    The foxnews host turned pentagon secretary has already thrown his officer under the bus.

    Trump's DUI-hire is passing the buck, cowardly pinning it on his subordinate

    even tho Hegseth gave the original order to have everyone kill

    The next question should be "Did you tell the Admiral to give the order?"

    It's the incompetent narcissist and adulterer putting another narcissist brown shirt adulterer incompetent in charge. You are right though. Hegseth can't hold Mark Kelly"s jockstrap. He is nothing but a Ken Doll adulterer playing GZi Joe while he changes Trump's diapers and tells him his sh*t smells like roses.

    If your conscience and your oath aren't enough, the last reason and the selfish reason to disobey illegal orders is because you will absolutely be the one who gets thrown under the bus to save people like Patron Pete.

    I have zero sympathy for military officials who are upset if they get hung out to dry for these orders. Zero.

    Trump 2.0's DUI hire is the 21st century verson of William Calley, of My Li Massacre infamy


    William Calley led the My Lai massacre, in 1968, that
    shamed U.S. military in Vietnam



    [​IMG]


    Soldiers eventually testified to the U.S. Army investigating commission that the murders began soon after Calley led
    Charlie Company's first platoon into My Lai that morning. Some were bayoneted to death. Families were herded into
    bomb shelters and killed with hand grenades. Other civilians slaughtered in a drainage ditch. Women and girls were gang-raped.

    Calley was convicted in 1971 for the murders of 22 people during the rampage. He was sentenced to life in prison
    but served only three days because President Nixon ordered his sentence reduced. He served three years of house arrest.​

    I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.

    The U.S. has placed a $50 million bounty on Maduro —the largest reward ever offered for a sitting head of state— and $25 million for ruling-party strongman Diosdado Cabello.

    Remember that admiral that resigned not too long ago?

    [​IMG]

    his name was Admiral Alvin Hosley, and this was reported back in October

    Tensions had been simmering between Hegseth and Adm. Alvin Holsey for weeks before the admiral announced he was leaving, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Hegseth did not believe Holsey was moving quickly or aggressively enough to combat drug traffickers in the Caribbean, and he complained about not being given the information he needed about the operations, the sources said. But SOUTHCOM was concerned about the operations not being lawful, the sources added.

    he knew what was coming and wanted no parts of it

    now look at what his successor Admiral Bradley has just done committing war crimes in broad daylight and being made the scapegoat by this regime…he and Pete Hegseth will both need good lawyers

    No they won't. Anyone holding out hope that there will be justice when the Trump presidency ends are being delusional.

    Agreed. The Ancient Democrats will just try to get back to status quo . . .. minus only just a few rights

    To be clear, Trump doesn't read at all and never has.

    How many people do you know devastated in the Midwest by cocaine and weed from Europe??

    Because it’s a fact that these routes, if they were drug boats, would have supplied cocaine to Europe. Fentanyl comes through the border via Mexico and the synthetic ingredients come from China and India.

    The fentanyl epidemic is a product of our healthcare system not being able to properly and affordably treat illnesses so people resort to cheap fentanyl off the streets because they cannot get what they need from insurance that is safe and affordable.

    Trump and the GOP are responsible for gutting the ACA subsidies and actively making the problem even worse and are actively making it far more likely that demand for fentanyl in the Midwest will surge rather than decrease and more people will die.

    This post even for you Basso is pretty flipping ignorant or callously pathetic in its servitude to Trump.

    It's really true, and I've never seen his supporters refute that. The evidence is about as long as the guy's life at this point.
    Even his smartest child (low bar), Ivanka, has clearly removed herself from his orbit.
    Nothing ages better than the reputations of people who resign based on clear principles. Nothing. And good for him.
