He’s still a liberal enemy. He’s just smart enough to realize that the stench of sending a convicted felon and conman into the White House will stay with the Republican party long after Kamala is gone.

She’s more a traditional American conservative than radical right wing anti American fascist trump and the Republican party he has remade in his insane image.

Not a fan of this man, but I welcome him to the tent. What we have in common is perhaps the most important thing. Love of our country.
Welcome, Dick Cheney. Also, fuck you.

“Once a liberal enemy”?
Seriously? That is what you picked to describe Dick Cheney, Newsweek?
News Flash, liberals still absolutely hate him. However, both Dick Cheney and Liberals hate Trump so goddamn much they are willing to at least briefly be on the same team.
A better headline would be “Dick Cheney will endorse any Man, Woman, Rattlesnake, or Sentient Cheese Wheel on the opposite of Donald Trump, because the depths of how much he loathes that man has no limit”.

Interesting how this type of empathy happens as they all get OLD older – see George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush. I mean I guess they came around, but let’s not forget the legacies.

Donald Trump the great unifier doing the impossible getting Dick Cheney and Jimmy Carter to both vote for Kamala. Who knew?

It doesn’t take heart to vote Harris, but it does require half a brain.

During the Bush II administration, I didn’t think it could possibly get any more evil than Bush and Dick. They’re still evil, but it’s amazing how much further the Republican Party has fallen since then. To the point where even Dick is voting for the Democratic candidate in 2024.

My conspiracy theory is that Trump is a psyop to rehabilitate the reputation of the military industrial complex.

Just because he’s voting the same way I am onetime doesn’t excuse his terrible history.

He and the rest of the torture memo crew who sent a great nation to war based either on lies or incompetence, take yer pick, should be living his last days at the Hague. But we welcome his vote.

I mean… okay, you don’t need to imply that Dick Cheney has turned over a new leaf. Fact of the matter is, if you’re an American Imperial (if you believe that we as a country deserve to exist as the monopole of global political power to whom all either show deference too or burn) you want to get behind Kamala Harris. She’ll preserve the dignity of our country, our international order, our economic might. Donald Trump will not do that.
It’s that simple. If you believe we are an empire, then Harris is our Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Trump is our Caligula.

TerribleAttitude on
A lot of the headlines on this are perplexing. He isn’t changing the fact that he’s a liberal enemy or a Republican. He’s just not voting for Trump (and I’d bet small amounts of money that at least once he voted for not-Trump in a Trump election). I’ll take it, but this isn’t any great penance for his era as VP. He’s not going to turn into a peace-and-love progressive. He’s just smart enough to see what Trump is doing and knows that it is *also* contrary to the ultra-capitalist war-hawk conservative values that he holds dear.

Cheney and the Bushes are an integral part of the “populist” ecosystem that enabled the GOP to inflame and harness white working class rage to win elections.
Trump is part of the Frankenstein they helped create.
