    Why, because he was too much qualified? Next one is going to discuss war plans in a public irc channel

    Hopefully the next appointee knows to keep war crimes secret so nobody has to mention them and we can kill thousands of innocents in Yemen with less details leaking to the press.

        I can forgive the murder of everyone in an apartment building

        I see you are all for killing and murder of people as you dog-whistle that you want to see people killed in their homes. That “everyone” in a multi-family building, mass murder and violence are your dehumanization messages on social machines of lemmy.

        I can forgive the murder of everyone in an apartment building

        People like you and Pete Hegseth find the power of computers and HDTV Fox News electric media platforms in their hand and technology systems to attack and dehumanize and promote anti-intellectualism with snark and shit-talk to dehumanize those that you disagree with, trying to divide people into groups to classify who is sub-human compared to other groups, instead of promoting that all people are equal and that hate is a common problem no matter the race, nation, time period, geography, religion, eye color, skin color, hair color, height, gender, etc.

        “Most people can’t stand up for their convictions, because the majority of people might not be doing it. See, everybody’s not doing it, so it must be wrong. And since everybody is doing it, it must be right. So a sort of numerical interpretation of what’s right. But I’m here to say to you this morning that some things are right and some things are wrong. Eternally so, absolutely so. It’s wrong to hate. It always has been wrong and it always will be wrong. It’s wrong in America, it’s wrong in Germany, it’s wrong in Russia, it’s wrong in China. It was wrong in 2000 B.C., and it’s wrong in 1954 A.D. It always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

    Remember, losing his job should only be the most minor thing he faces out of all of this.

    He should face felonies for leaking classified information and for actively creating non-traceable government records. He should be spending time in solitary for this, based on other prosecutions.

    Just like his boss.

      My hoop dream is that someone is keeping tabs and notes and if not Republicans take the POTUS next general, all of the charges will be brought then, so the fat fuck can’t pardon them.

    I’m honestly surprised they’re even worried about optics at this point. They pretty much haven’t seemed to care about really anything that’s been done or said by team Trump.

    I heard Aaron Rodgers is looking for something to do…

    Or maybe take Brett Farve before his stupid ass tries to run for governor of Wisconsin.

    Good, but mainly because the opposition can now focus on the more heinous crimes of this administration.

    I was really hoping they’d keep him, rather than replacing him with the next most sycophantic rich boy in line.

    We all know they tolerate rank incompetence and have no care for the lives of americans. Keeping hegseth would make that much clearer, so now it’s someone else’s turn to endanger our lives.
