  1. Calling Darth Vader of all people a RINO…. Expected it, but still. Maga truly are insane.

    E; when an old-school GOP Warmonger trusts a Dem to defend against foreign adversaries as needed more than the current GOP nominee, that should be telling. It won’t be for batshit crazy MAGA of course, but for those of us of any political leaning who are actually sane, it truly is.

  2. I’m not sure calling former Republican VP Dick Chaney a RINO is going to have the effect he thinks it will. For the people who supported Dick, through his war crimes, it’s might make them question if he is a RINO then who isn’t?

    If it gets old school conservatives who are sick of Trump’s bullshit to not vote for him, then I guess we’ll just have to accept this temporary alliance.

    To call Dick “I’ll make you apologize after I shoot you” Cheney a RINO is absolutely bonkers.

    When a Republican presidential candidate loses Dick Cheney to the Democrats, it might mean that hell is beginning to freeze over.

    I hope these two guys eventually make up and bond on a hunting trip in beautiful Riviera Texas. Gosh darn best time of year for them quails, I tell ya whot. God Bless America 🇺🇸🦅

  7. Cheney is the f’ing definition of a Republican. I don’t recall Cheney ever being a Democrat and then switching parties.

    Trump, the world’s most obvious con-man, has turned the Republican Party upside down! Imagine calling Dick Cheney a RINO and Republican click their heels!

    Trump isn’t the leader of the Republican Party, he’s their King!

  9. What I find interesting as a get out the vote strategy is telling people that didn’t vote for you in the primaries, not to vote for you now, Also, calling an old school Republican icon that he is a RINO. It seems that Trump is trying to diminish his electorate pool while Harris is using a big tent approach. That’s a bold move Cotton.

  10. Cheney is a RINO the same way atheism is a religion. Cheney is such a republican that when he swims in the ocean, he starts a red tide.

    It’s just fucking ludicrous to describe someone buried 6 feet deep in the republican machine as being a RINO. I mean, I know his cultists will swallow it hook, line, and sinker, but to expect dyed-in-the-wool Reagan republicans to buy that BS?

    Yeah – they’re deluded. I can totally see it happening.

  11. Trash-talking waterboard Darth Cheney on a public stage may not be the wisest decision. Just saying

    These days, Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater would be considered RINOs, while Joe McCarthy would be a considered a centerist Republican.

  13. Christ. Did Trump actually *do* anything during his presidency? He a 24/7 self obsessed cry baby with the thinnest skin in the history of the planet. Yes, we’ve heard about his “tv time” every day until noon, and his daily “pro Trump binders” filled with the best pictures of him collected every day. But what *don’t* we know? How does this snowflake fuckface actually function?

  14. I have said this before and it’s now resonating across the country. You may not agree with Kamala on everything but you cannot tell me, that as an American, the country won’t be better off with her at the helm.

  15. Trump dubbing Cheney a “RINO” is as predictable as flies buzzing around a pile of dog shit.

    Dick Cheney is so far-right he was among a handful of U.S. House Republicans who voted against 1986 legislation imposing sanctions on apartheid-era South Africa and against overriding apartheid-coddling Ronald Reagan’s veto of the sanctions legislation.

    The vast majority of House Republicans—including even *Newt Gingrich* — joined their Democratic colleagues in voting to override the veto.

    Trump’s boilerplate anti Bush-Cheney schtick centers primarily on Trump falsely claiming to have “strongly” opposed the 2003-2011 Iraq War, before the war was launched. In truth, Trump in 2002 said he *supported* invading Iraq. Trump publicly soured on the war about a year after it began, but to portray himself as a peacenik in any form or fashion is ludicrous.
