2. I've explained this 100x and no one seems to care.

It's because the neocons have found a home in the Democratic Party.

Because Trump is a greater threat to neoconservatism than the Democrats.

Thus... I hope and pray to the Cat and Dog God... that once Trump is defeated the Democratic Party flushed all the neocon turds who have sucked up to the Party over the last 8 years.

A neocon influenced Democratic Party is worse than the pre-Trump status quo.

I don't want the neocons to take over our party. In many ways Bush's foreign policy was even worse than Trump's.

Liz Cheney is voting for Colin Allred in the U.S. Senate race and Dick Cheney is voting for Kamala Harris, she tells TribFest.

"Colin Allred is somebody I served with in the House…You might not agree on every policy position, but we need people who are going to serve in good faith. We need people who are honorable public servants, and in this race that is Colin Allred. So I'll be working on his behalf."

Liz Cheney says Dick Cheney will vote for Kamala Harris, and she will support Democrat Colin Allred in Texas Senate race

Former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney will vote for Kamala Harris, his daughter Liz Cheney, a former U.S. representative said at The Texas Tribune Festival on Friday.

Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, also endorsed Democrat Colin Allred in his race to beat Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz.

Liz Cheney endorsed Harris earlier this week at Duke University. She has been one of Donald Trump's chief critics, calling the former Republican unfit for office since the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“Dick Cheney will be voting for Kamala Harris,” she said of her father, who served as vice president under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009. “If you think about the moment we’re in, and you think about how serious this moment is, my dad believes — and he said publicly — there has never been an individual in our country who is as grave a threat to our democracy as Donald Trump is.”

8. Sure sign of impending loss.

When the Titanic sank, the lifeboats contained women, children, and
ABLE BODIED SAILORS. (That's why I joined the Coast Guard)

Can't say that these fine folks have any motivation other than to pick through the wreck, but



It's a sign ( if you take it literally. )
