No one is saying that "now he's a good guy".
Quite the opposite from what I've seen. They've been all saying "If Dick Cheney...one of the most divisive republicans of modern times, says that Trump is a threat...we should probably fucking listen."
It's like The Joker teaming up with Batman because even HE thinks The Riddler is "a bit much"
lol you fucking idiots loved him when he was actually committing war crimes. That said, I have yet to see anyone praise him.
That said, I have yet to see anyone praise him.
As someone who lived through 9/11, I remember quite a few folks praising and fawning over him. He was a chronic guest of the Sunday Morning politics talk shows at least until the big GOP defeat in 2006. And he kept getting interviewed on fairly favorable terms, as a critic of Obama's relatively dovish foreign policy, well into Obama's first term. FOX News anchors practically tripped over each other lauding him well into 2016.
He never got the proper "honorable man" / "he kept us safe" retconning that Bush Jr received. Nobody is doing 30 minute segments sitting with Cheney and talking to him about his passion for water colors of feet. But until Trump took the Presidency and really turned the neoconservative movement upside down, it was easy enough to find friendly coverage of the former VP.
I meant to say 8 have nor heard any democrats praising him.
If anything this shows that trump isn’t just evil, he is just bad, as in incompetent bad, or like, your idiot AND evil cousin Donny bad.
It's like when The Joker realized Red Skull was an actual Nazi and Defected.
I mean... The Joker is regularly portrayed as being a fan of eugenics and other fascist philosophies.
Their tropes are a bit different. Joker's MO is to try and convince people that they're just as fucked up as he is right before he eggs them on to do some kind of Saw Movie tier horror, while Red Skull likes to think he's simply better than everyone else and entitled to pull the trigger himself. But they're both sociopaths and serial killers. You don't get bonus points for being Antideutsche while giggling your way through a massacre.
Endorsing Harris: +10
Everything else he's done: -999999
Cheney is a demon sent from hell to torment people on earth.
If he's on the kamala train I'm off it
So the friend of your enemy is your enemy?
Missed a few 999999
Every president is a war criminal 😎
🎵 Every broke motherfucker finna form a gang
And when we come we taking everything 🎵
William Henry Harrison wasn't a war criminal. At least not while he was president.
But some definitely more than others
Think of it as seeing rats abandoning a sinking vessel.
Just because someone aligns with any viewpoint does not make him a good guy.
See Stalin and soviets.
What does this mean though?
Fighting alongside allied forces in WWII, soviets were not the good guys.
Dick Cheney will not be absolved of his sins by recommending Harris either.
Source?

Ie made up garbage-tier agitprop.
The bar just fell that far.
Literally nobody is saying this. You're full of shit.
Nobody literally says everything in Trump or GOP memes either. Semantic debatelords only show up when the meme is negative against Democrats.
I hate the NPC Wojack meme with an intense passion. It's such a strawman trap. All it does is reduce the opposition to unthinking robots so they can attacked on their credibility rather than the merits of their actual arguments.
In this case, the media isn't saying Dick Cheney is a good guy now because he endorsed Harris. They're saying it's a surprising stance to take for the former VP of a Republican administration. It would be like having Al Gore come out and endorse Trump for President.
OP is 100% full of shit and more like an NPC than any of these media outlets.
If you think any media organization gets legitimate traction with level-headed, real reporting, congratulations! Your chip has been properly configured! You can now live life unburdened by critical thought.
They're all sock puppets for billionaires to sway public opinion.

No! Impossible!
Are you suggesting the Jeff Bezos WaPo, the GE Presents NBC, and the Murdoch Press are mouthpieces for billionaires? I won't believe it. I can't believe it. America is the freest, fairest, most educated and rational and ethical country on Earth. How could our Liberal Media be anything except perfectly objective and transparent in all things?

It's like the shit-source these days.
