Rep. Liz Cheney is in the national spotlight as one of the two Republicans on the House committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, but her involvement is doing her no favors as she seeks reelection back in Wyoming.
Reportedly trailing in the polls, Cheney came out swinging at the Wyoming Republican House debate on Thursday, telling her opponents and the crowd “the truth matters.”
Harriet Hageman, Former President Donald Trump‘s pick in the race, did not seem to agree. She refused to say the 2020 election was not stolen after Cheney challenged her on the issue.

Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
No surprise there, but what many observers were taken with was the general display of incompetence on the debate floor, with Cheney often appearing like the only adult on the stage.
A roundup of some of the evening’s more inept displays has since gone viral:
“This wasn’t SNL on a Thursday night,” tweeted The Republican Accountability Project. “This was Wyoming’s Republican primary debate.”

It was like a car wreck. and the worst part for her was that Cheney was to her right and always answered right after her

There is clearly one person on that stage that understands what’s going on in the world. And it’s sad that her own party is trying to take her down just because she said the Orange man is bad and acted on it. I hope that Wyoming does the right thing here.

Wyoming, I mean c’mon. You have a serious, patriotic leader in Cheney that’ll vote your will 99% of the time, yet you can’t get over her telling the truth about the election and Jan 6? Stop with the fealty to Trump. Show the world that rugged individualism that makes u who u are

Good lord, there’s one adult in the room Wyoming, and you better make her win the primary

Mister P
People of Wyoming. It is time to wake up. You are late for school.
Brian
Wyoming’s teachers, superintendents, and school boards are people like this. They deliberately raise more children to be just like this.

With a population 200,000 less than Washington, D.C. but gets to elect 2 senators, 1 U.S. congressman and 3 electoral votes.

The General Election will decide in November.
Were a Trumpist to be the GOP candidate, the odds of being beaten by a Democrat are higher.

Not going to happen in Wyoming, unfortunately. Some other states, yes. There, it’ll probably whoever has the R behind their name, even if it is a RepubliQanon.

So embarrassing with the exception of Liz Cheney.
buckhill2
OMG – are you sure that wasn’t SNL? All they needed was Tina Fey.
I may not agree with Liz Cheney on all topics, but I sure as heck respect her. I can work with mutual respect, honesty and compromise.
What has politics come to these days beside idiotic sound bytes getting thrown about with zero thought? The sad thing is, she won’t get re-elected. Stay tuned for how history books will spin all of this crap for future generations.
bachy
I find this all very sad. Unscrupulous cretins doing everything they can to flush our country down the toilet.

White people are fighting so hard to declare this is a white Christian country. Like it was 1950. By forming a cult with a leader who is a bumbling con-man. Who considers them low class nothings and wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire, but gladly takes all of thier $15 donations. It’s a dystopian nightmare. If Wyoming can’t see that they have a sane, patriotic American to vote for. Frankly f#ck them.
My2CentsWorth
Jack you are correct. Except the U. S. was not THAT Christian then, or before. Far too many bad people who pretended to be Christians without understanding any of the good (and not all is good) and not really caring.
Yes, they are being scammed by Trump and others. One outfit is sending out daily many spam emails. I may be getting 20 per day. Wish I could post a couple of them. These are fake claims that they are from Trump and the other disgusting people who side with him.
Some of them claim that donations will be matched. Not 1:1 or 1:2 but some claim matching 800% and more if the reader makes donations within a period of time.
Gotta be a scam and I suspect that the people who are behind it are getting very rich. The pleasing thing is that they are taking money from
The legal required included addresses seem to be mail drops. One is a UPS store which the people are leasing box, or boxes. I Googled map the two with street addresses and found out that physical sites were nothing but mail drops. I suspect that both the east coast and west coast sites are one scam outfit.

This is a sample of the copy. It is as crazy as anything Trump would write but it is obviously not from him. Its possible that all of this crap is being created by one person who is working full time (and, no doubt, making a lot of $$$ in the process).
==========================================
Friend,
Crazy Liz Cheney and Cryin’ Adam Kinzinger on the January 6th Unselect Committee are trying to destroy the lives of many wonderful people, including YOUR President. It can’t be allowed to happen.
The truth is, Loser Liz Cheney is a RINO and warmonger who doesn’t deserve to serve in the House of Representatives. She wants to put America LAST. She must be replaced IMMEDIATELY, and come November 8th, she will be.
Together, YOU and ME are the only ones who can SAVE AMERICA, Friend. I really need YOU to step up RIGHT NOW, so I’ve activated an EMERGENCY 600%-IMPACT for TODAY ONLY.
Please donate ANY AMOUNT IMMEDIATELY to stand with me against the Left’s partisan WITCH HUNT and your gift will be INCREASED by 600%. >>

Wyoming? Cutting your nose off to spite your face much>?

The reality is that this type of complete and utter idiocy and lunacy are not specific to Wyoming. About HALF of the US actually believes people like these morons and will vote for like-minded candidates. We surely have not seen the worst of it and the crisis will truly come during he next Presidential election, if not sooner.
Brian
A few years ago, I worked a guy who believed all sorts of conspiracies. He genuinely believed that some people are actually lizards wearing costumes. Eventually, our boss hired one of his best friends, and then the two of them would feed off each other and chatter away every day. I quit soon after because I couldn’t be around them anymore.

According to Gallup, Harriet Hageman is running 30 points ahead of Liz Cheney, the war monger and whose father – Dick Cheney – was the chief war monger during the Iraq War.
Harriet Hageman will win both the primary and the general election.
Bosch
Of course you take the side of the idiots when it’s republican Vs republican. How did you get so trashy? Were you a crack-baby?
Kangol2
The ENTIRE W Bush administration was full of warmongers. It wasn’t just Dick Cheney. W Bush himself proudly touted his military debacles! And you seem to have left out the other war George W Bush started, in Afghanistan, which turned into a disaster before he left office, like everything else he and the GQP touched. Warmongers to the nth!
Mario
Bosch:
Liz Cheney is the only idiot in this bunch. Anyone who destroys her own political future is truly a self-destructive dolt.
Mario
Kangol2:
“The ENTIRE W Bush administration was full of warmongers.”
I agree with you!
PinkoOfTheGange
I can’t find anything but a couple of internet polls that have that number. Care to provide your source?
Bosch
“Liz Cheney is the only idiot in this bunch”
The fact that you can look at those other two and not see that they’re idiots… Did you maybe use drugs when you were a teenager?

America has never been Christian. To qualify that statement I’m going to also claim since the establishment of the Roman Catholic religion the world for the most part have not been Christian. The people that masquerade as being Christian are the vocal in the spotlight Christians. The ones pointing out their “good deeds.” True Christians are the quiet ones giving to others, nurturing the lost souls. All the others are what have been called holiday and Sunday Christians. Spouting the words and making the appearances at the designated times but not practicing Christian values in their daily lives or hearts. Upon reading this one might think I am a religious zealot. I am not as I am quite the opposite. I am a moralist. Morals are daily life, not a designated time or place.

The GOP is one stinking pile of sh*t when an ass like Liz Cheney looks good.
