The guy is dead, so this is the moment to remember him for his best attributes.
I loved how the right people hated him and he lived rent free in their heads for the better part of a decade.
Oh, no….. Anyway.
The universe rebalances itself for Charlie Kirk.
“He had family with him.” It took all of them to hold the pillow down.
When I read that subhead, my first thought was the old joke about, “I want to die in my sleep, like my grandfather — not screaming, like the others on his bus.”
anything he did wrong…thats life
but anything he did in a patriotic manner..we salute him
I didn’t mind him at first – all vice-presidents are fungible – until he had his change of heart.
I didn’t care for him after that.
It was never a change of heart. It was a loss of party.
It will be fun to watch the MSM praise him and say what a great statesman he was comparted to that Nazi Trump and his MAGA thugs.
He is dead so they have always
been at war with Eastasiathought he was a great guy and very statesmanlike. This will be easy since he didn’t like Trump.Sorry to hear that he’s dead. I’ll leave it at that.
Around 2002, Dick Cheney latched on the idea that public health is a national security issue. Fauci and Birx and that whole crew were just following his example.
Fox is loving on him
Somehow Democrats will still be able to claim that he is the power behind the WH. They think dead people can vote!
Well, he’ll probably vote D from here on out.
in Democratic areas dead people DO vote
sometimes more then once …
Although obituaries identify Cheney as a rock-ribbed Republican, of course he became a progressive Democrat in the last ten years of his life.
Cheney suffered from heart disease for decades and fell out of favor among many Republicans in the Trump era, even famously casting a vote in the 2024 election for Democrat Kamala Harris after a long feud with America’s 47th president.
He was a left fascist at the end
Voting got Harris lol
He had a change of hearts but not of heart. The death of any person is sad but he left behind a path of sorrow for many as going too far to create what couldn’t be created in Afghanistan and Iraq. His last years were … not much.
In the last few years of his life, I suspect he was suffering from vascular dementia. For the past 7 years, the family kept him under wraps, he gave no interviews and his daughter spoke on his behalf via written statements. I’m not just throwing that out there to excuse anything he did in office but we have a history of family members speaking and voting on behalf of former politicians who were no longer able to speak for themselves.
In a “secure and undisclosed location” I assume?
I was a huge supporter of Dick Cheney for so many years. He was the one in the Bush administration who I trusted (along with Rumsfeld) and the reason behind my 2000 vote for Bush, to begin with. He was a rock and a patriot.
And then his daughter, Liz, went nuts when Trump ran in 2016 – completely unhinged, lunatic insane – and she only got worse. At first, Dick didn’t say much … but he gave in, finally, in 2022 and cut a couple of idiotic commercials that would sully his legacy and negate all of the good he had done. It was a blunder of monumental proportions – though he was expressing the views of his idiot daughter and the rest of the Bush scum (many of whom had supported and cheered on Barky). – that destroyed a lifetime of good service. Bad move and one of the great political disappointments of all time.
He didn’t quite make it to the McCain category in mind.
That’s probably fair. Read the book An Enormous Crime: The Definitive Account of American POWs Abandoned in Southeast Asia. Two names come up again and again in the fight to prevent the recognition of the abandonment of US service personnel left behind as POWs – John Kerry and John McCain. Both POS.
But it may be fair only because he never had an issue like the POW sandal to deal with. I can’t say with any confidence that he wouldn’t have fallen in line like McCain.
IMHO Trump changed the status quo ..
he cost the Bushes and the Cheneys
money and influence… and they hated him
for it …
One should not speak ill of the dead….let’s remember Dick Cheney who was, at all times, a mammal.
On January 7th, 1991, Cheney canceled the Navy A12 program that was being done by General Dynamics in Fort Worth, Texas (Now Lockheed-Martin Aeronautics) out of the blue. On that day 14,000 people were laid off immediately because of the way Cheney did it. The program was a science experiment in stealth aircraft development. It was delayed and over budget because it was out on the edge of the known and maybe should have been shut down. However, it should have been phased down as is normally done. I went to work at Lockheed-Martin Aeronautics 11 years later and they still talked about it.
