All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

I'd like to remind everybody that Dick Cheney would've never gotten the chance to commit his atrocities in the first place if literally just a THIRD of the Ralph Nader voters in New Hampshire in 2000 had voted for Gore instead.

It's annoying to keep having to point this out, but the actual DNC has been behind Mamdani ever since he won the primary, which you wouldn't know by reading some posts on here.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Awful awful awful. I hate that he’s an Utah Senator. Brutally disgraceful, utterly disgusting.
This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Time will tell, in the meantime keep calling senators and tell them to fight the disgusting abomination bill, for reals.
