Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

There is no crime here. So there is no possibility of Cheney being charged with a crime, let alone convicted. This is a political stunt, like Biden's "impeachment inquery". Cheney is not worried that she could go to jail. She is legitimately mad about (1) the absurdity of it, and (2) she will have to waste her money on a lawyer.
The GOP is pretending that Treason Trump's enshitification has already happened and the rule of law in America is already destroyed, purely because Treason Trump is embarrassed that he was caught and convicted of actual real crimes. But the basic protections are still in place. (1) a judge will dismiss any case that has no actual legal grounds. (2) lawyers can be permanently disbarred from bringing cases with no actual legal grounds, and (3) no 12 person random jury would convict when there is no actual crime.
It's the revenge tour.
I won't cry for Cheney, who spent her life feeding the beast that's eating her now, but this is a horrendous precedent and someone should stop it.
The lawsuit will happen so there's no stopping that precedent. The only good precedent that can be set is actually taking these phony lawsuits into court where their superpower, lying, has no affect.
There was an opportunity to do that a little over a month ago. But because Democrats didn't put up the god-perfect candidate, voters opted for the dictator, then complained when he started acting like a dictator.
I don’t think they are complaining yet. Precious few of us truly care about the rule of law.
No one asked for god-perfect, they asked for not shit and who cared about their concerns.
Sadly the DNC decided they know what’s best for everyone and threw the election.

Funny, I must have missed the phone call where the DNC told me to just stay home and let Trump win.
Well the important thing here is that you learned your party needs to run better candidates if they want to win. I certainly hope we learned our lesson.

The saddest part of it is people who keep dredging up this inane reasoning understand neither the irony or stupidity involved in it.
Is it irony to know voters are dumb and then expect them to know better? Definitely stupid.
Yeah, this isn't a Godzilla vs Kong situation. More like the blob absorbing and growing bigger.
Time is crawling for me now. The impending destruction has made every minute stretch into a year. Its absolutely insane that investigators of an attempted coup that got one person killed and many injured, as well as shit all over our capital building, would be charged.
The calm before the shitstorm.
That's a great tech n9ne cd.
She helps republicans win and that's the thanks she gets smh
lmao get pissed
This is unjust. But resources wasted on WY royalty will be diverted away from vulnerable people.
GOP eat GOP
Calm down. It's MAGA eat GOP right now.
Let conservatives fight conservatives.
Liz Cheney cares as much about us as her dad cared about an entire generation of soldiers sent to war off a lie he told.
This is bad because it’s an attempt to scare other conservatives to fall in line with the MAGA Nazi shit, and will probably work. It’s the same shit as the Nazi party in the Weimar Republic eating the conservatives who weren’t as right before assuming absolute power. Same playbook.
