Outgoing Republican Congressman Thomas Massie was the only Republican to oppose shelving his resolution to impeach US War Secretary Pete Hegseth over the war with Iran and other military operations.
Massie said Hegseth had been “effective at breaking the law and violating the Constitution,” accusing him of carrying out military action without congressional approval.
The House voted 211–204 to send the resolution to committee, effectively killing it. Hegseth called it a “farce” and “a stunt,” while US President Donald Trump called Massie “a total loser”.
Massie will leave Congress in January after losing the Republican primary to a Trump-backed candidate.

US politics are a forest of creeping, toxic weeds, that climb and smother anything of worth and value. Sorry Mr Massie your basic decency wont find a home, in US politics. Like NZ, its irredeemably corrupt. Small wonder there was such a nominal turn out this election. New Zealanders realize, its a dirty game, played at their expense.
Massie is an obnoxious opportunistic dork, on his way out the door and just looking to drum up PR for his next election campaign. Everyone knew his stunt would fail, he just wanted to be able to say “I was the one who stood up to Hegseth and Trump🥴”.
Piss off.
The guy will spend the next few years selling books and making money off campaigning and making promises, and the next time he’s in government will go
Right back to doing nothing about his constituents’ grievances. He’s every bit as much of a lowlife as Trump and Hegseth.
If the Dems were to prove the illegality of Americas criminal activities in the middle east they would expose and have to confront the Zionist component of US /world society. This will never happen whichever political front is in place so they’ll have to find some of the usual “victims” of moral outrage (kiddy fiddling is a popular one at the moment ) .There were enough international laws broken in Venezuela to get the job done. but they’re not going to wind that back either……cant break a deal
What happened in the middle east was not illegal. Shitty, yes. Unjustified, perhaps. But not illegal. There is no such thing as “international law” because there is no one world government, no matter how badly the elites want to make it so. Any country can attack any other country, whoever is stronger wins. Might makes right, hate it all you want but it’s the story of human history. To be clear, I’m not justifying anything the Americans have done, I’m just saying that calling it “illegal” is a misnomer.
And BTW the dems profit just as much off of war as the republicans do (take a look at Obama’s time in office if you dont believe me). They aren’t going to stop any wars, they arent going to take Elon “down” (since they would lose literally billions in war tech). All they will do is call him to congress and shake their fists while they record their soundbites: “Congresswoman Mustafa DESTROYS Elon Musk!!”.
Yawn.
And all the kiddy fiddling stuff is going to inexplicably die down again now that it’s politically inconvenient since most of Epstein’s buddies were actually Dems. Mark my words, you won’t hear another Democrat say the word “Epstein” ever again.
All they’re going to focus on now is impeachments, anti-white hatred, opening the borders back up, LGBT insanity and censorship. Basically getting back in the race against Canada and the UK to see who can collapse their society the fastest.
