    If you had told me during the Bush years that there would be a Republican so evil even Dick Cheney wouldn’t vote for them I may have jumped off a bridge.

      Maybe Cheney got an ethics transplant along with the heart transplant

        Nah, the GOP are trying to future proof themselves from criticism. They’re banking on rose colored glasses being on for pre-Trump republicans.

          Yup

          Everyone sees how romney and liz cheney (and mccain before them) was praised as “the one sane republican” and want to set themselves up to be that when trump finally croaks and they can run “moderate republicans” again.

          All these fucks vote more or less in lockstep with trump and the magats outside of MAYBE one or two issues. But they just don’t like that they have no power in the party anymore and that trump has repeatedly demonstrated he can’t get any down ballot candidates elected.

      Or you’ve been propagandized so much that you think fucking Dick Cheney being on your side is somehow a good sign and it doesn’t even give you a moment’s pause. He is still an evil piece of shit and anything he is advocating for deserves at least some examination.

          There’s a saying, around here people know it…some people over there may know it too… the enemy of my friend is my enemy, the enemy of my enemy is my contractually non-binding Diplomacy partner.
