“He’s told us what he will do. It’s very easy to see the steps that he will take. People who say, ‘Well, if he’s elected, it’s not that dangerous because we have all of these checks and balances,’ don’t fully understand the extent to which the Republicans in Congress today have been co-opted.

“He’s told us what he will do. It’s very easy to see the steps that he will take. People who say, ‘Well, if he’s elected, it’s not that dangerous because we have all of these checks and balances,’ don’t fully understand the extent to which the Republicans in Congress today have been co-opted. One of the things that we see happening today is a sort of a sleepwalking into dictatorship in the United States. If you look at what Donald Trump is trying to do, he can’t do it by himself. He has to have collaborators. And the story of Mike Johnson is a story of, of a collaborator and of someone who knew then – and knows now – that what he’s doing and saying is wrong, but he’s willing to do it in an effort to please Donald Trump. And that’s what makes it dangerous.” – Former Rep. Liz Cheney, speaking to CBS News.
Maybe your pops shouldn’t have done all he could to empower the fascist “unitary executive” theory then, Liz. I mean, I agree with her in principle in this specific instance but it’s tough when her dad is a huge reason we’re in this mess.
This is purely an outsiders perspective here, but I've never really had much control over what my dad did in his life. Is it different in the US?
My dad is deeply troubled about where our party is, deeply troubled about where the country is,” Cheney, R-Wyo., said at an event held by the Aspen Institute, adding that her father, who served with former President George W. Bush, is a “tremendous source of advice and guidance and wisdom.”
She’s part of the problem.
Yes. If he wins, the Trumps will rule the USA for a long long time, and you guys can kiss your beloved constitution goodbye.
IDK, he's like 80yo, he can't really have that much time left. I think it's more likely that, assuming he gets elected, he has a heart attack before he finishes his term and the VP (whoever that is) takes over.
But he as children.
First of all no that isn't what will happen except in your weird tom clancy fever dreams. Second, the US should be on it's 10th or so constitutional rework anyway.
He already tried to take it by force. We literally have it on video.
He's already released statements about doing this.You obviously haven't been paying attention. Or are arguing in bad faith.
Your 10th rework comment is simply laughable. Pray tell when we're we ever going to get 2/3 of Congress to agree???
Guessing your post history is pro Russia red pill sov cit bs.
Pretty hilarious how Cheney has now become a liberal icon.
Liberals long for the bush/clinton years, it was a big reason Hillary Clinton still has the support she has.
Indeed, it's the nostalgia for a time when liberal world view was essentially unchallenged.
Well, if you trust a guy who already tried to overturn the government to reform your constitution , I guess you deserve what you get. Trump only cares about one thing, himself. If you cant see that, you are deeply brainwashed, sorry to inform you. He will throw you and your people under the bus at the very second and will see no use in you, like he does every damn day.
I did not know Dick Cheney and his lineage still existed. Rotten shitbags.
Nah we're living in a nightmare with sleep paralysis, lady
She's just upset that her father's not running hlthw dictatorship
if he gets the nomination, sure, maybe. quite a few other hats are going to be thrown into the ring.
