I’m at the point where I want a republican thrown in jail if he even looks at me the wrong way. ---

And now they are trying to boot out Liz Cheney again, and this time it’s gaining traction. Because she voices an opinion they disagree with, that happens to be true. Where are all the conservative cries of “Cancel Culture”? “Free speech”? ---

It’s cancel culture when the people who own the Dr. Seuss titles voluntarily take a few books out of production. It’s not cancel culture when a political party shuts down one of their own for actually telling the truth and trying to defend the American democracy. ---

Ha! Excellent point – I’m sure if some Democrat was “cancelled”, the Republican concern trolls would be all over it. ---

Eggzactly. I don’t recall any GQP pearl-clutching when Al Franken got the boot and that was for “forcibly kissing” a thirty-something woman, not dipping his wick into a seventeen-year old. ---

Edelman revealed that Cheney herself secretly orchestrated an unprecedented op-ed in the Washington _Post_ by all ten living former Defense Secretaries, including her father, warning against Trump’s efforts to politicize the military.

> [@Typo\_Negative](#): > > Ya know what would be beautiful? If she was to leave the GOP, run as a Democrat and WIN!! Please. Cheney is an evil Republican who just happens to be on the right side of one issue, one which has nothing to do with policy or the well-being of the country. We want Republicans out of all governmental positions, not another Joe Manchin only ten times more conservative. ---
