This from a guy who uses Twit as a reliable source of information.
Yeah. He quit name calling. But his posts don’t have much behind them. If you ask questions he eventually falls back on talking points.
Qualifier - unless of course if iran is looking for a better deal here
According to her wikipedia page, in September 2020, Cheney asked the Justice Department to investigate environmental groups, such as the Natural Resources Defense Council, Sea Change and the Sierra Club, from the standpoint of “Chinese and Russian attempts to influence environmental and energy policy in the United States.”
So you don’t want to know if Russia or China is trying to influence US policies … or elections?
All countries influence others either through trade, sanctions, regime change and hell yes even war. You are with Cheney here saying Sierra club is under russia chinese control. I see
Asking for an investigation is not accusing.
I don’t know what she knew.
If it were false, what would it benefit her to raise these accusations?
Because how can it be they are concerned about climate change. They must have been influenced by russia china. Its a communist plot!!!
Is that some kind of joke?
Its quite serious. Right wingers like cheney trying to blacken climate change activism through claims of association with Russia and china and the fake left siding with the right wing by calling this legitimate action
Well, that’s complicated
Any idea of what came of the investigation?
Google is your friend
So, you don’t know then.
I know cheney was joined at the hip with trump in opposing a $1.5 trillion infrastructure package; congressional approval for Trump to take military action against Iran; the Environmental Protection Agency issuing regulations pertaining to certain chemicals; restoring parts of the Voting Rights Act; Affordable Care Act expansion; and allowing the federal government to negotiate lower prescription drug prices.
I know you know that
Yeah, for you, google gives you the propaganda you love, so you can troll.
So was pretty much every other republican. What’s your point?
She pretty much toes the party line until it comes to attempted coups and dictatorships. That’s when Country takes precedence over party.

The facts of this story are pretty well agreed on here. The question is, how will we react?. What’s the path for those who have criticized Trump? Can a coalition be built to stop the assault on democracy?

Another liberal joining CC’s club of painting this neo con extremist war monger as a pro worker pro democracy warrior and is very comfortable if she became the leader of the Democratic Party
michaelcrawford you are lost within your own fantasy, I’ll admit it’s nice to see you’ve been cut loose, since you brought zero, with a topping of bs, to this discussion.
Is there any trumpster out there that can carry on a rational fact based discussion?
Guess that’s an oxymoron.
Now to get this topic back on track. Here’s an interesting look at the way trump’s political machine worked on Wyoming.
… Trump had met at his Bedminster, N.J., golf club with Cheney primary challengers Darin Smith and Chuck Gray, but the former president wasn’t blown away. He was most impressed with a third Wyoming Republican he met with, state Sen. Bo Biteman, a prospective contender who had the backing of David McIntosh, a Trump ally and the president of the Club for Growth. (Bouchard never got a meeting with Trump, who didn’t like that the candidate was refusing to talk with Trump’s aides and insisting he’d only deal with the former president himself.)
As the summer went on, the idea of a Hageman candidacy began to take hold at Bedminster. Trump advisers had already talked about supporting her as a possible primary challenger to Wyoming’s incumbent governor, Republican Mark Gordon, and they turned now to the prospect of a House bid. Three key Trump allies — Meadows, Jordan, and Wyoming Sen. Cynthia Lummis — were urging the former president to get behind her as a Cheney challenger.
In August, Hageman arrived at Bedminster to meet with Trump. During the sit-down, Trump asked her about her past support for Cheney, a question her advisers had prepped her to answer beforehand. The former president came away impressed and liked the idea of picking a woman to take on Cheney.
Preparations for a Hageman bid accelerated: Trainer and another Trump adviser, 2020 campaign manager Bill Stepien, soon met with Hageman at her Cheyenne law office to start mapping out a campaign. A week later, in late August, Trump called Hageman, told her she would have his support and urged her to launch her campaign soon. She settled on Sept. 9, stacking her campaign with Trump campaign veterans, including Trainer, Stepien, Clark, Tim Murtaugh, Lauren Bosler, and Carly Miller. Surabian, a top adviser to Donald Trump Jr., would run the pro-Hageman super PAC, along with another Trump loyalist, James Blair. … (plenty more to the story, this is just a teaser)
