Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) announced Wednesday he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Why it matters: The long-shot effort centers on two scandals currently rocking the Pentagon — a new report about Signalgate and allegations of a follow-up strike against an alleged Venezuelan drug boat.
It would be better if it’s “Democrat announces articles of impeachment against Trump” instead to cut all this shit off at the root.
Right because that totally worked the last time, and the time before that
Third time lucky!
Lol none of those fuckers care about impeachment. Until there are real consequences they will continue to not give a shit.
Well good, get it on the books for future historians if nothing else.
Yup. Nothing will come of it, but it’s important to do it anyway.
Didnt he also already put in articles of impeachment on Trump? Theyve been sitting there since March or something
Rumors have been going around that Hegseth was gonna get fired early next year anyway.
Apparently Trump promised not to fire any cabinet members for a year bc he had such turmoil amongst the turnover during his first term.
Sorry for the CNN article. I actually read a story about this back in Sept but I can’t remember where and CNN was the first I could find referencing the same idea.
At the time I read about, it was over Signalgate and the embarrassing Trump at the Fat Generals Speech.

Ok do Trump next
Third time’s the charm?
Good.
Fuck Hakeem Jefferies. Pussy wanted to protect Hegseth because he’s more concerned about alienating the entirely fictional demographic of GOP voters who might flip Dem if the Dems become more semi-fascist
Yeah, that was… something. Felt a smidgen of my soul leave my body at that point. Hegseth ordered people killed in cold blood and all you got was “won’t matter anyways?” What is wrong with you, Jefferies?
Impeachment has lost all meaning. Trump has been impeached multiple times but remains in office. Trump loyalists in congress prevented him from seeing any consequences for those impeachments and block new impeachments. Unless something changes, the only way Hegseth is leaving is if Trump decides to remove him.
If he’s fine with innocent children being murdered in cold blood by Israel why would he draw the line at innocent fishermen?
More and more it looks like controlled opposition. It sounded like a conspiracy theory, but I’m now truly starting to be convinced that Schummer and Jeffries were bought.
If you’ll allow me to put on my tin foil hat for a second,
I genuinely wonder if Israel is privately instructing them to not actually oppose Trump whatsoever.
They’re both EXTREMELY bought and paid for by AIPAC. And we know Israel LOVES Trump and Pete Kegs-breath because they both are the biggest supporters of Israel’s war crimes that’ve ever been in their respective positions.
Both parties are bought. Citizens United legalized all bribery.
Its just beyond the pale at this point.
And Schumer has out right said it. His service isn’t to the American people but to Israel.
Always has been. Both parties are bought, largely by the same donors. That doesn’t mean both parties are the same, but they still both serve the corporations and billionaires that pay them.
And only 40 years too late.
They’re not moving rightward to appease the voters, they’re doing it to appease the corporate donors.
That too for sure.
Not to mention to appease specifically Israel which vastly prefers a dominant GOP
Every politician has a unique means of staying in power, favours, friends, appeal, funding, handlers, Jeffrey’s may simply not be able to stay in power if he doesn’t do this. These people don’t adhere to idealistic ideology or fancy ideas, they trade in power and persuasion.
Well we should destroy the system that enables this and remove these people from any position of power indefinitely. I personally also think they should be put in fucking prison.
What is the replacement system you envision?
There are literally thousands of books written about different systems than this one, many of which I would consider better.
I have no clue which ones you’re imagining. What are some examples, and how would we put it in place?
The first step is ranked choice voting for everything from local to federal elections.
First past the post is literally the worst way to operate a voting system of your goal is to get an accurate representation of the populace.
I’m very much in favor of the reforms of ranked choice and proportional representation (fairvote.org).
But these aren’t really a replacement after we destroy the current system. More like incremental fixes for the current system.
I’d still like to understand more about the vision of destroying (what’s the plan?) the system and what would come next (what’s part two of the plan?).
well he doesn’t seem to have either power or persuasion.
Yeah but neither do you (at least the power bit), which means he succeeded at his job.
Good to see resistance. Even if it doesn’t gather support now it’s always good to take the first steps. Move Kegsbreath’s impeachment into view in a corner of whatever the Overton window has become in the age of disinformation.
How DARE he!
-OTHER Democrats for some Reason!
Impeach remove convict and then president piggy pardons him.
pretty sure pardons only cover judicial convictions, not legislative ones, but i don’t know if it’s ever been tested
