Liz

I have one thing to say about Liz Cheney.

I like her.

Oh, sure, she's a right-wing nut, but I like her.  Anyone who stands up to Trump and vows to make sure he doesn't pull a Grover Cleveland and return to the White House in January 2025 gets my vote - or would, if I lived in Wyoming.  She's all right with me.

Why not?  She knows Trump lied about winning the 2020 presidential election and having it stolen from him, and she knows he's going to keep lying about it and get his supporters to remain faithful to him to the point where Republican officeholders will do his bidding.  He is eager and ready to get back into the White House, trash the system all over again, turn the Democratic Party into a permanent minority opposition, and turn Congress into a rubber-stamp legislature to allow him to run roughshod over the Constitution.  And from there it will be one simple step to some form of apartheid to keep people of color - soon to be the majority of Americans - in line.  All while Trump uses his power to enrich himself further and bend the law to his favor.

And I don't know how Liz Cheney is going to stop all that by continuing to speak out against Trump after having been expelled for her House Republican leadership position yesterday.  But I'll sure be happy to see her try.
