A Republican lawmaker has moved to force a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, setting the stage for a showdown over one of the most divisive figures inside Donald Trump’s administration.
Thomas Massie, of Kentucky, introduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth, accusing him of illegally waging war without congressional authorization and abusing his powers.
A vote in the US House of Representatives could take place as soon as this week.
Surprised they wouldn’t wait until the new house is seated to do this? Glad it came from a Republican at least.
Hopefully this puts him in prison as well.
Lol doubtful. It’s nice to think about though.
Nope. You’re right. They sent it to committee.
House blocked it. All the bribed Dems didn’t care enough.
I would accept tying him up and leaving him on an island in the strait of Hormuz
Turns out. They’re not going to do shit. The dems killed it.
What the hell are you talking about? Of the 211 votes in the house to block the impeachment, 210 were republicans and one was an independent.
I sure hope so. He honestly might have one of the higher chances for facing justice out of any of these Nazis.
Nevermind. Dems sent it to committee. It’s dead before it started.
Isn’t Mike Johnson trying to prematurely recess the House so that he doesn’t have to listen to this very obvious and undeniable thing that will make orangeboi Big Mad at him?
He did that before the midterm until after the midterm. I haven’t seen if he is trying again.
I would be surprised, often the GOP uses the lame duck session to fuck over the next congress, though that is usually in state houses.
Right? There’s clearly a tactical cognitive dissonance occurs right now in GOP circles
Texas is going to be really interesting. I would be very surprised if they don’t strip governor and lt governor power significantly in the next 6 weeks
Yeah, I’m gonna be shocked if they don’t try to pull that. It’s kinda SOP at this point for them.
…again
They’re kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place here. Come the new year the Republicans loose their majority in both houses. The time to get anything done would be now, although they’d be fighting the democrats the entire way.
I think Johnson is too scared to do anything at this point, honestly.
Fuck Peach Hegseth
(I know what I said, but I cannot think of his name any other way).
Ok, but isn’t there one other convicted criminal you forgot…?
