Dick Cheney, former George W. Bush’s vice president died Monday from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease, his family said in a statement; he was 84 years old.
“His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him as he passed. The former Vice President died due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease,” his family said in a statement released Tuesday morning.
“Am I the evil genius in the corner that nobody ever sees come out of his hole? It’s a nice way to operate, actually.” ~ Dick Cheney
He’s dead now. “Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing,” his family said. “We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man.”
Like I posted in the daily thread: The fact he actually voted for the full on communist, air headed Heels Up (aptly named for the manner in which she ‘advanced’ politically) is all one needs to know. He was no statesman; he was nasty and vindictive just like his nasty, vindictive daughter.
You aptly described him. We all have an appointment with death. That does not change his character. He was a despicable human being
Well said.
Today one of our biggest RINO Senators commented that it was sad to hear of his passing as Dick was a huge influence and supporter of his work in our WY Senate. Yeah.
Kind of incredible how quickly he went from being hated by liberals to being adored by liberals.
Same thing happens every time one of the uniparty members dies.
Hopefully they go in 3’s. Who will be next? Biden? Pelosi? Soros?
Birds of a feather flock together?
Satan laughing, spreads his wings.
Such an amazing and prescient set of lyrics in this song.
Rather apt for today I’d say.
I play in a band and I pull out my Trump guitar and play it during that song when it’s time ! The peace President.
At the end of the day, the Libs have always appreciated a big government Uniparty operative.
All it takes is to demonstrate the abilty to show vindictiveness and duplicity, and then its open arms all around.
Political power is the sole prism through which the left views anything.
Like George W Bush.
“Am I the evil genius in the corner that nobody ever sees come out of his hole? It’s a nice way to operate, actually.” ~ Dick Cheney
Seems Dick knew exactly who he was.
Yes, and his daughter follows in his evil footsteps.
I’m not sure Liz is as smart as her father. Incompetent and raised coddled and entitled.
imagine being raised from infancy by someone like him…
Genius might be questionable. Evil, not so much.
He certainly taught his nasty daughter well. What a legacy!
Personally, I’m glad I will never have to hear another ad by this man stating how our “democracy” is under the gravest threat it has ever been. His reference to a truly GREAT President, President Donald J. Trump.
What he meant was the Cheney family’s ability to make millions off of injured and dead American soldiers was at risk.
Lousy shot, hunters are safe once again
He hit what he was shooting at.
🤣🤣😂😂
My late mother always said that it’s bad luck to speak ill about the dead, so I’ll zip it. ☘️
Did she ever speak ill of Hitler? Same rules, she/you zip it about him?
Thank you for pointing out the fallacy of that silly saying. Evil should be called out living or dead. Use it as an example.
Exactly! The truth is not conditional.
Rather this (paraphrasing Bette Davis):
“We should always speak only good of the dead:
he’s dead – good.”
That’s funny.
No Quarter:
This refrain from a song I just listened to (Ship of Fools) seems appropriately descriptive of Cheney’s legacy:
“Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Drowning in the oceans of history
Travellin’ the world, you’re in search of no good
But I’m sure you’ll build your Sodom like I knew you would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
As your little boat struggles through the the warning waves”
If I could tell him one thing, it would be: “What good are all those ill gotten spoils to you now Dick?”
RIP, Karl W.
May God have mercy on his soul
God will have mercy upon whom he will Knowing his nature thru much study leads me to think he thought similar He being Dick thought he was God there’s not room for two as Satan found out a coupla years ago as the door was shut on his return we are in the last days pray up. Just my 2 cents take it with a flake of pepper.
At least Dick Cheney passed before seeing his daughter convicted and sent to prison, and thus he was spared that humiliation.
He should have been humiliated by the wretch he raised.
She’s another one who entered the U.S. House worth $6M and left worth $44M. So the funeral should have all the trappings.
He’s dead, Jim.
Damn it Jim
At least he got to live long enough to see his beloved globalism being gutted by Donald Trump.
🙂
Let’s hope his family joins him when they are recalled.
A Neo-con’s Neo-con
Sitting at the poker table with Charlie Kirk…
RIP
Hope not. He doesn’t deserve to sit at a table with Charlie Kirk.
Both Republican/Conservative patriots
Fool one needs to see the fruits from their labor. Need I say more TROLL.
Doubt it.
What? I would think they are in totally different places! There is no table where Cheney is…there are n2o gates….there may be…no hereafter for these people and their evil!
Not Charlie is in the presence of God you watch too much Hollywood
Proverbs 11:7
“When a wicked man dies, his expectation will perish,
And the hope of the unjust perishes.”
They say do not speak ill of the dead.
So I will not say anything else about him, because I have nothing good to say.
Ever say anything ill about Hitler?
I thought he was a good guy.
Turned out I was wrong.
🤣🤣🤣
You had a LOT of company. Including me. But the doubts (about all the neocons) came after no WMD were found in Iraq. Doubts became suspicions, then eyes were fully opened in 2016.
When you were a warmonger, who didn’t serve, it’s hard to muster up the tears for your passing. RIP Cheney
My late husband called him “The chickenhawk of all chickenhawks.”
Noble giant???? Try traitor.
The ninth Citcle of Hell is reserved for traitors. He’s there with McCain, Benedict Arnold and that Quisling guy.
He’s been living on borrowed time and a borrowed heart for years.
And like the “lion of the Senate” Ted Kennedy, I would imagine he received the same sterling medical treatment that many of us can only yearn for.
Ha! Kennedy and Cheney…two guys with incredibly bad aim! Ted with his car and Cheney with his gun!
That mechanical heart that he had installed was a real marvel of medical science. It was so allegorically appropriate wasn’t it?
It’s so stupid to turn your back so vociferously on the very people you used to represent. Now nobody will miss him. I thought he would make a great President when I was an idiot.
Enjoy your destination RINO filth…
I saw Mike Pence on Rob Finerty last night and noticed ( pre-mortum ) how he sounded just like Cheney – very wooden, had all his fake “love of god and country” schtick down pat.
He has always seemed robotic to me.
As little as I like the man and his entire family, I am sorry they are going through the pain of losing someone they really loved. I hope God eases their pain and changes their hearts.
Weapons of mass destruction.
Sorry to see so many comments on this thread. Few or no comments might have indicated that the man died but no one particularly cared outside of his immediate family. Irrelevance / indifference is an awful legacy for “giants” of men.
Now I need to remove the garden hoses and put those little styrofoam covers on the outside faucets.
Good idea, Fionnagh.
“Am I the evil genius in the corner that nobody ever sees come out of his hole? It’s a nice way to operate, actually.” ~ Dick Cheney
This aptly describes O’bama’s third term, while Biden was keeping the throne warm, no?
It’s bad taste to criticize the freshly dead, but he called himself evil and I won’t dispute it.
Dick is dead.
So, you’re saying, he’s a dead dick?
Dick Cheney created Anthony Fauci and gave him the license to do what he has done his whole career.
I empathize with anyone losing a family member but I pass on this one because of who He has been and his daughter because they would rather continue the destruction of this country than having PDJT fixing it.
🔥 hell
Well……..not a word of anything I read describes the Dick Cheney we as MAGA all know…….
And what of his treasonous daughter.
Bush?
They weren’t much different than the Demonrats.
The whole damn establishment is rotten to the core…..and Cheney was part of the CORE for a long time.
Evil……..yep…….I’ll agree with him on THAT!
Public servant who enriched himself.
Turns out all that ill-gotten wealth didn’t change his fate. Halliburton didn’t save him. Now he faces the Lord’s judgement and that one is eternal.
Amen my brother I may pay for my upbeat mood knowing another Evil man is gone.
In this case Chet proves you can’t take it with you but you can leave it to heirs who will perpetuate your evil.
DICK Cheney proves the point you can’t take it with you but you can leave it to heirs who will perpetuate the evil.
Next!
My Grandmother Always said…

I hope he is redeemed
Dick Cheney shot my dad in the face. Now he’s dead, here’s the full story of what happened that day… and the ghastly aftermath no one knows about
Then, with caustic sarcasm, she added: ‘I don’t think Cheney was a great shot.’
It had long been rumored that Cheney never apologized to Whittington over the shooting which left his victim with suffering a heart attack and collapsed lung.
Sally verified that version of events Tuesday, saying: ‘I think Cheney thought he apologized, but my family didn’t really.’
The accidental shooting captured headlines around the world at the time, as Cheney came under scrutiny for recklessly firing a shotgun at Whittington, who was 78, and leaving him with over 100 pellets in his body.
The 78-year-old Texas businessman sustained damage to much of the right side of his body, suffering a collapsed lung and damage to his face, neck and torso.
Whittington would also suffer a minor heart attack when one of the shotgun pellets lodged near his heart around a week after the shooting. The businessman recovered and died in 2023 aged 95.
Cheney came under intense scrutiny following the shooting, as he neglected to offer Whittington a full apology while repeatedly downplaying the incident and injuries that his hunting partner suffered.
The vice president would later describe it as ‘one of the worst days of my life’, but at the time his office also delayed informing the press for almost a whole day after Whittington was hospitalized.
Cheney also reportedly failed to get a Texas hunting license before the incident, and remained out of the limelight for some time after amid a media firestorm.
Although Cheney never publicly apologized to Whittington for the shooting, the victim did go on to apologize to the vice president for the backlash he received.
Whittington held a press conference soon after being released from hospital, where he said: ‘My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this week.’

Here’s a photo of Whittington’s face with birdshot wounds

Oh, NICE, elegant sarcasam!
Seems Mr Wittington had more grace than his shooter.
I feel exactly the same way today, as I felt the day McCain croaked.
Nothing.
If Dick Cheney were to be cast as a character in any Star Wars movies it would be as a Sith Lord.
I call him “Darth” Cheney.
Work out the anagrams for SITH
The old guy found out what Outer Darkness is he gets exactly what he deserves and all the other non believers shall go Until The Lake is built for them LAKE OF FIRE.
John McCains twin brother. A nasty, vituperative piece of work. I hope Satan puts him in a particularly hot circle of hell. He also needs to find the spot quickly, before Cheyney starts causing problems for him too…
Ezekiel 33 v 11-16
Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’
The Fairness of God’s Judgment
12“Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.’ 13When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die. 14Again, when I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ if he turns from his sin and does [d]what is lawful and [e]right, 15if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 16None of his sins which he has committed shall be remembered against him; he has done what is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
At least you have to give his parents credit for truth in advertising when they named him “Dick”.
Maybe his friend wbo predeceased a him a few years back was there to shoot him in the face upon arrival.
“Dick Cheney was a great and good man”
How can someone be great and good at the same time?
That photo. Savage 😵🪦
Got a heart transplant at age 72. No Obamacare for that dude.
You know who else gets transplants? Illegals.
The Dick is in the Bardo now. I believe this is from the Tibetan. For forty days and nights in Earth time he will encounter every soul that he has touched by his actions. I don’t know if the Dick is going to have enough time to experience all of the suffering he has caused others. I imagine he will be stuck there for eternity, or if he gets extra time there for the so many he caused harm to.
He owned Dresser Industries that mined and manufactured asbestos products that caused un-numbered cases of cancer as well as lawsuits that bankrupted the company. His buddy, Silverstine or stein also owned the World Trade Center Buildings that were plumb full as a tick with asbestos. It would be more cost effective to remediate the Towers by just freaking destroying them . I guess the Dick took care of that real estate problem for his friend.
Dresser Industries became Haliburton, which the Dick then also gave a no-bid contracts to do EVERYTHING related to the invasion of Iraq. Which would not have happened without 9/11. Which gave rise to the whole “security state” (my arse) we are living in today. Phones tapped, the TSA shctick before getting on a plane, etc. Oh and his buddy Chertoff came up with the scanners at airports that all were required to use no matter if they fried your ass off with radiation.
The world may become a better place now that Cheney has bit the dust. One can always hope.
