If Hegseth ends up the fall guy, does he just go back to Fox News like this never happened? The Bongino protocol.

The fact that the Republican Party gets even a single vote is bonkers. These people have proven themselves over and over as morally bankrupt traitors and cowards.
I'm getting Schadenfreude from this! I hope you'll enjoy it, too.
Even if Sinema doesn't go down in flames, it's satisfying to see her in hot water.
No pay wall.
The job *was* to wreck and purge, just like Musk and DOGE. All revolutions need these people.
If the Strait of Hormuz remains closed just until the end of the month, some analysts reckon crude could surge to $150 or even $200 a barrel. That's a recipe for global recession, completely courtesy of Donald Trump. www.economist.com/briefing/202...
Turning the death of an American in uniform into a fundraising pitch isn’t “messaging.” It’s a moral failure. Military families deserve compassion and privacy, not to be exploited for Donald Trump’s pursuit of attention and cash.
Not too different from the 2000's real estate bubble and financial crisis.
They kept that music playing for as long as possible too, well past a connection to the underlying facts. When they finally couldn't deny reality anymore, the crash was huge, fast, and hurt so many other people.
With Trump term 2, the finance and energy industries, and much of the business community, decided nothing matters, nothing's real, line goes up.
Corruption? End rule of law? Global disruption? Meh. Like everything is a meme stock.
They'll deny it as long as they can, but reality will have its say.
I seriously doubt that
I mean, fingers crossed, but I’m very skeptical.
Messily.
Iran isn’t just going to quit fighting, especially after Kharg Island. Israel is planning a massive ground invasion into Lebanon.
Welcome to the regional war we all feared when they started talking about attacking Iran.
Luckily, they aren’t drones that go boom. I’d worry more about adversaries reverse engineering than a specific threat to the homeland.
But, this is an insane story. People don’t just waltz onto one of the most recognizable military bases in the US and walk out with 4 drones.
Not a super easy question to answer, because it really depends. One thing we *haven’t* done is take out Iranian fast boats and smaller craft. They still have plenty of mining capability, and they’re obviously hitting ships with missiles and rockets from the shore.
We would likely take some damage.
The biggest thing that is giving me hope right now is that pretty much everyone with a functioning brain can see that the emperor is naked.
He’s even losing some of his previously hardcore MAGA supporters, surprisingly.
The GOP is absolutely panicking about the midterms, and they should be.
One thing I haven’t seen get a lot of coverage is Trump easing sanctions on Putin under the guise of helping oil prices.
Right now, supposedly the sanctions will go back into effect in a month, but I would absolutely pay attention to that.
It’s a lot. Hang in there, we’ll get through this.
Again, he doesn’t follow laws or court orders, & so the solution cannot be more laws & more court orders that he will also simply not follow. Everyone is kidding themselves that there is another option aside from immediate impeachment & removal.
It's perfectly obvious, but few publications in the US have the raw guts to observe what the Philly Inky does here: the unprovoked war launched in the Gulf by Donald Trump is for the benefit of the fossil fuels industry. The central troika is ExxonMobil, Crown Prince Bone Saw and Vladimir Putin.
Let’s talk Iranian drones and California. Do I think it’s likely? Probably not, but some of you are suffering from a severe failure of imagination.
I’ve seen a lot of “lol it’s 7,500 miles from Iran to Cali, drones would never make it”
1. The article specifically mentioned the goal was to deploy them from surface craft off the coast.
2. Do you not remember the massive drone op in Russia where Ukrainian drones were smuggled in on box trucks and deployed from in country?
That shit could be happening in any storage building or garage in America.
Again, I think it’s probably unlikely, but unlikely does not equal impossible.
Every media outlet in the country should be loudly calling for Tuberville's immediate impeachment or resignation.
Ruby Cramer looks at the DHS agents engaged in operations in Chicago, who target innocent US citizens with the wrong skin color. Charles Exum, the agent who shot Marimar Martínez 5 times, texted a group chat with fellow agents: “I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys."
Tim Skirrow, head of derivatives at Energy Aspects, said the consultancy had been fielding calls this week on whether the government was behind a series of large unexplained trades in recent days. “We were being pushed by clients as to who the big seller was,” Skirrow said. “The speculation was

They are cowards in large party because they keep getting free passes & have for 5.5 years of Trump presidencies, & they know that can keep getting away with it because everyone will give them more free passes. We should not do that anymore.
We need to stop not doing what is legal & required because we assume the 25 Republicans who can end this won’t end it. That is endogenous to the fact that <literally no one is pressuring them at all to end it>. They should not be allowed to appear in public w/o being bombarded w/ questions about it.
It is the obligation of everyone in the press who obsessed about Joe Biden’s mental acuity, & anyone who cares about the law & Constitution, to call for it or impeachment now. Probability of happening is irrelevant to merit.
Yes Linz was right & presidentialism was a grave mistake. But here we are.
Every question to Hegseth should be “Your boss is a Mad King breaking the law & Constitution. So are you. Why aren’t you resigning or invoking the 25th.” Make him answer the questions or blow a gasket. That’s your job. Or at least I thought it was. I’m not sure what journalism is anymore, really.
