Cheney responded to the barely veiled threat with class and dignity. Not a fan of Liz's politics, but I applaud her for her great integrity and very high intelligence:
“This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant,” Cheney wrote on X with the hashtags #Womenwillnotbesilenced and #VoteKamala. What a great person Liz Cheney is proving herself to be.
The Monstrous Old BoneSpur Orange Cowardly Sadist says to put HER in front of a (essentially) firing squad so she can see what it feels like to send soldiers to war. MEANWHILE: he can't his Daddy to pay to have him get a deferment from the Vietnam War for FOUR YEARS, and he gets a boo-boo on his ear and turns it into a sign of great Valor and Courage. He is truly nothing but a pile of shit. (You know me, Alicia, I may say that word, but I don't write it. Well too effing bad! That's what he was, is, and always will be, unless the Devil wants to morph him into something else. A burning piece of lava? Who knows. Who cares? "I really don't care, do you?")
Ugh. What’s it gonna take for his idiot supporters to see how dangerous and demented he is. I’m with ya-let’s get this election over with. Then I wanna see Jack Smith take the reins. 🙄
Statistically speaking, I’m hoping you’re correct Susan, yet history has proven the power of a nation under oppression is highly susceptible to cults and violence!
Class warfare is geared to look like internal uprising among the rest of us, who are already being oppressed. The orange mewling wastrel has been but a pawn in a much bigger game of big $$$ fuckery and high treason. The prototypical "useful idiot." With Vance as their second, TFG will be expendable whenever TPTB feel like letting him choke on his own vomited idiocy! What comes next after the prevaricators gone… In this divided nation of serfs to a class they will never belong? I’m not counting on sensibilities… Bon weekend!!
It would be nice if we could get rid of Cruz, Rubio, Rand Paul, Graham cracker, and Mike Johnson as that would help weaken their hold. The Twatter Caucus maybe easier to get rid of than those I just mentioned. One thing that would certainly help is if the Fairness Doctrine was reinstated and applied to cable and streaming service news as well.
I forgot to thank you for mentioning Emmy Noether, whom, I feel quite sure, none of us has ever heard of. Einstein wrote in her obituary in 1935 that she was a “creative mathematical genius". One source, which I am reading, states that in 1918, "Noether divined a link between two important concepts in physics: conservation laws and symmetries" -- thus laying the groundwork for all of the physics breakthroughs that followed. The importance of the theorem she discovered was acknowledged by all of the great physicists of her day, and those who followed. "She was invited by David Hilbert and Felix Klein to join the mathematics department at the University of Göttingen, a world-renowned center of mathematical research." Surprise! Surprise!!! The males in the department (well, they were ALL males) didn't want her there. They compromised by letting her enter, BUT ON CONDITION SHE USE THE NAME OF HER (MALE) SPONSOR -- and publish her papers under HIS name. (Note: this is NOT what Dr. Hilbert wanted, bless him. He was like good men who like Tim Walz and are voting for Harris/Walz.) DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! BTW: if you haven't read the books written by Marie Benedict, the time has come to read them. All are about brilliant women whose work was not only claimed by males, but of which there has been absolutely NO public awareness. Einstein's first wife discovered the Theory of Relativity. (Surprised? So was I.) Her name was Mileva Malic and she was an extraordinarily gifted physicist and mathematician. He refused to let her go back to her work publicly, but stole her private work which she did in between cleaning the house, cooking the meals, childcare, etc., etc., etc. and claimed it his own. He divorced her in a very cruel way. Watson and Crick did NOT discover the Double Helix. That incredible discovery was made by the brilliant British chemist, Rosalind Franklin. Her work was stolen from her by Watson and Crick. They gave absolutely NO credit to her, and Nobel Prize for HER work. In recent years, her discovery of DNA is beginning to be spoken about -- but not by many. Am I DISGUSTED by the way intelligent women have been treated from Time Immemorial? YOU BET I AM!!!!!!!
I am wishing you well from across the pond. Not because I doubt for a minute VP Harris does not have it in the bag, every instinct I have is telling me she has, but because the alternative is so shocking.
I’m old enough my grandfather drove trucks at the battle of El-Alamein. The idea that - once again a major industrial nation could be on the verge of surrendering to Fascism of the most virulent is horrifying.
Fascists always lose in the end because the overconfidence is baked in. Hitler believed a he could be at war with the USSR and USA no problem because his soldiers were aryan ubermenschen. Trump could not believe he could lose to a woman but he has -repeatedly if you count Jean E Carrol and Stormy Daniels - It’s not in his addled brain that he could lose to a “low IQ” (we all know what that means) one like VP Harris, but he will.
But I’m thinking of you all in the US and sharing your anxiety. It won’t go well for anyone (esp not my Ukrainian friends) if we get a Nazi in the White House. So I am anxious about what could happen, but all my instincts say ‘Nope’.
Mr. MAGA Bully and Brad Todd are great examples of why we need to elect Kamala Harris and toss the GOP loons out of office. Violence and sane washing are terrible ways to run a country. As many have quipped, Trash Collection day is Tuesday Nov 5. Even though my collection day is Wednesday, I always take my cans out on Tuesday. Apropos, no?
The MAGA base definitely has outdated ideas about women. Look at all the leggy blond fem-bots on Fox. Not a non-white, hardly a non-blond. Most of them are dark eyed so i suppose they are bleach blonds. I like real blonds well enough,, but why should blond be requirement for a job? Or anything else? Reminds me of the stupid Nazis, who thought they were Aryans. (They weren't, and the historical Aryans probably were not blond.) I don't think MAGA/Relious Right A-holes really think of women as human beings. Just servants, pleasure machines, and son factories. Like the medieval Catholic clergy. Or the Taliban. And -just like the Catholic and Taliban clergy- I'll bet many R's desire boys, not women.
"Alina Habba herself said that she’s rather pretty than smart. If Habba truly is smart (and man, is she hiding it well if she is), the MAGA base applauded this statement."
Trump fantasizes about being human being, it will take a generation to fix what Trump and his cronies have screwed up! We will have to continue to fight for our country for many years before we get back what we have lost!
Right--they are leaving this country the way they leave an event--trashed and full of muck. Democrats will perform the thankless task of cleaning up after them while having to walk on eggshells. I am sick of it. We need BOTH parties act like the adults in the room, not one.
More important, tRump only surrounds himself with the most craven people, man or woman. That's all I need to know.
"There are some sharp women in Donald’s camp using their intelligence against women in America for a buck—but Cuban didn’t stutter when he said that Trump is afraid of strong, independent women.
He. Was. Right!
Don’t walk it back, Mark!!!
Alina Habba herself said that she’s rather pretty than smart. If Habba truly is smart (and man, is she hiding it well if she is), the MAGA base applauded this statement.
I am sure some MAGA women smiled and nodded along."
If possible, this YouTube video about the Trump/Epstein relationship and history as told by writer Michael Wolf is illuminating and shows that there is no vile act Trump won't do. NSFW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74naOi9ES7U
Epstein has been at the heart of the inner-beltway boys club for years, and one hell of a distraction for those who hold the levers of power in our country Carol!
BTW, Patrick, contrary to the fascists, Kamala had no relationship with Epstein. She was prosecuting drug runnersm coyotes, rapists and sexual predators like Trump, and Wall Street banking SEOs who defrauded the U.S. and the world as well as the taxpayers left with the bills after none of them were imprisoned. Not only that, they paid themselves a king’s ransom in bonuses afterwards and started buying up rental and family residents and steeply raising prices. We see the damage all these men have done to this country and the world.
A creep is a creep. How about we end the patriarchal privilege of sticking it wherever, whenever, wmoever the boys want. Been there starting when I was 5. Looking forward to the end of rape culture.

Agreed--she stood up and did not back down. As Cuban said, Trump detests strong women. So does MAGA.

Oh, I hope he is trounced at the ballot box, Susan--and sent to jail without access to social media! Oh, blessed day!
Without his phone he’ll curl up into a corner and d*e!
I could see him pretending to use a laptop or phone, complete with Beep and Clack mouth sound effects, lol.
That would be a blessing.
Trump’s demise is eminent, but the peerless in vacuous idiocy of the MAGA minions isn’t going anywhere for couple of voting cycles, minimum Susan!
There are more sensible people than there are idiots. I understand they aren’t going away anytime soon.
Statistically speaking, I’m hoping you’re correct Susan, yet history has proven the power of a nation under oppression is highly susceptible to cults and violence!

Take the reins and hang that mfr with 'em.
I think that's asking for a miracle as many of them are wretched people like him.

Spot on sister!
"Alina Habba herself said that she’s rather pretty than smart. If Habba truly is smart (and man, is she hiding it well if she is), the MAGA base applauded this statement."
She's neither.
Very well put this morning, Alicia. Keep spreading the news!
Trump fantasizes about being human being, it will take a generation to fix what Trump and his cronies have screwed up! We will have to continue to fight for our country for many years before we get back what we have lost!
Right--they are leaving this country the way they leave an event--trashed and full of muck. Democrats will perform the thankless task of cleaning up after them while having to walk on eggshells. I am sick of it. We need BOTH parties act like the adults in the room, not one.
The orange ass loves to run his ignorant mouth about women. If he is so tough, why did he puss out on the Vietnam war with his phony bone spurs?
I guess the NYT sanewashed it? 🤷♀️ But we're not talking about "whether they like it or not" today.
More important, tRump only surrounds himself with the most craven people, man or woman. That's all I need to know.
"There are some sharp women in Donald’s camp using their intelligence against women in America for a buck—but Cuban didn’t stutter when he said that Trump is afraid of strong, independent women.

This is up there with his other dumb statements . Liz responded with class . Great post Alicia
Excellently crafted post kd!!
