House Democrats Move to Impeach Defense Secretary Hegseth

Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday introduced a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, accusing him of abuse of power and war crimes, among other allegations.

The six articles of impeachment, which have almost no chance of passing due to Republicans’ slim majority in the House, were first reported by Axios.

The resolution is led by Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, the first Iranian-American Democrat elected to Congress. The eight Democratic co-sponsors of the bill include Reps. Steve Cohen of Tennessee, Jasmine Crockett of Texas, Nikema Williams of Georgia, Dina Titus of Nevada, David Min of California, Shri Thanedar of Michigan, Brittany Pettersen of Colorado, and Sarah McBride of Delaware.

The second article alleges Hegseth further violated his oath and constitutional duties by engaging in “violations of the law of armed conflict and targeting of civilians.” It points to the destruction of civilian infrastructure in Iran, including a school for girls in Minab, and what it describes as the “illegal ‘double tap’” strikes on boats in the Caribbean that were allegedly transporting drugs to the U.S., as well as Hegseth’s comment last month that the U.S. would have “no quarter, no mercy for our enemies.”

He won't be convicted or removed through the impeachment process, we all know that.

The point is that it's the Democrats' duty to impeach him and that's what they're gonna do.

This will anger the rapist in the White House and he might just think that Pisshead Pete is more trouble than he's worth.

He might be next to get fired, after Crazy Eyes Patel.

He's an alcoholic sociopath.

A dangerous combination.

He murdered 150 little school girls, and didn't blink an eye.

His day is coming though.

Ah.

Let's just call it manslaughter then, shall we?

He still slaughtered all the little girls, but it was due to incompetence - it wasn't intentional.

It's a sad reality faced by people in the Middle east -

the Western powers - including Israel are not prepared to send
in troops on the ground as they know they'll be slaughtered in large numbers -
that is urban warfare so -

what do they do instead?

Answer -

they destroy buildings -
they can do that easily from the safety of an aircraft - with minimal losses of their own -
hence:  Gaza, Beirut, Tehran -
mile after mile of buildings leveled to the ground -
many/most used to be homes where innocent people lived.

They can't fight a proper war - they destroy buildings - they are cowards.

Can you tell us what a proper war is Bobby, do Iran give anyone the option of fighting a proper war.

In a proper war you invade on the ground and you round up or kill the bad guys.

Those days are long past -
now they just bomb buildings -
and most of the military buildings are empty by the time any war starts.

So which wars did they invade on the ground rounding up the baddies.

Just to be clear we are talking about real wars and not some game on playstation.
