Yeah…if you had told 2004 me that in 2024, I would be voting for the same candidate for President as Dick Cheney….
It would have been a rumble, right on the spot….
But, that is where we are…

Liz Cheney on ABC: “I’ve been voting for 40 years. My first vote was for Ronald Reagan in 1984. I’ve never voted for a Democrat. It tells you the stakes in this election. Donald Trump presents a challenge and threat fundamentally to the republic. We see it on a daily basis. Somebody who was willing to use violence in order to attempt to seize power, to stay in power … we have to do everything possible to ensure he’s not reelected. Given how close this race is, in my view it’s not enough — you have many Republicans out there who are saying, ‘Well, we’re not gonna vote for him but we’ll write someone else in’ — I think this time around that’s not enough, that it’s important to actually cast a vote for Vice President Harris.”

Liz Cheney: “This November, casting a vote for Donald Trump or writing someone in means you’ve made the decision that in too many instances so many elected Republicans have made, which is to abandon the Constitution, to tell yourself that this is simply a partisan choice.

Liz Cheney on Trump threatening her: “It’s not personal from my perspective with one exception, and that is that I’m a mother. I’m a mother of 5 kids. And it is personal to me that my kids grow up in a country where they know they can depend on the peaceful transfer of power.” https://t.co/wg3Z6bKWtO

No. It is not a close one. For those who choose democracy.

During a campaign stop in Pittsburgh, Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the endorsement from Liz Cheney and former Vice President Dick Cheney. “What they both, as leaders who are well-respected, are making an important statement that it’s okay and if not important to put country above party,” Harris told reporters. #lizcheney #dickcheney #kamalaharris #election2024 #endorsement #news #politics #msnbc

What Liz Cheney is doing here is quite important to recognize as we document this chapter in our shared history. Cheney is not simply saying she will vote for Harris, nor is she simply creating a “permission structure.” She’s applying actual pressure on Republicans, even employing an aspect of subtle shame. Not something we saw someone forcefully do in 2016 or 2020.

NEW:
@VP
was asked how she plans on handling Trump on the debate stage, during an interview with The Rickey Smiley Show. Here’s what she said:
• “He’s played through this really old entire playbook where there’s no floor for him in terms of how low he would go.”
• “He is not burdened by the truth.”
• “He is probably going to speak a lot of untruth.”
• “I think he’s gonna lie.”

Insane what is happening in Venezuela:
On election day, Maduro falsely claimed he won. Meanwhile, the opposition published thousands of receipts from voting machines showing that Edmundo Gonzalez won the election decisively.
Maduro’s security forces have arrested thousands of members of the opposition party and over the weekend Gonzalez fled the country.

Boom. VP Kamala Harris just spoke about her debate strategy & nailed it, saying, “We should be prepared for the fact that Donald Trump is not burdened by telling the truth, & we should be prepared for the fact that he is probably going to speak a lot of untruth.”

They nitpick and micro analyze everything Kamala Harris does and yet Donald Trump’s running a campaign straight out of Mein Kampf and they’re deaf, dumb and blind AF to it. Come on.
