No I don’t fucking care who Bush or Cheney fucking endorse, actually.

 Two reptilian pieces of shit who should never have had control over the country for as long as they did.

“....But I need them to support Kamala! >:O 

I don’t care that they’re war mongers! I need a tweet with 15K likes! >:O “


What fucking lead paint chips do performance liberals eat? Jesus Christ. YOUR OWN vote should be enough.

I find the whole thing amusing. Welcome to the Resistance, Liz and Dick. You don't get any of the coffee and donuts though. Showercap's rule, not mine.

Also there is no way in hell Dubya will endorse Kamala. Why? There are three certainties in life: Death, taxes, and George W Bush failing America. Luckily we don't need him for this, but him not Meeting The Moment is his entire brand.

This goes for Mitt Romney too, by the way. Another chickenshit masquerading as a "traditional" Republican.

Dick Cheney is everything wrong with the Republican Party. He is the consummate evil and heartless face of the entire neocon movement. Anybody who calls Dick Cheney as RINO has no credibility.

And that's why the endorsement matters. It doesn't matter to you or me. We both think the guy can eat shit. But for many old-school Republicans having a fit of conscience over the crisis we are in, someone as awful as Cheney endorsing Kamala tells them "This is too far, even for me, and you aren't obligated to stand for it." If a shitstain like Dick Cheney can do it, anyone can. That's the message. It's not designed for those of us who hate him and wish him an a terrible end. It'll help around the margins. And in a close election it could be decisive.

Cheney's endorsement probably isn't actually gonna burst the dam on Republicans turning on Trump. But it's a crack in that dam, and pretty big and unprecedented one too.

Truthfully a couple of days ago I was your level of apathetic about it. But it actually appears to be having an effect. It's not an effect I understand, but I am hearing a LOT of examples of it changing minds. Which seems crazy and stupid to me, but it's why it matters.
