Surprised by how many tears I am shedding as I read Liz's book "Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning." Her tone is forthright and unsentimental but somehow my heart is breaking over and over as I read.

Wow! A stunning statement coming from a person who I never could've imagined saying it although the message is very clear; country over party.

[bjohnson]

Thanks Liz for the American truth you tell! Respect

[sgladiadis]

[vikstankus]

Wow! A superb call to defend our American democracy. Thank you.

This is a patriot. Imagine the fallout she will receive for saying this. But she continues to say it. And we need to listen. And vote.

[stephaniescott]

Tell it Liz!! I respect you SO much! Thank you.

It is terrifying to read this and to hear what Liz Cheney said and saying. But it needs to be stated because we’re in trouble at the highest level. This is not about party it’s about leadership

[AnGflowersandgifts]

So scary this is happening, and crazy people are falling for this Man

[stoppinlook]

Why people don't take that seriously is not a mystery at all: Willful ignorance of unquestioning blind faith in someone they've chosen as their cult leader because that leader strokes their most base emotions is why.

There's nothing strong about bullies.

As a German 🇩🇪 I could not agree more with Alicia's assessment of political the current events and developments in the US 🇺🇸.
"Those who fall asleep in democracy will be rudely woken up in a dictatorship!"
History never (completely) repeats but it often rhymes.
Please, try to gleen something useful from the horrible and wrong choices and decisions my ancestors made! VOTE BLUE to keep Trump from Power and Office! 💙💙💙

[jenniferschramn]

The voice of reason!! Thank God for you!!
