Possibly the most despicable war profiteer of all time. Good riddance!

I think he beat out Rumsfeld and Kissinger for worst supervillain, with Bill Gates and Fauci running neck and neck with him. The ones praised most upon their deaths (by our media) are usually the worst MF's.

It's too bad he went when he was no longer really effective or active (that I'm aware of). I was thinking that I would be so happy when he died but I actually have very little feeling about it - which is kinda sad because now he seems like small potatoes compared to what so many powerful freaks are getting away with nowadays...

I am surprised that there is very little to no coverage that I'm seeing in intranet news. I am no longer on FB but usually even YouTube has newsy items pop up for stuff like big deaths. I've seen nothing! I was wondering if the PTB were going to put on one of their big ol' funerals, e.g., satanic cabal get-togethers. But at this point - I really don't care.

More good news--Pelosi isn't running for reelection. She's still alive though....😟

But the bad news is that Scott Weiner and Christine Pelosi, both of whom are worse than Pelosi, are the frontrunners to replace the big bad witch. And California's elections are rigged so nobody worthwhile will take her place. Cindy would be the best replacement.

I went with "pop the champagne cork" 🍾, upon the theory that Satan has long been keeping the Vice-Satan chair warm for Cheney. Oh, I'm sure Satan has had to chase squatters and usurpers like Daddy Bush, John McCain, and Henry Kissinger (to name but a few) off the Lesser Throne while waiting for Cheney's latest electronic heart to finally short-circuit. 💓 ⚡

If Netanyahu had turned up first, Satan would have gritted his teeth and hoped Solomon would take his call and recommend a solution to this vexing dilemma. 👿 ⁉️ 🔥

I was irritated, but not surprised, when local mass-media respectfully and reverently, even demurely, reported Deadeye Dick’s overdue passing into Hell. 🔥

The US overclass and its mass-media allies and servants promote compulsive posthumous hyper-hagiography of dubious public figures, especially politicians. I first took notice of this pathological response when former President Richard M. Nixon died in 1994. Although I was still mired in a conventional progressive-liberal mindset, I was astonished at the public reaction– or at least the mass-media Team Coverage– of Nixon’s death and funeral.

The transformation of Nixon from nominally-disgraced “crook” to a Great (albeit “flawed”) Amerikan was instantaneous, and startling. I didn’t go out of my way to watch and read the mainstream media reports, but I couldn’t help being exposed to some of it.

Even then, I wasn’t surprised that fork-tongued politicians glibly and blithely praised the deceased Nixon. But I was amazed when celebrities of all stripes, including the “journalists” and correspondents covering the funeral, joined in the effusive hagiography.

I wondered if perhaps a different Richard M. Nixon was being laid to rest; I didn’t recognize the one being lionized.

More recently, John McCain’s long-anticipated death prompted a fawning orgy of adulation orders of magnitude greater than the seemingly-spontaneous rehabilitation of Nixon in 1994.

Former President George H.W. Bush’s demise in 2018 prompted the same contrived overreaction. It’s worth noting that, like the elevation of self-serving charlatan and war-criminal McCain to quasi-divine status in death, the overweening praise for Bush was exacerbated by Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). That is, much of the bloated praise for Bush pointedly commended Bush’s “presidential” demeanor, and contrasted Bush’s putative “dignity” and “resolve” with Trump’s crass, freewheeling style.

It’s one thing to believe in the pious and vaguely superstitious precept that one must not speak ill of the dead, in the name of civility, good manners, and perhaps generous sympathy or respect for the deceased’s surviving family and friends.

But the baseless unconditional positive regard that is de rigueur in the US is an artifact of its febrile, surrealistic, decadent culture. Of course, the political class exacerbates and exploits this smarmy sentimentality to further its self-serving interests.

Bah! Humbug! ⚰️ 🤬

My loathing of Dick Cheney knows no bounds, a vile human if there ever was one.

Years ago, during Dick Cheney's active tenure, I did standup comedy at local clubs, with this snarky one-liner: My penis piercing has a charm bracelet attached; I call it my "Dick Chainy."

But the New York Times wrote a sweet obituary because he hated Trump. That absolves all sins.

I think he finally ran out of spare hearts and/or his sand ran out after the nine lives he stole from cats by drinking their blood.

Now he gets to face the 3000 Americans he killed on 9/11/01. Years ago when Inola Henry ran the state resolutions committee I got through a resolution calling for his impeachment along with Bush. We had to fight to have Cheney included but succeeded back then.

Haha! So Bush's Dick is dead? Well, it's my policy to not be happy when anyone dies, but I won't cry any tears either. I kinda thought that guy would live forever... but I know he had trouble with his heart. Big surprise!

He’s much worse than you think. Multiple SRA survivors have gone on record as having been hunted by him in human hunting parties.

Also, I suspect that injury he supposedly got bird hunting years ago…..was actually at a human hunting party

I don’t really believe in hell, but I enjoy the idea of Cheney, Kissinger, and Milton Friedman suffering unspeakable torture forever.

However, I would guess if hell exists, Satan has probably deputized those motherfrockers.
