I'm not sure who exactly she thinks her constituency IS. It certainly no longer is the people who elected her. Democrats will turn on her the moment she's no longer useful (see Mike Pence). And despite her protestations that voters were punishing her for voting for impeachment, she could have survived that. It was collaborating with the Democrats on the sham investigation into Jan. 6 - with no cross-examination, no unapproved witnesses. She betrayed her own voters, but wants to be lauded for her heroism.

The thing that disturbed me most about her speech as bringing up the Civil War...that weirds me out.

Ever notice the only people talking about a "civil war" are those on the left? They keep saying the right wants a civil war, but you don't hear much about that from the right - particularly the mainstream right.

The funny thing is that the left is so concentrated in cities, that they are extremely vulnerable in a civil war. A trucking embargo of I-5 and I-95 (think about who drives trucks in this country - not bloggers for Bolde who live in Park Slope) would probably be decisive. Team Blue would be out of food and gas in about 72 hours.

The interesting part would be Ag-based CA. Do they stay with Team Blue or not?

Polls (if u believe) consistently show red states being more accepting to splitting up. I am for sure. I think we would like to do it peacefully however and increasingly , I get the idea they are preparing for a hot break up.

Weve handed it over to china already. They manufacture 90% of our drugs, all the lithium for these car batteries were supposed to drive as gas powered vehicles.......and gas disappear. Etc....etc.....if its done properly we will be better off . It should be just like it was before the civil war.

It's obvious that Sasha is a plagiarist. All she did was record Liz Cheney's speech, and printed it out. Oh, the shame of it all.

Sasha, I think you just streamed Liz Cheney's truth. Does she know you got into her brain? My personal favorite -- "Trump’s tweets were like a million times worse than Iraq." Did she like flip her 'valley girl' blond hair while saying it?

re: "Everyone knows the only way to save a Republic is to demonize half the country" -

Sam Harris is trending on twitter for his smug admission that the intellectual elite (of which he naturally considers himself a part) and the fat cats who own the MSM (along with, presumably, the "intelligence community") had a righteous duty to suppress the New York Post Hunter Biden laptop story and all that it tells us about the complete corruption of Biden because Trump is so odious to their ilk that subverting democracy in order to swing the election was justified - to save democracy.

This tells us so much about what the intellectual elite/ruling class thinks of the 77 million "basket of deplorables" who would dare to vote to put Trump in the White House. This is the mindset that conceived and propagated "Russiagate", telling America and the world that the duly-elected President was in fact a Russian agent(!). This is the mindset that doesn't care if the country is ruined by their lies as long as they maintain power because, hey, they're our betters.

The absolute arrogance of Harris and the ilk he represents is shocking. He seemingly has no self awareness. He is utterly convinced of the righteousness of his cause to the point where putting your finger on the scale to swing an election your way is justified. Anyone who disagrees with his belief is of course stupid and (for their own good) people shouldn't be exposed to any factual information that might cause them to vote for the Orange Menace.

Sasha, you have an absolute gift for channeling the Cheny heart. Such a joy to read. I loved every slanderous reference. You take satire to new heights. And you rock!

She can join MSNBC or CNN as the Washington Generals conservative voice. She and Jonah Goldberg can be the new dynamic duo.

I didn't read the comments yet but I think she switches parties to run.......I mean surely she's not so deranged to think she'll have republican support, im talking 75 million support?

Expand full comment

If she is involved with the Lincoln Project - Rick Wilson and those guys - she will likely run as an independent, to peel off enough votes from Trump to prevent him from winning, like Bernie Sanders did with Hillary...even though he ran as a Democrat. That's my guess. She can't run as a Democrat because of her stance on abortion and guns.

Expand full comment

Can she get enough support be on a ballot? Its a great thought but i would think the only votes she would get would be rino , lincoln project votes that would never for trump anyways. If there isnt any cheating .....i think trump breaks a record

Expand full comment

My guess is she can't "peel off enough votes from Trump to prevent him from winning" because she has no real appeal to anyone. Clearly, no Democrat would vote for her for the reasons you stated, along with the fact that any Democrat voting for her would consider that their own candidate would thus lose a vote vitally needed to defeat Trump. Just as clearly, no one who supports Trump would vote for her. No disaffected Republican or Independent would vote for her unless they weren't going to vote for Trump anyway; so she'd only be peeling potential votes away from the Democrat that the disaffected Republican or Independent might have otherwise supported.

More significant than a “ Kick to you know where” that is if Cheney had them. Plus that Daddy ad should have had a warning not to let kids watch. Dracula used to frighten me as a kid but Boy did Cheney look scary.
