That's standard politician that is.

Something in the world happens that does not involve them, or in any way require a comment from them.

Them: "oh I got to make a non statement about this".

I think that was well crafted.

  • No mention of "good" or any other positive in connection with his work.
  • mentioned dedication to his work, which is the minimum you can say without insults
  • "thoughts" without the "prayers", that is a really nice slapp :D

I'm sure there is more in there that i missed, but this is basically a "good riddance, finally" in terms that can be understood as polite.

I love how weak Americans are that ya’ll think this is some kind of secretly scathing message. Land of the brave but they can’t just fuckin’ say anything outloud out of an intense fear of not being “proper”.

Land of the cowards, more like.

Politicians need to learn to not comment.

Kamala wasn't involved in national politics at the same time as cheney. When cheney was last in office, Kamala was the district attorney of SF, an local office that only deals with the laws of California. No plausible working relationship between the two. They were not even interacting with the same laws. They worked in entirely different levels of government. There is no need for any statement.

Regardless of politics, any statement like this will sound disingenuous. If she knows Lynne, Liz, Mary, and the entire family well enough to have them in her thoughts, she could tell them directly. Calling someone to wish them the best in a hard time is a commendable act. Making a public statement telling other people that you care about someone else is just weird.

He and his daughter put their necks on the line to support her. So I can only expect something like this.

This is what trying to meet in the middle with people who will never, ever vote for you looks like: you just alienate people who would normally vote for you by sounding like a freaking moron space alien.

Liberalism supports the empire and all of its crimes abroad. What did you really expect?
