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.
Can we also toss the worm brain guy?
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
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.
Jeffries and Schumer will play along with whatever their GOP besties want to do. Their common goal is just to wipe the slate clean and get the GOP back into leadership.
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
Nice, now lets sit back and watch MAGA eat itself for the next couple years
No, never just sit back. Offer them forks and knives. Provide appetizers. Invite them over to dinner and then lock them in the cellar with only each other and a collection of machetes and spices.
lock them in the cellar, you say?
The other way around, gotta sic the lions on them or they’ll sort themselves out and come back with a vengeance. The Bush comparison is on point, and remember that Trump came 10 years after Bush. “Let them have at it” is the exact opposite of a good idea.
Who would’ve thought that the first people to eat the rich would be other rich people?
Anyone with a passing familiarity with the rich and how they act
“I think he probably knows he’s dead but would like an exit sufficiently dramatic that it gives him a launching pad to run for POTUS,” one administration official said.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahaaa… oh… man… I needed that.
We laughed about Trump too. Conservatives demand a violent, evil leader. They lust for cruelty. They require it. If Pete promises to torture and kill as many as possible, he really will win the conservative vote. That really is what all conservatives are at their core. Pure evil.
Donvict Drumpf was elected PresiDunce. Twice.
Before that Bush jr was thought of as a dumb dumb, but he got elected. Twice.Think about that before you write off the stupidity of kegsbreath trying it.
Bush Jr stole his first election and then 9/11 made people lose their minds enough to actually want him back. It’s not quite the same as the Trump bullshit, which I’m convinced was still largely a racist backlash to Obama mixed with the Democrats running terrible candidates both times Trump won.
Hopefully this election will show that progressive candidates drive turnout, but I’m not keeping my hopes up that the oligarchs won’t find a way around that.
No beardos, no weirdos, no job you fake tough guy alcoholic womanizer. Another trump / Fox news fucking disaster for the world. Main accomplishments including killing a bunch of school age girls and fucking up the global economy.
I wanna see them all cananalize themselves
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
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.
Let’s reach across the aisle to help that motherfucker get into prison.
thats the thing about Fascists, they will canabilize one another in order to save their own asses. Send him to the Hague.
Lmfao they don’t have the gall to blame The Big Man so they’re throwing the Drunken Chud under the Bus.
Just hand him over to the ICC and call it a day.
I love this idea specifically because the US would then be acknowledging and ratifying their relationship with the ICC.
I was thinking the same. Also an impeachment would take up significant time and resources in the US which could be better used prosecuting people like Stephen Miller, Jared Kushner, and Elon Musk.
Air drop him into Iran
SecDef? I thought he was SecWar now? Next I suppose we’ll be re-renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario?
This place already smells less like a diaper.
