Trump's reaction will be interesting given Liz.

I imagine he will put out an appropriate official WH message of condolence.. And then say something terrible at 3 a.m. sometime later in the week.

A war criminal died today. That's what a real leader would say.

The R's don't exactly "hate" him for it, but they turned on him/neocons for the war thing too.

He's gone to the great hunting field in the sky. Bet the guy he shot has been waiting for him.

He can also catch up with the vet who would've been identified as a potential organ donor match by his military records that died auspiciously in a car wreck just in time to donate his heart to dick-- according the biopic that came out a few years ago.

He was one of the most impactful political figures in the last 50 years having high level positions across at least 3 administrations. With Bush 43 he was a very active and involved Veep. With W on travel the morning of 9/11 he was in charge in the situation room briefly. In the end he was largely universally exiled and reviled.

The MAGA R's hated him, just as they hate Romney, George Will, Liz Cheney, Pence, Bolton, Dan Coats, John Kelly, and on and on and on and on.

IMO our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan was the worst political mistake of the 21st century. That doesn't mean I'm glad he died. I am glad the Republican party learned from this and no longer practice Bush/Cheney foreign policy

I can't explain why they like Trump but we have good reason to not like those people (except George Will).

100% MAGA hates anyone who doesnt subjugate themselves to their Orange Christ, even if it was the real JC.

I didn't like him (didn't hate him) simply because he was the epitome of the political establishment.

RIP Mr Cheney

The invasion of Afghanistan wasn't a mistake, that had to be done. It was the after the invasion that was a terrible mistake.

Iraq was a mistake from the jump.

Afghanistan should have been done strictly from the air. Boots on the ground was the mistake

You can't get to $2T with just airstrikes, not even close.
