2022-08-18 Home Front: Politix

[UNHERD]

Liz Cheney’s thumping defeat in her bid for renomination for Wyoming’s sole seat in the House of Representatives signals again the utter and total defeat of the Bush-Cheney-Romney era of the Republican Party. The neoconservative period of GOP dominance ended when Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
trounced the field during the 2016 primary season. But the avatars of that political tendency — in favour of military adventurism and "free markets" — keep appearing like ghosts at the feast to rattle their chains and insist on being seated above the salt.

Reliably Trump-y until the January 6 riot at the Capitol, Representative Cheney about-faced to embrace every jot of the Democrats’ narrative regarding Trump’s alleged attempt to ignore the election results, dispense with the Constitution, and establish himself as a Caesar on the Potomac. After House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Nancy <q>San Fran Nan</q> Pelosi

Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
rejected the Republicans named to serve on her special committee to investigate the riot, she named Liz Cheney as a minority representative to preserve the appearance of bipartisanship. Cheney cheerfully accepted appointment as committee co-chair and embraced her role in the inquisition.

#2 Maybe the messaging, but I'd reckon the weapon transport and payment systems established over the last 14 years is still intact, if not maybe up for bid.

#3 Cheney's defeat was good news but I think Wyoming's population is too small to be considered representative of the whole country. Don't get cocky, kid. The fight is nowhere near being over.

#4 Indeed.

That said, there is some fantastic snark out there, plus some real questions like how did she make $36million in 6 years?

-rubs dirt with hands, grabs bat and aluminum helmet, steps up to plate-

Whatever the Neocon and WOT was before 2008, the election of Obama over McCain prompted that the current game, if it were to survive, had to adapt to the new political hegemony and its emphasis on covert, spec-ops, drone, and otherwise clandestine actions, rather than the up-front military action logistic suppliers. Originally approached as a political opponent, the Neocon syndicate convinced the inquisitors that they could be compatible with the new direction, eventually leading to various underground trade routes established, with a nexus point in Eastern Europe. Seeing these new routes opening drug trade Afghan/Europe, it was tapped to then supply weapons, training, logistics to what Arab Spring participants.

At its height, this structure ended up being something similar to owning all three green properties in Monopoly. Likely, it dipped down to something like the three light blues, until the dust off in Ukraine, now back to the greens.

She gets a commission for assisting to maintain and promote this trade bloc.

This bloc, however, was threatened by Trump policies. To maintain this bloc and know profits were to be had with a Protocols of Obama II, she jumped at the chance to show she was part of The Machine To Be. She was rewarded as such in various ways, but likely overestimated herself as one of The Circle, and would therefore receive election immunity, if you will.

It may just be Wyoming, but she is a cog, received plenty of inside help with the get out and switch party to vote, name endorsement including the lead actor in a current very popular program with a long pedigree, as well as financial and strategy infusions, early advertising on major stations, she was still resoundingly defeated even after a margin of cheat.

#5 She can and will try to do a lot of damage between and January.
