USA Today Editorial Says Republicans Are Bigger Threat Than 9/11 Hijackers After Cheney Ouster
[DAILYCALLER] Rep. Liz Cheney’s ouster proved Republicans are a bigger threat than the 9/11 hijackers who killed thousands of Americans, according to a USA Today editorial.
Umm... Threat to what?
The removal of Cheney from her leadership position suggests that the GOP has endorsed election fraud conspiracy theories, USA Today editor David Mastio wrote in a Thursday editorial. Endorsing such conspiracy theories, which allege that President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?...
didn’t actually win the election, poses a bigger threat to the U.S. than 9/11 hijackers ever did, he said.

"The fact that the majority of Republicans believe our election was stolen is a sure sign that more violence is to come," Mastio wrote, according to USA Today.

"After 9/11, the leaders, financiers and backers of the turbans had had their one shot at tearing America down," he said. "Their only hope was to hide in caves and pray we wouldn’t find them. After Jan. 6, the leaders, financiers and backers of the insurrection feel no such fear."

Cheney has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
and of allegations that the 2020 election was stolen. The Wyoming Republican Party censured Cheney after she voted to impeach Trump over his alleged incitement of the Capitol riot.

Republicans voted to oust Cheney from her position as conference chair, the third-highest ranking position in the House GOP caucus, on Wednesday. Rep. Elise Stefanick, a Trump ally, was elected as Cheney’s replacement on Friday.

#5 Truly a substance free editorial. Accuse your opponents of being conspiracy freaks (why, you must be craaaazy!), make a bogus assertion of continued violence (hey, what about BLM & Antifa, huh?), and the belief that your political opponents are comparable to Islamic nutbags intent on death and nothing else.

Some things shall not be challenged, or questioned.

#6 Our local newspaper of record was bought out by USA Today (Gannett Publishing) a few years back. It has sucked big time ever since. We dumped it shortly after they turned left.

This headline likening the Cheney ouster to the 911 hijackers is not a great surprise.

#7 Solution: .68 cal paintball Claymore that can be attached to front bumper, grill, roof rack that can be rudimentarily camo'd as fog lights. Replace paintballs with pepperballs. Each mine is armed with 22 balls. Be sure to pay the few extra $ for the remote triggers.

#10 Lots of "missing" ballots in the Maricopa County recount, up to 17.5% missing in individual pallets. That's before any canvassing for invalid mail in ballots. Yet, the Republicans the the real threat to "democracy".

Same here in my Middle eastern GA. area.
Gannett Publishing purchased the newspaper laid off a lot of local staff and start using Inter-Sate and International resources to put the paper out and website together.

USA Today (Gannett Publishing) subscribers and renewals dropped to such a LOW number. That they have been offering 6 months for $1 ... yes one ($1).

Pre Gannett Publishing, the Augusta Chronicle use to have an great paper with a open but monitored Public comment section on any article except (AP) articles.

That also quickly ended with the take over by Gannett Publishing.

Then it was constantly select for publication ANTI-TRUMP letters to the Editor and Anti-Conservative Rants and Raves. Then no public comments allowed.

Given how many 100's of outlets USA Today - Gannett Publishing owns, it seem like a Lawyer looking for $$$$$ would file a ANTI-TRUST suit and restriction of trade by Monopoly.
