Pete Hegseth needs to step down, as do most of the rest of the appointees to Cabinet positions in this tragic circus passing for a presidential administration.
Time will tell if the truth ever surfaces regarding what went on in that first Venezuelan boat strike back in September, and all we’re likely to get from Hegseth is denial or a doubling down. Chances are that he, like Trump and the rest, will slide through, somehow avoid close scrutiny, and stay on to do more damage to the DoD and the country itself. If he does happen to get jettisoned, it will be because Trump no longer found him useful, bad for his brand.
This is the most frustrating aspect of the whole current chapter in our history: there appears to be no way to hold anyone accountable. Federal judges are doing what they can, but attacks from Democrats or any Republican with a conscience are dismissed as whining, or partisan bickering, or the futile cries of disloyal and woke commies and cowards. Lawsuits ensue, or the next distraction materializes that throws the media off the scent.
Seems like one person’s accountability is another’s overreach. It’s a cesspool of irresponsibility and stunning incompetence. But many already knew that. Like, ten years ago.
