So I ask again - is the Dick

still in intensive care?

In this case no news is not good news?

rich and evil.

but it's been 10 days since we heard a single word about the Dick. If he had left intensive care we would have heard by now. Why are they hiding the truth. I just hope he's conscious.

reviewing his life's history. Nightmares have a way of breaking down your defense mechanisms. You try to run from your imagined enemies, your shadow projections turn on you, you try to run...and your muscles go all weak and mushy. :evilgrin:

My guess is they're hiding the truth because there is likely little change to report. He's probably still in ICU and plugged to a wall with a snarl permanently etched on his scary face...

When reports do emerge, either he'll be getting wheeled out of ICU with a battery pack flushing his blood through his system, or he'll be packed on ice with a toe-tag. I'm betting on the latter.

His time has come.

just like when he was in office





OH, Wait.........





Never mind

a blackout in place regarding anything going on with him. That's his right, I guess, but us 'concerned' citizens would really like to know how he is doing healthwise. :evilgrin:

I check at least twice a day. This is very important to me. See if you can find out if he's conscious!! I need to know if he's feeling the kind of pain and fear he inflicted on fellow human beings. That's very, very important to me. :evilgrin:

Last I heard - maybe 2 weeks ago - he was resting at home.

When they told us was was sent home he was moved from his regular hospital to another one and was still in intensive care. Don't forget he critically ill Dick sent us a personal note. We've heard nothing since.

Fortunately I missed that.

He was still in intensive care and we haven't heard a word since.

Former vice president Dick Cheney, 69, announced Wednesday that doctors implanted a small pump in his chest last week to support his failing heart.

Cheney, who has suffered five heart attacks since the age of 37, says doctors at Inova Heart and Vascular Institute in Northern Virginia implanted the pump to remedy his "increasing congestive heart failure."

"The operation went very well and I am now recuperating," Cheney said in a statement released by his office. He said the pump will allow him to resume an active life.

You're welcome, big dick. :evilgrin:

:evilgrin:

The pumps are partial artificial hearts known as ventricular assist devices. Cheney's kind is about the size of a D-Cell battery and leaves most recipients without a pulse because it pushes blood continuously instead of mimicking the heart's own pulsatile beat.

The last thing we heard was intensive care. Did he ever have a heart let alone a pulse??

any reports that he went home. Thought I did read or hear it somewhere...sorry. :hide:

"Patients need to take an anticoagulant, like Coumadin (warfarin) and have blood tests to monitor the amount."

Feeding warfarin --rat poison -- to an actual rat. :evilgrin:

:rofl:

Sadly. :(

I don't join the Dick Cheney Dying Glee Club. He has gone home to die. I know we all would like to see him repent, a la Lee Atwater, but that probably won't happen. If he needs to be plugged in to just breathe,then that has got to be SOME punishment for his sins. I don't know if I'd want that to go on for very long...

His family is reduced to watching him die slowly. How this will affect Liz is hard to know. I would hope she would become a more tolerant person, willing to listen to others beside her RW cohorts. And stop her perpetual tirade against US. But I don't know...

I mean that in the best possible way. I also hope that it would warm the hearts of his family and that they'd all have an epiphany but I'm not holding my breath.

What I do know is that he has the best health care that money can buy, all of it paid for by the destruction of our country. I have zero sympathy for him.

I think there is just acceptance. That is all I am really saying. It is what it is. He is dying and we are still alive and living. I take no satisfaction in that one way or another. It is IS.

Right now, I imagine his family is trying to decide when they pull the plug. I'm sure they are not talking about politics. They are talking about how to care for this guy, what to do, when and if. Sure, he has plenty of money to ensure that there are home health aides about, but all that is left is a wrangle over money. And WOW, is that a biggie when there is BIG MONEY involved. If you can, imagine them all getting into a HUGE family fight over Dick's money! Now THAT's worth the popcorn!

I also await the headlines on Extra about the inheritance fight. :toast:

I'm not part of the "we" that "would like to see him repent". I have zero interest in whether or not he has a deathbed confession, where he seeks absolution from whatever BS he believes. It wouldn't make a rat's ass bit of difference to me - or his guilt - if he did...he would still be a piece of shit war criminal.

He is guilty of implementing a torture program (and not just him). He abused the power of office, attacked civil liberties, eroded rights, corrupted the very idea of the separation of powers ("unitary executive"), as well as checks and balances. He violated the Constitution. He, and by no means him alone, inflicted great damage on America. Fuck him. He's not in prison..so he got away with it...no matter how painful his eventual death is for him or his family.

And you know what? We are finished, too? What are you going to do with this after he is dead and gone? I really feel this is wasted time and breath and energy.

Better to move on and devote whatever energy we have to tasks at hand...

However, that doesn't mean I just allow unprosecuted war crimes, or the unprosecuted war criminals who committed them, to be casually forgotten as something best left in the past...as something that must be moved on from because America is just too weak? too corrupt? too lazy? too cowardly? too????? - to do anything about them. Then we have to hear idiots ask, "How did this happen?" the next time a President goes on a criminal spree. Bush/Cheney were hardly the first to get away with their crimes. America moved on from the crimes of Reagan and Bush...and those Iran-Contra thugs ended up back in office in 2000. I guess some people are OK with that...I'm not one of those people. See, I think we can do better....though evidence does seem to indicate otherwise.

Allowing war criminals to go free doesn't make or break the enjoyment in my life - and I do so enjoy my life.....but it does reflect poorly on my country and my government - and it does reflect poorly on those who are all too willing to just give war criminals a pass.

So I'll never be "finished" with pointing out that Cheney (and the rest) got away with his crimes....because I won't forget that he did.

Believe me, if there was a way that I could bring about justice on this man, I would do it.

Perhaps the only way we can bring some justice to the situation is to condemn his "legacy" wherever we find it. Let's start with Liz. We can oppose her with the full force of our outrage, for she is carrying on his vile "philosophy" and advocating his policies. He is out of the picture. She is very much IN the picture and will continue to be so, perhaps even more furious once he is gone. So let's go after her every chance we get...

He is gone!

His life depends on being literally plugged in to the wall now. All that money just to end up being dependent on batteries and the electrical grid.

find was an elephant's trunk.
