Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning | Liz Cheney

pick

As a Canadian, American politics over the last 8 years has been both fascinating and scary. Behavior that would never have been accepted from politicians before seems to have become commonplace and many seem to have no integrity. I don't agree with all of Cheney's politics, but really admire her bravery for standing up for the truth and share her fear for the next election. The book was a riveting read that I finished in two days. 4.5/5 stars!

Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning | Liz Cheney

I don‘t think anything in here was new, really, but having it all laid out, clearly and emphatically, was impressive. I don‘t agree with Cheney‘s politics, but I can admire the courage of her convictions in this instance. My dad recommended this book; he said it was “probably the most overwhelming book” he‘s ever read. I recommend it if you can stomach more politics and a lot of Trump. It‘s a good reminder of what we stand to lose later this year.

dabbe I feel like I'll be holding my breath until the second week of November. 😱 4mo

Suet624 I really wish this Trump nightmare was over. 4mo

ravenlee @dabbe no joke. @Suet624 I just don‘t know what it‘s going to take to get him out of the running for good. It‘s scary the way he won‘t go away. And I worry about the next generation of this type, too, because it won‘t just disappear. 4mo

Suet624 @ravenlee do you get notes from Jessica Craven “Chop Wood, Carry Water”? She‘s on Substack. Very clear ideas on day to day things you can do to elect Dems. On Sunday she lets you know all the good things that happened politically which is always lovely to see. 4mo

ravenlee @Suet624 I didn‘t know about that, thank you! I read Heather Cox Richardson every day and it‘s amazingly informative but not always inspiring. 4mo

Suet624 I read Heather‘s column too. If you don‘t mind I‘ll add two others that have been very helpful and often hopeful to me. They are both on Substack. Check out Robert Hubbell and Simon Rosenberg (his is called Hopium Chronicles). You can select the free edition. Over time I decided to pay for them because they both offered me so much. Hubbell includes an audio if you prefer to listen. 4mo
