The demise of America politically is startling , 50 odd Senators offering slavish obedience to a Moron speaks volumes and is beginning to show the rest of the world how far out of touch with reality they really are, shackling millions to a country that is falling apart infrastructure wise , as well as morally and ethically .
Forgetting that their phrase Millions voted for him and it was stolen shows sheer incompetence with a Population of over 310 million their votes are a lot less than a third . Watching it and reading the press releases by various prgrammes and papers , tells me America is going to the dogs .

Proof the Liz Cheney Ouster Is Not a Big Deal Is Found Looking at Who’s Making It a Big Deal
Following the vote to remove Liz Cheny from her leadership role in Congress, try picturing all of the anger and hysteria that was found on the conservative news networks. The level seen of the mixture of rage, catharsis, and unbridled adulation would impress most who witnessed it.

That is, if it had actually taken place.
- “Today is important and will actually be marked in the history books as a measurable turning point for this troubled party.” - Ari Melber, MSNBC

- "There hasn’t been a day in recent memory when the entire charade of what’s happening within the leadership of the Republican Party was laid so bare," - Anderson Cooper, CNN

- “House Rs didn’t just depose Liz Cheney they handed her a megaphone to remind voters of how beholden the party still is to Trump.” - Jonathan Martin, New York Times

- “Years from now we may look back on this day and realize that it was actually an important turning point for democracy. ” - Glenn Kirschner, NBC News

everyone crying about it does not matter . same is true here . LOL

IS LIZ CHENEY A VICTIM OF THE CANCEL CULTURE?
The cancel culture isn’t about politicians and political figures losing jobs because their views on political matters, or their stridency, don’t mesh with those who select them. Politicians have no right — legal, moral, or otherwise — to hold a particular office. Nor is personal freedom, including freedom of expression, diminished when officeholders lose out based on their stances on the issues of the day.

That’s a lot of what politics is about — taking positions and facing the consequences, happy or unpleasant.

Victims of the cancel culture are mainly non-politicians who lose their job or are punished in some other way for expressing their views on public policy or the events of the day. An actress removed from a show because of her political expression is a classic example.

Politicians fall victim to the cancel culture when they are prevented from expressing or disseminating their views. Being kicked off of social media can be viewed as cancellation, for example.

But no one is preventing Liz Cheney from disseminating her views about Donald Trump. She seems to be doing so non-stop.

SNL Cruelly Mocks Liz Cheney Despite Diehard Never-Trump Virtue Signaling
an unlikeable oddball appealing only to a fringe of elitist Republicans, despite her months of virtue signaling to leftists by trashing former President Donald Trump.

Republicans weigh in on Liz Cheney and direction of GOP — CBS News poll
Eighty percent of Republicans who'd heard about the vote agree with Cheney's removal — they feel she was off-message, unsupportive of Mr. Trump, and that she's wrong about the 2020 presidential election. To a third of them, and most particularly for those who place the highest importance on loyalty, Cheney's removal also shows "disloyalty will be punished."
