Social Dick Cheney has died

I have to point this out for sherdog comedic effect...

...but it's finally something bipartisan that the majority here seem to agree on -- Dick Cheney and the grim reaper -- workin' across aisles to unite the place.

Almost heartwarming to see people comin' together. Props to the reaper-man for doing his part, even with the government shut down -- and his 2 little baby reapers at home running low on food.

Death is the great equalizer, my man. It brings all the boys to the yard.

Lots of grave spitting, huh?

Calling people that disagree with you "evil" is a good way to bury your head in the sand about the complexities of life and live in a simple world where you see yourself as omniscient (when truly you are just another slob with an opinion); you don't then have to legitimately try to put yourself in their shoes and understand why they feel the way they do. Creating this fairy tale world where everyone who disagrees with you is "the bad guy" seems to be all the rage these days, so much arrogance about beliefs and opinions.

I didn't agree with Cheney's ideas and policies for the most part, but like you, me, and nearly everyone else- he believed his own life narratives and opinions were true and good. Aside from psychopaths (who can hurt others without shame or remorse), that's pretty much true of everyone.

Yeah, sure, and the left are so singularly hyper focused on Trump, that they'll literally welcome anybody into the fold, as long as they say the magic words of "Orange Man Bad". Your leaders will celebrate their endorsements and even campaign with them, LOL.

That’s your sick burn? That Dems are willing to build coalitions with Republicans who realize we are a better option than MAGA, or collaborate with people that we have some policy differences with us?
<22>

I LOLed at the idea that dorks wearing red hats, “I’m Voting for the Felon” t-shirts, gold shoes, carrying Trump bibles, pockets full of meme coins thinking we are too hyper-focused on Trump. Holy shit <lol>

If someone's life narratives and opinions lead to a disastrous occupation that kills hundreds of thousands, I think it's ok to be a a little judgey and call them a bad person.

Really proved he is a good person when he rallied with his daughter to take on Trump. Uniting with Pelosi to save democracy world wide. RIP to a hero

Cause of death was pneumonia and cardiac disease

Couldn’t unite over democracy, decency, or being against :eek::eek::eek::eek:philes but one war criminal dies and suddenly it’s bipartisan harmony.

Does this look like a joke? Just look at the MSNBC video I posted, celebrating him as a true patriot, that he defined patriotism, a honest person, one of the few able to call balls and strokes as they are, and a servant of democracy. A truly remarkable American figure, the definition of America itself

Yeah, and the majority of Dems voted to authorize war in Iraq to set that up and were complicit in maintaining the occupation; loads of civilians were killed by drone bombing by Obama in the continuation of that war (Mosul?). There are a variety of perspectives in looking at and chopping up who is responsible for these things. We like to blame those we disagree with, but that's because it feels good, that doesn't mean it's honest. I don't think it's wrong to opine that someone is a bad person, but to demonize them as evil is another thing. Not only is it irrational because people are complicated, but it's also divisive, which I don't think we need.
 
RIP.

Terrible VP but the man played the game as he saw fit and reached a level of power never seen before for a VP.
