Dick Cheney Is Dead

Well, him and Charlie are having a barbeque together now, if their religion is true.

Come on yourself!!
Making fun of the last liberal Republican … sheesh.
I didn’t see how he died tho … did he shoot himself in the face or something?

How bad is Trump? People don't think Cheney is as bad a guy these days because of how bad Trump has been. Cheney was despised, yet people are thinking, well, at least he did have his Grinch heart moment.

I don't agree with this line of reasoning. It's rather similar to "other people have it worse, so I should feel good about my life". It's also the same type of reasoning some people in abusive relationships use. "Well, they're not as bad as my ex, so I guess I'll stay".

OMG...he used a shotgun to shoot quail. Big white hunter!!! Lewis Black said Cheney was going to hunt rabbits with multiple sclerosis next.

I'm not saying Cheney should be held in good regard. Just that Trump has lowered the bar so low, even Dick Cheney can sneak across it.

Honestly, the Trump Admin is merely using the anti-Democratic progress made under W.

Sure, but (what people fail to realize) is not having higher standards is one of the reasons why Trump gets away with so much. It results in a vicious cycle.

Cheney had a few good qualities. He supported gay marriage, he loved his kids and grandkids and he supported Harris and criticized Trump in the last election. Other than that, he was a total asshole who got us into two totally unnecessary wars where innocent people were killed, some people were tortured and thousands of American soldiers died. There are a lot of other bad things I could say about him, but that's enough for now. Ironically, when he was VP, he tried to push for increasing presidential power, but he criticized Trump for abusing his power. He had something like 12 heart attacks and who but someone as powerful as this dick would get a heart transplant in such a short time?

There was an atheist who posted on WaPo in the comment section this morning who wrote something like, it's times like this that I wish the mythological hell was real. Ai on WaPo refused to allow my post. It was something like, okay one Dick is dead but we still have a dick leading the country. WTF Ai!

No one gets out of here alive. For some reason, I thought he had already passed away.

I have empathy for his family. But that’s it.
I knew he was still alive but wondered how he had made it to 84, considering all of his cardiac problems. Perhaps if we all had the type of medical care that someone like Dick did, we'd all have a longer life expectancy. Of course, that won't happen. For one thing we don't have enough health care professionals to care for all of our citizens even if we had UHC.
 
The safe in Cheney's office was described as a "man-sized Mosler safe." I don't think even Bob Woodward knows what was inside it. Could've been Amelia Earhart, but more likely the CIA analyst with definite proof that there were no WMDs in Iraq. Now we'll probably never know.
 
Several years ago, Halliburton hired me as a consultant. As I was waiting in the lobby of the Denver Haliburton office for a meeting, my eyes were assailed by a large framed picture of the man, and a glossy coffee table book all about everything Cheney.

:sick:

Yeah, I think that Cheney was a really bad guy and will even go so far as to say that he helped lay the groundwork for Trump’s rise, although that was not his intention. He saw the world in black and white and dollar signs and power. Morality, right and wrong never figured into the equation. Just power. Which he thought was right for the US to wield no matter the cost to individuals, countries, regions or the world. The popular depiction of him as Darth Vader was quite apt. Those who call him a war criminal are correct.
