Because Dick Cheney, as horrible a person he was, was not really a grifter. An opportunistic scumbag, to be sure, but not a grifter. It is incredibly sad that, compared to the crypto-coin grifting current President who has literally been selling pardons to people who back his cryptocurrency, Dick Cheney would actually be somehow *better*

But still. I'm not going to *celebrate* Dick Cheney's death, but neither am I going to say anything great about him either. He got our country involved in an endless war which dragged on for a decade, killed hundreds of thousands of civilians as a result, created a power vacuum in the Middle East, indirectly spurred on the rise of a vile terrorist organization, and got thousands of American soldiers killed. This, by the way, was a war that he *opposed* back in 1991.
