    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    This is unjust. But resources wasted on WY royalty will be diverted away from vulnerable people.

    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.
