Dude needs actual consequences, not an opportunity to walk away without any
post
Why offer a man accused of war crimes a choice of anything? Just fuck his shit up.
OR - okay OR, hear me out here - Leavenworth.
As someone who lives in Washington, I have a very different view of Leavenworth.
While Leavenworth, Washington is a nice little mountain town, Leavenworth, Kansas has something much worse, however it's more fitting for Kegsbreath.
I looked up Leavenworth, KS....and I have no idea what you're talking about....help a guy out?
Federal prison
Packed with charm, lively festivals, delicious food, unique tours, and year-round fun
Yup! Sure sounds like a Kansas prison!
Like, why? Why give him a choice? Why do they insist on no consequences?
Because consequences mean investigations and that would expose how the game is rigged and how every single one in politics, government and capitalist plays the system.
This is a performance, not a correction.
Because there's no point impeaching someone who no longer occupies the position you're trying to impeach them from?
A better choice would be life in prison or capital punishment.
Give him a pistol with one round a bottle of Jack.
This is not an either/or thing. Pressure him to resign and then impeach him anyway!
Why would they let him off the hook?
I got a third option right here in case he somehow refuses both the other ones.
So even as unpopular as Hegseth is, would they get 67 senator votes? Even in the new congress? I truly wonder.
His only choice should be which direction his small boat goes in as he anticipates where the reciprocal projectile comes from…
It might pass in the house, but unless the senate republicans are really looking for a fall guy, there is little chance for a conviction/removal until the new congress is sworn in and by that time Massie is out...
A lot of Rs are aligning to say that the reason for the ass kicking in this election was the war. Massie is putting them on the record to either stick to that message and do something about it, or it's just all words and no action, or they'll pivot to a new excuse. If they don't vote to impeach kegsbreath then it will come back to haunt them at the next election in two years.
"You knew that the war was illegal and immoral and unpopular, and you knew that it even likely caused the blue tsunami in '26, so why didn't you immediately take action to rectify this when Massie reintroduced articles of impeachment? All you had to do was vote to impeach and you refused. Why should your constituents trust you to do the right thing when you've proven that you'll double down on doing the wrong thing?"
Your guilt has already been determined, this is merely a sentencing hearing. Now what will it be? Impeachment or resignation?
