    That’s hilarious. Liz Cheney has got a real dry wit. I guess growing up with her father will do that.

    just clicked on that and Twitter started stuttering on me as I scrolled (iPhone). I’ve heard about it doing this on androids, but this is the first I’ve seen on apple. Elon really knows what he’s doing with the code lol

    See if you can guess whether or not she’s taking the high road over the news. She suuuuuucks. Liz Chaney can throw shade all day at her now.

    This is the first time I’ve think I’ve seen widespread on social media Republican voters being angry at their own party more than anything else. They’re finally starting to realize that you’re not going to win if you keep letting these blathering baboons embarrass you in Washington. Just like those fucking idiots in Brooklyn and Portland when Hillary didn’t win— you need to accept that the world does not always or even necessarily reflect your specific views. Because you have BAD representation.

    I see the smarter ones saying that. The other 75% I see are the mouth breathers still claiming that all the elections are stolen and Trump is going to drain the swamp again in 2024. I lean right of center and I can't fucking WAIT for him to disappear.

    Wait, “again”? What was drained the first time, exactly? He should be looking at recent opinion of him. It’s a crumbling cult.

    Lake said earlier that either she wins, or it's fraud, nothing in between.
    Has she made a declaration yet?

    Also, is anyone else surprised that there haven't been more Republicans crying foul for losing their races?

    It's really funny to hear Dana Loesch go from shit-talking Fetterman and praising Oz, to saying "I never liked Oz."

    My serious question is how does that happen?

    I don't think DeSantis is the answer, there's a bit too much overlap with Trump there. The candidates who would be viable in a sane environment are staying out of it (Nikki Haley, Larry Hogan, etc.).

    Trump's got a massive funding operation in place, and has hundreds of millions already assembled for a campaign. That money will either go to his legal woes or to a campaign, but it's not going to another candidate.

    Also, the things that made Trump's run successful: dilution of GOP candidates, alarming war chest of funding/resources, media shit storm management skills, and a dedicated base that would view anyone else's candidacy as an insult at best are still there. Also, if he doesn't win the nomination, he runs as independent and tanks the election.

    I think Liz Cheney's stock is rising, because she can chart a path to have Trump's legal woes sink him as a candidate, and she has the credibility across the aisle to do just that.

    If you're a Democrat, this is all pretty fucking fantastic news. Trump can't win, but won't go away. He's either addressed through the legal woes, which no Republican can credibly influence, or he sinks the 2024 GOP chances. By the way, the 2024 Senate map massively favors the GOP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_Senate_elections

    11 Senators are up, most in places like MS, Utah, TX, etc. I can't imagine Florida reverts back to swing statehood in 2 years, nor will Missouri, Indiana or Nebraska be gains for the Dems.

    I disagree about DeSantis. I think he turned up the Trump-esque rhetoric to get some of the Trumpers to his side but also smart enough to not step all over his dick like Trump use to do, repeatedly.

    Agreed that Trump runs as an independent and blames normal Rep as RINO's when he loses.

    Dem's should cream their jeans if he announces that he's running today.

    That woman is as crooked as the day is long. She's the biggest opportunist out there. You think she doesn't owe people for making her ambassador thus letting McMaster become South Carolina's Governor without a vote? She's just done a deft job of staying out of the fray and lobbing shots in when needed. She is the person next to the cloud of dust fight in a cartoon.

    She is, and I still don't know how she won the governorship of SC. However, she's a diversity candidate in a party that has desperate need of them, and her shot at a VP slot isn't if but when. I think you're right, in that she's smart enough to avoid shit like a Cabinet post, and sticking with the UN gig: high level, no pressure, and almost no issues that would tank her shot at VP or POTUS.

    She just said on stage that Raphael Warnock should be deported. The only people who'd vote for her are the same who'd vote for Walker, and for the same reason.

    As we sit and type, the current GOP strat is to pivot away from Trump and pretend they never liked the guy. He was their messiah and now they're denying him like the apostle Peter. But only because they lost, not like they grew a conscience or anything.

    Like a lot of them did when Trump went from declaring his candidacy to winning the nomination. Glenn beck comes to mind. One minute he was trashing Trump, then had his nose planted firmly up the man's ass.

    Sounds like the GOP is one seat away from House control.

    I can't wait for the critical legislative priorities of "Hunter Biden's instathottery" and "Fucking with downndirty's sex life"
