    Allow me to modify an old saying:

    If you can’t say something nice about someone , without lying, then you shouldn’t say anything at all.

    You can’t say anything nice about Dick Cheney without lying so just shut up.

      He was one of the few high-profile Republicans willing to stand by his condemnation of Trump after January 6th, even when the party came crawling back and that stance became a huge liability for him and his daughter. I can respect that.

        Not doing one out 1000 horrible things is not worthy of respect.

        In fact, opposing it fits Cheney’s character because his entire evil persona was based on getting everyone else to do his evil bidding within the working government. Someone trying to overthrow a system he manipulated was a personal attack by Trump. Cheney didn’t oppose it out of his love for America or anything, he opposed it because it undermined his life’s work and he took it personally.

      Who says that’s not her true opinion?

      She did very openly get close to the Cheney familiy during her presidential campaign, so she might very well think that according to her own values he had done nothing wrong.

      It seems to me that one of the core problems of the Democrat Party leadership which has led to their candidate being defeated once again by none other than Donald “Sex Offender” Trump, is exactly that their values are pretty much compatible with Cheney’s.
