(14 posts)(By the way, was his daughter Liz estranged from him? I never heard her publicly condemn him so I imagine she was still in contact with her dad. Lots of DUers seemed to like Liz because she put down Trump. Similar to liking Dubya--arguably a war criminal every bit as much Cheney was--simply because he was friendly with Michelle Obama and may have said things against Trump. Even though this very site began as a reaction to Dubya's administration.

But it's also a moment where you realize how "young" he was at 59/60 when he was elected VP.
Just makes me dread Vance all the more, but it also reinforces that things aren't going to go well for Trump for much longer.

(31,000 posts)He is not charismatic. There is no possible universe outside of the absurd one we currently occupy in which JD Vance rises beyond chairman of a minor library board in stature.
Let me try to summon up some sadness and tears......
Nope. I got nothing. One more evil, self-serving bastard has left our planet. Now can we have a twofer?? Make my day.

llmart
(17,067 posts)He was just the frat boy doofus who took his direction from Cheney. Doesn't mean I like him but I don't believe he was evil like Trump and Cheney. Would I shed a tear over Bush Jr.? Nope. But for the most part, he's persona non gratis these days, just painting his toes in the bathtub.

DFW
(59,342 posts)On the other hand, Cheney WAS responsible for Roberts and Alito, without whom Trump would be nowhere.
Maybe it just boils down to how much, if any, Trump ever saw of that $9 billion in cash that disappeared in the Iraqi desert during Cheneys momentary lapse of memory.

(194 posts)We are running out of people from the Vietnam era, and there have been a heck of a lot more people who got out of going, than went. Off the top of my head those who went were and ran for president
Gore
McCain
Kerry
those who didn't
Romney, Cheney, Trump, Clinton, Biden. I'd certainly place Bush in this category too.
For many of that generation what you did mattered.
FakeNoose
(39,444 posts)I can't blame the guy one bit. The Vietnam Era was over 50 years ago, so most of those contemporaries are retired or gone to their greater reward by now.
