Turn And Face The Strange Ch-Ch-Cheneys
September 13, 2024
We have mixed
feelings about this one.
Liz Cheney, who lost
her House seat because she turned against Trump after Trump’s attempted coup, has said that she will be
voting for Kamala Harris “because of the danger that Donald Trump poses” to our
democracy. All of us spent many
painful years documenting the disgraceful dirty dealing perpetrated by Dick
Cheney. However, today, following in his daughter Liz’s footsteps, Dick Cheney,
known to many during his time as vice president to George WTF Bush’s
historically horrific (and illegally-obtained) presidency, as Darth Cheney, has
made it known that he too will not only be endorsing Kamala Harris for
president but will in fact be voting for her. The Cheneys have stated
unequivocally that they believe DarnOld Trump to be the biggest threat to the Republic in this nation’s pock-marked
history.
Prior to the
emergence of DarnOld Trump,
Dick Cheney was the biggest-threat-to-American-democracy. Dick Cheney, who once
shot a man in the face while hunting purposely-crippled birds (then hid from authorities
until he sobered up), who outed a critical CIA asset as revenge for her husband
telling the truth about something Cheney was lying about to drag America into
what turned into an illegal invasion and subsequent quagmire of Iraq.
“In our nation’s 246-year
history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our
Republic than Donald Trump.”
Richard “Dick” Cheney, 2022
“As citizens, we each
have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution.* That
is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.”
Richard
“Dick” Cheney, 2024
While finding oneself aligned with the likes of any Cheney, particularly the elder, is nauseating at best, these endorsements can only play to the Harris campaign’s advantage. And certainly Liz Cheney, after voting for Trump in 2016 and 2020 and voting with Trump nearly 100% of the time, later became relentless in exposing and thrashing Trump's January 6, 2021 attack on our democracy. Cheney the younger was just fine with Trump grabbing women by the pussy, calling Mexicans rapists and murderers, constantly kowtowing to Putin, lavishing praise on numerous brutal dictators including “falling in love” with Kim Jong Un, threatening our allies, betraying national security, trying to extort Ukraine president Zelinskyy, helping tens of thousands of our fellow citizens die from COVID-19, repeatedly disrespecting veterans living and dead, the racism, the fascism and all the rest of Trump’s happy fucking horseshit.
It took Trump inciting an insurrection and watching with
glee for hours as it festered, to get Liz Cheney’s attention. And her father only
perked up when his daughter was
poised to lose her House seat. As they say, even a blind squirrel can avoid
being a complete douchebag…I mean find an acorn once in a while.
Though the damage done by the elder Cheney’s past perfidies
can neither be undone nor forgiven or recovered from any time soon, perhaps we
can give him a brief pat on the fevered head for finally doing something right
for America…and then go soak our hands in disinfectant, or maybe shine a very
powerful light on them to prevent any lasting contamination.
Dick Cheney’s “boss” George WTF Bush has chosen this
critical moment, which is crying out for courage and speaking truth to
bullshit, to STFU. Not one word from the former worst president in American
history. All I can offer to Dubious George is a quote from none other than Dick
Cheney, “Go fuck yourself.”
