Fascinating that Trump - not a politician before he became President, and holding no political office now or in future - can't just be abandoned and forgotten by the GOP.

Wyoming Republican accuses Trump of âpoisoningâ democracy
Internal feud over Trump widening rift among Republicans
.....
Representative Liz Cheney, the No. 3 Republican in the House, accused Donald Trump of âpoisoningâ U.S. democracy with his false election claims, escalating the GOPâs internal conflict over the former presidentâs role in the party.
She tweeted a response on Monday to a statement from Trump saying that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent and should be âknown as THE BIG LIE!â
Turning that phrase against him, Cheney said: âThe 2020 presidential election was not stolen. Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system.â
Cheney, Wyomingâs sole representative in the House, and Trump have traded verbal broadsides since shortly after the Jan. 6th attack on the Capitol, which began after the then-president addressed a rally near the White House and encouraged his supporters to âfight like hellâ and to march to Capitol Hill to oppose the certification of electoral college results.
She said in February that the Republican Party must acknowledge the damage done by Trumpâs unfounded claims that the election had been stolen from him and his actions on Jan. 6, which led to his second impeachment.
Cheney, one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach the former president, has become increasingly isolated in her party over her repeated criticism of Trump. He has encouraged Wyoming Republicans to vote her out of office. After her tweet on Monday he issued a second statement, calling her a âwarmongerâ and predicting âsheâll never run in a Wyoming election again.â
Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, survived an attempt to oust her from her leadership post in early February, but Trump loyalists may try to raise the issue again.
Most other Republicans who had blamed Trump for stoking the mob that attacked the Capitol, including House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy, have since muted their criticism, as the former president continues to have a strong hold over many Republican voters.
.......
âThatâs a question for the conference,â McCarthy said last week after he was asked if Cheney was a âgood fitâ for the Republican conference in the House.
The No. 2 House Republican, Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, when asked about Cheney in an interview with Axios on Friday said Trump âis still a very active part of our partyâ and who helped turn out millions of voters for Republicans and is key to GOP hopes to retake the House.
âThis idea that you just disregard President Trump is not where we are,â added Scalise, who with McCarthy was one of 147 Republicans in Congress who voted — after the riot — to contest the 2020 presidential election results.
We're here to audit the election results (for the 3rd time) to ensure accuracy. How? well...we can't tell you that. No, you can't watch. Oh the blue pens, we weren't going to use them...just forgot how scanners work.
The Ninja guy is a genius. Say what Trump would say, and collect millions from those that wanted a different result.

Her arrest today is poetic justice.
"Project Veritas"
I think this is quite important. She was cheating for the republicans in a state won by the republicans. The democrats have been making a mistake when the message getting out was no election fraud when there was- it was just mainly by the republicans and not enough to overwhelm the democratic vote. It is easier to steal a close election and the republicans are playing the long game so that it will be harder for democrats to call out republican fraud in the next close election.
So very clever - cheat, reveal your own cheating and make it harder for others to call out your cheating next time.

American Thinker retraction on Dominion:
âThese statements are completely false and have no basis in fact. Industry experts and public officials alike have confirmed that Dominion conducted itself appropriately and that there is simply no evidence to support these claims,â American Thinker editor Thomas Lifson wrote. âIt was wrong for us to publish these false statements. We apologize to Dominion for all of the harm this caused them and their employees.â
Gee, you mean it is all made-up bullshit? Who would have thunk it!

On good authority (of course), .... the liddle puddy cat is financed by George Soros and some secret international cabal of self-loathing socialist Jews. Exercise extreme caution!
The elections company Dominion Voting Systems, which has been at the center of many of President Trump's conspiracy narratives about the 2020 election, filed suit Friday against one of the loudest amplifiers of those false stories.
The company sued Sidney Powell, a lawyer who previously worked for the Trump campaign and who has spent much of the past two months claiming Dominion rigged the election and was somehow tied to the Venezuelan regime of the late Hugo Chavez.
None of those claims are true. Dominion was founded in Toronto and is now headquartered in Denver; its machines have been used in American elections for more than a decade. Chavez died in 2013.
