Yassamin Ansari, Democrat Representative from Arizona, on
introducing articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Crimes and DUI
Hire Pete Hegseth:
“What we have seen out of [The Regime] over this weekend has
been absolutely horrifying and gut-wrenching. The threats against Iranian
civilian infrastructure and the entire country of Iran are unreal and
apocalyptic. Today, [Cankles] said, quote, the entire country could be taken
out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night. That was his quote.
Iran is a country of 90 million people. Threatening them with annihilation is a
monstrous war crime and puts them and American service members and Americans at
grave risk. It also only serves the interests of the Islamic Republic regime,
further entrenching their power, providing them with a convenient boogeyman
while punishing the civilian population. As a chief enabler of this illegal
war, Pete Hegseth is responsible for directing this insane military action
against Iran, which has already killed thousands of civilians, led to the
unnecessary deaths of American service members and displaced over a million
people in the region. That's why I'm introducing articles of impeachment
against Hegseth for repeatedly violating his oath of office and the
constitution, including the disregard of Congress and willful targeting of
civilian infrastructure in Iran, like water desalination plants, like
hospitals, like schools and bridges. As the top official in the Department of
War, Pete Hegseth has the duty to comply with the laws, lead by example for
other military officials, and uphold his commitment to the Constitution above
all else. He has done none of that. Instead, he has trampled on the most
fundamental principles upon which the United States was founded upon, including
the separation of powers, congressional oversight, and respect for the rule of
law. That's why I'm calling for Pete Hegseth's impeachment and removal from
office immediately.”
Ansari is the only
Iranian-American in Congress and is standing for her Iranian people and her
American people, protecting both from a drunk warmonger. Pete has often said he
wants to “kill Muslims” and now he is getting his way and is firing our
generals in order to increase his control over the military and ensure his
loyalists hold top positions.
Hegseth is the real terror threat against this country and
needs to be removed.

Andy Beshear is absolutely right, of course.
ReplyDeleteYes, he is, and good on him for taking this stance in Deep Red MAGA Country.
DeleteAs Debra said, Andy Rocks. So does Kelly. And isn't it surprising that Pope Leo has done more to put a positive spin on Catholicism than any other pope in the last 2000 years. Who'd have thought that compassion might be the key?
ReplyDeleteThe Catholic Church can still fuck all the way off for allowing pedophiles to roam free in their midst and for helping them escape prosecution.
DeleteI was unable to leave comments on any blog yesterday. We'll see if Blogger cooperates today....
ReplyDeleteI get the whole impeachment thing - the why, etc. But Michael Steele put it quite succinctly yesterday: It won't go anywhere, it won't happen; stop trying, stop playing into their [the GOP's] hands and focus on winning the midterms.
SCOTUS actually sent the Conversion Therapy case back down to the appellate court to sort out. But Beshear is right: It's bullying, it physically abusive and has nothing to do with "free speech."
I'd just like to see Cankles explode for being impeached THREE times.
DeleteWell said, all.
ReplyDeleteTruth
DeleteI understand why you might not trust the Catholic Church. I am currently reading a book about Opus Dei which it would appear Pope Leo has read. He had a meeting with the author in the Vatican a week or so ago. Pope Francis was trying to cut down Opus Dei and it seems that Pope Leo thinks similarly. The person who founded Opus Dei was made a saint.....presumably the saint of Con Artists, because Opus Dei is nothing but a con job on the poor dupes sucked into its machinations. The by Gareth Gore book is called Opus and well worth reading. .
ReplyDeleteI will always hold the Church in contempt for their handling of decades, maybe centuries, of child rape. If, and when, they own their shame, I may change my opinion.
DeleteCankles is furious with Kelly because Kelly called him on his bullshit. It’s that simple. See how he sent his minions to threaten Leo and the Vatican. Ugh

I love how Jasmine Crockett is always one to stand up and speak out.
ReplyDeleteShe has zero fucks to give, and I love her for that.
DeleteAnd I hear Lori Chavez-DeRemer may be next on Trump's chopping block. Well, we all know how he feels about women, so why is this surprising?
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for Mark Kelly and Jasmine Crockett and Yassamin Ansari and Andy Beshear and even the Pope. Thank goodness for people who are willing to speak out and resist this insanity.
We need more, and louder, voices in the resistance.
DeleteSadly, the moral and ethical compass has been broken for some time, and more so, since IQ45 began talking about running for office.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that Hegseth sees his comeuppance soon before he can do more damage.
I would like to see DUI Hire Pete Kegsbreath held to the fire.
DeleteThe conversion therapy thing still gets me. I think the justices that voted for that should be strapped in the electric chair and given several zaps and see how they like it.
ReplyDeletePerhaps since they all believe you can easily change someone's sexual orientation, let's put all those ALLEGEDLY straight therapists and judges who push conversion therapy into straight conversion and see if they come out as gay ... assuming they are not already self-loathing closeted gays.
DeletePerfect words to end this horrific week! As long as Cankles and his cabal of vulgarians remain in power, this country will never regain any respect in the world, nor should we! IMPEACHMENT AIN'T ENOUGH AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED! It needs to be arrest, trial, and imprisonment! xoxo
ReplyDeleteDeath would be good, too. I mean, let him croak AFTER arrest, impeachment, trial and imprisonment.
Deletexoxo
I like Jasmine Crockettes statements. Simple and to the point. So many of the other Democrats have long statements that are unlikely to appeal to swinging voters.
ReplyDeleteJasmine always cuts to the chase.
DeletePowerful stuff Bob. Excellent. With Mad Donny threatening to destroy an entire civilisation that has endured for 7000 years, it confirmed my belief that that spineless piece of orange shit has no idea what civilisation even is. And as for Hegseth - he's like a cartoon character who thinks only in terms of strength, bullying, slaughter and one-upmanship. He doesn't deserve to be in any kind of office - even one in the back of a hardware store.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Andy Beshear. There is little supreme about this court... except their power.
