Remember last time crazy grandpa went for a drive? He ran others off the road, scattered pedestrians, and wrecked his ride. When his licence was suspended, he rounded up his buddies and ransacked the DMV.
Nevermind, you said, he'll never drive again.
And now hes got a new car.
This won't end well.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

It's related to Trump's underreported advancing dementia. People like Miller are able to take control and become de facto president in the vacuum created by Trump's addled brain. Trump was always bad, but Miller acting through Trump is much, much worse.

Lowell: The president can have bad motive and that motive can be articulated and yet there could be a situation in which there is cause. But here they don't stand independently of each other. Bad motive can't overcome cause. But a bad motive can illuminate that there was no cause.

What happens when you tell officials that they are not accountable to any standards and the people they are imprisoning are the enemy. It is the predictable organizational culture of Trumpism when translated into govt agencies aligned with him.
As of late last month, the investigation—led by US senator Jon Ossoff, a Democrat of Georgia—had unearthed 41 cases of physical and sexual abuse; 14 involving pregnant detainees and 18 involving children.
