Former Vice President Dick Cheney to make appearance at Trump fundraiser
by Carlin Becker
 | August 17, 2019 07:25 PM

Former Vice President Dick Cheney is set to appear alongside his daughter Rep. Liz Cheney at a fundraiser for the Republican National Committee and President Trump's 2020 reelection campaign on Monday.

The Jackson, Wyoming, fundraiser will also feature "special guests" and White House staffers Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and Mick Mulvaney. According to the Washington Post, the invitation for the event does not list the trio with their official titles. Rather, it clarifies that "their participation in the event is not a solicitation of funds" as federal law prohibits administration officials from campaigning.

The news comes as the former vice president has been critical of Trump's foreign policy moves, having pressed current Vice President Mike Pence on some of the president's isolationist stances as well as the administration’s hard line toward U.S. allies in NATO.

It is a very visible break with Bush family doings. Not necessarily surprising, except maybe to folks who imagined GWB was Darth Cheney's puppet.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I believe Liz Cheney has been defending Trump administration policies and showing support for Trump himself, too.

Seems many NeverTrumpers are reevaluating their opposition to Trump and coming aboard his re-election effort. Of course, there are still many others—dead-enders—who haven’t. Their virtue knows no bounds.

A dad is helping out his daughter, nothing more. The Trump faction of the Republican party currently rules and calls the shots. Liz is trying to stay viable within the party. Her seat in Wyoming is pretty safe, she must have her eyes set on something higher.

Or .... Applying Occam's razor:  Both Cheney's want to see President Trump reelected.  After all, this is a fundraiser for the President.

Not me, but I do like Liz Cheney, she is a fighter.  I don't like anyone that had anything to do with getting us into
that disaster of a war in Iraq.

Cheney gave Obama that look. Well, Iraq might have some disasters to it but the biggest disaster was pulling our troops out in 2011. I think Cheney knows that at least, Iraq has gotten a lot better in the preceding 2-3 years.

Why do I hear echoes of "Halliburton" in my ears? :shrug:

Those echoes can be traced back to the removal of Jay Garner as Director of the Office for Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance for Iraq, a mere month after being named to the position. Bush and Cheney didn't like it when LTG (retired) Garner announced his preference to return Iraq to the Iraqi people as soon as possible: "it's their country."

   Probably not @Sanguine He's been pretty quite in this Age of Trump and I'm OK with that.

I'm hoping that Dick will pull Donny aside and have a talking to him about the 2A!

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Again with the heads exploding.  I don't know about other people but Cheney isn't on my mind as someone to get excited about.  And it doesn't fit with Trumps previous comments about the war.

Yeah, having Cheney appear anywhere certainly isn't anything to get excited about....

A mixed blessing, fer sure.

The only connection I could make from Trump to Liz Cheney is gay rights.
