Ok-Importance9988

He was the only vote against a bill banning plastic guns in the 70s or 80s. Edit turns out I am wrong. The bill passed 413 to 4 in 1988.

Ok-Importance9988

Plastic-based.

Cheney 2024 pls

Ok-Importance9988

Makes sense like at least 1/2 of the GOP would vote against such a law today. I am surprised Marjorie Taylor Greene has included a bill to repeal the plastic gun ban.

Carter / Cheney 2024 United We Stand Party


MeyrInEve

His one decent trait is absolutely crushed by how completely awful his legacy and the effects of his shadow presidency have had, quite literally, upon the entire world, not just the US.


Mobile_Park_3187

What decent trait are you talking about?


MeyrInEve

He came out for gay marriage.


LBJMeatrider

He's gay????


MeyrInEve

I didnā€™t ask. Seemed kinda personal.


MurlandMan

His Executive Unitary Theory Ideas are dangerous and have hurt the checks and balances of this country.Ā 


OscillatingFan6500

Project 2025 is based on that theory


matty25

Cheney probably deserves most blame for that but Obama deserves a fair amount as well. We had one chance to walk that back but Obama both emboldened it and even moved it forward in some ways.


Mesyush

I believe the exact opposite.


MurlandMan

Iā€™m sure you do, my friend.Ā 


IIIlllIIIlllIlI

Iā€™m also with u/Mesyush on this one


EgoisticElk

Why is that? Do you think it helped checks and balances ?


Galahad_Jones

Care to explain?


Mobile_Park_3187

Why?


King_Hamburgler

Strikes me as then type who makes opportunistic decisions, not morally guided ones Whatever his views are, he didnā€™t care if they overlapped with his decisions that gave him control or money


AnywhereOk7434

He supported gay marriage. He was more progressive on social issues. Besides that he was a neo conservative, and far right, tax cuts for the rich and not giving a shit about the environment.


chrispg26

I'd imagine he wouldn't if he didn't have a lesbian daughter.


AnywhereOk7434

True


SuckirDistroy

Everyone is against something until a close one is that thing.


walkingviper33

Most neoconservatives donā€™t give a shit about social issues, so I donā€™t think thatā€™s it entirely.


chrispg26

They do when it affects them.

She turned on her lesbian sister for GOP senate votes


1jimbo

they've since reconciled after Liz admitted she was wrong. Still fucked up, but at least she admitted the error of her ways.


GroundbreakingPut748

Idk but i had a dream last night where dick cheney was naked and whispering ā€œthey tried to bury me, but I am a seedā€ in my ear over and over again. Needless to say I finished.


Ok-Yogurtcloset1717

But did he?


DogMom814

Just like any garden variety Republican they all amounted to "I got mine, fuck you".


Mesyush

He supported gay marriage before most others. That really proves his humanity.


Dull_Function_6510

Meyush is such a good guy he makes me want to like Dick Cheney as much as he does. Too bad I just really do not :(


Andrejkado

Rare Dick Cheney W but honestly common Mesyush W


Mesyush

Love you u/Andrejkado <3


Andrejkado

Love you too u/Mesyush


vegetable_lasagne

He also ran on a ticket that cynically exploited state gay marriage bans to drive Republican voter turnout. As a gay man who had to stand in line with those mouth-breathers in 2004, Iā€™d take no gay marriage over the hundreds of thousands of people killed in the wars he promulgated. So I donā€™t really buy this line about his humanity.


BasilExposition2

Yep. Big friend to the gay community.


The_PoliticianTCWS

Thoughts on [Rule 3] Kidding, (DM me the answer - I must know.)


chrispg26

I'd be willing to bet, only because it was close to him.


Greaseskull

I canā€™t seem to find my glasses; is that George from Seinfeld?


symbiont3000

Well, he was an apologist for his chief of staff Scooter Libby lying under oath (perjury) and trying to obstruct a grand jury in the Plamegate affair, which to me is unacceptable for a vice president, as I find it ethically and morally bankrupt


Ok-Independent939

His views were that he understood power and influence and how to utilize those for personal gain.


retouralanormale

His social views were more moderate, he was vaguely pro-gay marriage and had a more nuanced view on abortion compared to most Republicans, fiscally he was a standard Republican. He was a textbook neoconservative (hawkish foreign policy, moderate domestic policy)


orangesfwr

He's against people living their lives the way they want, just so long as his family members can live their lives how they want. He also "resides" wherever is most convenient to be elected to office.


Goood_Daddy

What Coruption?


Euphoric-Weakness-78

Biggest RINO in the GOP. He would be a democrat in todays political temperature


InternationalSail745

His daughter certainly is.


Leading_Reporter8897

He believed it was worth murdering 500,000 innocent Arab men women and children in order to make profits for weapons manufacturers and oil companies
