Some are worse than others and we have to operate in the real world. Falling for Liz Cheney's hit job to protect herself is not going to help us.
I don't about how they are measuring the voting thing, but Elise is clearly better than Liz Cheney. Of course a real Trump Republican would be better if possible, but I'll take Elise over Liz Cheney in a heartbeat.
PW picks up stuff from all over. It wouldn't be that hard to get a narrative going here.
Why did it take this long? He should get a medal for doing his job well.
She may not be perfect but at least she is an improvement over Liz Cheney. We can't let the perfect become the enemy of an improvement.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not a fan. But I still think this is an organized hit job from the Cheney camp and her allies. The timing and the organized nature of the attacks are too much to be a coincidence.
Yes, I don't support him because of that and other reasons. But I still find this coordinated attack on him just as he's going after Liz Cheney to be interesting timing.
I'm not a fan of McCarthy, but it's hard not to notice that there is a coordinated attack on him right now. Let's at least consider what may be behind it and what explains the timing of these attacks.
I dislike Ben Shapiro as much as anyone, but Candace Owens is based. She would be fantastic.
What a feckless coward. The real pandemic in this country is a lack of courage and integrity.
The truth is no one was in danger that day anyway. Other than the murder of Ashley Babbit and a few minor scuffles, it was a picnic compared to the average BLM riot.
I completely agree with all of that. I'm just skeptical of anyone who was not loudly and forcefully opposing voter fraud and anyone who used language like "riot" about Jan 6. I'm also skeptical that he was defending Liz Cheney in January. That's my point. You may be right that despite those imperfections he's overall pro-Trump. But to me, the voter fraud and Jan 6 were existential lies, and anyone who didn't go all out on those points, is not reliable in my book.
I'm not sure you're understanding my point. I don't trust the Fox News and Tucker attack either. My point is that I don't trust McCarthy regardless of what Fox or Tucker say to defend Cheney. That's because of what McCarthy was saying and not saying months ago.
I will be deeply disappointed if he agrees to return to any of the Big Tech evil Ministry of Truth overlords.
Liz Cheney and Fox News are thoroughly evil, but that doesn't mean McCarthy is reliable just because he's opportunistically going after her now. I agree Fox and Tucker may be going after him to protect Liz, but that also doesn't make McCarthy reliable. In January he was defending Liz Cheney. He was weak on fighting the Jan 6 lies, calling it a "riot". He was weak on fighting election fraud. He may be better than most of the RINO swamp creatures, but he's not exactly reliably based in my view.
Every time I see this I get two hernias from seeing Michigan listed twice and NC on there even though Trump won it in the end. I will post a separate fixed post.
Our stupidity and fecklessness for going along with all of this is truly profound.
The skepticism of McCarthy didn't start with Fox News this week. The guy is not reliable. Look what he was saying and not saying back in January.
Not sure where you live, but of the people I know, black people are far more likely to have TDS than Hispanics.
Um, your post would be called a doomer post by some. Nothing you have presented gives any reason not to doom.
Yup. In any other case, he would be facing serious consequences and the conviction would be guaranteed overturned. Not in corrupt clown world judicial system though.
These people just took over the federal government, possibly permanently if massive voter fraud stays in place. This insanity is not restricted to the west coast anymore.
True, but I hope you and anyone in your position would do the right thing and refuse to "just follow orders" in that situation. That same mentality leads straight to complicity in unspeakable atrocities.
I pasted the headline straight from the article, not mine. I agree TGP sometimes has sensationalized headlines. It sounds like at a minimum, he was supporting trafficking because the group that supplied the prostitutes was a trafficking organization. But you might be right that the headline is exaggerated. Still not appropriate or legal behavior for a political leader.
I think everyone understands he means that he supports the right to peacefully protest. Obviously he doesn't support everything anyone might decide to protest.
