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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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-democrat "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 bloomer

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. stalin-feels-good

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 it’s not ok to celebrate his way too late death.

Other than that, crab-party

i bet his heart is still pumping though

(he hadnt had a pulse since 2010 or something?)

[–] moss_icon@hexbear.net 34 points 6 days ago

Considering his heart issues him making it to his 80s at all was a medical anomaly. Only the good die young.

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

CNN right on command mourning him and pointing out that in between bombing iraq and torturing muslim men he said "orange man bad".

BREAKING: In his final moments, Dick Cheney received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

[–] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 24 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

Normally this sort of joke is fun but in this case I find it very distasteful and somewhat upsetting. I really do not like this sort of joke for Dick Cheney. The man murdered over a million Muslims and it's gross to even imagine him converting or being accepted as a convert on his deathbed. For a comparably gross joke, imagine someone saying "Hitler converted to Judaism in the bunker".

If God is real, Cheney must burn in Hell for there to be any semblance of justice.
