Both House Republicans have raked in huge sums since they branded themselves as leaders of the anti-Trump wing of the party

Exile in the House GOP is proving extremely lucrative for Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

Cheney, who lost her slot as House GOP conference chair in May, hauled in close to $1.9 million in the last quarter, bringing her to nearly $3.5 million total this year. Only halfway through 2021, those fundraising numbers trounce the $3 million she raised during the 2020 cycle. Cheney's donations also surpassed her leadership successor's, with Rep. Elise Stefanik Newly-elected House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y.

Cheney’s team touted its haul, first reported by Fox News, as proof that she has “robust support in this fight” to win reelection in her state’s at-large district. Other Republicans waved off the idea that Cheney and Kinzinger are focused on anything beyond their House reelection bids. Rep. Don Bacon said he presumes Cheney and Kinzinger’s numbers mean they are “coming in with as much as ammo as possible to win reelection.”

"Either she needed to get rid of him because she wanted to be president ... or it was to settle a political score,” said Darin Smith, an attorney challenging Cheney in the GOP primary. “Because I think Trump is on record saying that the Cheney family is responsible for trillions of dollars blown by the United States and millions of lives lost around the world.”

More conservative, less crazy please GOP . Evidence that it can work right here

Meijer, Cheney and Hunziker are the only 3 GOP who will ever win a general Presidential election, ironically, they will have the hardest time in the primaries.

Don't chastise me for comparing Trump to Hitler. His own Joint Chiefs did it. He STILL controls the Party. And Republicans expect us to vote for them WHY?

As protests roil Cuba, Biden faces pressure to keep Trump policies despite campaign pledgeWith the Cuban government seemingly on the defensive amid historic street protests over high prices and food shortages, Biden may find it increasingly difficult to enact sweeping changes in U.S.-Cuba policy.

Dims love them some Commie dictators. They hope to emulate them.
