WASHINGTON (AP) — Dick Cheney, the hard-charging conservative who became one of the most powerful and polarizing vice presidents in U.S. history and a leading advocate for the invasion of Iraq, has died at age 84.
Cheney died Monday night due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease, his family said in a statement.
“For decades, Dick Cheney served our nation, including as White House Chief of Staff, Wyoming’s Congressman, Secretary of Defense, and Vice President of the United States,” the statement said. “Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing. We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man.”

Good guy until TDS had a nice place down by St Michaels on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
No comment...
The hate he had for Trump kept him warm in WY. Now he feels a different heat. Also, daddy-issues Liz is hurt. Good.
Oh well, that’s his problem.
I always thought his TDS was a sham, just to boost his daughters BS political aspirations
Gotta be noticed, ya know!
I would like to have seem him hauled off to the Hague in handcuffs to stand trial for his role in the Iraq War, but he has now faced Perfect Justice.
Cheney deserves our praise and loathing. Praise for his service to nation. Loathing for being one of the architects of American policy after the fall of the Soviet Union and in the aftermath of 9/11.
His entire legacy ruined by his daughter Lizard Cheney.
At least his other militant lesbian daughter had the sense to stay out of national politics. And mother\wife Lynne Cheney stayed out of the TDS arena.
He was so “powerful” because George W bush was so stupid and inept.
Well, bye.
SMH.
Congrats to so many folks finding common ground with the DUmmies and KozKidz
Dick Cheney suffered his first heart attack at age 37. Some five heart attacks later, Cheney received a heart transplant at age 71. His death at age 84 portrays remarkable longevity in light of his otherwise debilitating cardiac history.
I think they must have transplanted his brain, as well.

Don’t worry, folks.
Liz Cheney will keep coming out with new anti-Trump messages from him, for years.
She probably has an AI made up to provide the videos.
That which was Deep State has been sterilized!
Cheney received a heart transplant at age 71.
I come to believe he also had a Jarvis artificial heart for a spell. Before his transplant. It was some time ago, but I thought he said say so during a news interview, maybe 4-5 yrs ago. It always boggled my brain how he was still alive all these yrs. The common folk woulda been worm food early on.
They’ll have an honor guard rake the casket with bird shot as part of a 21-shotgun salute.
I’m with you on this one.
