Does everyone remember when Liz Cheney was a monster who betrayed her lesbian sister? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 20/08/2022 11:46:38 AM

Suddenly she's a hero, because coasting to a win in a small state on paternal name recognition, then pandering to the media by running a reelection campaign trashing the guy who got 69% of the vote less than two years ago, is in no way an example of rising above one's level of competence.

Now, it seems the latest thing is that her opponent said she hadn't received a concession call from Cheney. The headlines are all spouting that Cheney has released a recording proving this. The recording begins, "Hi, this is Liz Cheney. It's 8:13 PM..." A fucking recording. Setting aside that for anything important, anything where a show of respect (which is the point of a concession call - I think it's pretty safe to say that no one actually cares what a Cheney has to say about anything) is important, no one considers a voice mail to be an acceptable level of effort, there is the point that proving you have left a message does NOT disprove the contention that the other party never heard it.

But that is the level of insanity, that simply by denouncing Donald Trump these days, you have certain segments of society on your side, who will make efforts to defend you and go out of their way to promulgate your narrative. How is that any better than being a part of his cult of personality? I certainly have never heard of her opponent, and honestly, cannot at this moment, recall the name of the likely new US Representative from Wyoming.
