My dad used to tell me I only had a certain number of words to use in my whole life to try to keep me from babbling. At 5 I knew it was bullshit.
The thing about Trump stories is that they always have that extra layer of stupidity that you’re not expecting. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

What the fuck are you taking about? Dick Cheney is a huge reason why the current president has power he shouldn’t have. Cheney redefined torture as “advanced interrogation techniques.” Cheney laid the foundation for fascism in the US. He hated Trump but that forgives him nothing.
Watching the funeral of VP Dick Cheney and listening to his daughter, Congresswoman Liz Cheney, speak. One can only hope that this GOP will find its democratic compass again and reject all things fascist. I didn’t always agree with VP Cheney BUT he was antifa. He always put country over party.RIP🙏
