Trump and Hegseth and Miller are bloodthirsty psychopaths. These are murders, plain and simple. It’s time for the military itself to oust this filth.

PLEASE…don't take this wrong. But EVERYONE in Trumpty Dumpty's cabinet are psychopaths and murderers. Their own cult members are killing others and themselves.

EVERYONE that's participated in this regime, be it the “Orange Messiah” or the “poor dumb ICE agent who was just “doing what he was told” needs to be prosecuted in accordance with the law. And if Trump bilaterally pardons them, they should be turned over to an international court for prosecution.

The individuals participating in these actions are “KNOWING PARTICIPANTS” don't be fooled. They WANT to do what their doing and are doing it and ENJOYING it!!!

ICE especially enjoys this. They are just brutal law breakers.

Why are the local police and local government not arresting them? How come California was able to get rid of them and not other states?

Gnome needs to go NOW, and Hegseth.

You covered it well, @Angie.

We all know Republicans will not vote for impeachment.

K B's avatar

No, charge with treason, every single one of the cult!

IDPROBABLYBEJANINE's avatar

That's is what Article 2 Section 4 of the Constitution is. But we have to hold the entire regime accountable

Judy Aims's avatar

And who exactly would be the ones doing the charging? The DOJ? Your comedy act just made me spew coffee through my nostrils 😆😂🤣

IDPROBABLYBEJANINE's avatar

Wow so much negativity ☺️

Judy Aims's avatar

This will never happen, as long as Republicans run the show

IDPROBABLYBEJANINE's avatar

That's why 5 Republicans are stepping into other assignments and 15 others are gonna retire.

Trump claims that Biden was unaware of his pardons due to the autopen. Here we have Trump literally admitting he is unaware of his pardon of Hernandez

He doesn’t remember letting 17 members of El Chapo’s family into the U.S. either. Because he is a Senile old fart who belongs under the prison. I can’t wait until he is brought before the court for war crimes. I have my popcorn ready.

Carolyn's avatar

I suspect he knows exactly what he is doing with his "I don't know" & "I wasn't aware" crap. Just like he claimed in 2024: "I don't know anything about Project 2025." Then SURPRISE! on Day one: all executive orders are directly from P2025.

Concerned Citizen's avatar

Exactly! Remember, Ronald Reagan couldn’t remember either.

Forgive my ignorance for a minute - this cabinet does whatever the hell it wants 100% of the time. What will freezing part of Hegseth's budget actually achieve?

Declan's avatar

True that....its slightly more effective than the 'sternly worded letter'

DM's avatar

what next? they'll phone his mum

Mike Hammer's avatar

They might sic Susan “I’m concerned” Collins on him.

Good. Congress needs to start growing a spine.

Leslie  McCollom's avatar

That is a huge understatement. But perhaps Congress will start to act as it was intended to act. I dearly hope so.

Martin Olson's avatar

Excellent reporting. Thank you.

Trump is full of shit!

Thanks for this in-depth analysis, Adam.

I’ve been beating the drum on this exact development over on Bluesky the last couple days, because it really does have teeth.

These provisions will absolutely put guardrails on Hegseth and on how the military can operate under him.

One quick add — the spending bill also includes several other oversight mechanisms worth flagging:

•Restrictions on unilateral changes to targeting authorities

•Mandatory reporting to Congress on any fatal strikes

•Limits on secret travel and discretionary Pentagon spending

•Strengthened requirements for documenting and preserving operational footage

•No forming new special ops groups or strike units without Congress

•No restructuring the military or rerouting the chain of command.

All of these work together to box in the kind of extrajudicial behavior we’ve already seen hints of.

Give this back to the Coast Guard which has decades of experience doing just this interdiction and putting people into the justice system as per the rule of law. Not this BS where they go murder people who they have no idea what they are doing out there. Some are just fisherman!!!!

KK's avatar

Only part of his travel budget? How about withholding his entire paycheck, grounding him from all travel AND docking him a daily fee for holding evidence!

Put Both of those Bastards in a cell and search everything they have until you find it. No time for waiting. WTF!!

Judy Cross's avatar

It's about time. Now they need to start doing more against this regime. Make them follow our Constitution. Stop the corruption. Stand up and do their jobs, and not be a puppet of Trump. Take our Country back so that we can start rebuilding it. Impeach Trump like they should have long ago, and impeach Vance if he doesn't do his job. In the private sector there would not be one person in this regime that wouldn't have been fired long ago.

Re vance, "when" not "if."

Justme's avatar

A quarter of his budget? Why not ALL?

James Clark's avatar

It seems pretty obvious that if you made enough money trafficking drugs then you can get a pardon by buying enough of Drumpf's Bitcoin.

Tess's avatar

Imagine what Trump would be getting away with if he had actual competent loyalists in his cabinet. Frightening thought. His current cabinet are primarily fools and idiots whose arrogance will eventually mean their demise. Hope it’s soon, one by one, convict them. 👍

laura oshea's avatar

Adam nobody said a damn thing about tRump pulling $620 million of Pentagon funds to give to Don, Jr’s company to get rare earth minerals out of Ukraine and Alaska. This is fraud. Don, Jr knows nothing about how to do this. It is stealing taxpayer money!!!!!

If Congress was doing their job, Petie would be in prison.
