    Wishing some men dead is perfectly reasonable

    When it comes to criminally corrupt untouchables, actually murdering them is perfectly reasonable.

    Obviously I'd prefer for them to rot in prison for life, but murdering a murderer to stop them from murder is completely justified, and I'm tired of everyone acting like it's not.

    I just want them gone. I don't care if death is how they get there. Society can just turn on them and have their assets siezed as they rapidly fade into obscurity, or they can be tossed in a jail and largely left to rot, save for some cases of extreme reconditioning.

    I won't wish death on anyone. But sometimes, it does feel like the most readily accessible means to a good end.

    And quite a lot of the blame for setting up the republicans to embrace Trumpism.

    Eh, he was a continuation of what Papa Bush did with Reagan...

    And that is almost exactly what Cheney did with Lil Bush, and Miller is doing with trump now.

    Whether or not Cheney was pulling the strings while Reagan was in office... I'm not sure, but I'd say it was ex-CIA director Papa Bush who came up with this scheme.

    The oath is important and sounds good. But it's also extremely simplistic. No definition of what "enemy" means. For the armed forces, maybe you could say said enemies would be those attacking and occupying territory.

    We're not paying them to attack the people who won the last election. You have a problem with that, you should talk to the 10 million or so people that made that happen. Trump didn't take over in a coup, we handed him the country.

    What a great man. "We couldn't call it torture so we named it 'enhanced interrogation' instead hahaha." "Waterboarding was very effective hahaha".

    War criminal that was not convicted because he was fucking american. Nevertheless, he is war criminal that USA will give him "honours". I gues killing children is honourable thing to do in USA.

    When Patrick Leahy accused the former Halliburton CEO of rigging gigantic no-bid contracts for the company in Iraq, Cheney responded, “Fuck yourself.” He later called the exchange “the best thing I ever did.”

    Cheney may be gone, and good riddance, but the cauldron of hate and greed that he helped to create still governs America.

  • source
  • [–] 2 points 1 year ago

    I honestly don't get how he lived this long. It was so obvious that he and Bush lied us into the war in Iraq. If my son or daughter was killed over there or massively injured, I would have made it my mission to kill the guys who lied and profited off of it. I'm not advocating for that, it just seems a logical consequence of those actions.

    Somewhere between half a million people and 5 million people died as a consequence of that lie and the invasion. Cheney is a piece of shit and there is a lake of blood that this guy is responsible for. I only wish there was a hell for him to go to.
