    Signal chat.

    If anyone else, and I do mean anyone else, did that with that level of information, we’d be sitting in prison, intent be damned.

    And that’s just the tip of the unethical iceberg that is Whiskey Leaks.

    How is kidnapping the president of a sovereign nation with no authority to do so, murdering people on boats because you think there might be drugs on board, or bombing girls’ schools not high crimes?

    Some thought he might be resigning at this press conference. Oh no. No no no. This is a double down to end all double downs.

    “Murder is just a policy disagreement my bros. Y’all see all those policies I dropped on those fishermen swimming next to their sinking boats?”

    “In the 250 years of our American republic, no Secretary of War or Secretary of Defense has ever been impeached for carrying out lawful military operations,” Hegseth told reporters.

    I don’t see what that has to do with anything. Oh and when your ugly ass gets impeached it will still be a true statement. See that word lawful?

    The whole situation is kind of depressing. He’s not being impeached because of the sickening illegal acts he’s ordered, like murdering innocent fishermen or schoolchildren. He’s not being impeached for illegally launching wars, for which the president carries even more responsibility. He’s being impeached because the Iran war made Republicans look bad and he’s the fall guy.

      I suspect it’s being started by a Republican precisely because of this. They want Kegsbreath to be the fall guy, take his impeachment, and leave the rest of the corrupt administration intact. They want the public to be tired of investigations and impeachments by the time any actually important names come up.
