Will Liz Cheney Survive Trump’s Revenge?

And will she be the first of many?

At three o’clock in the morning, most sane people are sleeping, but not Donald Trump. The pathological narcissist cannot forget that someone would dare criticize him or attempt to hold him accountable for the crimes he has committed. It was at this time, in the middle of the night, that Trump chose to threaten Liz Cheney for her part in uncovering the truth behind the January 6th insurrection.

Throughout Trump’s campaign, he emphasized his desire for retribution on his perceived enemies more than what he would do for the country. He has continued to promise that his political opponents, the media, those public officials who dared to prosecute him for his crimes, and anyone who criticized him would face justice under his Justice Department. He had even called for military tribunals to carry out his revenge,

Anyone who is this obsessed with taking revenge on his perceived enemies is not a sane person. Such a person should never be in a position of power or authority. But sadly, he will be the next President in a month. Thanks to a fascist Supreme Court, he will yield almost unlimited power over everyone, including those who criticize him. He can even order his political opponents to be killed as long as he does so as one of his official duties.

Former GOP Congresswoman Liz Cheney has been at the top of his list ever since she began investigating Trump for his part in fomenting the January 6th insurrection as Vice Chairman of the January 6 select committee of the House.

She further stoked his hatred for her as she publicly supported and campaigned for Kamala Harris in the election. He has previously called for a televised military tribunal to prosecute Cheney for treason. Last year, Trump suggested that the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Mark Milley, be executed for meeting with his Chinese counterpart.

Cheney is arguably at the top of Trump’s hit list for his next administration, but there are others who Trump has promised to “bring to justice.” Among them are Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and his family, Barack and Michelle Obama, New York’s AG Letitia James, and the list goes on.

Trump has already started his revenge on the media with lawsuits against ABC News. The major media outlets are bending over backward to kiss up to Trump, as he has promised lawsuits against them or revoking their broadcast licenses. The First Amendment is definitely in big trouble, and it doesn’t appear that the media is willing to fight for their rights.

If anyone had doubts that Trump was kidding, all they have to do is look at the sycophants he has nominated for his Cabinet positions. Not one of them possesses any qualifications except for blind loyalty to Trump and their determination to assist Trump in his reign of retribution.

In a normal democracy, one would think Trump could carry out the revengeful prosecution of his enemies with an effective judicial system in place. However, with the highest court in the land aiding and abetting Trump’s fascist behavior, there may be no way of preventing Trump from carrying out his revenge.

How far will he go? Will he seek jail time for his detractors? Or, God forbid, will he execute them, as he has suggested? The only people who can stop him are the GOP members of Congress, who so far have signaled they are willing to follow him in lockstep. We’re in for another Inquisition!

Where Are All the Cowardly Republicans Hiding?

Liz Cheney has more balls than all of them put together.

This coming presidential election is the most critical election of our lifetime. It is unlike any other election this country has ever had. We have a former President, Donald Trump, a convicted felon who has been accused of treasonous crimes and is a known rapist, racist and pathological liar, running on the Republican ticket. His opponent is the current Vice-President, Kamala Harris, who has been a successful prosecutor and a US Senator with a long history of public service.

Presently, the race is considered to be extremely close. A candidate like Trump should never have been allowed on the ballot. It’s a disgrace for our country and the Republican Party. The race should never be this close.

Those closest to Trump, like his Vice President, Mike Pence, and most of those who served in his administration, have said he is unfit for the office of President, although Pence has not announced his support for Harris. They have stated they will not vote for him.

In an unprecedented move, Dick Cheney, the former Vice-President under George Bush and a staunch Conservative, has announced his support for Kamala Harris. His daughter, Liz Cheney, the former Conservative Republican leader in the House of Representatives, has not only announced she is voting for Harris but is also actively campaigning for her.

And they’re not the only Republicans supporting Harris. Former Representative Adam Kinzinger, former Trump Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, Pence advisor Olivia Troye, Trump’s former Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, former Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan, former Bush Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and many others from the administrations of George Bush and Ronald Reagan, have also endorsed the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris.

Many other former Republican politicians have joined their colleagues in denouncing Trump and supporting Harris. This show of force and concern for our democracy is unequaled in American electoral history. These people are true patriots who are putting country over party, and courageously risking their future careers and possibly their own safety and that of their families.

My question is, where are the other leaders of the Republican Party? The ones who are so terrified of Donald Trump that they don’t have the balls to call him out for what he is. Pence is afraid to say he will support Harris because he foolishly thinks he can run for President in the future. Trump almost had him killed, and he’s still scared stiff.

Former President George Bush has remained silent, too scared to say anything against Trump, even though Trump has taken the title of the country’s worst president from Bush. Bush’s mother, Barbara Bush, should be turning over in her grave over her son’s cowardice.

Today, Republican Mitt Romney showed his yellow streak of cowardice by refusing to commit to supporting anyone in the election. He’s scared for himself and his family. Hell, he has enough money to provide 24/7 private security for every member of his family. He probably thinks he’s going to make a comeback. I have lost all respect for the man.

Trump’s longest-serving Chief of Staff, General John Kelly, has called Trump “the most flawed person he’s ever met.” He has also confirmed Trump’s many statements denigrating our American servicemen and women. Incredibly, a man with his credentials and bravery does not want to be involved in the election, even after Trump suggested the execution of his colleague General Mark Milley, Trump’s former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

It is just unbelievable that with our country in imminent danger of losing our democracy, former Republican politicians and military leaders don’t have the balls that Liz Cheney has to stand up for our country.
