He should be forced to serve the rest of his short term from a jail cell. But best Democrats and all the other elected officials can do is make concerned faces. Shaking their heads.
Has anyone tried folding their arms?
We tried finger wagging but that didn’t work. We’ll try the arm thing next time.
That sounds like a lot of work. How about we compromise on a stern look?
Small signs really showed them. They should try that again.
when the foot-tapping starts, you know it’s on.

The problem is what they destroy on the way.
I can’t wait til the ego fuel runs dry and these fucks are incarcerated.

You can’t skateboard your way out of all your problems, kid.

We’re talking about Hegseth.

He just wanted to break OPSEC in both directions.
In all things, a balance.
