John Oliver devotes Last Week Tonight episode to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Massie reintroduces articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth
Never thought I'd type this, but I agree with Thomas Massie. A Republican impeaching a Republican's Defence Secretary. They'll need a group chat to keep track of who's rigging what against whom 🤦🏽♂️
Now's your chance Pete! bsky.app/profile/midd...
bsky.app/profile/kevi... Opening statement. Let John Oliver deliver it.
So Accountable starts today, & it’s from a Republican
Great timing, because it forces repubs to act, or look like even bigger asshats once the dems all get seated.
I'll give Massie this much. He knows his name will be little more than a foot note in history books. This makes that foot note look heroic, omitting the bulk of the other evil he's done. Glad to see Hegseth being the first casualty too, what a piece of shit he is.
AND shutting the Iran War
“Make it so number one”
And so it begins 🍿
It’s very much appreciated. But representative Massies was just as responsible for Trump‘s rise to the White House as any other Republican.
Just remember, broken clocks...you do NOT have to give it to this antisemitic shit stain because he did two things that don't count as horrible in his miserable existance.
8 individual charges. You can dodge maybe one, but the other 7 will bury you. Get fucked kegsbreath
This vote will be fascinating
Pete Hegseth's lawyer: Don't worry, we'll fight this. It's not like you killed someone. You did? Well they still have to prove it. It's not like you posted hype videos bragging about all the killing you were doing
oh, you did? it's alright, you just have to get the president to pardon you! it's not like you've been being set up as a scapegoat
"Okay, but like it was only once, right? We can spin it as an accident if it was just the once."
You did? Oh boy. Okay, thinking. Thinking... Have you tried donating to the ballroom?
what are the odds that the actual handwritten constitution specifically forbids a pardon "in cases of impeachment"?
Hey! You specifically advised me to keep posting this shit!
Now that I look at my schedule, I may not be able to take your case.
"It's not like you were repeatedly on television saying that everyone who thinks murder is bad is stupid and gay, right?"
Hegseth's Lawyer: yeah just wait in this room for a minute while i step out to talk to my colleagues Hegseth:
Men heeft de laatste jaren van Pinochet heel moeilijk gemaakt. Hegseth zal niet merr veel reizen, denk ik.
the warrior ethicist might need a different job in a country without extradition to the us
You did that too? As your attorney, my goal now is to ensure due process. How would you feel about a plea deal, on the off chance anyone is setting up a RICO case in the background?
OMG!!! Pete Hegseth is being impeached for Treason, high crimes and misdemeanors! 😱
🎉 💃🏽and Russell brand was sentenced to 10 years and some months! I’ll take any victory over the Epstein class and traitors!
Send him to The Hague for War Crimes and let him hang if he is found guilty
And a Republican filed the articles!! apple.news/A8hCBxuA3Ryu...
Will the execution be televised?
And Trump is mentioned in one of the articles as well in reference to the kidnapping of Maduro. I think Massie put that in there as a way to possibly get Trump in the future with impeachment.
Looks like he picked a bad day to pretend he'd given up drinking!
COLLINS: Will you stand by Pete Hegseth if he's impeached? TRUMP: Yeah, I'll stand by him. He won two wars. Massie is a lower. Just like you're a loser at CNN.
I’d like to see Collins burst out laughing at him just once when he says shit like this. One thing a malignant narcissist can’t tolerate is being laughed at.
Trump never misses an opportunity to show that Second Grade was his Senior Year.
Someone PLEASE punch him in his orange mouth. I’m usually against elder abuse but I’ll always make an exception in his case.
We lost a fucking decade of progress to this shit.
What a waste of fucking everything
I wish Collins would say, "Is that all you got, Loser?"
I don't know if incompetence is, by itself, an impeachable offense, but Hegseth has been massively incompetent. Put it this way: Iran and Russia would probably join Trump in opposing the Hegseth impeachment.
He'll stand by Pete both because he's loyal, and because Trump can never admit he was wrong. He'll also dump him in a heartbeat if he concludes doing so is better for Trump.
He forgot the “Piggy Part”
Narrator - Wherein Trump admits to at least 2 war crimes. Because we have had no war approved. Right?
Trump will not, I assure you, stand by Hegseth. He will support him for about 20 minutes.
"Massie is a Loser. Just like you're a loser, at CNN." #Blues #ProudBlue
We really need to rake the journos over the coals that put up with his bullying just for access
The first person to reply “I’d rather be a loser than a felon rapist” will never pay for another drink in this country.
Speaking of losers, Trump and Trumpism were the biggest losers in decades.
I can't wait to see the consequences of this assholes actions! #Blues
John Oliver's whole show tonight is about Pete Hegseth, who has plenty to say about women in combat. Oliver: His own mother once wrote: "You are an abuser of women. That is the ugly truth."
Is there anyone better than John Oliver?
I stopped watching Last Week Tonight when Trump was elect d because it was too depressing to be reminded of him. Maybe I’ll start again
First thing I listened to/watched this morning. Oliver and his team are brilliant.
And He’s never even commanded a battalion… he’s a sad weak man.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “Impeaching Pete Hegseth is unfair. Pete's done a good job.”
Background on Massie forcing a vote to impeach Hegseth.
If you consider committing war crimes doing a good job. 🙄
You would think given the midterm results and the resounding rebuke American Voters just put out that Rubio who was once considered the stable one in the Administration would have a clue and not be so eager to tie himself permanently to the anchor of political dead weight that is Whiskey Pete.
The extrajudicial killings that have killed roughly 244 lives in international waters from the Boat Strikes (plus)+ The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Iran that killed over 100 schoolgirls should have ended Pete Hegseth.
File that comment away for when Rubio tries to run again.
But of course, the man who stood by idly when USAID was destroyed would think that a war criminal did a good job.
two dumb bitches telling each other "EXAACCTLLYY!"
you know, it's fair to say he's done a good job if your goals are also war crimes, abducting foreign leaders, and waging a campaign of murder on the high seas
That’s something you say when you’re complicit in the Venezuelan kidnapping and the extrajudicial boat strikes. Lil’ Marco knows he’s on the list
Little Marco should probably lawyer up, too.
I said yall need to be looking at locking up Rubio too and I meant it. He sat right there while they were killing random fisherman in the Caribbean. Lock his ass up
Save this soundbyte for when Rubio runs for President
Marco ass need to be next!
He's a good murderer, Savannah!!!
Rubio: "IF you impeach Pete I'm next"
When Rubio decides he’s going to run for president, which I promise you he’s already decided and just hasn’t announced, remember, he thinks Hegseth is doing a good job. Act accordingly. 
Doug Wilson preaches holy war, iron discipline, and male dominance. And one of his disciples runs the Pentagon and might face an impeachment vote later this week.
He’s the “women make the sandwiches, God said so” guy. He can go jump in a lake.
Just look at him. Evil
Beats the boys, turns them in to sociopaths and grooms the girls for teen marriage and total submission to males. This man oozes evil.
For the USA to ever become sane we really need to address the stagnation caused by religious indoctrination
He is another scourge on the land.
He looks like he was kept in isolation along with Steve Bannon to prevent the numerous diseases they carry from infecting the defenseless public.
Trump lashes out: I'll stand by Pete Hegseth even if he's impeached. Massie is a loser. Just like you're a loser, CNN. Stone cold loser.
Trump is not going to heaven.
I feel like the follow up question is, "how do you define 'a loser' and are you also 'a loser' now?"
No. Trump is the loser. And he lost BIGLY.
“I’m not a loser, you’re a loser.”
8th grade debate club when a substitute teacher is there for the day
Trump is awful: an emotionally immature, repetitive, corrupt, obsessive liar. The American people are DONE with him and his lies.It seems that daily headlines always start with “Trump lashes out…””Hegseth lashes out…”, etc. etc.Someone is always lashing out in that crowd: they’re misogynist crooks.
this is going great, i don’t think he should even replace the press secretary, he should do this solo every day
This dudes last two years in office are going to be a fucking disaster for him and his party lol
this rocks, the midterms weren’t even a week ago and he’s already crashing out bad
oh my G-d he's *doing his own press conferences*, jesus christ the next [N <= 24] months are going to be funny
The Republicans who will still hold office come January support Trump and his abusive bullying and they'll be on the ballot at their next elections.
i think he should give press conferences every single day
Hahahaha this fucker is going straight to hell
I think that heaven or hell debate is settled.
Dems have the best possible foil for the next two years. Praying we don’t fuck it up and also that this wounded and cornered animal doesn’t hit the nuke button.
Chat the president is doing his own press conferences, is this a good sign?
