I’m surprised he never got the Nobel Peace Prize: he’s right up there with Kissinger as one of the worst piece of shit war criminals in history, so he should have gotten one too.

“Thanks, Cheney” - sincerely, Kamala Harris.

we can just let him die in obscurity. No reason to linger on his corpse.

Dingdong The Dick is Dead!

What was even the point of all this?
I grew up, was a youngster during 911.

Other than making a handful of people money, none of this made sense.
The wars in Irak Afghanistan were very costly to the US.
I guess people in Irak can vote now, that’s about it.

The wars were costly to the American taxpayers and soldiers (and their families). But it was very lucrative if you were invested in Halliburton, Blackrock, etc. Huge, huge transfer of wealth with almost no accounting done.

Cheney was the progenitor of the unitary executive theory that has allowed Donald Trump to fully realize fascism in the US.

If there is a Hell, Cheney is in one of the premium seats directly beneath Satan’s anus.

Paid for by Americans. Americans can’t talk shit when they paid for his actions. Fuck the bullshit he did, but admit that you paid for as an American.

My friend, we are well aware.

Geez…how did she feel about Adolf Hitler?

Jesus, you guys were well and truly fucked both ways on election day

He was an evil man. But at least he never pretended to be anything else.

It’s the American way after all.
