Liz Cheney (R-WY) saying the United States is “electing idiots” while speaking Monday night at an event in New York City’s Center for Culture and Arts. Co-host Phil Mattingly said, “Liz Cheney spoke last night. She is always so subtle. I want you to take a listen to something she said.”Cheney said, “What we’ve done in our politics is create a situation where we’re electing idiots. And so, I don’t look at it through the lens of, is this what I should do or what I shouldn’t do.

"I look at it through the lens of, how do we elect serious people?" I have an idea. How about Dems take responsibility for funding the Trump/Russia Hoax, and distance themselves from the liars who came up with the idea of using our government institutions and the MSM to promote their anti-Trump, anti-American citizen propaganda? Donald Trump was more serious than any president in decades about restoring power and prosperity to where it belongs...To the American People. He was serious about reigning in Chinese ambitions to overtake the US economy and serious about returning power to the PEOPLE, by supporting government of, by and for American citizens. Serious politicians understand and approve of American citizens as the only people who can legally vote in a presidential election. He wasn't interested in empowering globalist billionaires, communism, Marxism, socialism, NGOs. He opposed imported poverty and ungrateful, uneducated "migrants" who come to the US to take advantage of Democrat wealth redistribution schemes that leave American families poorer. Serious politicians don't approve of what Biden has done to the United States and the American people, but Joe Biden, Democrats, and RINO Republicans are got just what they wanted. An mentally and physically deteriorating "president" who somehow got "more votes than any presidential candidate in American history." Serious people have a problem believing a serious candidate just "accidentally" screwed up as badly as Biden has.

A lot of this is due to the blatant lies of the Leftist Media. Consider.... check the ABC website..... Not a PEEP about the Durham report, Durham's testimony to Congress, or Hunter Biden's web of filth. People who get their news from the evening TV networks are getting one-sided Leftist Propaganda. From what I have seen over the last decade or two (I turned them off when I learned about sites like Lucianne, but I still get exposed to them every now and then) they follow at least two of Joseph Goebbel's stated principals: -"Accuse your opponent of doing what you are actually doing" .... example, the 'Rats calling the Conservatives "a threat to democracy". -"Tell a lie often enough and long enough, and people will believe it as the truth.".... example, the 'Anthropogenic Climate Disruption' hoax. If ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/NPR/MSNBC/NYSlymes were honest, we would have a significantly better set of people in all elected offices. Unfortunately for our beloved America, all these groups were targeted by and taken over by the Communists years ago.

Why oh why oh why do they keep quoting absolute failures like Cheney after she lost her own primary? She was flat out strongly rejected by her own constituents. That's about the biggest loser thing possible for a politician to suffer. The vote wasn't even close. She was demolished. Liz, take the hint. Go away.

You know what is sad about all of this? Washington DC is representative of leadership in the United States whether it is the President, Congress, the Judicial branch, or whatever. Currently, the leadership we have doesn't even come close to mature, effective, or responsible. Yes, there are a few good ones but emphasis is on few. Liz Cheney does not fall into one of few good ones. . .

Ah, but for the good 'Ole days when The Party was just functionaries in the party itself, a wealthy donor class, career politicians, and elitist opinion writers wearing bow ties [sigh]. And every two years, the voters would show up to dutifully vote for the Bush, or McCain, or Romney that Donor Class and bow tie wearers made sure was the only alternative available to us over the freak show of the Left. And we would vote, then nicely go back to watching football.

An added comment. The elitism drips from the Cheney family and also with the Bush-Cheney administration. They sure wanted the conservative vote but once in, they became snobby. When Dick Cheney made the comment in defense of illegal immigrants about average Americans not willing to do the work, I realized how superior he thought he was and Bushes are no different. They never negated his response. Quite honestly, there are only a few respectable people in government but they have all become snobby and elitists. They make more money than deserved for the results we have been seeing and have forgotten how to lead. They lead by serving themselves. So, yeah, Liz, the comment about electing idiots is a self assessment.

In the 2022 Wyoming primary, there was significant democrat crossover. Cheney still lost 66-29. Among GOP voters, Harriet Hageman trounced Cheney by at least 3-1. Cheney is persona non grata in 22 out of 23 Wyoming counties. The exception is elitist enclave, Teton County.

Democrats Don’t Care About Democracy 0 replies
Posted by Imright 7/1/2023 10:18:34 AM Post Reply
Since the election of Donald Trump in 2016, Democrats and their media lackeys have crafted a narrative that they, and only they, are defenders of democracy against encroaching fascism, authoritarianism, and institutional racism. They have also complained about the anti-institutionalism of “MAGA Republicans” who supposedly threaten America’s institutions and rule of law. Of course, this is a big lie considering the constant demeaning of the Supreme Court as “illegitimate” and “not normal.” To Democrats, democracy means getting everything they want and making sure conservatives, Republicans, and especially Christians never get anything they want. Democracy is simply a magical abracadabra word, having now taken on sacred and mystical feeling, to be

While at least 23 instances of evidence directly contradict his claims, including but not limited to photos, texts, an audio recording, and IRS and former business partner whistleblower testimonies, Joe Biden remains steadfast in insisting that many established facts do not mean he was somehow involved in the family’s overseas business.The list of denials begins in 2019 when he ran for president.

In the first, Department of Education v.

(Video) It was a great week for America on the eve of her 247th birthday. The Supreme Court ruled that so-called elite universities could no longer treat vulnerable and historically marginalized Asian students like second-class citizens. The 6-3 decision was a victory for the vast majority of Americans who oppose race-based affirmative action in college admissions. Alas, it was not a good week for President Joe Biden, a supporter of anti-Asian discrimination. The high court concurred with Nancy Pelosi's assessment that Biden lacked the authority to cancel student debt without the consent of Congress, and the president's staff once again failed to prevent him from opening his mouth in public.

WASHINGTON − President Joe Biden plans to announce "new actions to protect student loan borrowers," the White House said Friday, after the Supreme Court overturned his signature program to eliminate up to $20,000 in student loan debt for millions of Americans.

"While we strongly disagree with the court, we prepared for this scenario. The president will have more to say today," a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said.

The Supreme Court ruled President Joe Biden can't wipe away or reduce student loans held by millions of Americans. In a 6-3 decision, the high court's conservative justices agreed with the suing states that the HEROES Act does not authorize Biden's debt forgiveness plan. At issue was whether the administration had authority to broadly cancel federal student loans because of the COVID-19 emergency.
