This is like Kisseneger voting for you. Only Kisseneger never personally shot anyone

It's one party bro.

I forget the speaker but there was a DNC so each painting this ghoul in a good light

[-] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 2 points 3 months ago

Only a person who thinks on a single axis could possibly believe the two parties are the same in any meaningful way. Reality is more complex than that.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 16 points 3 months ago

Yeah, not sure that's an endorsement you want.

[-] _wizard@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I heard a great multi-part series on NPR focusing on interviews right before his death. If I wasn't lazy or thought you'd actually be interested, I'd find em and link em. Here we are though.

Behind the Bastards has a 6-part show all about Kissinger. Dave and Gareth from The Dollop are guests, it was pretty enlightening to someone who grew up never really learning anything about Kissinger except that he was a behind the scene policy guy for decades.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 62 points 3 months ago

Okay, well if he keeps that I promise I'll make sure the last few drops of piss avoid his grave after he dies. But only the last few drops.

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

There’s a really good Dick pun to be made as a follow-up joke here, I just can’t think of it

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

He's Dick and he's a joke. Does that count?

[-] Nutteman@lemmy.world 51 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

What if he used his shotgun for good instead of evil

😌

Gary Whittington, the man he shot, was a Republican and major financial backer of both of George W. Bush's election campaigns.

So

[-] Wrench@lemmy.world 41 points 3 months ago

In true republican fashion, he didn't care until his own family was hurt by the MAGA cult. Typical.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 23 points 3 months ago

This is like Satan offering you a glass of water in hell and everyone patting him on the back for doing something good.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Well, I'll take the water, mind you. But he's still a shithead and a war criminal.

[-] toast@retrolemmy.com 18 points 3 months ago

... something something even war criminals right twice a day

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

That dude he shot was a friend of his so probably had it coming for one reason or another.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He shot a Republican donor lawyer.

It was the second time a sitting Vice President shot an attorney.

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 months ago
[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

I think this is more about MAGA canceling Liz Cheney than anything more principled.

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If it peels off never-Trump Haley voting Republicans from not voting to voting Harris when they see all these old-guard Republicans endorsing Harris... Then I guess the enemy of my enemy is my friend after all.

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Yeah but he is a RINO according to the maga standards.

I just hope the democrats keep these ghouls out of their party.. or they run the risk of them doing tot he democrat party what Trump did to theirs.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

"Anything to stop Batman!!! She's running against Batman, right? trump? Well fuck him too."

But seriously, war criminal.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Not helping.

[-] meeeeetch@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I'm sure he's got houses all over the country. Is he voting from Pennsylvania or Wyoming?

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

I wonder who Dan Quayle is voting for

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 3 points 3 months ago

Maybe I'm just that nagging pessimist everyone hates, but the more these complete-fucking-sociopaths publicly endorse Harris, the more I worry that the democratic platform will hold on to those voters and cling to the chauvinist policies they come with.

Sure, it's fun to watch Trump get ejected from his party like a parasite from a rectum, but this feels like one of those 'live long enough to see yourself become the villan' moments that I hope I'm wrong about.

[-] sebsch@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 months ago

I will never understand parents looking into a face of a newborn baby thinking:

That's a Dick!
