Dick Cheney, America’s most powerful modern vice president and chief architect of the “war on terror,” who helped lead the country into the ill-fated Iraq war on faulty assumptions, has died, according to a statement from his family. He was 84.
Fuck that bitch
Thank fucking entropy.
May all his organ donors finally rest in peace.
A surprising one. Strange.
'member the ole days when they were just evil.
When they committed their evil outside of the country on foreign soil where it didn’t directly affect you
You are making an assumption on what is my country.
Ah the good old times when we thought it couldn’t get any eviler than Cheney…
We thought Haliburton was so evil. It was. And now everything else is evil too.
Honestly, we might have been right. Cheney can’t compete for pure destructive stupidity, but for outright malignant evil, I think he still holds his own.
. He was 84.
it’s always the worst who leave the last
84 is pretty much the average life expectancy for a man in the US, isn’t it? Or at least for wealthy men in the US.
Damn. 5 more years of trump on this planet. Can he please be expedited? Next week or tomorrow, or in 5 minutes or as soon as I click “submit” on this comment would be great.
Trump’s father lived to be 93.
Dang it 😫
When your best hope is this guy croaks soon.
No. For a male in the US average life expectancy is closer to 76.
Damn. I believe it used to be 80, but the pandemic (and everything else) must’ve shortened that.
Yes.
His should have been shorter, given his heart replacement, and you know just being a piece of shit. But life isn’t fair.
I haven’t forgotten all the suffering this man caused. I hope he enjoys those flames in hell. I still can’t believe he was an honored guest on the Dem national platform because Trump is evil. One less war criminal more to go.
I hope he enjoys those flames in hell
Wouldn’t that be nice? If only…
One of the chief architects of our current fascist state, only fighting against it when it became clear he was not going to be in charge of it. A vile person who exploited American grief in order to profiteer on the deaths of millions. Fuck him and good riddance.
He didn’t even “fight against it.” His daughter, who is still a piece of shit, might have. Kind of.

Hope all the people who died in the Iraq war do this to him in the afterlife.
I’m always torn. Should I join in and provide my “thoughts and prayers”, or should I ignore such deaths, not comment, and hope this news passes from the feeds?
Well, I guess I made my choice, because I commented. So, thanks for nothing, Dick, and fuck you for all the harm you caused. Good riddance.
Not a religious or spiritual sort, but from the first time I saw him during the election as VP candidate, I truly sensed evil. Good riddance
Yes. Not to whitewash GWB at all but Cheney was the true evil of that administration
Having a number 1 in evil doesn’t mean there’s no number 2.
Hence the “not to whitewash” qualifier there, definitely not absolving him
And Gee Dubya is definitely a number 2.
I’d put Karl Rove ahead of W. He was, in Bush’s own words, “the architect”, of such things as the Iraq war.
True, but Bush put him in the position and enabled him. Shit rolls down hill and Bush was at the top.
Usually at least once a day there’s a number 2.
It was clear to anyone paying attention. GWB was a patsy. Doddering idiot.
By all accounts he had a good heart, but terrible friends and family.
Cheney took the opportunity to run the presidency from the shadows, and did great evil in GWB’s name.
With that said, they both barely hold a candle to the evil of the current admin.
Don’t give GWB that much credit, he was playing up the bumbling idiot schtick as a smokescreen for what was going on behind the scenes
Certainly could be true.
He did evil, whether he was putting on a show for it or genuinely an idiot, he performed a lot of evil.
He lost his first campaign because he was “that egghead from Harvard.”
He certainly recalibrated and leaned into a fake Texan accent after that.
Whether he is an actual bumblefuck I can’t say. He’s certainly a legacy admission.
Rest in piss
This should be news in Iraq.
I hope the guy that threw his shoes at Bush has a very good day.
He actually only served 9 months in prison. Worth it.
Geez, he didn’t even hit him! Cantcha take a joke?
“influential”—his “influence” was war crimes. He was a war criminal vice president.
