When you lose Dick Cheney....

Verbatim: Dick Cheney Criticizes Donald Trump’s Muslim Policy

Well I think this whole notion that somehow we need to say no more Muslims and just ban a whole religion goes against everything we stand for and believe in. I mean religious freedom’s been a very important part of our, our history.”


— Dick Cheney, the former vice president, speaking to the conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt and referring to a proposal by Donald J. Trump to bar Muslims from entering the country.

Bush and Cheney are GOP elitist liberal scum.

Seriously, that's how far this shit has gone.

in favor of another Repuke Nutcase who will do his evil bidding. I will not believe that he suddenly has compassion for a people or a religion. He would blow them all sky high if they happened to be sitting on oil.

Cheney is an EVIL SOB, and I wouldn't put any stock into the fact that he is going after Trump. And it does not mean that Trump is so crazy that even a dickhead like Cheney thinks he's too extreme.

Not to mention that the republican establishment itself also is not happy with Trump leading the polls. Cheney is just towing the party line, and besides, he doesn't give a shit about the people of this country or this country for that matter. He's out for himself and his associates, whoever they are at the time.
