Never.

A woman in charge of the DoD would never order the murders of seventy innocent foreigners on international waters either, Nanners.

356 days until the #MidtermElections & 434 days until we can start the impeachment of Hogsbreath, The Dipshit & the rest of the criminals in this cabinet.
The head of the Pentagon, officially known as the Secretary of Defense, is a "civil officer of the United States." This means they can be impeached under the U.S. Constitution, which allows for the impeachment of the President, Vice President, and all civil officers. Historical Context Historically, federal judges have been the most frequently impeached officials, but other high-ranking officials, including members of the executive branch like the Secretary of Defense, are also subject to impeachment. The process requires a majority vote in the House of Representatives to impeach and a two-thirds vote in the Senate for conviction. Impeachment Process 1. Initiation: The House of Representatives can initiate impeachment proceedings. 2. Investigation: An investigation is conducted to determine if there are grounds for impeachment. 3. Vote: If sufficient evidence is found, the House votes on articles of impeachment. Senate Trial: If impeached, the official is tried in the Senate. Conclusion In summary, the Secretary of Defense can indeed be impeached if there are grounds for misconduct. The process follows the same procedures as for other civil officers.

Finally some good news, Jim!

Here is a non-paywall link to the story:

archive.ph/fPr67
House Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that President Trump had "spent hours at my house" with one of Mr. Epstein's victims, among other messages that suggested that the convicted sex offender believed Mr. Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged. Mr. Trump has emphatically denied any involvement in or knowledge of Mr. Epstein's sex-trafficking operation. He has said that he and Mr. Epstein, the disgraced financier who died by suicide in federal prison in 2019, were once friendly but had a falling out. But Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said the emails, which they selected from thousands of pages of documents received by their panel, raised new questions about the relationship between the two men. In one of the messages, Mr. Epstein flatly asserted that Mr. Trump "knew about the girls," many of whom were later found by investigators to have been underage. In another, Mr. Epstein pondered how to address questions from the news media about their relationship as Mr. Trump was becoming a national political figure. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The messages are certain to inflame the debate on Capitol Hill over the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files, and top officials' decision to backtrack on a promise to fully release them. That issue, which has split Republicans and alienated some of Mr. Trump's right-wing supporters, had faded to the background as the government shutdown dragged on. But the House is set to return on Wednesday to clear legislation to end the shutdown, and attention is likely to shift back to the Epstein matter. In one email from April 2011, Mr. Epstein told Ms. Maxwell, who was later convicted on charges related to facilitating his crimes, "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump." He added that an unnamed victim "spent hours at my house with him , he has never once been mentioned." "I have been thinking about that," Ms. Maxwell wrote back. In an email from January 2019, Mr. Epstein wrote to Mr. Wolff of Mr. Trump: "Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop." House Democrats, citing an unnamed whistle-blower, said this week that Ms. Maxwell was preparing to formally ask Mr. Trump to commute her federal prison sentence. The emails were provided to the Oversight Committee along with a larger tranche of documents from Mr. Epstein's estate that the panel requested as part of its investigation into Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence on sex-trafficking charges. The committee's staff redacted victims' names and any identifying information from the emails. Because the full set of documents has not been released, it was not clear whether the emails had been excerpted from larger conversations that might have provided fuller context. Mr. Trump has condemned continued questions about his handling of the case as a "hoax" perpetrated by Democrats. He has called Mr. Epstein a "creep" and has insisted he never engaged in any wrongdoing with him or Ms. Maxwell. "These latest emails and correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the president," Representative Robert Garcia of California, the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, said in a statement. The three separate email exchanges released on Wednesday were all from after Mr. Epstein's 2008 plea deal in Florida on state charges of soliciting prostitution, in which federal prosecutors agreed not to pursue charges. They came years after Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein had a reported falling out in the early 2000s. One was addressed to Mr. Epstein's longtime confidante Ghislaine Maxwell, while two were with the author Michael Wolff.

I mean… The Dipshit already took a wrecking ball to the East Wing. Hopefully he’ll be inside with his entire administration, waiting to greet our extraterrestrial friends.

I‘m guessing that The Dipshit doesn’t math well or realize that one trillion dollars = $1,000B?

Such a fucking dummy… and while highly unlikely, I so very badly want SCOTUS to make him pay back every cent that was collected in tariffs.

“Senators Rand Paul & others have stated that we don’t know who these people are…”

Every single member of this administration & the GOP should be held accountable for these murders.

Awe… that’s wonderful, Talia! 🩷

My favorite little Squirrel lived in our yard & hatched several litters of scamps over the last few years. She was a prolific peanut Princess.

She hasn’t been around the last couple of months & I’m afraid that one of the ‘hood hawks or bobcats snatched her.

I didn’t realize that our nation was being destroyed by a Valley Girl. The Dipshit is, like, so totally not Presidential.

"I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. OK? We’re going to kill them. You know, they’re going to be, like, dead.”

"I think we're just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. OK? We're going to kill them. You know, they're going to be, like, dead," Trump said. Hegseth dismissed suggestions the strikes might be illegal, saying: "We know our authorities, they're locked tight." So far in the region, the US has launched at least 10 lethal strikes targeting alleged narco-trafficking boats, killing 43 people. Trump has warned that attacks on land will be next. "There can be no doubt that the US government is engaged in extrajudicial killings at sea. Drug traffickers should be arrested, not executed on the spot," said Paz Zarate, an international law expert at Chile's Andrés Bello diplomatic academy. Laura Dickinson, a former official in the Pentagon general counsel's office, said she had "really serious concerns about the legality of the strikes" under both domestic and international law. Dickinson said in order to stage armed conflict with a non-state actor, a government must demonstrate that its adversary is using weapons of war, controlling territory and committing protracted violence. Trump and Hegseth "really haven't put forward a basis to show that" The administration claims to have intelligence proving the targeted boats were trafficking drugs, but has provided no evidence publicly. "That legal basis requires a showing of an imminent armed attack on the US and they've not shown that," said Dickinson. Some legal experts also argue that the strikes violate the 1949 Geneva Conventions, a set of international laws aimed at minimising the brutality of war. The US in 1992 ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, an international treaty that safeguards the right to life.

The key word here is “suspected,” as in assumed. Not proven or known, as there is no evidence of such illegal activities having taken place.

The US is murdering people in cold blood based on a belief or allegation. This is highly illegal & the people responsible (GOP) should be held accountable.
Hours before Parnell announced the news, Hegseth said the military had conducted the 10th strike on a suspected drug-running boat, leaving six people dead and bringing the death count for the attacks that began in early September to at least 43 people.

To All Of My Fellow Fond of Feline Friends…

Costco has the latest Litter Robot LR4 bundle for only $699. Only - ha! Butt - pun intended - it really is worth the investment to keep their box(es) clean - esp when you have 6 kitties like us.

Hurry, as they won’t last at this price. 🩷🐈🤖

#Cat #Kitty
Litter Robot LR4 Bundle is only $699 at Costco. The Litter Robot LR4 Bundles comes with lots of extras that would normally cost substantially more. Although expensive, this is a terrific price to get so much stuff. Happy #Caturday Eve!

This is the party of grift, sexual predation, oppression, kidnapping & murder.

Their hideous Lord & Savior is a 34x convicted felon that continues to break laws daily, so I seriously doubt that this asshole will be removed from office for his sexual misconduct & ethics violations.

#FuckTheGOP
And that leads directly to an investigation the House Committee on Ethics already has underway. In December 2024 , the Office of Congressional Conduct referred multiple allegations of official misconduct — including questionable campaign finance reports and suspected deception in his personal financial disclosures — to the Ethics Committee. The most serious charge before the Ethics Committee: Pacem, the name for a pair of weapons businesses Mills founded, holds contracts with the federal government. Depending on Mills’ level of ownership while he served in Congress (and in particular, served on the House Armed Services Committee) that could be a violation of congressional conflict-of-interest laws.

Hooray for one teeny victory. Let‘s hope it’s not temporary.
The attempts to promote religion in the classroom and the abuses of power that the Oklahoma State Department of Education engaged in under Walters' tenure should never happen in Oklahoma or anywhere in the United States again," the attorneys said in a statement.

The kneepads are hilarious, P.

Remember when the OG Apple logo used to be rainbow flavored?

I’m sure that vintage symbol of hope & promise would infuriate Tim’s anti-DEI, homophobic Lord... to whom Cook gave that golden trinket to curry favor.

I wish that Steve Jobs was still alive & at the helm.
The original rainbow colored Apple Computer logo from the 70s. Kissass Tim Cook’s pathetic gift of gold to The Dipshit to get in his good graces, despite the fact that Cook is a gay man & FOTUS is clearly anti-everything but white, straight humans.
