Past presidents and politicians of both parties will gather Thursday in Washington, DC, for former Vice President Dick Cheney’s funeral — sending off a key figure of pre-MAGA Republican politics.
But neither Donald Trump nor JD Vance were invited to Cheney’s funeral, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Cheney will receive full military honors at the memorial service, which is expected to be a bipartisan who’s who of Washington dignitaries.

Imagine being too evil for the Cheneys

Its not even being evil. That takes a certain amount of intelligence and/or cunning. This is just being such a shitty person you don't get invited to some shitstains funeral because everyone knows you have the self control of a three year old.

Crazy how much they're talking about him like he was the last conservative statesman, like he wasn't a corrupt partisan oligarch willing to murder for his own personal profit. Like, he didn't become a better person, that's just how bad the Trump era has gotten.

The main difference between Bush/Cheney-era bastards and Trump-era bastards is discretion. They were both making bank on the Federal dime, but politicians used to be discreet about it.
But I guess that Trump's superpower. He doesnt think corruption is so something to be embarrassed by or kept on the down low. He shouts his corruption out loud and dares everyone to do something about it.

Exactly. I'm not the type that thinks that's not a real difference. Open corruption shifts the political culture in very toxic and destructive ways. When people no longer think corruption is something to hide, the floodgates open and anything goes.

Must be comforting to be able to believe in fairy tales.

Sometimes it's worth making an exception, just like kids and Santa Claus. Let him have this one.

Nobody should go to an event honouring this mass murderer.

It's less about respecting Cheney and more about excluding Trump out of something. He's such a baby it will make him furious.

He should have died in prison.

At bare minimum, he shouldn't have been given a 2nd heart.

We're saddled with Trump (previously and again) in part, because of him.

Trump and Vance typically struggle to burry Dick and are rarely invited to such occasions.

So, using the Team America metaphor, who are the pussies and assholes in this scenario?

I'd be more interested in identifying the dicks that are pounding both

I feel like in that analogy we're at a point where its just all shit every were as we try to at the very least plug the assholes so the constant shit river stops.

Nobody because that movie and analogy sucks and is nothing but excusing imperialism .

No mention of Obama being invited.
