For some time now, Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney has been sniping at Donald Trump over some of his most idiotic policies and failures. It’s clear that she’s betting Trump will lose in November, and she’s trying to position herself for a leadership position in the post-Trump Republican Party.

The idiot just couldn’t leave her alone – and now he’s fighting a war on yet another front.
