Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is inching closer to succeeding Rep. Liz Cheney (WY) as conference chair in an ouster poised to erase some of the few remaining vestiges of opposition to former President Donald Trump’s enduring power within the GOP caucus that has been buoyed by falsehood over a stolen election.
Gets Job on Fox News.
I never thought I’d live my seventy five years and see one political party become so corrupted by their lust for power.
Thank Dog we do not have to fight WW2 again any time soon 
Welcome aboard the crazy train express
We've waited 20 years to see a Cheney punished for lying and instead we get a Cheney punished for not lying.

She looked at the writing on the wall and thought ‘I can either make money/power or I can have principles’…we know which one she picked.
I’d like to have a dollar every time the word “unconstitutional”* comes out of Elise’s mouth.
*unconstitutional = whatever the GOP happens not to like this particular minute.
Stefanik is a shameless and corrupt political cross dresser.
Deplorable, simply deplorable.
But what else would you expect from the GQP?
Has there ever been a group as ripe for being conned as the Trump loving majority of the GOP? They have been groomed to not believe their own eyes and ears for years now - and they are just ready for every crazy ass claim that comes their way.
Dear sheep shearsman - the flock has arrived and they are in the chute.
She’s a rank opportunist and saw an opportunity. That’s how. And why. If you read the list of actions taken by her in the bit above NONE of them are original to her. They’re all part of a political formula that benefits back benchers looking for notoriety and acceptance into the ( now dying ) MAGA world. Stefanik will never be the author of significant legislation or ideas and rise because of it. She’s not capable of that but she is capable of following the formula.
That’s it. Another trite, worn out hackneyed formula GOP’er.
Once they burn Witch Cheney at the stake, they will only get hungrier for another witch.
Reagan’s 11th commandment lead to the term “RINO’s”, then the Tea Party, now this latest iteration. Stefanik is safe as long as there are more extreme anti-Trumpers, but inevitably logic dictates that at some point she becomes the most historically disloyal anti-Trumper. The shadow dictator will happily let her burn on that day.
OANN is a better fit for that liar…after she’s convicted of sedition
At the rate that T**** is probably gorging on self-pity comfort foods, what are the odds that he strokes out prior to the 2024 election? Or even the 2022?
It is dismaying that people like Stefanik, Josh Hawley and others, who benefited from the privilege and connections that come with attending Ivy League schools choose to use their great good fortune to seek even more privilege. They are not even making a pretense of trying to benefit anyone but themselves. They are using their privilege to deny it to others.
Isn’t this how he always eats?
Let’s hope he plays lots of golf, falls getting out of the cart, breaks his hip, gets pneumonia, dies, and shits his pants. And Rudy has to clean him up as a condition of getting paid for his ‘legal’ work.
When Trump winds up in the pine condo for a permanent dirt nap, note how the Pulpit Pimp Preachers will deify him as a saint!
Will Reality ever just smack these Republicans in the face?
If not … do I have any volunteers to provide that service?
ETA: A kick in the nuts is an acceptable alternative.
I find it interesting that a Congresswoman from NY is so versed in election laws and procedures in PA, AZ, MI, and WI. I live in the same place I first registered, and I’ve only changed it once, or twice if you count moving back to changing my address to the original address when I first registered to vote.
And that even in counties in the same state do things slightly different. I never realized until last year that some polling places accommodated several precincts, or that even in a precinct registered voters could be subject to different political boundaries.
And it’s rich that people like Stefanik claim/blame changes to voting practices last year to unelected officials, officials that are in charge of running a county’s election systems that deal with slight changes every time there’s an election. OH AND WE WERE IN A A GOD DAMN PANDEMIC!
I keep thinking back to the young guy that ran the elections in Harris County, TX. Drive through voting was a really opportunity to get more people voting. I’m mean we’re Americans, we love drive through anything, right?
