Trump Attacks Cheney As Republicans Demand Her Removal From Leadership Role
Source: TPM
President Donald Trump piled on House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Thursday morning as her GOP colleagues demand she step down from her leadership position for clashing with the Presidents attempts to discredit White House COVID-19 task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Liz Cheney is only upset because I have been actively getting our great and beautiful Country out of the ridiculous and costly Endless Wars, Trump tweeted. I am also making our so-called allies pay tens of billions of dollars in delinquent military costs. They must, at least, treat us fairly!!!
He also retweeted a post from Mollie Hemingway, an editor at far-right media outlet the Federalist, accusing Cheney of helping the New York Times spread a false anti-Trump story on Trumps refusal to take action on Russia paying bounties to the Taliban to kill U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
Trumps tweet follows reports of a private House GOP meeting on Tuesday in which Cheney was raked over the coals by her colleagues for defending Fauci and supporting Rep. Thomas Massies (R-KY) primary challenger.

With less than 7 percent of Republicans House Members being women, you can see why Trump and Goetz would target her.

(557 posts)It fits Trump or Jim Jones when the poor creatures drunk the cool aid.I hate to be mean and do not want to feel this way,;but I hope Iran story of putting a hit on him is true and he fears for his life so much that he stays in his bunker. He is nothing but a mobster.When is Bill Barr going to be impeached or testify because we know he won't show up.

(5,742 posts)even more than he fears for the lives of his family (even Ivanka). I'm sure that Putin has pointed out that his international connections have no problem making a hit even in democracies such as the UK, even on the rich and famous. There have even been highly suspicious deaths right here in this country.
* Kompromat
* Death and/or disfigurement threats
* Trump's personality failings of narcissism, fearfulness, avarice, power hunger, ego, and more combined with a failing brain
This is the triple threat that keeps him under Putin's thumb and doing his bidding. Putin's ultimate aim is a bloodless coup, where he can enrich himself from America with none of the messy management details required in an actual physical takeover. All he needed was the key - the right presidential candidate.
Just my thoughts.

(17,997 posts)It's not about ideas or debate. The whole rotten mass that is the Rethuglican Nazi Party is about power, control and above all, money. They will destroy their own if they step just a little out of line. So I don't ever want to hear the media talk about "moderate Rethuglicans." There are no moderates in that party. From Susan Collins to John Cornyn, they're all a bunch of rat fucking bastards! And until they are all rounded up and removed, by hook or by crook, this country will remain mired in the mess we find ourselves in.
