Hegseth needs to be impeached by the House prior to Dec 3rd. Let the next Senate convict. An unpardonable indictment for murder would put his public spectacle in a better context.

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.
