Dick Cheney is dead.

[RandySF]

News hitting my phone this moment.

[Hekate]

1. Let me be the first to wish him all that he deserves

[moonrise november]

19. And you as well. 😘

(By the way, was his daughter Liz estranged from him? I never heard her publicly condemn him so I imagine she was still in contact with her dad. Lots of DUers seemed to like Liz because she put down Trump. Similar to liking Dubya--arguably a war criminal every bit as much Cheney was--simply because he was friendly with Michelle Obama and may have said things against Trump. Even though this very site began as a reaction to Dubya's administration. )

[PatSeg]

68. I don't think they were estranged

I recall them making some kind of joint statement regarding Trump within the last year.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

2. HELL YA!!

[jaymac]

4. times sure change

There was a time I'd have danced and sung my way through an aria in celebration because he was the most diabolical evil person ever...geesh...what did I know?

[PatSeg]

67. Who knew it could get far worse?

[SheltieLover]

5. 1 down.

[lastlib]

95. I hope this time it's final..... n/t

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

97. Don't be surprised to see the Satanist-in-Chief raise Dickhead Cheney from the dead!!

[SheltieLover]

3. Come on karma!

Please...

My only other wish is to never see his spawn's clueless face or hear her whining again. Ever.

[malaise]

6. Bye bye

N/t

[underpants]

7. Flags at half staff Trump?

[malaise]

8. And the whitewashing of his illegal war in Iraq begins

[OMGWTF]

63. And Afghanistan

[Jbraybarten]

64. It began in 2003

[samplegirl]

72. That's when I joined

D.U.
I read every blog on the Internet!

Weapons of master destruction.

[Celerity]

9. War criminal.

[ms liberty]

10. Well, it'll do for today.

[halobeam]

92. Why, yes it most definitely will!

That, and voting today!

[chicoescuela]

11. Grim Reaper is getting closer to our boy. Keep swinging GR

[Blue_Adept]

12. considering DU was founded in the aftermath of his and dubya being elected

It took far too long to get to this point.

But it's also a moment where you realize how "young" he was at 59/60 when he was elected VP.

Just makes me dread Vance all the more, but it also reinforces that things aren't going to go well for Trump for much longer.

[purr-rat beauty]

61. That young??

Evil surely ages

Anyways, he sucked

[Maru Kitteh]

99. Vance will never be as consequential. He lacks substance.

He is not charismatic. There is no possible universe outside of the absurd one we currently occupy in which JD Vance rises beyond chairman of a minor library board in stature.

[llmart]

13. Geez....

Let me try to summon up some sadness and tears......


Nope. I got nothing. One more evil, self-serving bastard has left our planet. Now can we have a twofer?? Make my day.

[Martin Eden]

69. Who is the 2nd in your twofer?

I certainly wouldn't leave out his accomplice in war crimes, GW Bush.

[llmart]

87. I shouldn't have to say this, but the answer is the Orange Anus Mouth.

[Martin Eden]

89. That makes it a threefer

Cheney & Bush are a set of two, for the same reason.

[llmart]

91. I never considered him in charge of the Presidency.

He was just the frat boy doofus who took his direction from Cheney. Doesn't mean I like him but I don't believe he was evil like Trump and Cheney. Would I shed a tear over Bush Jr.? Nope. But for the most part, he's persona non gratis these days, just painting his toes in the bathtub.

[Martin Eden]

93. The buck stops at the Resolute Desk

Accountability and justice are non-negotiable.

I'd rather see Trump live in prison than die on his throne.

[MiHale]

14. Sooner or later we all are the same news...

Come on trumpie make some headlines.

[deminks]

15. This will be one of the hardest days of my life...

Not to speak ill of the dead.

[RandySF]

16. I already failed.

[Bettie]

22. Just think of it as practice

for when the one who is many times worse dies.

I'm laughing right now, the world seems a tiny bit brighter with the knowledge that evil can die.

[llmart]

88. I've already done that first thing this morning.

I have no regrets.

[gopiscrap]

101. I'll do it for you:

Dickhead Chaney was a warmongering, motherfucking, self aggrandizing, dishonest, criminal asshole may he rot in hell

[Liberal In Texas]

17. About time.

Some of these guys last way longer than their sell-by date.

[bdamomma]

85. ......

[mvd]

18. Well, the best thing I can say is.

.. not the one I had most hoped for.

[Takket]

20. Cheney: mastermind of the Iraq lie, murderer of every troop died for that lie

And that guy thought drumpf was evil… just think about that.

[Godot51]

21. A man without a heart...

... one of the true inspirations for republicanism today...

[Festivito]

45. He had actual change of heart and was mostly quiet thereafter.

I wonder how much our heart affects our choices in life.

[BlueMTexpat]

23. Not speaking ill of the dead ...

Dick Cheney is dead. Good!

*********
He WAS my base standard for evilness. But that hasn't been the case since The Great Fatsby was thrust upon us!.

[WestMichRad]

24. I do not celebrate anyone's death,

But I’m certainly not saddened by this news.

[dem4decades]

56. That may be a hard tradition to keep. There's a day coming.

But if you still don't celebrate, I'll celebrate twice as hard.

[WestMichRad]

82. There's an exception to every rule.

And there is one case for which I’ll make an exception and celebrate with you! May it be soon!

[DFW]

25. Trump won't know of a former VP. He'd only remember he was Liz Cheney's dad.

On the other hand, Cheney WAS responsible for Roberts and Alito, without whom Trump would be nowhere.

Maybe it just boils down to how much, if any, Trump ever saw of that $9 billion in cash that disappeared in the Iraqi desert during Cheney’s momentary lapse of memory.

[milestogo]

26. Its 25 years too late.

He was an evil man and did not deserve a long life.

[Solly Mack]

27. Above the law in life. Beyond the law in death.

[DownriverDem]

28. The only good thing

about him is that he was against trump. Someone asked about his daughter. His wife, Lynn & both his daughters, Liz and Mary, were with him when he died.

[Javaman]

29. yup, he sure is.

Someone needs to make sure.

[GoneOffShore]

30. Oh dear. Well, anyway....

[Coldwater]

31. What I remember about Dick Cheney

He shot Harry Whittington, a 78-year-old Texas attorney, with his 28-gauge Perazzi shotgun while on a quail hunt on a ranch in Texas.

[James48]

32. Are they sure?

Better check again, just to be sure.

[lastlib]

40. Drive a stake through where his heart is supposed to be, to be sure.

And make sure he doesn't come back to this side.

[malaise]

84. Didn't he receive someone else's heart? N/t

[Coldwater]

47. lol..

[Mad_Dem_X]

33. Condolences to the family.

That's all I will say at this time.

[somsai]

34. Voted for Kamala Harris

a reflection of the times.

[Bengus81]

51. They usually always mellow out somewhat after their time to SCREW people is over

Bob Dole did the same.........

[BannonsLiver]

90. Bob Dole was pro Trump when he croaked.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/22/politics/bob-dole-donald-trump

[Bengus81]

96. Late in his life he thought the ACA or some kind of affordable health care

would be a good thing. Decades before when Clinton was in office there was no way he would vote for it--especially with Hillary trying to get it going.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

102. Is that why she took the high road?

I thought that was really unnecessary when I saw it… especially when I saw someone else point out the ridiculousness of it :

[GiqueCee]

35. I hear Hell is nice this time of year. nt

[EarthFirst]

36. With any luck; he was accepted to the battery acid enema level of hell... nt

[IronLionZion]

37. Only speaking good of the dead

He's dead. Good.

[Croney]

38. Hunting accident?

[E. Normus]

39. I wonder,

what karma must have in store for him? As for his passing, I am not sad.

[somsai]

41. The last of the Vietnam era non veterans?

We are running out of people from the Vietnam era, and there have been a heck of a lot more people who got out of going, than went. Off the top of my head those who went were and ran for president

Gore
McCain
Kerry

those who didn't
Romney, Cheney, Trump, Clinton, Biden. I'd certainly place Bush in this category too.

For many of that generation what you did mattered.

[FakeNoose]

71. John Kerry is still living, but retired from politics

I can't blame the guy one bit. The Vietnam Era was over 50 years ago, so most of those contemporaries are retired or gone to their greater reward by now.

[hunter]

98. It's probably a good thing G.W. Bush didn't end up in Vietnam.

He would have been a danger to himself and others.

[lastlib]

42. Quick, screw that coffin lid down TIGHT!!

Get him in the ground and cover him up WELL!! Pour cement over the grave, and cover it with boulders. DO NOT let that creature come back from the dead!

[Scrivener7]

43. Welp ... they say these things happen in threes.

[bdamomma]

86. I just posted

the same thing. Let's see who comes next, on the political spectrum.

[PJMcK]

44. I was taught to speak good about the dead

Dick Cheney is dead.

Good.


(Apologies to Bette Davis)

[niyad]

46. Thank you for starting my day with some good news.

[AllyCat]

48. Bye Darth.

[Brainstormy]

49. FINALLY!

I often said that, if I knew how, I'd murder him, life in prison notwithstanding. Good riddance.

[Bengus81]

50. Taking ALL his lies about the Iraq war to the grave. Fuck you Darth Vader

[blogslug]

52. Trump ruins everything.

Today, he ruined grave dancing.

[Beringia]

53. Speaking out against Trump, Cheney argued that he could "never be trusted with power again."

Cheney released a statement announcing his endorsement of Democratic nominee, then-Vice President Kamala Harris for President over Trump in September 2024.

He knew how dangerous trump is

[maxrandb]

54. I react to this news with his own infamous words

"Go Fuck Yourself"

[Botany]

55. Gonna have to put gravel around his grave because nothing will grow with all that pee on it.

Fucker lied to start a war in order to become a billionaire with his cost plus no bid contracts that
with the D o D that he got started as Sec. of Defense.

[QueerDuck]

57. I hope it wasn't terribly unpainful.

[rubbersole]

58. With apologies to the 'Wizard of Oz' ...

🎼🎵 Ding-dong
The Dick is dead
The wicked Dick
The mean ol' Dick
Ding-dong
The wicked Dick is dead! 🎶
🥳🍾🥂

[Johonny]

59. Not the obituary I was looking for

[Dr. T]

60. My feet are warm because the fires in hell

are burning extra hot this morning. He was such a horrible person that even Death didn't want him.

[JBTaurus83]

62. They say

That these things happen in threes…🤞

[lark]

65. Meh!

Another asshole hits the dirt.

[Martin Eden]

66. My mother taught me to speak only good of the dead.

Dick Cheney is dead. Good.

[Harker]

70. Ding dong...

[evolves]

73. Bye, Felicia

[flvegan]

74. Oh no!

Anyway.

[suegeo]

75. Kick and Recommend

[Ferrets are Cool]

76. ...

[CaptainTruth]

77. Can't say I'm sad about it.

[dflprincess]

78. Almost poetic we get the news on election day nt

[edbermac]

79. Just woke up and saw Dick Cheney Dead on HuffPo

Well, this day is off to a good start!

[Upthevibe]

80. Kick. N/T

[TBF]

81. K&R - nt

[bdamomma]

83. Wow

Well as they say it comes in three's.

RIP Dick.

[Wednesdays]

94. He is still dead?

Didn't realize there was any change.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

100. ...

[Cuthbert Allgood]

103. Not what I was hoping for, but I'll take it.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

104. Vice President JD Vance Excitedly Assumes Role of Worst Living Vice President
