Rep. Thomas Massie forces House vote to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
Of course Pete Hegseth’s first press conference in 6 months is about himself. And of course he’s wearing tons of makeup.
Eric Wojciechowski 23I say to improve international relations and good will, we hand him over to Iran. Oil would drop to $25 a barrel, and the Straight would be a fast lane.
Netty Bo Betty18Hegseth’s security team threatened the press. They’d be physically removed from the briefing room if they’re not professional and maintain decorum. Asked if that meant no shouted questions and got no clarity. It’s the first time any of us could ever remember being threatened like this.
Ramona14Bragging about his war crimes isn’t a good look for the United States.
Angrywhitebitch6How else he gonna get in the maralagoface club?
Barbara6He’s doing his “here’s my defense” show. Oh please 🙄
Mabs A'Mabbin5Just turned him off. Substantive still hovering at zero.
Pete Hegseth is giving a press conference right now. He can save that bullshit, and say what he has to say under oath during his impeachment hearings.
CindyWritesFunny12He's taking the fall with a side of pardon.
fosterl.bsky.social9“We control the Strait of Hormuz” ~says all you need to know his speech is all lies!!
Stephen Miller is a Nazi🏴☠️🏳️🌈🇺🇦🇨🇦8Everything’s a TV show for them. They do not live in reality.
Nuggets With Extra Sauce8There’s going to be a lot of clips from this briefing played at his trial.
JazzComposer7The "Hitler told me to do it" defense did not work at Nuremburg: www.britannica.com/event/Nurnbe...
cmgiovann.bsky.social7If he had a real lawyer, instead of Blanche, his lawyer would tell him to shut up. Good thing he's got Blanche.
Pete Hegseth: Only history can judge the noble mission that I am on Future historians: Did this idiot really say "no fatties, no trannies and no beardos"??
Lydia 🥀266Did you really have to repeat the slur though?
Irish aka Drew (he/they)🏳️🌈197You absolutely would NOT type out the n word just because it's part of a quote, so why would you do it with the t slur?
GLITTERDXCK RECORDS178I don’t think you can reclaim that slur, man. This fucking sucks.
Moschops 🦕🦖127Typing out slurs is fucked up, man. bsky.app/profile/andr...
Liz the holly jolly lizard 🏳️⚧️99You can’t be talking like that cis boy
🍂90not sure we needed the slur
Lydia 🥀127I’m honestly so tired of cis people just typing out slurs. “It’s a quote” Who gives a fuck?!? What other slurs are appropriate to type out if you’re quoting someone?
Transphobes Can't Read100Journalists are just throwing around the t slur now?
Julian Sanchez88Someone should remind them that actually, history isn’t written by the winners. It’s written by academics.
MistyMayFan77Seriously fellow cis people, STOP FUCKING USING THE T SLUR. You would censor the N word. You'd censor any other slurs but this one Yall are waaaaaaay too fucking comfortable throwing it out
shreyan (wise)72guys please censor that word when reporting on it if you're cis. it *is* a slur
gwen 🌶️👹44report this for hate speech
Daniela Navarro38for the millionth fucking time: cis people are not allowed to use that fucking word. cut that shit out.
Noelle32Hey Thor, why are you so comfortable using the t-slur??? I’m fairly confident you wouldn’t be using the n-word even if you were quoting someone. Knock it off.
THEE Mabel Smalltits29Hey, shit bag, what other slurs do you use in your posts?
Lenna24Can libs please stop saying slurs and thinking it's fine because you put it in quotes? If Hegseth said the n-word all y'all would be saying n-word So what the fuck made y'all think saying tr*nnies was okay?
Your regular reminder the Secretary of Defense is a dangerous idiot
Imaxximus28The fun part is that Major hegseth can be court martialed by the next admin. Just ask Senator Kelly how it works.
Steve Cookie Monster 🍪👹22that was the theme of last night's US Foreign Policy class focusing on civ-mil relations. I had to change my slides multiple times due to the story about using the internet to strike officers from promotion, the speech and policies at the war colleges, and then the impeachment dropped.
antener.bsky.social14His pressers are like a very angry time share presentation.
He watched “A Few Good Men” and thought that Colonel Jessup was the hero.
Scot9Dear Pete: Policy decisions that lead to high crimes are in fact high crimes my dude...
eddiethebulldog.bsky.social6.. and former weekend Fox News host! (Never forget that this is the Influencer Administration - and it’s proving the difference between clickbait cranks and competent actors.)
Peter Sagal470Kai says things like this, I remind you he was a Naval aviator. Those are the rules.
jzp - 86 472Hegseth beats McNamara and Rumsfeld as all-time worst SecDef. Arbitrary and capricious firing in a professional military is neck and neck with his war crimes, racism, and white nationalism.
Hegseth: "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" 🤔
mdanz.bsky.social616Well I guess that’s true but what does that have to do with him ?
MauS352Oh, he's so close to getting it...
Our Common Defense113well none of the Impeachment Articles claim you did actual lawful stuff
Defend Democracy46Did he say “lawful”?? Ahem.
Uncle Eagle41I believe lawful is the key word there... (not that other DoD SecDef folks werent also war criminals, Hegseth was just louder & prouder about it)
Ramona29I love how he says Iran started the war- 47 years ago. Geez, we sure were slow in responding to their aggression.🤣😂🤣. It’s funny he thinks we’re all stupid.
Shannon E French26Yes… and the key word there is “lawful” - super important word
Derrick ♎ 🟧 🟦#BLM 🏳️🌈25He's spot on for once. And he's so close to getting it!
Dave Calder14That record will still hold when Hegseth is impeached.
tomwellborn3rd10He should feel honored to be the first.
David Manning7The thing is, none of it was Lawful. See also "Trial of the Major War Criminals Before the International Military Tribunal (Nuremberg, 1947)"
Paul Muad'Dib6Perhaps they were unlawful and also unconstitutional operations? That's the price of leadership and making the big bucks. You chose wrongly. Live by the Mango Mangina sword, die by the Mango Mangina sword. #Blues #ProudBlue
Shell W4Someone please tell Whisky Pete that extra judicial killings are, in fact, UNLAWFUL.
Mike Rhone4I would question whether executing fishermen without due process is a lawful military operation, but maybe that’s just me.
Krisanne Combs4So close to the point, there, Petey!
thrilloilogy 🍉🔻4Bruh, what exactly do you think war crimes are?
Veteran Group is opposed to the Iran war and Pete Hegseth. "The group is particularly outraged that the Trump administration launched the Iran war without a plan to evacuate military families living in the region before the conflict began in February."
Sage Silva (any/all)3This is why, as a veteran, I don’t always respect other veterans. We bombed elementary schools, but they are “particularly outraged” that they didn’t have enough notice to leave before then. Vile.
George3Stop at "launched the war without a plan."
💙🇺🇦 🚫🧊2this says it all. not removing military families to safety before engaging in war?!??
Medoyid_ua2Launching a war before evacuating your own families is the whole indictment. It tells you nobody modeled the first 72 hours, let alone the aftermath, and those in uniform pay for that improvisation.
Calvin Chann1He needed an Epstein distraction. And he doesn’t plan so there’s that too.
Kingsman1This what happens when fill your Administrationwith people from Fox News. Trump Only the Best People.
Congress is preparing to vote on whether to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in part because of the illegal boat strike campaign the U.S. military has been carrying out in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.
ACLU279We don’t take a position on cabinet appointments or removals, but we do believe these lethal strikes, which have killed more than 244 people, constitute murder.
pnw phynicks13Duterte also committed extrajudicial killings and he's sitting at The Hague right now for trial on 11/30.
Proud Mexicana8We lost military members because of his trash ass 🤬
James Sheridan7The hubris of our macho foreign policy, relying on military might alone, led the United States into the unwinnable quagmires in Korea, Vietnam, and now Iran. As in Greek tragedy, the gods would intervene to discipline and humiliate those with hubris.
EASTMAN6Hegseth’s desperation to keep his job shows that he is weak and pathetic. But as long as he remains in power, our sons and daughters in the military are at increased risk due to his narcissistic ignorance. As a Christian nationalist, he is divorced from reality, and that is a danger to the nation.
R Cherenson1He is a cold blooded murderer.
NEWS: Pete Hegseth stood defiant today, throwing blame on Donald Trump for the wars overseas as an impeachment vote looms today. Republicans privately worried it will pass. Trump loses grip on some Republicans. Trump Administration begins destroying documents to avoid investigations.

moziedk.bsky.social6Destroyed evidence should default to proof of guilt. Lock them all up, and throw away the keys.
Bill4Desperate times for desperate people
corgirules2.bsky.social2Oh geeezzzz....flood the pool room again...
CoachN2As I was discussing earlier, it may actually be to Hegseth’s advantage for this to get done now. I’d give it 60% chance in the House. If it passes, he should want it going to the Senate ASAP, where the pathway to 66 is difficult. If the new Senate gets this, removal has a real chance.
Barbi241The finger pointing starts! It will continue too.
Stéphanie Taberner 🔶 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇫🇷4The GOP always behaves as expected 🙄 and yes, as expected they are turning against each other 🍿
@GottaLaff4Could've stopped at "Trump loses grip"
franz-wien.bsky.social3Die Trump-Regierung beginnt mit der Vernichtung von Dokumenten, um Untersuchungen zu verhindern. Das sind doch eindeutige Zeichen, dass sie selbst mit ihrem Untergang und gerichtlicher Verfolgung rechnen. Anders formuliert: Sie wissen, dass sie viel Dreck am Stecken haben!
Congresswoman Sara Jacobs delivers a blistering takedown of Pete Hegseth, confronting him with the devastating human and financial costs of the Iran war. She didn't hold back, telling Hegseth that if he considers this a victory, perhaps his mental stability should be questioned.👏👏👏👏👏
🍂🌊🌎🛡️AntiFAbe🛡️🌍🌊🍂14Look at him They don't care & will continue It seems to resemble the very same mechanism and the same apathy that were witnessed back then in Nuremberg 👇🏽 'No one showed any sign of remorse': The heroic US lawyer who put Nazi death squad members on trial at Nuremberg www.bbc.com/culture/arti...
Rudy Terwilliger 🐺 🥷 🍉8He’s a smartarse who’s about to get spanked publicly, & should be turned over to The Hague.
jack5@sarajacobs.house.gov I see you San Diego 619smoke
Frida5Brava!! @sarajacobs.house.gov keep it up
Mat3Just remember, one day he'll be dragged before Congress/Senate without the backing of the DOD/DOJ nor Trump to answer questions, he should "LAWYER UP"
Woman, Outraged3And he smirks at her... I have incandescent rage!⚡️🔥☄️
John Oliver Reveals Pentagon Called for His Deportation (John is a U.S. citizen) The HBO host says dealing with Hegseth’s team “felt like dealing with a bunch of dickhead teenagers” "FREEDOM OF SPEECH! ...unless a comedian hurts Dear Leader's feelings!" 😭 www.thewrap.com/creative-con...
StrictlyChristo 🇺🇦🌻22Holy shit, John, you just eviscerated that man! This is so fucking good! Hegseth must be impeached! Immediately! Because we all know he doesn't have the good grace, foresight or sense of self-preservation to resign. bsky.app/profile/stri...
Medoyid_ua3The deportation line is the tell. Hegseths Pentagon is borrowing the Kremlin habit of treating criticism as a security threat, and a US citizen comedian is the test case. Free speech doesnt survive when the people running the military start thinking like the people theyre supposed to deter.
Frances 🇺🇦1I wasn’t born in the US but so far no one has noticed my Canadian accent.
Step 🐸1Very juvenile response from the childish cult that is the Trump administration
Reddy the Yote1"He is a national security threat, he is mean to me and the most present danger to my authority to command the military" Him:
I will vote YES to impeach Secretary Pete Hegseth. His rap sheet includes the illegal Iran war, illegal strikes in Yemen (where he mishandled classified information via Signal), and over 200 murders in boat strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific. He’s dangerous and needs to go.
jack2And vote NO for Hakeem Jeffries. We voted for new leadership. Listen to the voters. Leadership in the democrat party wants a coronation. They want to threaten committee seats. Jeffries stacks committees with AIPAC and AI democrats. Hakeem Jeffries does not represent the future San Diego wants.
EASTMAN1Hegseth’s desperation to keep his job shows that he is weak and pathetic. But as long as he remains in power, our sons and daughters in the military are at increased risk due to his narcissistic ignorance. As a Christian nationalist, he is divorced from reality, and that is a danger to the nation.
Ingrid 2.01I will miss having you as my Rep. Scott Peters is good but I love your energy & responsiveness.
salissav.bsky.social1He’s also a sexist, racist POS.
Pete Hegseth’s press conference is going about how you expected it… He’s screeching that President Biden’s Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin wasn’t impeached over the “Chinese spy balloon” and regurgitating the tired line of “peace through strength” about his and Donald Trump’s disastrous war in Iran.
lyncglas7God, its worse than the stomach cramps from chemo that I have today.
Grammyrulz6Trump also had Chinese spy balloons. Trump also has Chinese spies at Maralago.
redjohn5555.bsky.social6Did he mention his top secret plan leaked on signal to a journalist?
marketdoctor.bsky.social3Ty for "taking one for the team"; I didn't want to watch, but I wondered what happened.
David Bailey2Sorry, but I'm unclear how burning through most of our weapons stockpiles and losing a war in a quick and dramatic fashion equates to 'strength'.
I Got Popcorn2As the old saying goes, "Going to war for peace is like screwing for abstinence" 🙄
