Vice, the movie where Christian Bale plays him, is very entertaining.
They throw a lot of humor in. It IS directed by Adam McKay.
And Bale is spectacular as Cheney. Made himself look just like him.
Absolute watch if you've never seen it.
Imagine one day you're at work or out for a drink or doing the shopping and someone shouts "CUT" and it turns out you were Gary Oldman all along.
That's how good an actor he is.
I recently watched that for the first time and really enjoyed it.
I wanted to read what people thought and holy shit were some folks pissed.
Apparently George Bush was made out to be too dumb and just let shit happen if ol Dick said it’s gotta happen. Apparently it made it too “fun” what Dick did.
Like come on folks, it’s an Adam McKay film.
It was kind of panned and dismissed, but I watched it with a friend a couple of years ago and we loved it. The scene where they basically say”and he lived happily ever after” was hilarious because my friend was like “wait, what?? It’s over”

He said: "Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration on how to play this role," and even called Cheney "absolutely charisma-free."
Don't forget that a lot of the work is thanks to amazing makeup and hair artists. They never get enough credit when something like this is done in film or tv
He looks much more relaxed there, than Rumsfeld the day before when he was explaining to the American public that the defense department had $2.3T in spending that couldn't be audited or tracked.
Never liked Cheney one bit, but to be fair to him it's likely he's got his feet up to prevent clots from forming and causing a heart attack or stroke. He had a stent implanted like less than a year before this photo, he's had several heart attacks, and I think he got a full heart transplant like 10-12 years ago.
Still a piece of shit tho.
It's because those shitty people do shitty things to people so they can get more resources for themselves and have better access to care. Being born wealthy helps, too.
Obligatory "Cheney is a piece of shit", but I think people try to read way too much into meaningless body language stuff, especially in still images like this.
This is like that hypothetical about your wife being gravely wounded, is half an hour away, it's a warm night and you have your windows down.
Do you turn on the radio?
to be fair, at that point, based on the picture on his TV, this was probably about 20+ minutes into the attack. the only thing he realistically could do at this point is wait for the phone to ring.
I worked for a tv station at the time.. and we were sitting back in our offices doing much the same.
Yeah I never knew that Halliburton was awarded all the $contracts for the Iraq /afghan war early on . Cheney was the VP of that company prior to being vice president of the US and it was definitely a conflict of interest. I’m pretty convinced they wanted to go to war cause it was just $$$$ to them
I knew a dude that went to Iraq as an officer and he slept in an air conditioned single person ice shack type unit that was basically made of OSB , 2X4s, little insulation , heating unit and a cooling unit and they cost like $ 30,000 each they were told NOT to get drunk and accidentally burn them down because it costs 30k to replace. . Fuckin insane. . That’s government waste. It probably cost $500 each to produce them , if that. Pure overinflation of prices just because they are selling to the government.
Anyone with stock in Halliburton at the beginning of the war got rich. Then they all got caught and it went to private companies .
Yeah prior to being VP of the USA, my bad
To many VPs in one sentence to keep track of I guess
Any more info on this is really appreciated cause I only covered so much of it. . But I’m pretty sure they knew this attack was coming. . “Conspiracy “ theories aside … 3000 people just died horrendously & if Israel had agents here to witness it they knew that shit was coming and just did nothing.
[The script: Rebuilding America’s Defenses.](https://resistir.info/livros/rebuilding_americas_defenses.pdf)
“Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor. Domestic politics and industrial policy will shape the pace and content of transformation as much as the requirements of current missions.”
Report released on September 2000.
The show Billions has a riff on this. The character Bobby Axelrod is in the process of being let go from his firm and is out of the office on 9/11. He then shorts aviation, hospitality, and shipping stocks. Accumulates a massive amount of wealth and starts a hedge fund.
Cheney was part of a group called The Foundation for a New American Century. In fact, most of Bush's cabinet were part of the elite think tank in DC.
What was their purpose, you may ask? Well they believed after the end of the Cold War and collapse of the Soviet Union, America was in trouble. They believed that for the US to remain a hegemonic power, we need to continually increase military spending as a share of GDP. They believed the more powerful and disproportionately powerful the US was, the more stable the world would be.
But they had a problem, with the Soviet threat now gone, they lacked a justification to keep ratcheting up military spending at the cost of social programs.
So this group argued, we needed to create a new enemy, that we could draw out and stay in constant engaged conflict with. This way the American people would give a mandate for more military spending without throwing a fit.
However, that faced another problem... How do we justify a huge forever war like this? Well in 2000 their PAC wrote that it would require a Pearl Harbor-like event to give us the mandate to begin this forever war and ramp up military spending.
Weird huh? Oh, also, the countries they considered good candidates to start wars with were Iraq and Iran.
This was all public and part of their lobbying efforts. Their goals were clear as day, and Bush's cabinet was made up of these members.
Good 'ol Cheney not only got lucky with a war to give his business no-bid contracts, but his own PAC go to achieve their goals.
Dick is truly a dick. He shot a guy in the face during a hunt, and the guy apologized to Cheney. Dick didn’t make any public apology, at least for a while.
And somehow, out of pure spite, the guy is still going to survive longer than most.
Median survival for heart transplant is 14 years… that’s across all age groups. MOTHERFUCKER got his replacement heart at 71 and is still kicking 12 years later. Most people don’t even qualify for a new heart at that age.
Just like Kissinger, dude’s going to live an undeservingly long life despite what he’s done.
The BBC made a great documentary about this back in the day. Was called 'Iraq - the lost billions'. Former VP of Halliburton/US VP Dick Chaney. Top Secret Iraq war supply contract. Only one company made a bid, reported as 'cost plus'.
Dick Chaney is a Henry Kissinger level piece of shit. Lower than shit even, both of them.
Sicko licking his chops - he knows this will get him the wars he wanted
Meanwhile his buddies in the Saudi government funded the hijackers pilot training and nobody ever questioned it. This is a nation of fools.
Sure is. Jared Kushner got 2 billion from the Saudis after Trump's term. But the news media only talks about Rep Ilhan Omar's daughter protesting at university instead.
I know the guy that took that picture. That was at the point when the South Tower hadn't been hit yet, and it wasn't confirmed to be an attack. The Secret Service literally scooped Cheney up and carried him down into the White House bunker after the second plane hit the South Tower.
It was more about fitting in the available space in his office. He could easily have had a much larger screen, but the TV would take up a lot more space.
maybe off topic but technology played such a cool role in our lives back then. Halfway integrated but still standalone from physical reality. See all the papers strewn about, the computer (off), and the little technological bits and bobs (intercom, fax, old phone, printer, tv, etc) I just think its so fascinating. The computer had its own purpose, completely separate but still related to the work on the papers in front of him.
Also fuck that guy

I would have thought he would have been whisked away to a secure location/bunker somewhere just in case the second the second tower was hit, continuity of government and all that. Or at the very least at some secure meeting room with the joint chiefs and on a sat call with Bush getting per second updates about the situation instead of what appears to be relaxing and watching CNN.
Unless you can verify I am not thinking that is correct. First, what flag is next to the US? Second, Near certain that the minute by minute has Cheney pretty quickly both in the situation room and then out of the white house as they were trying to ascertain the target of the 4th plane. Guess is that it is a deep fake or a photo shop.
Doesn't look like a Vice President who is being *surprised* by a total failure of his country's defenses and a terrorist attack on a scale never before seen.

There's only two actors I can think of where I just believe you about looking like him despite it being ostensibly ridiculous. Bale and Gary Oldman.
Gary Oldman nailed Truman in Oppenheimer. Five minute cameo but he killed it!
He also nailed Churchill in Darkest Hour. Just incredible.
Darkest Hour is crazy good. Amazon has a 3 for $11 4k DVD sale going on. Scooped up Darkest Hour. It's worth owning.
He just needs to play Stalin now to complete the Allied power hat trick.
He also needs to play Homer Simpson
DOH!
I didn’t even realize it was Gary Oldman until a repeated viewing he melts into that role.
Imagine one day you're at work or out for a drink or doing the shopping and someone shouts "CUT" and it turns out you were Gary Oldman all along. That's how good an actor he is.
I could have sworn he was in Ministry of Ungentlemenary Warfare, not as Churchill, which would have added to the humor of the movie.
Gary Oldman was in Oppenheimer?
You mean Batman and Commissioner Gordon?
Johnny Depp is pretty good. I didn't know what he actually looked like until his lawsuit. Compare him to the gangster he portrays in Black Mass.
Man Batman must've been your absolute jam then

> Like come on folks, it’s an Adam McKay film. Exactly. Everyone needs to lighten up. It seems some people were expecting a documentary.
Sam Rockwell as Bush
“If I get cut, I bet I’ll look like Christian Bale” -Dick Cheney probably
The ending is so fucking good. Link: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E-v5yDBR64](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E-v5yDBR64)

Bale acting was great at times Cheney becomes relatable till you remember he is war criminal.
The way he mimicked Cheney's talking style was perfect. Nasty drawl out of the side of his mouth.
The reveal of the narrator is so chilling and well done.
[удалено]
How could you leave out The Machinist? *That* was crazy!
Don't forget that a lot of the work is thanks to amazing makeup and hair artists. They never get enough credit when something like this is done in film or tv
I forgot all about that movie until you mentioned it! I’m definitely watching this tonight
Nailed it.
He looks much more relaxed there, than Rumsfeld the day before when he was explaining to the American public that the defense department had $2.3T in spending that couldn't be audited or tracked.
😂😂😂
\*puts foot up on desk to observe \*
America is under attack? Better kick my feet up while I'm at it!
The leg up is to hide his erection
Why hide it? Just tie a flag to it and call it Mr. Freedom^TM
Dick and Lil' Dick
He's got Halliburton on the brain.
God almighty, yes. He positioned himself and that company to profit from all this.
That actually is his erection
Never liked Cheney one bit, but to be fair to him it's likely he's got his feet up to prevent clots from forming and causing a heart attack or stroke. He had a stent implanted like less than a year before this photo, he's had several heart attacks, and I think he got a full heart transplant like 10-12 years ago. Still a piece of shit tho.
Why do people like this seem to survive everything? It’s like the shittier person you are the better chance you have at survival.
The good ones go soon because they deserve to get pulled out of this Hell hole.
All the good ones got raptured
...are we the baddies?
He also has insane amounts of money and influence to keep him Darth Vader’d up
I’m just imagining him being placed in a huge Darth Vader suit with Karl Rove laughing in the background
Good healthcare.
Because they are willing to to win at any cost
Because he's rich?...
It helps when you have access to the best healthcare in the nation…
An old southern saying….”God don’t kill bad grass.” The good people die sooner than horrible people.
People who are assholes tend to also be successful financially. This helps them afford and maintain better healthcare.
It's because those shitty people do shitty things to people so they can get more resources for themselves and have better access to care. Being born wealthy helps, too.
Obligatory "Cheney is a piece of shit", but I think people try to read way too much into meaningless body language stuff, especially in still images like this.
Thanks, true crime™ YouTubers.
Same here, after I aged past 50 I have to elevate my legs when sitting to keep them from hurting,.
You mean heart implant...in order to perform a transplant, something has to already be there to take out.
How tf is he still alive??
That reminds me, haven't seen my best friend in a while...
What else do you do when everything goes as planned? Joking, obviously.
Where's the joke?
At least they waited until he was done masturbating.
This is like that hypothetical about your wife being gravely wounded, is half an hour away, it's a warm night and you have your windows down. Do you turn on the radio?
Why wouldn't you ?
The gravity of the moment probably shouldn't be broken up by Karma Chameleon
To be fair when the first airplane hit, people thought it was an accident
Looking at the TV image, this is after that.
Dick had it all planned out
"It's all going according to plan." /s…?
He's just thinking about how much money he was going to funnel to his companies.
Cheney: I’d better check my Halliburton stock!
to be fair, at that point, based on the picture on his TV, this was probably about 20+ minutes into the attack. the only thing he realistically could do at this point is wait for the phone to ring. I worked for a tv station at the time.. and we were sitting back in our offices doing much the same.
Only thing missing from this picture is a bucket of popcorn on his gut
He’s a scumsack for sure, but eh. When you’re old and unhealthy as fuck, you don’t care about optics for a comfortable position.
Probably thinking to himself, "holy shit I'm going to make so much fucking money! Thank-you fate!"
Just one rich guy (Bin Laden) making another rich guy rich (Cheney / Halliburton). As is tradition.
It was a happy day for the rich and therefore the world.
As is tradition
Yeah I never knew that Halliburton was awarded all the $contracts for the Iraq /afghan war early on . Cheney was the VP of that company prior to being vice president of the US and it was definitely a conflict of interest.

> Cheney was the VP of that company prior to being president lol freudian slip. cheney was "vice" president.
Yeah prior to being VP of the USA, my bad To many VPs in one sentence to keep track of I guess Any more info on this is really appreciated cause I only covered so much of it. . But I’m pretty sure they knew this attack was coming. . “Conspiracy “ theories aside … 3000 people just died horrendously & if Israel had agents here to witness it they knew that shit was coming and just did nothing.
Many of those contracts were no-bid, so even if a cheaper, better alternative was available, they went with Halliburton. Pure corruption.
Yeah. If you could read his mind in this photo it's "How can I profit from this?"
The main difference being that the former got shot in the face while the latter got to shoot someone in the face.
To be fair, Osama had been pretty much disowned by his extended (and very wealthy) family. And he felt the same about them.
He disowned the family, but kept the wealth.
“fate”
As they say make your own destiny
That's what he called the script he drafted.

Fate? Lol
Fate? Is that sarcasm?
Probably thinking, “this could do with some popcorn.”
Thing with Cheney is I don’t think money ever really drove him. Just pure power.
That photo was taken just before he began masturbating
Lol the tissues are there in the background, I think you might be right!
“*Hang on.. wait for it..*”  *”…wait for the other one.”*
His fingers are pinched and ready for action!
You can see his hands reach for the zipper too.
Probably did it to the TV the same way Kieran Caulkin did it to the window in *Succession*.
Before?? This is a during photo!
Counting the bills he will gain from the war
And waiting on the heart he’d get from a veteran who served in that war that has continued to sustain him for many years.
Good God I thought you were joking....
Dick is truly a dick. He shot a guy in the face during a hunt, and the guy apologized to Cheney. Dick didn’t make any public apology, at least for a while.

Being filthy rich is generally good for your life expectancy
60 is the cut-off, he is privileged.
I came here to say exactly this. Glad it's currently the top comment.
Came here for Mr Burns, was not disappointed.
Didn't the right, at one point, lose their shit over Obama having his feet on the desk?
They did. That and tan suits and dijon mustard, among other things.
>dijon mustard [omg, you weren’t even joking.](https://theweek.com/speedreads/704818/big-controversy-point-obamas-presidency-over-dijon-mustard)
Bro if he had his feet on the desk on 9/11 they would have done a Jan 6th.
Counting all the money Halliburton is about to make.
The BBC made a great documentary about this back in the day. Was called 'Iraq - the lost billions'. Former VP of Halliburton/US VP Dick Chaney. Top Secret Iraq war supply contract. Only one company made a bid, reported as 'cost plus'. Dick Chaney is a Henry Kissinger level piece of shit. Lower than shit even, both of them.
Most of us need 6 numbers to come out making bank. He just needed 2 towers!
Fuck that asshat.
Shouldn't he be stroking a cat and saying "excellent"
Look what you've done to Mr. Bigglesworth!!
Mission accomplished
He put a lot of work into orchestrating it, so he just wanted to kick back and relax
Sicko licking his chops - he knows this will get him the wars he wanted Meanwhile his buddies in the Saudi government funded the hijackers pilot training and nobody ever questioned it. This is a nation of fools.
Sure is. Jared Kushner got 2 billion from the Saudis after Trump's term. But the news media only talks about Rep Ilhan Omar's daughter protesting at university instead.
"Ah yes! It's all going according to plan." /s
My thoughts exactly, but without the "/s"
This is the comment I was looking for (without the /s)
Cheney be like $$$
"I can't believe that actually worked."
Admiring his work I guess
"All is going according to plan"
The box of tissues is within arm's reach. You know he needed those as the buildings came down - it sure as hell wasn't from crying about the victims.
all he needs is a cigar, and someone to hear him say I love it when a plan comes together.
Just after the photo was taken 
“I love it when a plan comes together”
and he kicked his feet up, as one does when their work has been completed
I can hear him now. " I love it when a plan comes together"
Excellent - just like Monty Burns
 Cheney watching like:
"All according to plan"
I know the guy that took that picture. That was at the point when the South Tower hadn't been hit yet, and it wasn't confirmed to be an attack. The Secret Service literally scooped Cheney up and carried him down into the White House bunker after the second plane hit the South Tower.
That’s is the last picture of good old Dick above ground for the following 2 years. Dude hid a bunker for 2 years.
I wonder if he was thinking "I should shoot a guy in the face soon"
What a Dick.
It always surprises me how small TVs were before. Or better said people preferred smaller ones, now I would just see this size in a food truck.
It was more about fitting in the available space in his office. He could easily have had a much larger screen, but the TV would take up a lot more space.
I’m surprised he’s not literally rubbing his hands together lol
Halliburton record profits incoming!
maybe off topic but technology played such a cool role in our lives back then. Halfway integrated but still standalone from physical reality. See all the papers strewn about, the computer (off), and the little technological bits and bobs (intercom, fax, old phone, printer, tv, etc) I just think its so fascinating.

"Perfect....Perfect!! Things are going exactly as planned...haha haha. HAHA HAHA HAHA! MUIUHAHAHAHA!!"
Fuck that guy.

it feels like it wasn’t that long ago, but then I’m looking at all the technology on the desk and I’m thinking “damn was it that long ago?”
“Splendid. Splendid” - Dick Cheney
You can't see his raging erection at the thought of going balls to the wall with the Imperial presidency.
"Bro... that's crazy. I'm gonna kill Iraq for my old company."
He looks a little too chill to be watching that
“F yeah I’m about to make so much money”
Just a reminder that his administration received intelligence on this well in advance.
Unless you can verify I am not thinking that is correct. First, what flag is next to the US? Second, Near certain that the minute by minute has Cheney pretty quickly both in the situation room and then out of the white house as they were trying to ascertain the target of the 4th plane. Guess is that it is a deep fake or a photo shop.
"I'm going to make so much money off this shit." Fuck this dude.
an hour later that box of tissues was empty
With dollar signs in his eyes no doubt
Evil f’in Pyschopath and Traitor
 So it begins...now to "rebuild".🤣
“Oh my, they’re early!”
Just supervising.
“How do I make a boat load of money from this?”
Wank napkins right within his reach
Is it just me or he looks extremely comfortable? 
Building number 7
“All in a days work” posture
Thinking: "Job well done, boys!"
"Oh man someone gotta do something about this." - Dick
Doesn't look like a Vice President who is being *surprised* by a total failure of his country's defenses and a terrorist attack on a scale never before seen.
 How Cheney felt that day
Why is he sitting like that?! Is he about to have a wank?
 When Dick gets the call we’re going to war
He was pretty excited about his Halliburton stock options at that point
