  1. Trump ushering in some form of bipartisanship, I guess

  2. These little boys are playing fucking battleship with peoples lives

  4. In a sane world Kegsworth would be nowhere near power.

    These people make me sick.

  6. Excerpt – “It comes following a report from The Washington Post, which alleged that Hegseth had ordered military personnel to “kill everybody” on board a vessel in the Caribbean, suspected of carrying drugs, on September 2

    A first missile strike left two survivors, but a Special Operations commander overseeing the attack ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions to “kill everybody,” according to the Post, which cited officials with direct knowledge of the operation.

    The two men were then “blown apart in the water,” according to the report.”

  8. The fun thing about being an asshole that nobody likes is that your own party will gladly sacrifice you when given a good opportunity.

  9. Ya know Trump will die without consequences for all the shit he’s done but if America ever gets its shit together these underlings are fucked beyond belief

  10. If anyone of Trumps cabinet is to be taken down. This sack of shit is my number 1 choice

  11. They should start by interviewing Admiral Holsey who recently retired from SOCOM *unexpectedly* after the boat strikes began.

  12. Wake me up when there are actual consequences to his (and other’s) illegal actions.

  13. He’s trying like hell to emulate Himmler, but he’s still just a drunken buffoon. What an idiot.

  14. Its hard to imagine how we recover from this… this is a national embarrassment. What the fuck. The families of these people, regardless of innocence or not, need to step forward.

  15. These are clear cut war crimes. Stop acting like some damn cucks and hold these fuckers accountable!

  16. Oh suddenly Republicans have a problem with “Kill Everybody”?

  17. Can’t wait until this dude gets fired. It’s inevitable

  18. “As we’ve said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be ‘lethal, kinetic strikes,’” he wrote.

    Sounds like a confession to me. Yet we are still supposed to believe that it’s fake news.

  20. “The Independent has contacted the Department of War for comment on news of the Senate investigation.”

    For fuck’s sake, it’s called the Department of Defense. Quit using the abusers’ terminology.

  21. He’d have been perma banned if he were on Reddit because we’re forced to higher standards than our leaders. Go figure.

  24. Hegseth getting sent to Leavenworth would be fucking awesome! Jail everybody!

  26. It’s starting to make sense. They know this was an illegal order that was followed without question, resulting in murder. That is why this admin is so hell bent on asserting that any order they give is a legal one.

  27. Kill survivors? Ok with Pete.

    Signalgate? Pete did nothing wrong.

    Fire all the JAG attorneys? No problem.

    Remind people to ignore illegal orders?

    Treason

  28. Our President pardoned the Blackwater massacre folks. The soldiers know they have nothing to worry about.

  29. If only these same GOP Senators hadn’t confimed him in the first place…

  30. Nothing quite like war crime investigations to unite the nation

  31. Hegseth is absolutely, hands down, the most incompetent Secretary of Defense the USA has ever had. His “Share Everything Signal Chat’ was one thing, but this is is bordering on murder. No wonder the Brits suspended sharing Caribbean intel with this clown.

  32. One thing that sticks with me, Kamala Harris said (of Trump Campaign) these are not serious people. I think about this almost daily. A weekend Fox News host now has the power to order random people in boats be assassinated, is literally insanity.

  34. RIP bozo, bring is ass before a public hearing and let him perjure himself. Somehow I can see Hegseth skating any responsibility for this, and those who carried out the orders being the ones to pay the price.
