For those that have flagpoles and wish to follow protocol, the flag should be half staffed for 10 days after the death of a VP.

I think Cheney’s greatest national influence will be in fracking and oil and gas production.

Recall the secret energy task force he convened early in the GWB administration.  He was excoriated for that by the media and Democrats.

Here is what Google, AI says about task force. 

“Dick Cheney's connection to fracking is through the

"Halliburton Loophole," a provision in the 2005 Energy Policy Act that exempted hydraulic fracturing from federal regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act. This exemption is attributed to Cheney's efforts through the Bush administration's Energy Task Force, given his prior role as CEO of Halliburton, the company that developed the fracking process. The loophole allows the fracking industry to use chemicals in fluid mixtures without disclosure and without being regulated, raising concerns about potential contamination of drinking water supplies.“

Cheney saw the promise of new fracking and directional drilling technologies.  The Halliburton loophole is not as evil as it sounds.  Fracking happens thousands of feet below the surface.  Drinking water is hundreds of feet.  The two are not related.

Of course they are. They are related through faulty wells, seepage through rock formations, inadequate storage of wastewater, and regular old accidental spills. It's not like there is some invisible forcefield that protects the aquifers where we get our drinking water from contamination.

Yeah, but, Republicans.

So you agree with me.  None of your list of horribles is related to fracking, but are risks of any method of oil and gas production, refining, distribution, and consumption.

No, I don't agree with you. You said they are not related. They are. If you want to change your statement to "Fracking might include problems that are not necessary unique only to fracking," then I will agree. But you didn't say that. You said they were unrelated.

I think his greatest national influence will be the trillions of dollars thrown into a sunk hole in a discretionary and pointless war based on exaggerated and ultimately false intelligence. That influence includes exploding the national debt and eroding trust between our own populace and our government and other nations and the U.S.

We’ve already forgotten McNamara and all the damage he did.  Cheney will be similarly forgotten.  O&G production will always endure.

I don't think we've forgotten McNamara. People will not forget Cheney's connection to the Iraq War.  It's an integral part of the narrative (true or false).

Lefty media has been kind today. Giving him a pass since he became a Never Trumper. That's how pathetic this country has become.
