Never did I think I’d see the day the media would love a Cheney. Dick Cheney the war criminal was basically the devil when W was president, and the media hated and him and his family almost at the levels they hate Trump today. Yet suddenly the Cheney family are darlings of the communist media, especially Liz Cheney. You know, since she is so obsessed with Trump and January 6th like the media is, they can’t get enough of her. The New York Times loves her so much, they want her to replace Kamala Harris in 2024. The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman floated this idea, based on the Israeli election system:
Is that what America needs in 2024 — a ticket of Joe Biden and Liz Cheney? Or Joe Biden and Lisa Murkowski, or Kamala Harris and Mitt Romney, or Stacey Abrams and Liz Cheney, or Amy Klobuchar and Liz Cheney? Or any other such combination. Before you leap into the comments section, hear me out.
In June, after an utterly wild period in which Israel held four national elections over two years and kept failing to produce a stable governing majority, the lambs there actually lay down with the lions.
Key Israeli politicians swallowed their pride, softened policy edges and came together for a four-year national unity government — led by rightist Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and left-of-center Alternate Prime Minister Yair Lapid. (They are to switch places after two years.) And for the first time, an Israeli Arab party, the Islamist organization Raam, played a vital role in cementing an Israeli coalition.
What forced everyone’s hand? A broad agreement that Israeli politics was being held hostage by then-Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, who resisted putting together any government that he would not lead, apparently because, if he didn’t lead, he could lose his chance at some kind of immunity from prosecution on multiple corruption charges that could lead to prison.
Sound familiar?
