    I just want to put out there, along with all of his other crimes, I have a personal gripe with Dick Cheney. Around 2005 I had a flight connection in Chicago and so did he. The entire airport ground to a halt so that his plane could take off but it stopped and sat for 20 minutes on the runway delaying the entire O’Hare airport. After Air Force 2 took off there was a mad dash to catch up after the forced half hour pause, and my luggage never made it onto my connecting flight and took 3 days to get to me at my destination! Fuck you Dick Cheney! You caused my luggage to get lost 20 years ago!

      Secret service controls all of that for every POTUS/VPOTUS. The select which airport in each area works best for their security measures and the ground stops are standard and nothing the VP or any other passenger on the plane has control over.

        The VP could have scheduled a flight at like 2 am. They do know what happens to airports they use.

        I mean he could’ve just waited to taxi to the runway until he was actually ready to take off. But mostly I enjoy the humor in the inconvenience and applying petty blame

          That’s just not how airports work when the secret service is controlling them. The VIPs have basically no say in how they get anywhere. They say where they’re going and everything is set up based on the USSS.

      He has long been known as a heartless piece of shit. Literally his heart quit making it’s own rythym like a long time ago, I think maybe during this time period it refused to send electrical signals, urging his body to give up.

      5 million files the justice department is holding that are unreleased, to say nothing of the redacted parts on the released stuff, 3 million pages total I read.

    I don’t have a favorite politician. Anyone who would even want the job is trash. The fact that some are worse doesn’t get them shit from me.

      Bernie Sanders is all right. Not perfect, he pretended to give Israel the benefit of the doubt after october 7. Idk what would’ve happened if he told the truth right from the start, maybe he would’ve gotten kirked, kirk killed by Israel too by the way. In a way that certainly didn’t involve hitting him with that high powered thirty ought six rifle, which would’ve created a much more dramatic wound to his neck at that distance, as gun enthusiasts have demonstrated in presentations shooting that rifle at that distance at different objects to give us an idea. Think fist sized exit wound and hamburger.

    Roger Stone is another one who has seemingly been doing everything he does out of pure malice all along. No sign of him in the files yet, despite being a genuine creep.

      It is odd. Meanwhile you have Michael Wolff advising Epstein like he is a buddy doing pro bono legal/PR work for him.

      Israel wanted for nothing under Biden, whom did nothing to stop or slow their abuses, perfunctionary and meaningless gestures only. A fucking joke, and an insult to his base.

          That is just undeniably true. Also pedophiles, and those that cover for them. And tax cheats. Insider Traders. Both parties are filled with Pieces of Fucking Shit.

            Trump is something much worse though. His family is making billions creating a technocratic city on the bones of the children of gaza. He has bypassed congress and bought Israel a new fleet of fighter jets from Boeing and given them 8 billion dollars in new weapons since the beginning of this year.

    I honestly think it’s weird how many people try to normalize being implicated in these crimes.

    It’s not normal. Not every person suddenly turns into such a horrible creature the moment they have an ounce of power or money. It can never be forgiven as just a part of the system, because it isn’t.

      I’m personally convinced every conservative are willing to let this go because deeply, they know they would do the same if given the chance. There is no redemption for these people, we need a revolution and a fresh start.
