Only in the Trump era. Only in the Trump era.

Who could possibly have predicted that in 2020-2021, as the Trump-era wound down, thank our God in heaven, that the Cheney family (Liz’s father surely followed his brave daughter’s lead) that the Cheneys would be a Democratic ally in the fight for the preservation of fundamental democracy?

Gym Jordan on Jan. 6 as the mob of rioters reached and broke through the barriers to the U.S. Capitol building.

On Jan. 7, Liz Cheney, then the number three Republican in the House before her subsequent demotion for recognizing what Romney did not, recalled what had happened on Jan. 6. Talking with Joint Chief of Staff Chair Mark Milley, who is one of the adults in the room who Leonnig and Rucker depend on in their reporting and cast as something of a hero, Cheney ripped into “That f***ing guy Jim Jordan.
