“In our nation’s 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” so says former Vice President Dick Cheney in a campaign ad released Thursday for his daughter’s floundering re-election campaign.
Cheney bases this assessment on his claim that Trump is a liar. According to Cheney, Trump is “a coward” and not a “real man” because “a real man wouldn’t lie to his supporters.”
Would a “real man” lie to the world? That’s what Dick Cheney did.
As Donald Trump famously stated in 2016 during the Republican debate right before the South Carolina primary (which Trump won): “Obviously, the war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake. They lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none, and they knew there were none.” (emphasis added)
Cheney—widely regarded as the brains behind President George W. Bush’s disastrous administration—was one of the architects of the Iraq War.
Cheney’s shortsighted hubristic foreign adventure cost America and our allies dearly in blood and treasure, not to mention the horrors his war inflicted on the Iraqi people.
A full reckoning of Dick Cheney’s misdeeds is beyond the scope of one article. (Did I mention the savage torture of Iraqi prisoners that the Bush-Cheney administration’s defense secretary approved, according to the U.S. brigadier general who ran the prison? That alone would take multiple volumes.) But let’s just consider the big lies.
First, the Bush-Cheney administration told us that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). We were told that Iraq had sought to buy uranium oxide, aka

I wish these communist maggots would make up their minds about what is the greatest threat against ‘merica. They’ve got me running around like a chicken with his head cut off. I’m still convinced that the greatest threat against “democrazy” is toe fungus.
Exactly..and the reason why the Cheneys hate Trump is NOT because of Jan 6th, honestly they could give a rats behind about Jan 6th..the REAL reason why the Cheneys hate Trump is because Trump spoke out against the Iraq war, against the Bush Administration..and NEVER put the US into any new wars, meanwhile the Cheneys love war and would have no issue sending more brave men and women to die in sh*thole countries tomorrow
I won’t take offense because it is true I am following the Free Republic guidelines of self-restraint. At least most of the time.

REBECCA MANSOUR used to run Conservatives4Palin years ago.
Cheney has an awful lot he doesn’t want exposed.
Did DJT have a reply back to the Dick?
Yeah, I don't see anything about "turd" or "tard" in them guidelines.
You're just askeered that them nuns will whoop you again.
They just some mean old ladies, you might could beat 'em if you tried.
The elder Cheney had to say that to protect his brain dead daughter.
In a somewhat dull suspense-thriller, Amazon Original movie produced a few years ago, Dick Cheney is mentioned any number of times as a person dictating policy under Bush and who intentionally withheld critical CIA information from the POTUS.
The movie is called “The Report.” It’s one-sided in that it’s told from a Democrat staffer’s perspective. Still, it’s pretty darned close to what you would expect would be happening in the offices of Congress at the time.
It might refresh old memories about Dick. It’s a bit graphic using actual footage of prisoner torture in CIA-run prison camps.

The single issue in this entire campaign, apparently, is Liz Cheney’s (personal) war with President Trump.
I don’t support what Cheney did in that ad, but at the same time, I’m not going to dust off old DNC talking points / Ted Kennedy speeches to attack him, either.
This is shameful.
Cheney is a certifiable a**hole. His witch of a daughter learned from him well.
Indeed.
He's arguing off the point and appealing to emotions all with a false narrative.
One suspects that it's a last gasp, with fewer than two weeks before daughter Liz is justifiably, and forever humiliated by the voting citizens whose clear will she chose to reject, and contemptuously so.
Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz are more of a threat to this country than Donald Trump ever was or will be.
The domestic surveillance apparatchik he helped establish was used in an attempt to thwart a presedential candidate of the opposing party in 2016.
THAT attempted coup is the true threat to democracy, NOT the purported “insurrection”.
Wouldn't Bush and Cheney's supposedly illegitimate election and then them taking office be more damaging to our nation that anything that President Trump did after his contested elections?
According to Cheney Donald Trump, a former US President, is more of a risk to our nation than King George the 3rd was. He's the guy that sent soldiers to try to kill George Washington and the other founders, and he sent his army to burn Washington DC in the war of 1812. They actually did burn the White House.
And then there were the leaders of the Confederacy, the Germans and Japanese in WW II, various terrorists, and many others.
Cheney thinks we are dumb, just like his daughter.
