These Dims need to find a new game.  This Impeachment stuff is so My Space.  BTW, what the hell is a Shri Thanedar? 

Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) will introduce articles of impeachment against War Secretary Pete Hegseth over the follow-up strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean.

Thanedar will unveil the articles of impeachment during a press conference on Thursday morning at Union Station.


Hegseth, according to a Washington Post report, ordered personnel to "kill everybody" aboard the drug boat in the Sept. 2 strikes. However, the White House has said Navy Adm. Mitch Bradley delivered the order for a second strike on two survivors holding on to the boat's wreckage following a devastating initial blow.

Democrats have called Hegseth's alleged actions a "war crime" and have called for him to be punished.

Thanedar said on Monday that Hegseth should be impeached.

"Pete Hegseth is utterly incompetent, totally reckless, and a serious threat to US national security. He must be impeached!!" he wrote on X. A later comment in response to a Hegseth post about the boat strikes, which was seemingly intended by the secretary to be humorous, said, "Nothing funny about committing war crimes!"

President Donald Trump, even as others within the Republican Party express skepticism about Hegseth, has justified the secretary's actions as within a war context.


“I think you’re going to find that this is war, that these people were killing our people by the millions, actually, if you look over a few years. I think last year we lost close to 300,000 people were killed. That’s not mentioning all the families — have you seen what happens with the families?” Trump said.

Hegseth said Tuesday that he did not "stick around" to see the second strike.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Why the second strike?

Sounds pretty stupid to me.

Maybe shri thanedar root meaning in some exotic linguistic I fail to comprehend is retarded.

Were they legal combatants or just pirates?
