I understand since Cheney hates Trump he gets a pass. Not in my book.

I just find it strange that you hold up Cheney as an icon of evil (which I suppose he is), to such an extent that it was his endorsement of Kamala that persuade you to switch to Trump, as if Trump was some kind of anti-Cheney -- when in fact, at the time, Trump supported the exact same awful, evil stuff that Cheney did.

I understand since Cheney hates Trump he gets a pass.

You misunderstand. Very obviously no one is suggesting that.

You're literally saying Trump is just as bad as Cheney because he said "I guess" we should invade Iraq in 2003.

Cheney actually invaded Iraq. And the Trump presidency was the most peaceful this century.

There's a difference between actions and words. Pretty much every argument against Trump is just a list of random stuff he's said.

Meanwhile Cheney actually murders x number of people and that's equivalent to Trump opening his mouth.

Indicating his clear, unequivocal support.

Again, he just says words and you equate that to actually killing x number of people.

TDS is a real thing.

No, it's equivalent to being just another windbag politician who, depending on which way the wind blows, and what he thinks his audience wants to hear, will happily support all the big, bad evil things that you pretend he is opposed to. And not only that, he'll double down and say: "I wish we had finished the job the first time."
