Definitely Liz Cheney. What a leader.

g23the1.bsky.social•154 days ago

I’d say it’s Baltimore’s Mayor Scott but that’s just my opinion. Liz helped get Trump elected again!

drtdlong.bsky.social•154 days ago

I have this crush on Liz…. She gives off that soccer mom milf vibe!!!

chahata-sia.bsky.social•154 days ago

At least we know Trumps weakness: a woman with standards.

jmr8675309.bsky.social•154 days ago

Kamala has gone quiet/MIA with no statements or public appearances. Is there no one to provide leadership in these dark times?

casualduchess.bsky.social•154 days ago

Biden is still the president & working hard to hinder Trumps agenda.

jmr8675309.bsky.social•154 days ago

Unfortunately in 55 days President Biden will shuffle off into retirement. What comes after that doesn’t bear much thinking about

jmr8675309.bsky.social•154 days ago

Thankfully.

jimoberst.bsky.social•154 days ago

we are in a LEGAL DEBATE
a 2002 document to congress that says all you need is a pulse to be in DC (no legal restriction like felony)

or

2006 DOJ memo that says "no felons" or at least type of felonies.

look them up

If 2006 wins Kamala wins if 2002 wins Trump wins

jackelon.bsky.social•154 days ago

Tnx to her daddy for the Tea party.

It all started there.

jach-imagine-jwl.bsky.social•154 days ago

Absolutely deserved. While I don’t align with her policies, I have immense respect for her prioritizing the country over party.

khapt.bsky.social•154 days ago

Very courageous woman!

nthbong.bsky.social•154 days ago

She has put a good foot forward to help counter the sins of her father, although his carnage should never be forgotten. Its hard to imagine that they are capable of communicating on a deeper level with one another

les1013.bsky.social•154 days ago

She deserves the Medal of Freedom

texascommonsense.bsky.social•154 days ago

Our most principled & courageous leader.

frequentbuyer1.bsky.social•154 days ago

I’ll forever be indebted to Liz Cheney for her courageous unwavering stand for America.

sburr741600.bsky.social•154 days ago

Holy shit. Really?

I struggle to applaud people for waking up one day and deciding to no longer be shitty people.

But yeah. Congrats.

ecitizen1.bsky.social•154 days ago

I believe Liz might be the ONLY Republican who is not a COWARD.

cbowdidge.bsky.social•154 days ago

Adam Kinzinger, too. All the Republicans who endorsed Kamala. Unfortunately, they're outcasts from the party

political-junkie.bsky.social•154 days ago

Well it sure isn’t GW Bush! That pansy in chief… mf

livinginarcata.bsky.social•154 days ago

We need to protect her. Donald Trump just declared war on the American people. He said he is going to use the military to control social disobedience. I hope you are in for a fight. Watch the movie Civil War if you have MAX. California will start and lead the western alliance.

ohdonpiano21.bsky.social•154 days ago

Ehhh fuck Liz Cheney too. Sure she's right about January 6 but otherwise she's pretty much trash on almost everything else.

pexsy.bsky.social•154 days ago

fair enough

whaazzz.bsky.social•154 days ago

She loss her election by 40 points, and begged democrats to bail her out but like kamala she failed.

reubencopley.bsky.social•154 days ago

Give me a break. Liz Cheney isn’t a paragon of virtue. She did the bare minimum after spending much of her time in government feeding the very people she now rails against.

gspiggott.bsky.social•154 days ago

So you just have no idea what happened.

Interesting.

adamkcpa.bsky.social•154 days ago

Too many people focus on trumps crazy behavior but should respond to the point he is playing too. I do wonder if too much of cheney turned off moderates as no one knows once elected if the going moderate was a head fake to win the election.

adamkcpa.bsky.social•154 days ago

Mostly true although I do think she should respond to the neocon arguments by mentioning that trump was for the Iraq war and even admit that there wrong about wmds. Some see cheney as loved wars even when they are not winnable or strategic to balance other evil powers ie Iran.

zubrin.bsky.social•154 days ago

Now she needs to call a founding convention of the Conservative Party.
Otherwise it’s all for nought.

ilyakuriyaken.bsky.social•154 days ago

No. There is zero reason to award anyone a prize for such a blatantly obvious decision. She voted with T’s agenda >90% of the time. She’s no prize.

neighborlee.bsky.social•154 days ago

Ty Liz 🩵🩵😎😎💯💯👍👍

jebaitedj.bsky.social•154 days ago

I feel like she helped Trump win.

munrog.bsky.social•153 days ago

I have great respect for her.

jana3943.bsky.social•154 days ago

💯👍

acsmom.bsky.social•154 days ago

But she has her dignity and I respect her for standing up to the truth.

shadowbox73.bsky.social•154 days ago

I didn’t know “Politician of the Year” was a thing. But ok. Liz Cheney is a good pic.

penlanddebbie.bsky.social•154 days ago

BAM 💥

nothingbutbluesky.bsky.social•154 days ago

That's terrific. Wish it were just a pic of her though, can't stomach a share.

cognitum.bsky.social•154 days ago

nafo4ever.bsky.social•154 days ago

She is a heroic woman.
She stood her ground against MAGA mobsters.

terisdemocracy.bsky.social•154 days ago

Well deserved.

terisdemocracy.bsky.social•154 days ago

This is exactly how politician should behave; country over party.

She has integrity, honor, and my respect.

suzyfoux.bsky.social•154 days ago

She had the rare courage to speak truth to power. I respect her integrity

mc1125.bsky.social•154 days ago

One hundred percent agree. She didn’t back down when she saw a wrong and did everything she could to right it. She is a true leader and we would be lucky to have her back in office some day.

pvansch1.bsky.social•154 days ago

We need more Liz Cheney's in our government - People with values, morals and principal.

jackiegardens.bsky.social•154 days ago

She stood up for the truth and never wavered

xqme2.bsky.social•154 days ago

you all forget mike pence, dude hiding somewhere

goldendoorlamp.bsky.social•154 days ago

Such a rare, rare woman in DC.

studentsdemocracy.bsky.social•154 days ago

yardgirl.bsky.social•154 days ago

jebaitedj.bsky.social•154 days ago

Joe Biden doesn't know where he is right now, let's be honest.

lanman.bsky.social•154 days ago

Liz is a hero.

arizonian.bsky.social•154 days ago

I never saw eye eye with Dick Cheney policies, but at least he was an honorable #American a real patriot like he taught his daughter to be. When you can put country over party, when morals still means something, when an individuals character still means something as a role model.

cbowdidge.bsky.social•154 days ago

She is a true patriot.

democracy77.bsky.social•154 days ago

Liz is right!

tomhaynie.bsky.social•154 days ago

You have to admire her standard of regard to our constitution. I do.

dajozz.bsky.social•154 days ago

From the Hill? Laughable... They don't give a shit about conservatism. They will bend in the wind to trump just like 90% of the media. Scared and perhaps right to be so. Good.... They made their bed

markjmal.bsky.social•154 days ago

I’m waiting for the new DOJ to go after her, pitchforks in hand.

aureliolimone.bsky.social•154 days ago

Liz Cheney for president!

donloewi.bsky.social•154 days ago

If it cost her friends to stand up against a narcissist and sociopath who loves cruelty those we're no friends.

sadmom.bsky.social•154 days ago

A good human and great American ❤️💙

daverensberger.bsky.social•154 days ago

Unfortunately we squandered all of her efforts by not bringing the traitor’s case to trial soon enough.

starrystarrynights.bsky.social•154 days ago

I feel so bad for her and how horrible they will make her life going forward.

sabigleyfla.bsky.social•154 days ago

Well earned and deserved

chago1944.bsky.social•154 days ago

Class act, not many left like her!

jim-davis.bsky.social•154 days ago

Standing ovation for Liz please; “I don’t care if you are a Democrat, Republican or independent, that is depravity, and we must never become numb to it.”

philbyjustaguy.bsky.social•154 days ago

Agreed 100 percent, takes guts to risk everything.

sb21312.bsky.social•154 days ago

She did The Right Thing.

peaksgoddess.bsky.social•154 days ago

I was never a Liz Cheney fan, but she earned my respect for putting her political career on the line with her work on the J6 committee and this election. She’s privy to a lot more info than we’ll ever know & she tried to sound the alarm!

jandjsmom.bsky.social•154 days ago

I may not agree with most of her conservative views but I have a great deal of admiration for her speaking out and putting democracy before her party.

kibsbobs.bsky.social•154 days ago

I disagree with her politically, but she sure has a spine. For that, I have great respect. Especially in a country like USA where you get so much hatred and problems for standing up. (Thank God it's not like that over here.)

citizen12345.bsky.social•154 days ago

Remember when we thought there’d be a bunch of Liz Cheneys during Trumps first term to stop the madness, but everyone ended up being a Matt Gaetz.
