War criminal Warmonger War profiteer
Another log for the fires of hell
I like my Lemmy feed's sense of timing 😁
Oh, I assumed both were posted after his death

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.
Good.
He was an evil excuse for a man.

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’.
He underwent a successful heart transplant in 2012.
I'm an organ donor, but my ghost-self would be so mad if I died and my heart went to Dick fucking Cheney.
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 absolutely did not say that, but the internet will make me say anything.

Don't let the smouldering descent hit your ass on the way out!
...now do the people actively destroying our country, please.
Be the change you want to see in the world. Don't let your dreams be memes
There's a 100% chance that would result in me being killed without actually accomplishing any service to our country.
The wild part is we've got an entire military full of people who do have the means to make it happen, and are oath-bound to defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic... but instead of acting on their oath, they just keep following the domestic enemy's orders like good little Nazis.
If one of those folks could actually do the job our tax dollars are paying them to...
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.
Not really necessary to apply some special meaning to it. He acts in a way that consistently and deliberately does harm to our nation. Winning an election vs not is moot - it doesn't matter (in the context of whether or not he's an enemy) how he came into power, what matters is what he's done with that power, which has been to divide our nation, sever our ties to our allies, destroy our economy, weaken our rights, and strengthen our other enemies.
Per our military's own standards, that makes him a legitimate tactical target the same as any other enemy combatant or their chain of command.
Yea it's simplistic - that's by design. On paper, even your run of the mill e-nothing grunt should be able to figure this out. ...and it's not that they can't figure it out; their either too cowardly to act on it, or are also traitors and gleefully complicit in our country's nose dive.
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.
Lol.
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.
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.
