Donald Trump may have made the decision to launch the war that tanked voters’ support for the GOP and dealt them a midterm shellacking. But the historic losses are accelerating a push for someone else to take the fall: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
And the House could vote as soon as next week to impeach the Pentagon’s top leader.
Many Republican lawmakers and allies alarmed by Tuesday’s wipeout are moving swiftly to pin blame for the election results on Hegseth, arguing behind the scenes that he played a chief role in convincing Trump to attack Iran with no exit strategy — and no plan for managing the inevitable political fallout.
The knives-out campaign comes despite private acknowledgement from House and Senate GOP strategists that the party’s problems extended far beyond the war, triggering 2008-level losses that will take years to reverse. But for now, party leaders – and many in their ranks – remain unwilling to directly blame Trump for their woes.
He should be tried for the war crimes he committed, not just impeached. Can a SecDef be submitted to a military Court Martial?
Knowing democrats. This will be their one. Get it. Celebrate all over the internet. And then just stop going after traitors and pedophiles.
thats the thing about Fascists, they will canabilize one another in order to save their own asses. Send him to the Hague.
I wanna see them all cananalize themselves
The second Trump croaks, they’ll go rabid
This, I’m really looking forward to this. They don’t to blame Trump (yet) so they’re going to try to take each other down
Let’s reach across the aisle to help that motherfucker get into prison.
Maybe he should go hi-T and stop being trump’s bitch.
Just hand him over to the ICC and call it a day.
I love this idea specifically because the US would then be acknowledging and ratifying their relationship with the ICC.
Dejavu, it’s like the Iraq war all over again where suddenly there’s not a republican to be found that was in favor of it once their grip on power slips
Matching the hat to the JPEG compression is really what sells this one.
Really well done, saturation might be a little high on the color grading with the rest of the film though. Probably needs the highlights brought down.
And nobody will be held accountable
“I think he probably knows he’s dead but would like an exit sufficiently dramatic that it gives him a launching pad to run for POTUS,” one administration official said.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahaaa… oh… man… I needed that.
Donvict Drumpf was elected PresiDunce. Twice.
Before that Bush jr was thought of as a dumb dumb, but he got elected. Twice.Think about that before you write off the stupidity of kegsbreath trying it.
Bush Jr stole his first election and then 9/11 made people lose their minds enough to actually want him back. It’s not quite the same as the Trump bullshit, which I’m convinced was still largely a racist backlash to Obama mixed with the Democrats running terrible candidates both times Trump won.
Hopefully this election will show that progressive candidates drive turnout, but I’m not keeping my hopes up that the oligarchs won’t find a way around that.
No beardos, no weirdos, no job you fake tough guy alcoholic womanizer. Another trump / Fox news fucking disaster for the world. Main accomplishments including killing a bunch of school age girls and fucking up the global economy.
We can’t prosecute him domestically. Best thing to do is arrest him and fly him to The Hague
Nice, now lets sit back and watch MAGA eat itself for the next couple years
No, never just sit back. Offer them forks and knives. Provide appetizers. Invite them over to dinner and then lock them in the cellar with only each other and a collection of machetes and spices.
lock them in the cellar, you say?
The other way around, gotta sic the lions on them or they’ll sort themselves out and come back with a vengeance. The Bush comparison is on point, and remember that Trump came 10 years after Bush. “Let them have at it” is the exact opposite of a good idea.
Who would’ve thought that the first people to eat the rich would be other rich people?
Anyone with a passing familiarity with the rich and how they act
…remain unwilling to directly blame Trump for their losses:
It’s not enshittification leaving my body I have a problem with. That’s natural. It’s the entering aspect that troubles me.
“Burning the Witch” to protect the rest of their evil regime
