Brava and Amen, Tammy Duckworth!!

'Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois released a statement calling for defense secretary Pete Hegseth’s resignation':

"Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately,” reads the statement.

“Hegseth and every other official who was included in this group chat must be subject to an independent investigation. If Republicans won’t join us in holding the Trump Administration accountable, then they are complicit in this dangerous and likely criminal breach of our national security.”

I am liking this direction some seem to be going in. We can no longer worry about looking morally superior or above this kind of language, the other side has gone far beyond this in 2016 anyway. This is how people talk.

This is EXACTLY the way it should be! Hogsbreath has to go!

(I'm from Missouri, where I'm (mis-)represented by "Hawlin' Ass" Hawley and Eric Schmitt-for Brains. Can I please adopt Sen. Duckworth?)

So who is going to have Hegseth arrested and indicted for this crime? How does that happen and how does it work?

There is no rule of law in this country. So how do we go about getting this done?

Thank you for standing up, for saying it out loud, and for protecting our Constitution from the spineless cowards in the opposition party.

They're so busy consolidating their single party power dreams that details such as life and death, democracy, the public good, and the people themselves are unimportant.

Tammy certainly is someone who deserves our respect. She is a true patriot!! If she questions what this group has done I am all for supporting her call for a complete investigation

But if he was,
and if my child lost his life because of Hogsbreath’s
spilling military secrets and plans
there WOULD be retribution

I’m an old man
so it’s not like jail time (or even death)
scares me NEARLY as much
as having my son die because of someone’s
ignorance, incompetence, and malfeasances
