REMEMBER WHEN CHENEY

REMEMBER WHEN CHENEY WAS CONSIDERED THE MOST EVIL MAN IN AMERICAN POLITICS? LIKE, IT'S WEIRD THINKING ABOUT THIS IN A MODERN POLITICAL LANDSCAPE, BUT AT THE TIME OF HIS VICE PRESIDENCY, DICK CHENEY WAS GENUINELY THE MOST POWERFUL PERSON IN WASHINGTON AND ONE OF THE MOST VILE. IT ISN'T JUST THAT OF THE MOST EVIL PART PEOPLE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. IT'S THE FACT THAT HE ACTUALLY HAD POWER. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T REMEMBER OR WEREN'T ALIVE AT THE TIME, ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS FOR DICK CHENEY WAS THE ARCHITECT BEHIND ESSENTIALLY OUR ENTIRE WAR ON TERROR. ALL OF THE DESTRUCTION THAT WAS WROUGHT DURING THAT WAR ON TERROR THAT CONTINUES TO HAUNT US TO THIS DAY WAS DICK CHENEY'S FAULT, ESPECIALLY THE ENHANCED INTERROGATION TACTICS, AS WELL AS ESPECIALLY OUR INVOLVEMENT IN IRAQ. THERE'S A LOT ABOUT DICK CHENEY'S POLICIES AND BASICALLY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM ENDS WITH IT WAS AWFUL AND HURT A LOT OF PEOPLE. BUT [AN] IMPORTANT ABOUT CHENEY WAS HE EXPANDED THE POWER OF THE VICE PRESIDENCY IN AN UNPRECEDENTED WAY. HE WAS CONSIDERED THE MOST POWERFUL VICE PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY AND STILL IS. THERE'S A REASON WHY CARTOONS ABOUT BUSH'S PRESIDENCY SHOW IDIOT AND CHENEY BECAUSE HE'S THE ONE WHO BASICALLY MADE ALL OF THE DECISIONS, AND IT DID NOT GO WELL. ANYWAY, HE'S DEAD NOW, SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S COOL.
