Funeral held for former US vice president, Iraq War architect Dick Cheney

man, just went through all those pics of dick cheney at his funeral and i'm still tryin to process my emotions lol. it's crazy how somber everyone looked, even joe biden who's usually so... well you know . but what really got me was kamala harris deliverin that eulogy like she was just talkin about dick as a friend or somethin . i mean i get it, we gotta be respectful and all, but come on folks, the dude was a major contributor to one of the most brutal wars in recent history . hundreds of thousands of civilians dead, millions more sufferin from indirect causes... it's wild how some people just brush that under the rug . anywayz, dick cheney may be laid to rest, but his legacy lives on in our collective guilt and shame .

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how Cheney's passing was met with such somberness . I mean, don't get me wrong, he did serve his country and all that, but let's be real, his legacy is pretty much tainted by the whole Iraq War debacle . It's weird that his own party glossed over the controversies surrounding him during the ceremony, and even weirder that no one (except for Trump) seemed to bring it up . I'm all for respecting the deceased and honoring their service, but come on, let's acknowledge the elephant in the room too . It's like we're pretending he was some kind of saint when really, his actions had some pretty serious consequences .

Just saw that somber memorial for Dick Cheney ... it's crazy how some people get to live life with their actions having such a huge impact on so many others. I mean, you can't ignore the fact that he was all about pushing forward policies that led to human rights abuses and even loss of thousands of lives in Iraq . It's weird that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden didn't mention it in his eulogy, though... maybe they just wanted to focus on his time serving the country? Still, you can't help but wonder what could've been done differently to prevent some of those tragedies... would've been nice if more people had spoken out against him back then .

Ugh, I'm so done with all this fake niceness . Can't believe they glossed over Cheney's role in one of the biggest disasters in US history - the Iraq War! Millions of innocent lives lost, and all he gets is a nice eulogy from Biden and a nod from Bush. It's like they're trying to erase the elephant in the room, but I'm not buying it .

And what's up with Kamala Harris not saying a word about Cheney's war crimes? She must have been brainwashed or something. Or maybe she was just too scared to rock the boat... which is exactly what the establishment does - they silence dissenting voices and sweep controversies under the rug. It's like, can't we talk about this stuff anymore?

I mean, I get it, people die, and we gotta show respect, but come on! Let's at least acknowledge the harm Cheney caused. His legacy is a stain on US history, and I'm still fuming about it . It's time for some real reckoning, not just empty words and photo ops .

Wow , it's crazy how some people just ignore the controversy surrounding Dick Cheney's time as VP, especially given the massive impact his policies had on the world. Interesting how Kamala Harris and Joe Biden chose not to mention those details in their eulogies. And what's with Trump skipping the ceremony? Guess you can't escape the elephant in the room forever

I'm shocked someone actually got away with this... I mean, who's surprised that they left out the whole " weapons of mass destruction" thing? Like, come on, it's not like that's a major controversy or anything . And don't even get me started on Kamala Harris giving an eulogy - she should've been the one to call him out for his actions instead of just paying respects . I mean, where was the accountability? It's all very "let's put the past behind us" and pretend everything is okay . Newsflash: it's not okay!
