    It’s not up to politicians to tell people what to expect of them. The people are the ones who tell the politicians what is expected of them.

      More people need to get this. Obama and Biden conducted airstrikes with the exact same expectations and the exact same “unlawful combatant” policy allowing us to ignore the Geneva conventions.

      I guarantee anyone reading this that the guy calling these strikes has done the same thing his entire career. If they want to change that policy then go for it. But don’t expect anyone to be prosecuted over doing it before that.

    Don’t worry I don’t expect Democrats to do anything even vaguely resembling vertebrate work. Just keep inching along, you worms, and get replaced by a functional, good government.

      The only way the Untied States is getting a functional government and justice system is if there’s a revolution

      While I agree many if not most need to go, when the guy was asked if they would file impeachment articles, his response was basically there is no way the Republicans are going to vote on it so their is no point. Which is true. The Republicans would see a successful impeachment of Hegseth as a fracture that would allow all Republicans to have to answer for their crimes eventually. They’ll shit on every single one of their constituents wants before they do that.

      Shit I don’t know if Johnson would even let it come to a vote

    The narrative here is that the people committing war crimes are also sending soldiers to your city.

    It doesn’t matter if impeachment works. It needs to be said.

      The Democratic party is a neo-liberal party, this is not something they oppose further than rhetoric to pacify the population, they are supportive of these war crimes and the potential colonial war on South America. Remember Obama’s drone strikes that liberals hate to acknowledge.

      The Democratic party uses leftist rhetoric to pacify and squash leftist revolution, they are not on your side.
