Certainly has some “gravitas” compared to Shotgun Joe.
Me too..
And I’d take Rummy over Hagel ALL day long...

“I know some freeprs do not like Cheney, but I think he is a national treasure, miss him dearly being VeePee. “
He would have been a manifestly better president than W. We owe much of what we are getting now with FUBO to W. He was not a particularly good president and we should not be looking to “threepeat” with his “I’m in love with Hispanics” brother Jeb. NO more Bushes!

Cheney to obama: I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!
That's a great pic of Cheney.
Condi was a DEMOCRAT....just like Laura Bush.....NEVER trust a faker.
Luv that guy.
That national treasure supported homosexualizing the military.
Cheney is rino.
What did Cheney do on the morning of 911? The Rat Bastard shut down all NA US Air Force response. I’m still looking for a real investigation of the 911 attack. I think the Bush Administration’s trying to appoint NWO tool Kissenger!
