Dick Cheney, the former White House chief of staff, member of Congress, secretary of defense and US vice-president, has died, his family has said. He was 84.
Cheney started out covering up the war crimes of Tiger Force and reached the height of power, pushing for wars of aggression and ordersing/approving the commission of war crimes. Like other conservatives, he flipped on culture war issues only when they affected his family. It took Trump's first coup attempt for him to recognize the threat posed by the Bloated Orange Fascist, but by then, he was long out of office and, if not for the stand taken by his daughter, he might have kept quiet.
So I'll end with the old saying of never speak anything but good of the dead. Good.
