Is Dick Cheney Advising President-Elect Biden?
The Dispatch ^ | 11.7.2020 | Alec Dent

Posted on 11/11/2020 8:07:59 PM PST by libh8er

A tweet claiming that CNN reported former Vice President Dick Cheney will be advising President-elect Joe Biden on foreign policy went viral on Twitter:

CNN has reported no such thing. A review of the network’s recent election coverage does not include any reporting to suggest Cheney will advise Biden in any capacity, and CNN's head of strategic communications, Matt Dornic, took to Twitter to set the record straight:

Cheney advising Biden? I shudder at the thought.

Cheney: Look Joe, you gotta start at least one war - and maybe two.
Biden: (mumbles)
Cheney: All the great presidents were war presidents! So go ahead, just do it!
Biden: Well, if you say so sir.

No way. Lynne Cheney wouldn't go near Biden. And Harris?! Get real. Look, I used to be a Neo-Con, too. People can evolve. But even when I was a Neo-Con, I never would have touched Biden/Harris, especially under these circumstances. Don't let the Dems mess with your head.

People change. I never slobbered over VP Cheney (was a bit sore when he ordered the tooling of the F-14 destroyed when he was Sec of Defense), but anyone who was a big fan of the man as VP was a fan from 2000-2008. A baby born when VP Cheney went to the WH could be a full adult fighting America’s enemies overseas. Anyway, point is that people can change.

Same reason why I don’t like it when Libs criticize (for example) jokes that were made by someone in 1996!!!! Yes, making a joke with the C word may not be acceptable in many comedy clubs these days, but in 1996 it was common. But then you see a person being blackballed for something they did decades back.

Same reason by the way I am not jumping into the bandwagon criticizing Tucker Carlson for (allegedly ...few people heard it, so allegedly) calling VP Biden ‘President Elect’ Biden. Tucker often uses a lot of sarcasm, so unless I heard it I can’t judge it. But even if he said it, and even if he meant it, it doesn’t change the good he did in the past. It would only mean he changed, and while I may not listen to him going forward I will not say he was ‘this or that.’ I’d simply say he changed.

So, for VP Cheney. Maybe he’s not advising VP Biden, making the whole discussion moot. But, if he is, then maybe it means he changed. Or maybe he never changed and was always a closet Liberal. Whatever the case may be, it doesn’t affect what people thought of him between 12-20 years ago.

We will be in a war within year one.

I agree and even more so after Kamala recently made comments on Syria and:On Apr. 6, 2017, Senator Harris issued a statement calling for US military action in Syria,

Even if he’s NOT - spread this story far and wide - it will make the code pinkos froth at the mouth and point out the entire hypocrisy of the dems from 2000-2008

But there are wars to be had around the world. What kind of self-respecting neo-con doesn't want to send our young men and women off to die for some other poor bass turd's country?

The DC Establishment must be dismantled and sent howling into the wilderness. What do I means by the ‘DC Establishment’? I am talking about the Uniparty where the party bosses of both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party always keep things at a razors edge so they get everyone worked up and, because of the close margins, they have an excuse for the worst legislation that they can get away with. That is how they can get away with phucking regular Americans overi.

It is a con game where both political parties do not want a clear winner and all legislation is on the edge because it is their ‘license to steal’. That is why the leadership of both political parties hate President Trump so much. He was not playing their game to rip everyday Americans off and so they worked together to make sure he went away.

No way would Cheney touch Biden at this point

Actually, Biden’s foreign policy is very similar to Cheney’s. Biden’s top advisors want us to go in and overthrow the Syrian government - exactly what Cheney wants. More neocon war making. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Cheney’s working with Biden. Some of the Project Lincoln people are close to Cheney, and they worked to elect Biden.

Wouldn’t Biden be ordered to surround himself with Obama and Hillary jesters?
