Cheney Says Trump Is 'unrecoverable catastrophe' Urges GOP to Vote Harris

Monday, September 09, 2024

"We see it on a daily basis, somebody who was willing to use violence in order to attempt to seize power, to stay in power, someone who represents unrecoverable catastrophe, frankly, in my view, and we have to do everything possible to ensure that he's not reelected," [Former Rep. Liz] Cheney told "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl. "You have many Republicans out there who are saying, 'Well, you know, we're not going to vote for him, but we will write someone else in.' And I think that this time around, that's not enough, that it's important to actually cast a vote for Vice President Harris," Cheney added.

Once perhaps the most frightening and powerful man on the Right, Darth Cheney now seems neutered, with many of his followers and admirers silent and cowed by a fat orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat. The Republican Party is dead. Imagine the chaos the day after Der Dotard passes. Then double it...

Alright, another war monger for Harris. Dick and Liz Cheney and John Bolton. Before they turned on Trump (because he was against going to war btw ) the left was calling them the children of Satan themselves, makes sense they would jump ship and support cackles.

Isn't Cheney a war criminal? Isn't Putin a war criminal? Isn't Hitler a war criminal?

Is Trump?

People have lost their minds being "honored" to have Cheney on our side.

They should watch out, might get shot in the face.

Cut the crap. If Trump wants a war you'll jump in with him with both feet.

That's what it means to have no values and to worship a pig.

"Dick Cheney is a war criminal who should be sent to the electric chair." Donnerboy a month ago.

"Dick Cheney is a principled great American who has always had our best interests in mind." Donnerboy after Cheney endorsed Harris.

Are straw men all you have, stupid?

Who exactly are you quoting?

Cheney was a republican hero. You all voted for BushJr, twice.

Neither the Bushes, nor the Cheneys, nor the Romneys or McCains are voting for Trump.

2016 Trump turned the Republican Party into the party of America hating lunatics.

You can clearly see the ramped up hate and vitriolic rhetoric from deplorable Trumping MAGAts.

Then you chose to side with the Putin puppet.

"Trump is a deeply unwell man. He is a deeply psychologically disturbed individual. If he were a member of your family, you'd be taking him, you'd be staging an intervention and taking him into a psychiatric hospital. He is, as I've been saying, a narcissistic sociopath, a pathological narcissist and a sociopath as defined by the American Psychiatric Association. These are, historians will tell you, the traits of authoritarian dictators throughout history."

#1 Catdog Not only is Liz Cheney endorsing and voting for Harris, so is Dick Cheney. That doesn't mean he's neutered, it means he puts country over party.

Cheney has nothing. He's a has been War Guy,he never saw a war he didn't Love.

Liz Cheney is nothing. She's Not in Congress, not any kind of relevant.

WHO CARES WHO THEY'RE VOTING FOR?

They need to shut up or be ignored.

Frankly they hurt Kamala every time they mention her. Even if they don't mean to.

Dick should shut up and report to Hades for Eternal Damnation.

His useful days on earth are long past.

Dick Cheney's biggest problem is the fact that he and W are the reason for Trump's success. Between him and W, they screwed the conservative movement over with the lies, the forever wars and the financial recklessness. He has nothing left to bring to the table buy a handful of neocons like Bolton, Wolfowitz Rummy, Scooter etc...
And here we have the Democrats welcoming them with open arms because they know the fluoride-drinking, uninformed masses that follow them because of Purple hair and a gender identity crisis, have no idea who these people really are. Yall would be lifting your skirts for Henry Kissinger if he was still alive.

BINGO... I feel So unrepresented. Both parties take Cheney seriously. That's the biggest problem of All.

Nothing to See Here. Cheney is the problem. He created the whole thing with Lies about War, and human Thriving, and Existence, in the balance.

Cheney has NO CREDIBILITY, ZERO. He's just more useless Noise.

Vote Against Trump. Forget everything else....?

Good Luck with that.

Cheney and Bush Jr. Are absolutely Toxic to the real Left.

It's Sad, really, that Trump has conned people who think that into believing he or his policies give a Flying F about them.

The Cult part is your problem; you've believed the lies, and now that you've supported them, you refuse to admit you were wrong all along.

Dems propose no tax hikes on 400k or below...

... and Trump promises that billionaires and corporations will pay less as a percentage of their taxes than you do.

Plus, you get to pay for China's tariffs in their prices, all in all, to the tune of 10 billion dollars out of your pockets over 10 years.

Dems plan will cost 2, but that ain't 10+!

"Nothing will fundamentally change"

Can you guess who said that and who he was addressing when he said it?

Hint, he was running a campaign against Trump for POTUS in 2020...

You've been HAD by a NY Yankee Billionaire Carpetbagger (funded by Russia for decades) who wouldn't piss on the middle class, nor deign to even glance at the working poor, even if he need to take leak.

None of that has anything to do with your party high-fiving with neocons.

Hey numbnuts, nobody on the left is high fiving neocons. Idiot. It is simply being pointed out that even a horrible monster of a person such as Dick Cheney can clearly see what a dangerous crazy ---- Trump and his cult have become. It seems that if it is obvious even to him, the rest of you right wing pieces of ---- should also be able to clearly see it. The fact that your right wing partisanship is so strong that it blinds you to the threat to our nation that is right in front of us speaks horrifying volumes about the mental state of most Trumpers.

You mean like the oil industry who hired the neo-cons?

The oil industry that Trump made a deal with; for a billion dollars he's their boy.

Wake up.

The American oil industry requires America to exist in order to make a profit. A destabilized America would mean an end to their income. Whatever the motives of the Cheney family are they are not wrong in this case.

The Uni-party will have undying support for Israel and Ukraine.

They will insult each other,never talk about policy issues, and make the whole contest about personality.

The Media will cover the debate like a gameshow. --- for tat and "zingers" will be prominent and much discussed afterwards.

There will be no discussion about actual policies in any detail.

The Troops will be celebrated and War proclaimed the greatest freedom for America. Out Lethal Capacity will be the center of who "Loves America the Most"

I'm not watching or voting...

Haha funneh AF... what happened to if you break it you own it?
He wished he was operating under a guy like Trumpanzee... instead... he got an "aw shucks" guy who also coincidentally couldn't speak in sentences either... and his military machine failed... several times.
All I have to say... who cares? We ain't Jayzus and going to give him a pass because he repented...
This is the house he built... its a shame he doesn't have to pay for it... his disgrace isn't taking food off his table...
