The timing (Cheney’s death and legacy, Mamdani’s rise in New York City) does give pause for some reflection.

The clip of Mamdani learning the news while waiting to cast his vote:

Surprised he didn’t say “Who?”.

Dick Cheney died while he was voting? Who wrote this headline?

They couldn’t care less. Look how quickly that wife of his went back to what she was focusing on. And he gave the bare minimum of concern on his face.

Just some old white dude to them, whatever.

He became citizen in 2018.
Ten years after Cheney got out of office.
So he may not even remember him.

A good reason not to vote.

I’m as anti-Mamdani as anyone, but I watched the video... and there’s no there there. If Mamdani had taken potshots at Dick Cheney, that would have been a story. If Mamdani had asked, “Who’s Dick Cheney?,” that would have been a story. But “Oh, when did that happen?” was a neutral, innocuous response. I can’t knock Mamdani for not being devastated by the loss of Dick Cheney... when I myself wasn’t exactly devastated by the loss of the Kamala-endorsing bastard.

About Dick? I could not care less either, and I'm to the right of Joe McCarthy.

“Who?”

Would more likely have been FJB’s response. But then again, that was his response when someone brought up Kamala’s name . . .

Yeah it wasn’t a tense reaction in the least. Respectful and understandably distracted because be was casting a ballot.

Cheney died on election day?

His last words were “Donald Rumsfeld still survives,” but Rumsfeld had already passed away ... four years ago ...

Raising the question.....does his vote still count?

Media going to report everytime ZM takes a shit? Tell us it doesn’t stink?

They will cover him as they did Obama? Sun halos and shadow photos that show crowns on his head?

I watched the video and my thought was, “well, that was a waste of time” as is the article.

Chances are Mamdani didn’t know who Cheney was and had to ask an aide to fill him in.

They couldn’t care less.

And, honestly, neither do I, much.
