A complete hot mess… The MAGA movement has a lot of work ahead.
House republican representatives voted 145-61 to keep Liz Cheney in power as the #3 in the leadership position within the House GOP. Only 61 House republicans voted to remove her.
WASHINGTON DC – Rep. Liz Cheney will keep her job as the No. 3 House Republican after a resounding victory on Wednesday evening, easily beating back a conservative-led push to oust her as conference chair for voting to impeach Donald Trump.
The effort by Trump loyalists to punish Cheney, the highest-ranking woman in GOP leadership, had been brewing for weeks and finally came to head during a heated, closed-door meeting that stretched for more than four hours as several dozen members defended or condemned her.
But in the end, the overwhelming majority of House Republicans voted on a secret ballot to keep Cheney in power: 145 Republicans voted against the resolution calling on her to step down, while just 61 voted for it, according to sources with knowledge of the tally. (read more)
Cold anger……repeatedly and frequently
I am freaking OUT of the republican party…..THEY ARE COWARDS!!!!!!!! Secret Vote?????? I am freaking OUT!!!!!! IF, a person cannot stand by the courage of their convictions….they CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!!!!
Totally spineless with zero sense of self respect. How would you like to have these rats in your foxhole?
We did. See how that turned out.
She won a secret vote??? LOL!!! Sure she did…
Exactly! The nay votes don’t even know if their votes were counted. Swamp is in charge just like in the general election.
Do you mean the one that I just used a bulldozer to cover up?
We need to see the complete list of votes.
The 61 who voted to ditch her may be OK. Get rid of the 145.
What a weird hill for them to choose to die on.
It might be easier to name the 61: Gaetz, Rosendale, and Greene for starters. Then subtract the rest to find the belly crawling snakes.
We should have the right to see how they voted, we are their boss and we pay them. Can we ask who voted against her? That would be the way to find out.
Will be interesting to see who is willing to publicly state they voted against her. Those remaining either voted for, or are too cowardly to admit they voted against.
As Mark Twain would put it, the GOPe has the smallest minds and the selfishest souls and the cowardliest hearts that God makes.
Well at least we know where we stand…..
Yep. The Swamp First, foreigners second, the American People last.
The Police State above all else . . . because the politicians get RICH off it.
Look at their giant mansions . . . Look at Hunter Biden’s GIGANTIC salaries.
The corruption is everywhere and outrageous.
But the police state only investigates the people, only the people, on whose faces they plant their boots.
The land of the free . . . let’s sing it all together now . . . and trust Fox news because if we only vote for the republicans again . . . then . . . then . . .
Can not drain the swamp when they can not drain their own swamp.
can’t drain the swamp when half the people won’t admit that their party is the swamp.
They can not drain it, but we can drain it!
The GOP chose to not drain it. Even if they somehow lost, we should have witnessed the GOP putting up an awesome fight….
Many rightfully call them cowards. But from fear or greed it doesn’t matter because too many GOP made themselves traitors. And backstabbing, undermining traitors are worse than even our evil enemy who at least wear the enemy uniform and fights us to our faces.
Primaries. Primaries. Primaries.
Whoops I think I may have mistakenly flagged the comment above – did not mean to!
… should anybody be surprised? It’s the GOP!
Gang of Putzes
Of course, it has to be secret. Just like President Trump said About rinos “Bunch of weasels.”
No comment.
“No comment.”
Maybe you missed the sarcasm in “Of course, it has to be secret” ??
Not at all. It is expected and disappointing.
145 voted to keep her and the GOP is worth saving? I’m not convinced! Screw the GOP! The Uniparty runs deep in the GOP. Disgraceful! Hope Wyoming fixes this travesty!
Shes probably done here, but cant leave soon enough. Deception BarrASSo is another snake that needs to go, and I keep a leery eye on Lummis.
Give Lummis some credit, she voted to object to electors from a few states.
I don’t understand how Wyoming even let her have that job – were they giving her a chance to prove how wonderful she is?
You still believe that people choose their representatives?
The problem is so much more than just her. They all need to go.
Secret Vote?
McCarthy has to go.
The GOP is DEAD.
Any talk of resurrecting it is futile.
Vote them ALL out.
We shouldn’t waste our time even talking about it. Sorry I brought it up.
AMERICA FIRST is the only way to go.
you will never replace these people as long as republicans continue to vote for whomever the rnc tell you to vote for.
We need a new party.
OK, I thought the Republican Party could be saved. It may still happen but without my money. Stick a fork in me….I’m done.
Use a knife. Its quicker, more accurate and usually fatal. Your worries will be over.
So is a .45 caliber ear wax removal kit, but the analogy wouldn’t be quite the same.
A SECRET BALLOT
Screw the GOP
Time for a new party
if you want to do that you will have to primary every rnc candidate and not with rnc subversives like the rnc did with pseudo tea party candidates.
Well, it’s going to be up to her constituents, whom she has ignored, to remove her from her leadership position.
Do we still believe our votes are counted?
Is that why President Trump is not in office? Because our votes are counted?
Is that why Nancy Pelosi has proposed that 16 year olds should vote? Because the globalist corporations want 16 year olds to have a voice in how they are regulated?
Not voting for my congressman from VA if they voted to keep her in position, PERIOD. I’ll vote for the challenger.
No matter where you are, we HAVE TO have tighter election laws starting in 2021 at state and local levels, then in 2022 as well for Congress.
Disgraceful. There are no other words.
“easily beating back a conservative-led push to oust her as conference chair”
Read that phrase. Read that phrase again. Think about what that phrase is implicitly stating about the current Republican Party.
You nailed it. Conservatives are the minority in the Republican Party.
Not just that. The rest don’t give a shit about the constitution either.
She supported an unconstitutional impeachment without any facts.
The party needs to be burned to the ground.
Sadly, this is not new.
Within my living memory it is true as far back as 1976 when the RINOs backed Ford (who was beaten by the nuclear peanut farmer) over Reagan. And given what happened to Goldwater, it is probably fair to say it wasn’t new when it happened to Reagan.
I’ll exclude Nixon, because even though I regard him as having been impeached for offenses all of them committed, too many of our current day problems trace back to him being more RINO than conservative even though he clung to the conservative label and Demoncrats continue to characterize him as such for propaganda purposes.
There use to be a guy on twitter who told everyone that the system was rigged against them and that he was the only thing standing between us and them. They shut his account down but I think he was onto something.
Like ⬆️
I’m rather enjoying the GOP’s nuts in a vise between their forlorn attempts to sell us their tired, corrupt establishment swill and the complete bottoming out of their whole voting base
Now that President Trump is out of town. Lord I pray you’ll open the Potomac and swallow up dc and considerable acreage surrounding , Only couple dozen good people would be lost.
We must defend them at all levels and only fund candidates directly who can be trusted…. or at least want to give the muddle finger in a primary.
There was a deal made , not to go after Greene in exchange for keeping Cheney. Thats my opinion.
Yep….that’s my guess also….DO NOT CARE! The ‘SQUAD’ should have been fragged 2 years ago….but the cowardly republicans didn’t have the guts to get it done….
the republicans are not gutless. when are republican voters going to stop with that nonsense. these people thumb their nose at their constituents at every turn with testicles make of brass.
The media is stoking vitriol against her 24/7 and shows no signs of letting up.
That should work out fine. Swampers never go back on a deal.
Wait. Is there no list of who voted to keep her and who didn’t?
Secret ballot. Stalin would be proud.
Amazing…..just amazing…….I guess I can keep my wages ‘secret’ also….why not!
Because of withholding . . . and because you signed an agreement with your bank for them to share your account information
The only way to get to a healthy forest that is too big to thin … is to just burn it down…
I’m out also…it needs to be crushed, along with all it’s foul membership in DC….a handful of the house and senate will be allowed to participate in the ‘new’ america first party…
Bush let Cheney and Halliburton steal billions for the Hurricane Katrina cleanup which of course was never cleaned up! Drive along I-10 from Mississippi to Texas and the place is still a mess with debris from the storm. Cheney got billions $$$ for nothing!
The Inside Story: How
@GOPLeader
Kevin McCarthy got to keep
@RepLizCheney
and at the same time appease Donald Trump’s wing of the party.

Except he didn’t
You are correct; he/they forgot about their constituents. This is actually funny; they really don’t care about their voters one iota. In our face with a secret ballot.
is that a work of fiction?
If it’s a news story, you should always assume it’s all or mostly fiction . . . actually, lies.
Fiction isn’t really lies.
These are lies aimed at manipulating people.
The whole house votes tomorrow whether to remove Greene from her committee assignments. The only ones appeased are the uniparty.
The republican traitors are secretly hoping that the Dems do it for them.
They will go along with whatever the Dems do.
Totally impotent and incapable of doing anything that the voters want.
Love the whole Do they want to be the Party of Lincoln or the Party of Trump? ending to the article…um, last time I checked, I dont see Honest Abe anywhere around
APPEASE?
No, no, no, no…..OMG.
spoogels, I read the article and it’s not going to work for me. I don’t care about Greene. She has no influence, and I think she belongs in the same class as Cortez. What happens with her is not important. Don’t take the bait McCarthy & Scalise have thrown at you.
Dems are picking fights daily with Reps, and Reps are picking fights with their base.
“When elephants fight, the grass beneath them suffers.”
My instinct to change my party affiliation on 1/7 was correct. What a bunch of vile, traitorous,vipers.
My entire extended family did it that day too.
Liz. Short for lizard.
Basically a man in a man’s body.
Bushes’ endless globalist wars and Tom Ridge’s color-coated scale of terror hysteria and Larry Craig’s wide stance in the bathroom stall and Cruz’s bundle of teddy bears handed out at the border and McCain’s thumbs down to preserve Obamacare and Paul Ryan’s omnibus giveaways to special interests.
The GOP is a wreck of an institution. Their list of accomplishments from the past 25 years looks like a nursing home structure fire amid a backdrop of a cat-5 hurricane.
The RNC is amazing at propaganda, I’ll give them that. They routinely defecate down the throats of its voters and these sad masochists gulp it down and beg for more.
We’re not eating the shit anymore, that’s for sure.
145 COMMUNIST republicans WE WANTS NAMES…
And you’ll never get it…
Not surprised. At all.
This is the last straw for me. Time to launch my walk-away.
Takes ten minutes
https://www.usa.gov/change-voter-registration
They are disgusting. What losers.
OMG. It really WAS a secret vote!!!
F*ck ’em.
The 61 who voted to ditch her are gonna have to drop a hint. Cuz that’s just pure BS.
The MAGA movement Does have a lot of work ahead. Form a New Party not entrenched in the Swamp and rather of, by, and for The People.
well if your want to maintain a democracy that new party has to run candidates in the primary only and not the general election. you don’t want to split the vote. only democrats benefit from that.
What difference does it make?????! The GOP and the DEMs are the same!!!
Walk away from the party, and it will fade out.
I don’t think you get it. We don’t care about that. Let the commies win. We’re not voting for the people who shit on us daily anymore.
So the GOP wants to sign their own party’s death certificate. Cool. Let them. Will make it easier to bury the bones.
They signed that certificate when they supported the Dems to steal the election.
Forget the GOP. It is a globalist lost cause. They are cowards hiding behind a secret vote.
It’s time for a MAGA party or the Constitution Party.
……The die is caste
This is major foreshadowing that the GOP Senate is willing to convict President Trump through a secret ballot.
That is now clear as day
The 61 need to do something really different. Just going along with the corrupt GOP House Leadership is not getting the job done.
I wonder if some version of Angelo Codevilla’s proposal outlined in the American Greatness website might work? “Start by Boycotting the House” 2/2/21. (I’d embed a link, but I’m not sure what Sundance’s protocols are on that.)
it was typically nauseating of the GOP to hold a secret ballot. The 61 patriots who voted to get rid of Cheney should all come out publicly and say they did, thus exposing the worms who voted to keep her. Then perhaps the 61 could start operating as a separate caucus, separate from the Treason-GOP.
Yep. Gaetz and company should make the removal votes public. And do it soon. Launch a real revolt in the house.
Well this definitely makes it easier for me to divorce myself from the Republican Party.
Scalise stood tall with mccarthy tonight. Only 61 removal votes? NAMES, please!
I quit the repub party years ago for what is now called uniparty activity, and the fact that holding my nose so many times was becoming painful. I never voted for this evil witch once, and I apologize that my state has so many ignorant and apathetic voters that decided to vote for name recognition only.
I hope the guy who lives down the hill from me who had the Trump sign on one side of his fence, and the cheney sign on the other corner is ripping his hair out tonight. The repub party has a major problem, and I really dont think they will ever recover from that. The sky has a different color in their world: black.
jus wundrin, I for one have not forgotten how Steve Scalise of Louisiana came out just hours after the debacle at the Capitol harshly castigating Trump as the cause. So now we hear he is close to Lissy.
Louisiana is a state that voted for Trump and turned around and elected a democrat governor. I guess Stevie is hedging his bets, but it’s clear to me, he’s not our friend.
61 GOP members should leave the GOP. Switch to independent. DO IT!
We need to prove to the swamp we are done with them. DONE!
They think we are coming back. DONE!
Sadly, I doubt even one will leave the republicans, not even Gaetz.
The republicans always need people such as Gaetz to keep the tea party types engaged in false hope.
once again the republican party proves that the majority of people that vote for them are lemmings. when are people going to over the idea that because the democrats are bad that makes the republicans good?
Those 61 must identify themselves and leave the GOP.
Come join us in the MAGA movement. No party affiliation. Just a movement. Democrat voters are welcome.
Trump had many Ds voting for him.
I wouldn’t piss on the GOP if it was on fire. I could care less what anyone’s argument is.
GOP LAWMAKERS CHOOSE LIZ CHENEY OVER THEIR VOTERS: Never-Trumper Liz Cheney Holds Leadership Position in House GOP after Secret Ballot

GOP Lawmakers Give Marjorie Taylor Greene Standing Ovation at Republican Conference Meeting

Secret vote? BS. McCarthy must go. There should not be such a thing as a secrtet vote when we pay their salries for supposed representation. We have every right to know the vote. McCarthy just committed political suicide as far as I am concerned. If they are unwilling to publicaly display the vote, that is taxation w/o representation.
McCarthy should be getting rotten tomatoes thrown at him when he goes out in public.
Back when I was glued to Cspan watching the WS Bailout mess back in ’06/’07/’08, it was about 1/3 of the Rs who were against it.
Only 2 Dems were with them on that. It convinced me as a life long Dem voter to ditch the Dem Party. Because , basically 100% of the Dem Party was corrupt vs. 2/3 of the Repubs.
Looks like nothing has changed.
But, if decent Rs can’t take over the R Party, there’s gonna have to be a movement towards a new Party.
Cuz one Party 100% corrupt and the other 70% corrupt is not cutting it any more.
Make sure anyone who voted to keep Liz gets primaried. If he won’t tell, assume he did.
Liz must habe brought two makeup bags with her.
No, her puppet masters also fill the campaign coffers of the other House members. Senators too.
Good idea about asking your congressman.
The Uniparty strikes again.
And how are you going to do that when they voted with a “secret ballot”? Did you miss that part?
We’ll when we ask, certainly they’ll tell us the truth! /s
