Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Gotta say I'm livid about that article synopsis
helped lead the country into the ill-fated Iraq war on faulty assumptions
Really, that's what we're calling that now? Just a little 'oopsie' where nobody was culpable, not even the monsters leading the charge and fabricating the evidence?
The Iraq War was a success for the US. It achieved its minimalist goals of destabilizing the region, which still pays dividends to this day. I don't think Syria would have fallen if not for ISIS, which the US invasion of Iraq basically created.

But, for AmeriKKKan politicians and journalists to admit that would be to reveal how evil they are.
The Always Stumbling US Empire
What's a little 
between new Pearl Harbors?
The group, the Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, was founded in 1997. Among its supporters were three Republican former officials who were sitting out the Democratic presidency of Bill Clinton: Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz.
In open letters to Clinton and GOP congressional leaders the next year, the group called for "the removal of Saddam Hussein's regime from power" and a shift toward a more assertive U.S. policy in the Middle East, including the use of force if necessary to unseat Saddam.
And in a report just before the 2000 election that would bring Bush to power, the group predicted that the shift would come about slowly, unless there were "some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor."
That event came on Sept. 11, 2001. By that time, Cheney was vice president, Rumsfeld was secretary of defense, and Wolfowitz his deputy at the Pentagon.
Almost every one of the crab posts on here are about someone who lived to be at least 80 and died in about as peaceful a fashion as anyone would want to
Every time someone evil dies and they live a long life. One of you nerds have to post this. Should be copypasta at this point. We know. They're also dead and we're happy they're dead and we want celebrate them turning into a gender neutral bathroom.
It's more emblematic of how little there is to celebrate. Yup, bad man dead better than bad man alive. But it just feels kinda pathetic to cling to this
Its not fedposting if they're already dead π₯³π₯³

He lived just long enough to watch the BRICS massively overtake the Western imperialist G7 in GDP (PPP)... and then, he croaked.
Seeing the American Century of Humiliation take off was the final nail that led him towards his coffin.
When I was depressed, I once told myself that if I just stay alive long enough I would get to see the day Dick Cheney died. 
Damn, this is a good day, someone check on Kamala, she must be mortified that her good friend is gone 
I hope somebody put a wooden stake in him to make sure he stays dead.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
"That's sick! He may have been evil incarnate, but he was still a family man; a man of conviction; a man you could work with. You all should be ashamed of celebrating his death!"
Lastly, I don't usually think too much about coincidences, but on Sunday I had a clear, out-of-the-blue, thought of "Huh, Dick Cheney is still alive right? That fuckin' sucks..." and I'm extra happy that I never have to have that thought again 
He didn't die soon enough for my tastes, but hey, I'll take the W where I can.
EDIT: To add to the schadenfreude, I present the following:

LMFAOOOOOO GET FUCKEDDDDDDDDD
Finally some good fucking news. I needed that.
Ugh, it sucks that there are probably about to be a whole bunch of articles coming out mourning him and claiming that itβs not ok to celebrate his way too late death.
Other than that,
The most evil person throughout my life is dead. Thank fucking goodness. The same way most of yall felt about Henry Kissinger is how Ive felt about Cheney.
Somebody please call and check on Kamala to see how she's taking the news. I know she loved the Cheneys very much.

Democrats are gonna hold a really solemn funeral for the guy- or at least push for it, aren't they
#dickanda forever
I hope he went out painfully.
another kkkrakkker down unlimited genocide on the first world
I know that you got a job Ms Cheney But your husband's heart problems complicating
Oh no, not the rising young star of the new Democrat party! What ever will we do?
He just died? Wow. * blue jean baby * I didn't know that. You're telling me * LA lady * now for the first time. He led an * seamstress for the band * amazing life. What else can you say? He was an amazing man. * pretty eyed * Whether you agreed or not, he was an amazing man * pirate smile * who led an amazing life. I'm actually saddened to hear that. * you'll marry a music man * I am saddened to hear that. Thank you very much. * ballerina* * ...
Vaxxed?
Wasnβt gonna have a drink today, butβ¦
i bet his heart is still pumping though
(he hadnt had a pulse since 2010 or something?)
Considering his heart issues him making it to his 80s at all was a medical anomaly. Only the good die young.
CNN right on command mourning him and pointing out that in between bombing iraq and torturing muslim men he said "orange man bad".
Just a century too late. Apologies to the rest of the world for the monsters the US constantly produces
I feel relief wash over my body hearing this news
Can't believe this hasn't been posted yet:
Ah damn, who are the dems going to get to campaign for them in the midterms now?
