MUST READ. I wish I could post the entire article - it's about a 4 minute read chock full of Pence rebutting rumor and inuendos that has kept Cheney from getting his beauty rest.

[mindburglar]

Looks to me like Cheney did Pence and the administration a solid. He asked Pence directly all the stuff the ankle biters mumble about.

At the same time it showed Pence as an unwavering supporter of the POTUS.

[Leaning Right]

Cheney and Pence.

One of them helped get the United States into a ruinous war in Iraq.
One of them advocated policies that destabilized the Middle East.
One of them thinks Trump’s “America first” policy is wrong.

One of them should just shut up and go away.

[Jeff Chandler]

Given the history of our foreign policy in this century, Cheney should find himself a dark hole far away to slink into and hide his face.

Dick Cheney was nothing more than a Sunni Muslim tool in the U.S. government. He was one of the biggest reasons why Jeb Bush was less popular than a child molester among Republican primary voters in 2016.

" ... major Republican financiers"

Yes, the RINO-owners are very critical of President Trump. Trump doesn't work for them, but for us.
(Shame he has to be nice to them because Trump needs RINO votes in Congress.)

I read the entire article after enduring the wave of ads and crapola on the Compost site. Pence was far to obliging and polite to Cheney. The last two administrations both have a lot to answer for. The Iraq War seems to have been nothing but some hubris enterprise to prove the US could profoundly transform another country at gun point. BHO managed to improve on the Bush ‘Democracy Project’ with ‘Arab Spring’ which created the incredibly destructive internal war in Syria and left Libya a broken country prey to Islamacists and almost delivered Egypt to Islamacists. Why did Pence even go to an event paid for by AEI the K Street globalist mouthpiece anti-Trump organization?

Mike is not like a dick.

Did a miss a capital letter?

[nathanbedford]

Seeing references to a transcript, I searched in vain for a transcript but I did notice that the report, which I read in full, says that this is a report from someone not authorized to report and then rigid and into a story by a second party, a reporter presumably from the Washington Post.

It sounds like hearsay on hearsay and as such I put very little credence in the tone which the writer seeks to inject into the exchange between the vice president and the former vice president, nor do I infer that any of the questions themselves properly exposed Cheney as a severe critic of the administration.

An actual transcript might be dispositive, right now all we have is the administration hating Washington Post reporting thirdhand between a vice president whom they hate and a former vice president whom they really hate concerning the policies of the president whom they really, really hate.

Fake news?

We are still in Afghanistan now, because W. took his eye of the ball and went into Iraq. The coalition would have finished off the Taliban and been out of Afghanistan before Obama was elected. There’s a pretty good chance that had the US not gone into Iraq, there wouldn’t have been an Obama presidency.

Is there any difference between unnamed sources and a leaked transcript provided by a unnamed source?

[kenmcg]

Cheney trying to defend 18 years of fighting in Iraq......with little accomplished.

[Vermont Lt]

The problem with politicians is they just don’t retire.

Go to bed Dick. Just go away.

[teeman8r]

after the chat, pence declined an invitation to go quail hunting ...

[faucetman]

Cheney was a “War time consiglere “, we don’t need that now. Put your hawk back in his cage.

[montag813]

Cheney is a piece of shit. Just say it. Indefensible.

[TADSLOS]

Mike Pence should just be thankful The Dick didn’t take him bird hunting.

[Antoninus]

Cheney should sit down and shut up. His time is past and he and his boss screwed up enough things.

[FLT-bird]

The bottom line is that the vast majority of the American people agree with President Trump and not with the neocons about this. We do not want to be the world’s policeman. It is not our responsibility to fight every battle for everybody else. Defend our vital national interests? Absolutely! Get involved militarily because some tyrant or warlord in some irrelevant shithole is doing bad things and that hurts our feelings? Hell no.

Tell the Yurps the time for counting on Uncle Sugar to provide for their defense for them is over? Hell yes!

[1Old Pro]

Maybe we should start with something SIMPLE, have Cheney get the Bushes et al on board with protecting OUR country first, BUILD THE WALL!

[CharleysPride]

Pence should take a page from Don Junior’s book and stand up for what the President has accomplished.

Limp Dick Cheney was the spiritual father of a disastrous war that this country has yet to recover from, if Dick is really feeling the blood lust I suggest he go hunting.

Pax Trumpana, Baby!
