Trump administration 2024-2028

Some of those articles are also dangerous for many people down the chain. Kidnapping and extra-judicial killings (whether murder or war crime) do not excuse anyone down the chain of command that ordered and then executed it just because the original high-up who first ordered it is found guilty. If it sticks to Hegseth, then the JAG and criminal investigation services of the military would see it as cases to be investigated and prosecuted through the chain of command.

Massie is also one of the few that is actually a strictly constitutional Republican that actually believes in it and has principles. And the balls to call out Trunpian populists.

I enjoyed his Press Conference right after the filing:

There isn't exactly a shortage of constitutionalists in the Republican party, and plenty in the Republican caucus, but most of them take setbacks gracefully. That's part of what people miss about the old comity-and-decorum Republicans. Massie starts acting like a mini-Trump, and that's good?

I have maintained for years that the deterioration of behaviour among conservatives was an inevitable reaction to decades of Charlie Brown football politics and generally obnoxious behaviour from progressives, progressives having moved on from mere incivility to assassination porn and whatnot for several years now. Most people on this site thought it was objectionable - two wrongs not making a right, etc. I guess that fence is toppling and its OK to cheer that kind of stuff on; the measure of deplorability is its political valence. I've maintained, also for years, that a faction can't be permitted to reap political advantage indefinitely from bad behaviour; game theorists call the strategy tit-for-tat. Good to see more people leaning toward recognizing this.
