Overthrowing Trumpist fascism is the primary goal today. We can battle over policy, politics and everything else once our democracy is preserved. Any enemy of Trump is a friend of mine....today.

He's a war criminal and a disgusting human being.

I don't care that his daughter is standing up for our country. Good for her. The rest of her policies suck.

Her father famously told a congressman to go fuck himself on the floor of the House. That says everything we need to know about that criminal. He simply wants to maintain the status quo since that's how he makes his money. He doesn't give a dman about democracy. Want proof? Look at the election in Florida in 2000. Look at his record as Vice President. He's almost as big a problem as Trump.

I'm sick of seeing "good democrats" praising him and his spawn.

The tRump crazies are simply in the way of the entrenched establishment that the Cheney cabal controls. They prefer to work "in the shadows, if you will". They are seeing the fascists use the loons to take control. That's all there is to it.

They are coincidentally on the same side as us on this one single issue and when it's resolved, they'll resume stabing everyone else in the back.

That killed thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and cost taxpayers trillions of dollars…

you know the Republican Party is no longer a political party, even a shitty one, but just a dead-ender personality cult populated by cowards, sycophants and all-around shitty people. It's tough to be shittier than Dick Cheney, but they've managed to do it.

sending them to war based on lies. The fact that they were the only ones does however, prove how bloody chicken shit the GOP are. Every fucking one of them.

I heard Karl Rove, an original overthrow Obama scammer, taking it to these repubs. But then you have the Lindsay Graham comment after Biden speech. Trump needs to be force fed Ivermectin to kill all the parasites up his ass. That is the only way to destroy this faction of GQP. Destroy all his parasitic army of treasonous Liars. Totally eliminate every last one of them, maybe even deport them all to there homeland. Putin’s theme Park. Or the Saudi sand box.

can't imagine he was going to let his daughter stand alone. I've also though he would wreak his revenge somehow. He is, after all, Dick Cheney.

and war criminal. At this moment in our history when our country faces the very real threat of losing it's democracy to a despotic carnival barker and corrupted political party, we may need to reconsider help once beyond acceptable. It is much more difficult for the GOP traitors and propagandists to smear any truths the likes of Cheney might say in support of his country's democracy. Just a thought prompted by the gravity of the situation.

to get the sulfur smell out.

I got to walk on the House floor, Jack Murtha gave me a tour. He would have made great House whip. They killed him, I mean he died having routine gall bladder surgery, someone nicked an artery. He was a marine vet opposed to the Iraq war, Cheney's worst nightmare. Dick Cheney.
