Donald Trump may have made the decision to launch the war that tanked voters’ support for the GOP and dealt them a midterm shellacking. But the historic losses are accelerating a push for someone else to take the fall: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
And the House could vote as soon as next week to impeach the Pentagon’s top leader.
Many Republican lawmakers and allies alarmed by Tuesday’s wipeout are moving swiftly to pin blame for the election results on Hegseth, arguing behind the scenes that he played a chief role in convincing Trump to attack Iran with no exit strategy — and no plan for managing the inevitable political fallout.
The knives-out campaign comes despite private acknowledgement from House and Senate GOP strategists that the party’s problems extended far beyond the war, triggering 2008-level losses that will take years to reverse. But for now, party leaders – and many in their ranks – remain unwilling to directly blame Trump for their woes.
I worry there’s an effort to blame the midterm bloodbath solely on the war. The GOP still has two months to push their agenda.
And Jeffries wants to blame it entirely on affordability. He’s not right either: we need to resist any incumbents trying to pigeonhole it into any single issue.
It is the war. It is affordability. It is corruption. It is violation of human rights. It is the administration acting above the law. It is capricious cancellation of services which saved lives. And it certainly is the appointment of incompetent sycophants to positions that used to be meritorious
Can we also toss the worm brain guy?
The drunk racist fuck-up has a boss who needs to be in the same courthouse and eventual prison. The internal Government of Putin attacks will reveal more information about their corruption and BS.
The in fighting and finger pointing will be wilder than a Mexican soap opera.
¡Dios mio! Tengo amnesia.
This would be perfect. I hope the GOP impeaches Hegseth, and then the democrats impeach Trump when they take office in January.
Let the heads roll.
Air drop him into Iran
They still don’t understand who’s really to blame?
They do, but they’ve built their entire party around worshipping him for the past 10 years. They’re stuck with him and have no one to blame but themselves.
You’re not meant to.
But it couldn’t be dear leader. Couldn’t be our bombastic buffoon in chief. Couldn’t be mango Mussolini. Oh no, it must have been someone else
And since the Supreme Court decided the President is above the law, we’re stuck with passing the buck to the incompetent sycophants who carried it out
How many scapegoats y’all think absolution is gonna take?
We will accept nothing less than a full Nuremberg 2.0.
All that got us last time was Nazis 2.0
He should be tried for the war crimes he committed, not just impeached. Can a SecDef be submitted to a military Court Martial?
“The party of self serving backstabbing surely won’t back stab me when it serves them”
Knowing democrats. This will be their one. Get it. Celebrate all over the internet. And then just stop going after traitors and pedophiles.
The problem with trying to get votes by accusing your competition of being outright criminals is that when you get into power, you need to follow up on that claim. Then it turns out that you were just lying and no investigation actually turns up anything.
And now the people who took those claims seriously expect lots of people go to jail and nobody does, and they think that the system is rigged. But it was just mundane lying.
(I don’t know if GOP are actual criminals actually, just extrapolating from how these have gone in the past)
thats the thing about Fascists, they will canabilize one another in order to save their own asses. Send him to the Hague.
Dejavu, it’s like the Iraq war all over again where suddenly there’s not a republican to be found that was in favor of it once their grip on power slips
Matching the hat to the JPEG compression is really what sells this one.
Really well done, saturation might be a little high on the color grading with the rest of the film though. Probably needs the highlights brought down.
And nobody will be held accountable
I wanna see them all cananalize themselves
cananalize [emphasis added]
eat each other (nonsexually) starting from the butthole?
Hell yeah! I’d say “eat the rich,” but I’m sure they all taste like utter shit, especially the illegal immigrant people want to become the first trillionaire. If fElon succeeds, it’ll be like opening Pandora’s box and we may never be able to close it without losing millions of good people. So, let them “cananalize” each other…that way we don’t have to taste their tainted flesh.
The second Trump croaks, they’ll go rabid
This, I’m really looking forward to this. They don’t to blame Trump (yet) so they’re going to try to take each other down
Let’s reach across the aisle to help that motherfucker get into prison.
