  1. Kelly was commanding space shuttle flights while Hegseth was strangling prostitutes.

  2. Congress knows nothing because the Republicans have deferred to the White House to self regulate. Let’s see if Kelly brings anything more than vague posturing about illegal orders. This alleged strike occurred in early September so nearly 3 months ago.

  4. Kegsbreath said he never gave the order. Trump said Kegsbreath never gave the order. Karoline Leavitt just said:

    >“President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have made it clear that presidentially designated narco-terrorist groups are subject to lethal targeting in accordance with the laws of war. With respect to the strikes in question on September 2, Secretary Hegseth authorized Adm. Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes,”

    > “Adm. Bradley worked well within his authority and the law to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated,” she continued. “This administration has designated these narco-terrorists as foreign terrorist organizations. The president has the right to take them out if they are threatening the United States of America, if they are bringing illegal narcotics that are killing our citizens at a record rate, which is what they are doing.”

  5. Hope Kelly goes hard. They’ve already set their sights on him, he may as well.

  6. Senator Mark Kelly for President 2028!

    He’s the only one willing to stand up to Trump and the other criminals, fascists, traitors and Russian assets!

    Kelly is also someone who our allies will respect and our adversaries will fear, which is completely the opposite of what we have under Trump!

  7. Kelly talking about how important the law is like we all haven’t watched rich people ignore it completely is out of touch.

  9. “This is the Secretary of Defense. He is not a serious person.”

    That is fucking scary.

  10. Everything Mark Kelly is saying should scare the shit out of American allies (the few genuine ones remaining)

  11. Yeah, I’m a bit jealous Arizonan’s get to vote for Sen. Kelly. Probably the politician that’s closest to my own views.

  15. I dunno if he should be president, that’s not my business. But as a concerned Canadian noticing that our closest neighbour (who has threatened our sovereignty) is potentially committing war crimes, it’s nice to see a US politician with integrity stand up to this nonsense. Powerful statement. Hope the US comes to its senses soon.

  16. Kelly would make a great president, no nonsense and speaks like an adult.

  17. The way he handled those loaded questions was excellent.
