The Bret Baier acolytes at Faux News and the Wall Street Journal (which is owned by the Murdoch bastards) wants Liz Cheney to become the next Attorney General of the United States or something. Yes, Merrick Garland is a complete and utter disgrace and disaster. But replacing him with Liz Cheney? The Fox hacks just can’t stand the fact that Trump ended the Cheney political dynasty.
What’s next from the Bret Baier hacks? Adam Kinzinger replacing Mark Milley for new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?
Now that Rep. Liz Cheney has lost her primary to a Trumpist Republican in Wyoming, it’s time for President Biden to consider appointing her to his cabinet. Political tensions have risen to new levels since the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Aug. 8 search of Mar-a-Lago. Bringing a Republican into the administration would cool partisan temperatures and unite the country in support of the rule of law.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt used this strategy when the U.S. divided sharply over how to respond to Hitler’s aggression. In June 1940, he appointed Henry Stimson and Frank Knox as secretaries of war and the Navy, respectively—demonstrating that stalwart Republicans would cross political lines to support FDR’s policy of aiding European democracies under threat of Nazi invasion. Republican leaders were enraged. But before long, the two appointees helped forge bipartisan congressional support for the president and worked with him to lead the allied forces to victory.
FDR’s decision was bold, especially given that it came a few months before a hotly contested presidential election. If partisan sentiments had prevailed, he could have lost the White House. Yet he put country over party and won re-election in November 1940.
