"I have never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."
--Abraham Lincoln
Wishing some men dead is perfectly reasonable
When it comes to criminally corrupt untouchables, actually murdering them is perfectly reasonable.
Obviously I'd prefer for them to rot in prison for life, but murdering a murderer to stop them from murder is completely justified, and I'm tired of everyone acting like it's not.
I just want them gone. I don't care if death is how they get there. Society can just turn on them and have their assets siezed as they rapidly fade into obscurity, or they can be tossed in a jail and largely left to rot, save for some cases of extreme reconditioning.
I won't wish death on anyone. But sometimes, it does feel like the most readily accessible means to a good end.
As per tradition, Rolling Stone's article: ‘Dick Cheney, Iraq war architect and “War on Terror” mastermind, dead at 84’.
From the producers of ‘Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America’s Ruling Class, Finally Dies’ and ‘Henry Kissinger, Notorious War Criminal, Lauded By Media’.
He underwent a successful heart transplant in 2012.
I'm an organ donor, but my ghost-self would be so mad if I died and my heart went to Dick fucking Cheney.

I absolutely did not say that, but the internet will make me say anything.

"I have never killed a man, but I have read many an obituary with great pleasure" - Clarence Darrow.
Is this the standard maneuver for this? Have I been doing it wrong all this time?
Keeping your thumb out helps them reach moral superiority.

Don't let the smouldering descent hit your ass on the way out!
...now do the people actively destroying our country, please.
Be the change you want to see in the world. Don't let your dreams be memes
There's a 100% chance that would result in me being killed without actually accomplishing any service to our country.
The wild part is we've got an entire military full of people who do have the means to make it happen, and are oath-bound to defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic... but instead of acting on their oath, they just keep following the domestic enemy's orders like good little Nazis.
If one of those folks could actually do the job our tax dollars are paying them to...
My day's already off to a good start.
Seriously whatever else happens today this is a big win
He really deserves most of the blame for what happened under lil bush...
And quite a lot of the blame for setting up the republicans to embrace Trumpism.
Eh, he was a continuation of what Papa Bush did with Reagan...
And that is almost exactly what Cheney did with Lil Bush, and Miller is doing with trump now.
Whether or not Cheney was pulling the strings while Reagan was in office... I'm not sure, but I'd say it was ex-CIA director Papa Bush who came up with this scheme.
84 years late but we’ll take it I guess.
I like my Lemmy feed's sense of timing 😁
OOOOOO, do tRump next!!!
Is the guy he shot in the face still alive?
Nope
But he was sorry for getting shot in the face.
Actually according to the hunting guide staff the person who shot that guy was a 20yo hooker. Dick was just covering for her.
Aww, poor baby. Taken too soon. He’d just gotten old enough to qualify for presidency too!
Toilets and papers to his families.

What a great man. "We couldn't call it torture so we named it 'enhanced interrogation' instead hahaha." "Waterboarding was very effective hahaha".
Sad that this war criminal never had to pay for his crimes.
Good.
He was an evil excuse for a man.
I thought the weight of the world felt slightly lighter when I woke up this morning.
Good. When is Trump next?

I can't say I'm sad to hear that
Though he died years ago. And thought he was like 104.
LOL
You all, that was definitely a peanut. There's no way that guy went on his own from natural causes...not at the ripe age of 84!
He really had the appropriate name given to him.
Some people are just Dicks.
(That's Cheney on the right and Donald Rumsfeld in the middle. Come to think of it, Donalds are even worse.)
