Imagine what it does to morale in the military to see the defense secretary hang an admiral out to dry to avoid responsibility for war crimes.

Hegseth told Fox at the time that he watched it live — so there’s that.
It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.
So there’s that, too.

Oh this is beautiful. Whiskey Pete won’t be able to wiggle out of this one so his effort to scapegoat Bradley didn’t work & of course everyone in the military will still remember he tried to do it.
Pete Hegseth on Sept 3 talking about the strike on boats where 2 survivors were later killed in a second strike: “I watched it live.”

Hegseth’s cowardice & effort to scapegoat the guy that followed his “kill them all” order (that Hegseth was bragging about all of 2 days ago) will end up sending the “do not follow illegal orders” message through to the military loud & clear.
These depraved reprobates will never have your back.

The secretary of defense throwing a top military official under the bus to protect himself. A beacon of integrity.

As I discussed with Greg and in this piece, after its first year under a dictatorship, the United States now has its first lame duck dictator. An increasingly unpopular, and mentally and physically deteriorating, Trump will also be very dangerous - requiring an ever more effective opposition.

Yeah, he looks fucking top notch. I think I’ll go with my eyes over the Ronny Jackson-style MRI analysis.

Ukraine and all of Europe need to tell Trump, Kushner, and Witkoff to F**K all the way off and not come back.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

This is the least that we should be able to expect from Congress but it is still progress and it shows that Republicans know that Trump is weak.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

Hegseth decides he is going to tweet through his exposure as a murderer — by promising to gladly keep murdering more people — is certainly a choice that a future criminal defendant can make.
