So both VP candidates from the 2000 election

would go on to endorse the presidential candidate from the opposition party.
Lieberman to his shame in 08. And now Cheney to his credit.

Damn who would have ever thought that Cheney would turn out to be the more ethical one.

that Big Cheney would publicly endorse Harris. But I sure as fuck knew Lieberman was a weasel and a troll which is why I voted for Nader (in my solidly blue state, don’t @ me).

But it cleans him up a little - like hoses off the visible blood, brain, and bone matter. At least he's showing humanity for "Americans" that he couldn't show to brown people overseas. But a broken clock is right twice a day, even for even Mr. Dick "Go Fuck Yourself" Cheney.

I remember hearing that Dan Quayle told Mike Pence not to go through with what Trump told him to do about certification.

Also that Cheney played a part in getting more assistance to stop the insurrection.

Just shows you what an arrogant ,know nothing psychopath, tsf is, when one of the dumbest VP's in history and another former VP, who was a war hawk, were still better than him.
