someone in to obstruct his debt ceiling rise. His tax break for the rich. Etcetc. It will destroy his ability to make America worse.
Times have changed. The speaker of the House is in control of the budget and what laws are being put to a vote. Obstruct and destruct Trump ability to govern.
Voting for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social for speaker is a lost vote. It is not about who you agree with, it is about inflicting maximum damage
So now, our government is so infantilized, that Congresspeople receive participation awards for doing their jobs and adhering to the oaths they've pledged to in order to have their jobs. OK.
When people do the right thing at significant cost to themselves (Cheney lost her seat and got a shit ton of threats over her role on the J6 committee), you reward that. If only to encourage other people to do the right thing in the future.
Her manner seems reticent, awkward; she seems to want to get out of there quickly. Of course, her political views are opposite of his, on most issues,(she voted with Trump on +90% of his policies), even so, her efforts to appear appreciative lack a certain 'je ne sais quoi'.
These two are great examples of what two functioning parties look like and how working together makes things happen.
United.Parties. of America.
Is it a thing of past idealism?
I wouldn’t say evil but just don’t agree with her on a lot of policies. Long for the day when we can agree to disagree again. She’s also changed her mind on abortion. She’s still pro life but feels the reversal endangered women
Actually her sister is gay. Not sure about the racist stuff. Again I don’t agree with 90+% of her positions but you have to admit it takes balls to stand up against her own party ans Trump.
Well deserved!!! When all other Republicans have lost their minds to keep power by following the orange buffoon, Liz Chaney stood on principle & integrity. Thank you Liz!

Congratulations, Liz. You did the bare minimum your job requires. Have a medal.
Shame on all of the Republicans that continue with this charade.
And I feel sad for the two that think it’s real (BoBo & Greene Spork) as their combined IQ is under 3 digits.
Heinz Catsup Bottles... Incoming!

Political opponents of decades congratulating each other over fighting, and failing, to stop the generational change happening.
It looked a little awkward up there, maybe photo pose issues, but she ended up with a standing ovation.
I hope it makes a difference as she holds on for the ride that's coming.

I don't have room to give a fuck about the supposed "good qualities" of a bigot - that alone is disqualifying
