Even if it’s still short of the margin needed to convict (assuming no Republicans flip, which is not a good assumption given what I’m about to say), impeachment with a Democrat-controlled Senate is not like impeachment with a Republican-controlled one. The Republicans quashed the trial before it even started, but the Democrats would hold a legitimate one. That is what makes the crimes impossible for the public, and therefore also any Republican who doesn’t want to be out of a job, to ignore.

Not competent enough and too corrupt. Either would cause the upgrade to fail, but we’ve got the double whammy going on.

It probably also doesn’t hurt that he’s a New Yorker, and not being accepted by New York might be what stings Trump the most.

About-to-retire Republican introduces articles of impeachment into an all-Republican congress months before it swings Democrat

Massie also tried to impeach Hegseth earlier this year, before he lost his primary. His motives in this are genuine.

(Johnson adjouned the House in order to prevent a vote on it back in September, so what happened just now was Massie reintroducing it literally the first chance he got.)

Typical Republican DARVO tactics.

Nah, more like:

He didn’t give a fuck even before his mind left the building.

And above all, absolutely zero acknowledgement that it was actually the Republicans who blew up the budget on wars and ICE gestapo and blatant corruption, while attempting to deflect all blame to the Democrats instead.

Ossoff (D-GA)
Warnock (D-GA)

Well that’s a fucking disappointment.

centrist think tank Third Way told the Financial Times that the “majority-makers were mainstream and centre-left Democrats.”

Fucking liars! Centrists mostly underperformed relative to leftists.

More to the point, both Hillary and Kamala lost because they were establishment liberals.

Yes, in the same way that a 50-something worker might get fired for cause and call it “retirement.” It’s a euphemism to save face.

He’s not retiring; he lost his primary to a MAGA.

He legitimately has a shred of integrity and got punished for it.

First of all, not within a day, and second, the replacement can be immediately impeached too. Disruption is still a win compared to letting Hegseth or any replacement purge and politicize the military with impunity.

Get a tripod for your phone and install a third-party camera app like OpenCamera.

The actual issue about the health of the troops is irrelevant; Hegseth’s decision-making isn’t about that. It’s about filtering out anybody who puts objective reality above loyalty to Trump and his fascist agenda. Hegseth is purging the military of political opposition so that when the time comes to throw out the Posse Comitatus Act and march troops to subjugate the American public, nobody will be left to stop it.

What fascist sympathizers are downvoting this warning?

No it isn’t; that’s an insult to 13-year-olds. Not only is Hegseth more childish, there’s a huge element of malice and actual evil that 13-year-olds lack completely.

13-year-olds fuck things up due to inexperience and not taking matters seriously. Hegseth is deliberately stuffing the leadership with loyalists in order to further his fascist agenda.

You’re not going to like my answer, but I’m gonna say it anyway: if you’re a beginner, get good at taking photos with the camera you already have before worrying about spending a bunch of money.

Only when you can honestly say you can take good photos with your crappy phone camera or whatever, and are legitimately limited by your equipment and not your skills, do you need to consider buying that Fuji you’re eyeing. And if you are at that point, stop calling yourself a “beginner.”

Why is there no guillotine emoji?

Same reason the 🔫 emoji renders as a squirt gun these days, probably.
