A bit more than four months until Cheney is toast.

The Jan. 6 hearings attracted 20 million live viewers on opening night, 11 million for the next session and nearly 9 million for Thursday's third installment.
Those yardsticks don't begin to measure the true reach of what is said there.
Memorable moments are sliced for quick consumption on countless news programs, comedy shows and online.
It's the first congressional hearing in memory that seems specifically designed with modern media needs, said Jeff Jarvis, City University of New York journalism professor.
There are already breakout moments.
GIULIANI AND ALCOHOL
Liz Cheney says Rudy Giuliani had too much to drink before advising Trump on election night 2020.
Hours after the allegation was made, clips were featured in the monologues of top-rated late-night comics Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel.
BARR'S REALITY
William Barr's recorded testimony that he found Trump “detached from reality” with some of his claims about election fraud was the lead in several news stories. It was a vivid and disturbing image of a former president.
DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW
Filmed testimony from Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner has been particularly potent.
A clip of Ivanka Trump saying she trusted Barr’s assessment of the fraud allegations amassed more than 1.6 million views in an Instagram post published by The Shade Room, a media outlet that focuses on celebrity entertainment.
NEW STAR
Previously little-known, former White House attorney Eric Herschmann has become a breakout star for his filmed testimony concerning his conversations with John Eastman, architect of Trump's failed maneuvering to hold onto power.
Herschmann recalls saying “are you out of your effing mind?” when Eastman talks the day after the Capitol riot about a potential appeal of Georgia election results.
Recognizing the testimony's potential impact, Cheney released it on Twitter the day before it was prominently featured in the hearing.

Cheney's prosecutor-like outline of the committee's case at the top of its only prime-time hearing drew wide attention..
"Tonight, I say this to our Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone — but your dishonor will remain,” she said.
The Associated Press' tweet with video of Cheney making that remark has been seen more than 1 million times.
Someday, depending on how history regards the events of Jan. 6, 2021, it may wind up the moment most recalled, like when it was revealed during the Watergate hearings that John Dean has warned Richard Nixon about a “cancer on the presidency.” Robert Thompson, director of Syracuse University’s Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture said.
“I see that as the classic quote,” Thompson said.
“We have soundbites. So, we win.”
In her pea-sized RAT brain - rent free.
David Bauder, an extraordinary boot licker. Not a journalist.
“Tonight, I say this to our Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone — but your dishonor will remain,” she said.
There will be a time very soon, Ms Cheney, when you are gone and forgotten except when the word traitor is used.
Nobody but hardcore Democrats watched their little Stalinesque show trial. Nobody cares what they have to say.
I want to know when Colbert and his crew of violent extremist miscreants is going to jail for the INSURRECTION of June 16th. After all. THEY VIOLENTLY invaded the capital and almost DESTROYED our democracy. Can you imagine the FEAR and TERROR of the people inside who were subjected to the horror of the day? And Colbert PLANNED this. A PRE-PLANNED INSURRECTION.
A bit more than four months until Cheney is toast.
Associated Press, a democrat propaganda operation.
Silly article. Nothing in it even remotely referenced evidence of improper, much less criminal action by President Trump. Just tabloid level gossip. Rudy had too much to drink election night. Wow that’s a real bombshell.
I don’t believe that I will ever think about “The moments resonating from the Jan. 6 hearings (so far)” without recalling Tucker’s opening comments last night and his follow up interview with Julie Kelly...

Don’t forget to add Rep. Adam Schiff let them in. He is definitely an insurrectionist if there ever was one. 🙂
“ There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone — but your dishonor will remain”
Applies perfectly to Cheney and the other Trump haters.
Well...Since you posted this crap, do you agree or disagree with Lizard Cheney?
