Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Thanks so much for giving Senator Kelly a platform, haters! He's making gorgeous use of it and looking pretty fearless too.

Hello everyone! I hope you all heard about it and went out to see the aurora borealis on the first night, when parts of the Wisconsin Star River were frozen. The photos were taken on November 11, 2024. #Aurora

Imagine what it does to morale in the military to see the defense secretary hang an admiral out to dry to avoid responsibility for war crimes.

Normally the creators of beloved children’s cartoon characters would not need to disavow the U.S. Secretary of Defense, but ours is a drunken miscreant, a loutish boor with the dignity and nobility of a counterfeit butt-plug

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

it sure seems like what happened is that the admin told hegseth and maybe rubio they could do whatever they wanted with the military, but do not intend to offer any cover, which is why, if you are enlisted, you need to pay close attention to whether your orders coming from command are actually legal
everyone is correctly noting that they’re throwing bradley under the bus, but they’re also throwing hegseth under it
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?
LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

one problem this poses for the admin is that hegseth is maybe the single least likely member of the cabinet to be willing to fall on his sword and go quietly, but this is why you don’t hire tv guys for important jobs
