Impeach Pete Hegseth for the disastrous Iran War

Impeach Pete Hegseth for the disastrous Iran War

Amid a deeply unpopular war, Congress shouldn't be afraid to remove the secretary of defense for his many war crimes and misdemeanors.

This offer still stands. It's been a bruising campaign season. Let us join hands and come together around a shared dream of punishing Washington's warmongering morons. Let the healing begin.

In the spirit of bipartisanship, if Trump is prepared to end this war I am prepared to offer proposals for how he can seek revenge on the idiots who talked him into it. #healing #centrism #bipartisanship

Hegseth may end up as the fall guy anyway, but if not, impeach and remove.

Wrote a quick squib, arguing that in contrast to my usual story about foreign policy and elections, Yes—It Was Mostly the War cato.org/blog/yes-it-was-mos…
Yes—It Was Mostly the War

Yes—It Was Mostly the War

But most importantly, it was the connection between the unpopular war and the economic dislocation it caused that was the aberration here.

As a Marxist materialist I’m supposed to think everything that happens is the product of deep economic forces. But if Trump has simply not done tariffs and not started a war with Iran, both of which he did because he’s a world-historical moron, he’d be taking a modest hit tonight

Congress can pressure the president to stand down in Iran by doing what it usually does best: nothing, writes @GeneHealy. buff.ly/S1cfMb2
Want to stop the Iran war? Don't pay the bill
