That's an understatement
Too little too late.
Rest in piss.
Hate him, like him, it's irrelevant. He did an excellent job educating and training Liz.
"I have never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."
--Abraham Lincoln
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.
As per tradition, Rolling Stone's article: ‘Dick Cheney, Iraq war architect and “War on Terror” mastermind, dead at 84’.
From the producers of ‘Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America’s Ruling Class, Finally Dies’ and ‘Henry Kissinger, Notorious War Criminal, Lauded By Media’.

"I have never killed a man, but I have read many an obituary with great pleasure" - Clarence Darrow.
This appears to be almost a quote from Clarence Darrow which has been misattributed to multiple other historical figures over the years.
Is this the standard maneuver for this? Have I been doing it wrong all this time?
Keeping your thumb out helps them reach moral superiority.
My day's already off to a good start.
He really deserves most of the blame for what happened under lil bush...
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.
I like my Lemmy feed's sense of timing 😁

Be the change you want to see in the world. Don't let your dreams be memes
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.
Is the guy he shot in the face still alive?
Actually according to the hunting guide staff the person who shot that guy was a 20yo hooker. Dick was just covering for her.
Aww, poor baby. Taken too soon. He’d just gotten old enough to qualify for presidency too!
Toilets and papers to his families.

What a great man. "We couldn't call it torture so we named it 'enhanced interrogation' instead hahaha." "Waterboarding was very effective hahaha".
Sad that this war criminal never had to pay for his crimes.
I thought the weight of the world felt slightly lighter when I woke up this morning.
You all, that was definitely a peanut. There's no way that guy went on his own from natural causes...not at the ripe age of 84!
He really had the appropriate name given to him.
My family in east coast says local news station they watch was spamming this instead of putting up something about voting even though they're literally voting today.
One of the key architects of the legal authorities that Trump is exploiting.
I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.
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.”
15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudi Arabian. None were from Iraq, Iran, or Afghanistan.
Cheney may be gone, and good riddance, but the cauldron of hate and greed that he helped to create still governs America.
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.
