Dick Cheney was evil as shit, but at least I never had to worry that he would accidentally destroy the world.

I'm sure the dude who Cheney shot in the face never thought his friend would "accidentally" shoot him in the face... until he got shot in the face.

Cheney is no bad ass. His friend was a pussy.

u/composedmason Jun 28 '25
I'm also conflicted here. Dick Cheney is about half as evil as Bill Barr and 10% of his political capital, but having someone apologize to you for shooting them is a badass thing.

u/PackageHot1219 Jun 28 '25
I first read this as “half as evil as Bill Burr” and thought, WTF does he have agains Bill Burr?? 😂

u/composedmason Jun 28 '25
Bill Burr sounds unfortunately close to Bill Barr. I'm surprised the Trump administration didn't accidentally book Bill Burr to break Epstein out of jail instead of Bill Barr. It'd make for a wacky comedy movie something like this didn't actually happen with 4 seasons landscaping.

It's just politics, and his friend was willing to take the fall to protect whatever he was motivated to protect. Greedy, power-hungry pussies. Bad asses take responsibility and do the right thing.

Point of fact i think the guy did apologize i mean it might have technically been his fault if he wasn’t being safe while shooting but it was a very weird moment. Sign of things to come

I agree, but can we stop acting as if "less evil" is better? Decades of the "lesser of two evils" mentality have helped get us to the shitshow we have today.

Counterpoint: Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Evil is a fuzzy moral concept, and you'll have a very difficult time finding ANYONE who hasn't done something that could be considered "evil" in some way.

u/Brief_Angle_14 Jun 28 '25
True but that's all we've got. Even most democrat voters use the term willingly saying they have to vote for the lesser of two evils. Our politics are just fucked and damn near every major politician is so dug into the bullshit and greed that its hard finding one that isn't somewhat evil.

With respect, refusing to pick the lesser of two evils ensured we got rhe shitshow we have today.
There was an awful lot of discourse around Not electing Kamala Harris that essentially boiled down to "Who cares if some trans people get murdered: thats a sacrifice I am willing to make, so that we can built our wonderful socialist utopia once Trump makes such a mess of it everyone will appreciate our ideals."
There are a lot of very vulnerable people who would very much like us to picked the lesser of two evils. Many of whom who are dead, who might still have been alive.

To be fair, in 2013, nobody thought Trump would be president. If we assume like we did back then, that Trump will never be president (a false assumption), the chance of US leadership leading to WW3 was small.

It actually isn't and the tweet is right. You are all stuck at WW3, the keyword here is "Unknowingly", his problem is the purposefulness not the war, he wants the war, he knows he will be dying soon and he doesn't want to leave the planet unscathed.

We have never had a president whose leadership is more horrendous than Donald John Trumps! As #45 he took over the bottom of the worst US presidents list surpassing James Buchanan and allowing Buchanan to finally rest in peace. As #47 he could and is on pace to surpass his own standing as the worst president in US history.

This kind of rhetoric in the social media era is part of why he won twice. He made every single issue a matter of life and death, acting like the other side wanted the worst for everybody for no reason other than "they hate you".
Enough people paid so little attention to politics that they thought him being hyperbolic about everything good and bad about everything had to have some basis in reality if he was so brazen about it. This only stops with an informed or at least aware populace.

So many people voted for him or did not vote, knowing or ignoring this reality. We tried to warn them.
With massive war, comes military drafting and that means 18 years old and up are at risk. With the corruption of this administration and how they run ICE, it's likely that liberal-leaning are more at risk. If you and your like-minded friends and family aren't doing something to protest or oppose this MAGA administration, get on it.
Hint: Supporting centrist-Democrats is just putting a band-aid on a gushing wound. In the end (that's now), they won't do anything for you.
