Merely a slip in a cog in the never ending bullshit machine that is the republican party.

When Liz Cheney is the voice of reason, you know that the country has entered a new phase. I would hesitate to call it “greatness”.

Like most of these shit head Republicans you’ve got to look at what they do not what they say

It is somewhat reassuring to know there is a little reasonableness in an otherwise unreasonable environment.

A cogent and germane suggestion, as the expression that comes to mind is “deep doo-doo”, popularized by George H.W. Bush and a reliable standby for Republicans ever since…

There are some people with whom I have never agreed who cause me to reconsider my positions when I find myself in agreement with them. This is one of those times. Am I missing something here?

I’m with you.

Her district, which is the entire state of Wyoming, is nowadays nearly three quarters Republican (by registration).

We’re stuck with her, so we may as well appreciate all this:

Cheney, a member of GOP leadership as House Republican Conference chair, called Fauci “one of the finest public servants we have ever had” via Twitter.

He is not a partisan. His only interest is saving lives,” the GOP leader tweeted. “We need his expertise and his judgment to defeat this virus.”

All Americans should be thanking him. Every day,” she continued.

All of it can be used against various nitwits.

Who exactly is “the other side” that Rand Paul mentions? Quacks? People who flunked high school biology?

We’re not talking about politics here, we’re talking about scientific information, which is either accurate or not accurate.

I’d love to see John Cleese do a reverse ‘bring out you dead’ video, in honor of Our President’s BS offensive:

I’m dead!
No your not.
I want to get on the cart.
Your not fooling anyone, you know.
