    I never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.

  2. Are MAGAts going to cancel everyone who celebrates this or does this fall under the “Trump hated him so mocking his death is perfectly acceptable” exception?

    In the Bush administration, what became clear was that Cheney and Rumsfeld were running the executive branch as Bush was seen as an lacking intelligence while being a controllable figure needed to win the election. And the legacy of that time created ramifications that we’re still feeling today. President Bush, to his credit, began to realize his status in the second term and his relationship with both men faded into mutual frustration. Cheney is a notable political figure in American politics, but that legacy is not one I’d celebrate. My condolences to those who loved him.

    Careful now everyone. He was a Republican so that means we have to ignore his lifetime of abject evil and treat him like a national hero now.

    Remember when Cheney was the most evil man in politics…and now he seems so quaint compared to what we have now

  6. I remember when Cheney was the worst villain in town, then this fucknut said “hold my beer “.

  7. The news seller replied “sir the obituaries are on page 9”

    “not the one I’m looking for,” the old man said

    I wish Cheney was still the most evil name in politics ~ alas, even he could not keep up.

    This man is single-handedly responsible for turning the Executive Office into the bastion of the “unitary executive” that we have today. If not for his constitution-shredding, war-crime committing administration, we would not have Trump today. Good riddance.

    “Deficits don’t matter” = +10 trillion to the federal debt. Current federal debt: $38 trillion

    He blatantly lied to the people and used 9-11 as an excuse to get us into a useless illegal war that turns into a costly insurgency in the Middle East. The head of al qaeda, the terrorist enemy that was responsible for 9-11 which started the whole thing in the first place becomes the president of Syria and we’re all friends now. “Meanwhile, bin laden stated his objectives publicly – to destroy the United States you have to hurt their economy. They will over extend and waste their treasure and resources.” Sure enough bush was stupid enough to take the bait and be the big tough guy in the Middle East while Cheney and Rumsfeld are egging him on to attack Iraq. Cheney was entirely responsible for pushing questionable cia evidence to where even the cia itself was very uncomfortable with how its information was presented. All of it was to convince the American people that saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons and was somehow responsible for 9-11 when it was. Really the saudis (our allies). The public was absolutely convinced and that was the first time that I had felt the country was really veering off and handling the war on terror the wrong way. Now here we are $38 trillion in debt because useless misadventures in the Middle East. Did we win the war on terror or did bin Laden? I blame $10 trillion wasted because of dick Cheney.

    I feel bad for Liz Cheney for losing a father but this guy, he caused so much harm to the country by spending so much treasure on nonsense he didn’t understand. The worst part was that the American public was so traumatized by 9-11 – they needed better leadership. Consciously exploiting that trauma so they could start a war of their choice was dumb and evil. For me, his death is the closing of a great unfairness to the American people that I really don’t know if people are aware of. Now because of the precident the Iraq war unleashed, presidents can Willy nilly start a war over any bullshit. I fear for our country in a useless war with Iran and a stupid conflict over Taiwan. We really need to update our foreign policy than play out echoes of the Cold War that don’t make sense anymore.

  12. Oh no…
