Pete Hegseth is a war criminal and so is anyone who follows his illegal orders

On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned:

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

The fact that we cannot rule this out is reason enough to #ImpeachAndRemove
I honestly don’t care if you think I’m a conspiracy theorist.

I believe that DC shooting was a false flag op to justify keeping National Guard troops in DC.

It’s precisely the kind of thing a desperate man would do to keep the military around him, which he can control.

You know what else is an important part? Pushing for him to be removed from power because he is illegally there.
An important part of arresting the consolidation of authoritarianism is convincing corporations and institutions that Trump will eventually be out of power and at that point they’ll face consequences for their actions and by that standard this is a good sign

He's clocked the fact that he may be charged with murder, or similar, in 3 years time, unless Trump issues him a pardon. He'd better not fall out with Trump in the meantime. So he really is Trump's bitch now, even if he wasn't before.

Trump is about to take the US to war because a) he likes war b) he sucks at everything else and c) to defend the sacred principle that brown people who flood America with cocaine are good if they kiss Trump’s ass but we’ll pretend those who don’t pucker up are drug dealers to commit mass murder.

The war crimes they are doing are cause for immediate impeachment and removal.

Impeach Hegseth and Trump today.
Might be a shorter list to name all the kinds of law they aren't breaking. I bet somebody could figure out a tax law angle on it. But "this is specifically something we executed literal Nazis for doing and it is absolutely prohibited under all circumstances" understandably has a bit more purchase.
