Do it, Donald.
Call Richard Bruce Cheney a RINO.
I need the laugh today.
You know he’d do it. With a straight face even.

He needs to crawl back into his hole. Who the hell was waiting for Dick Cheney’s endorsement to make a decision?
George W. Bush?
I dunno, in almost all circumstances I agree that he should just keep his mouth shut and thankful no one is pursuing him for warcrimes … But in this instance, he’s not going to sway anyone to vote Trump by endorsing Kamala and he might influence some Republicans to cross lines or abstain. Really hard to see this specific act as anything other than a potential good (not altruistic, but still, in balance for the world, neutral to good).
I can’t see this as anything other than bad.
Now the Trump camp can say “See? We are the peace candidate. The architect of the Iraq war supports the other guys”
If the idea is to help Harris win maybe they should keep this endorsement on the DL.
Ah yes, renowned torture activist
Just one of the many wealthy torture enthusiasts disgusted by the state of the modern republican party that they were 100% responsible for creating.
I still hate the fucker.
The correct answer.
If you had told me during the Bush years that there would be a Republican so evil even Dick Cheney wouldn’t vote for them I may have jumped off a bridge.
Nah, they just don’t want to be associated with losers
Maybe Cheney got an ethics transplant along with the heart transplant
X Doubt.
I’d guess something like he hates that Trump and MAGA in general keep getting cozy with Russia. And they’ve displaced inner circle NeoCon pals along the way.
His kid is gay and he’s read project 2025.
Note the only time they care is when it affects one of their own or themselves.
A literal change of heart.
Nah, the GOP are trying to future proof themselves from criticism. They’re banking on rose colored glasses being on for pre-Trump republicans.
Yup
Everyone sees how romney and liz cheney (and mccain before them) was praised as “the one sane republican” and want to set themselves up to be that when trump finally croaks and they can run “moderate republicans” again.
All these fucks vote more or less in lockstep with trump and the magats outside of MAYBE one or two issues. But they just don’t like that they have no power in the party anymore and that trump has repeatedly demonstrated he can’t get any down ballot candidates elected.
like, I would have assumed said evil would be Cheney’s padawan or whatever the jr sith is called lol
The apprentice?
Or you’ve been propagandized so much that you think fucking Dick Cheney being on your side is somehow a good sign and it doesn’t even give you a moment’s pause. He is still an evil piece of shit and anything he is advocating for deserves at least some examination.
May I never become so contrarian that I reject my own ideas if the wrong people admire them.
They’re one of the people drifting around Lemmy who’ve been shilling the Green Party lately, never mind that their candidate is a Russian plant whose goal is to siphon away just enough votes to get Trump elected.
Lol, not even slightly. Pretty sure I’ve only made one comment related to the Green Party/Jill Stein and it wasn’t an endorsement, but rather one made in a similar vein of poking at the lack of introspection that comes with tribalism.
No party is perfect, and I doubt one will ever exist that even comes close to that, but life goes on regardless and important decisions need to be made this cycle.
There’s a saying, around here people know it…some people over there may know it too… the enemy of my friend is my enemy, the enemy of my enemy is my non-binding Diplomacy partner.
Beautiful
Good sign? Did you miss the part where I said I’d jump off a bridge??? Are you one of the kids Bush left behind?
And I suppose you hate dogs, merely because Hitler loved them?
Or maybe you can acknowledge that the morality of an action is independent of the morality of the person making the action? Dick Cheney is making the morally correct decision by endorsing Harris, but that doesn’t make him a good guy any more than liking dogs made Hitler one.
WTF? He’s still alive? Why am I so cold all of a sudden?
They give him a break from patrolling Azkaban every 4 years to vote.
Why am I so cold all of a sudden?
Better check if you’ve been shot in the face
If you were shit then you might have to apologize to him.
Too little too late Dick. This is the culture war road you set us upon.

Hey now, my wife is a cyborg.

endorsement of mass destruction
Mission Accomplished

Weezus Fucking Christ?
Waldo’s Fried Chicken, of course.
World ‘fraid Center
LOL that was by backup joke
So even he is not THAT much of a dick.
I mean, the alternative is Trump, so it makes sense.
Blows my mind that there is someone capable of making the heartless evil shit stain that is Darth-Cheney, actually vote off party line.
Is this horseshoe theory? Where hippies and the heartless engineer of the Iraq invasion unite to stop the vagina necked swamp terror of monolago?
Goodness. I wish my 2006 self could see this… he’d think this was The Onion
I mean, we started living in an onion around 2016.
