Fishback's Actions Made him Worth All of the NYT Editorial Staff ...

 put together...

On the day the paper runs the whistleblower's obit, an NYT editorial penned by Michelle Cottle tells the country Liz Cheney is the number one profile in courage the nation should be thankful for in the year of our Lord 2021...

God help us, they are ginning up to try and sell another unjust Mideast war! "Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran...", indeed.

These ladies, who are helping silence peaceful protestors and those who would honestly dissent daring to use their voices publicly, will be no match for the male neocon warhawks (think of Liz Cheney as a facade for her father...) with many wars still to sell.

Liz Cheney was not bravely loyal to her sister, her party or her country, when the chips were down.  Her actions this past year cannot be undone by Dems sprinkling dollars across the country and buying a false new narrative of unity.

If the NYT editorial staff is crawling into bed with the Cheney-Bush old establishment GOP, the American populists are not...

* Cue the Sneaky Snake story so many voters responded to in peacefully bringing about regime change at home.

Pray for who you like at your own tables this year, but I guarantee you Liz Cheney will not top the list in many American homes and few will raise a glass to her political "courage".

Added: Damn shame about Fishback too. Always a bright mind, he studied just war, lecturing and receiving higher ed degrees in recent years. 

Mental illness leading to confinement came on quickly, it seems, but then if you read it in the NYT, surely all their stories are vetted and true?

I only wish Ian Fishback might have been on Jake Tapper's private charitable gift list this past Nov. 11.  Maybe they could have comped him a half-hour Zoom call with Jonah Goldberg, the former lecturing the latter on Just War Theory 101, say...

(I don't think Michelle Cottle has done her homework and had the necessary prerequisites to sit in. She has one narrative to push -- Trump supporters are violent insurrectionists! -- and like a hungry dog with a juicy bone to pick in her pack, won't let go...)

* Shakin' my head... Liz.Cheney. Of all the sisters in power this past year whose courage she could have puffed... Diversity is dead, clearly, at the Times 

No dissent on record.
