Pete Hegseth cuts the pension and strips Senator Mark Kelly of his military rank, because he — a democrat— had the audacity to disagree with the Trump regime.

Freedom of speech, ladies and gentlemen.

Freedom of speech.

@randahl this is the rope Pete H will hang himself with

ilka4you@mastodon.social

@randahl the most upsetting fact in this story is, those ppl have done nothing wrong, they reminded on the constitution and called for lawful behaviour. Why only Mark Kelly is picked on, is open for speculation.

The fact that Secretary of Ridiculousness Pete Kegseth is openly admitting lawful behaviour will be prosecuted & punished is showing the world what we are up to. We should build a front and stop them before WW3 breaks upon us.

ilka4you@mastodon.social

@thierry_van_kerm interesting idea. Let's hope you are right. @randahl

@randahl
I notice that Hegseth use Secretary of War in his profile while Kelly refers to him as Secretary of Defence.

@randahl T-E-R-R-O-R-I-S-T-S. This much is now apparent. The complicit individuals in congress are defying and toppling a once great democracy by doing nothing, having done nothing, and allowing 1 full year of this to continue. Beyond reasonable doubt. I want my nation back.

"Captain Kelly '28"

Yeah, that could work.

@randahl and more specifically, the rights and duties of the parliament members, which very importantly are outside any scope of the Administration, or the military.

@randahl
In contrast, Hegseth has ordered criminal acts. As has RFK jr, Vance and Trump. Others too.
The entire top tier of Trump administration should tried, after closure of the Supreme Court of USA, which is now not fit for purpose.

@randahl
A clear message has been sent to US military members, that maga does not have your back. I hope the members now act appropriately.

@randahl
Reminder: ‘Department of War’ and ‘Secretary of War’ are stupid, made-up titles that have no basis in fact or legality.

bob_zim@infosec.exchange

@hehemrin @randahl That’s because there is no “Secretary of War” position in the US government, and no “Department of War” for such a secretary to lead. Renaming the Department of Defense takes an act of Congress, which has not happened.

I personally think “Department of Defense” is euphemistic, and “Department of War” would be more honest, but that’s not how it’s currently named.

@randahl are you surprised or something? See the state funded employees and students organized to vote for Yanukovosh at gunpoint, called adminresurs!

helgi@101010.pl

@randahl but did they violate the 1st, like is there a law from the Congress that infringed on that senator's right to confront the POTUS? No! He has his right. And sec. Hegseth has authority, to cut his pension, such law exists I guess.

Why do I get the feeling any attorney is gonna reverse this?

@randahl Demigods,
2 bit grifters and snake oil salesmen have the corporate by their ass. Their insurrections, racketeering, regime changes and genocides have been normalised. All so they can increase their wealth with which to buy more power. Giving those crusty clowns and their spawn the right to steal and destroy the people’s resources by taking their taxes has expanded their creep show. They would die without their oligarchs and plutocrats finance together with their news and doublespeak. Otherwise the many could flourish and their wellbeing would be secure. Without the democratic representation of diverse interests they will get their Armageddon and their Apocalypse! #BenefitCheatBillionaires #PsychopathicNarcissists #Demigods #TheWarOnDemocracy #EcocideEmpire #CorporateSoveigntyIsEvil #WW3 #CowardsNotStrongMen #EmpiresTerror #SustainableRights #CapitalIsNotARight #FreedomIsARightForDiverseInterests #TheWarOnLifeAndFreedom #DRDI #TheFederation

@Helgi @randahl Don't fall for the old "It only violates the first amendment if Congress does it" canard. Decades of judicial precedent says that plenty of other actions by government entities can be violations of the first amendment outside of "a law from Congress".

helgi@101010.pl

@bishop6 @randahl so the senator said exactly that before having plans to sue the Department. Hegseth already played tricks with jammers for our F-16s that the US didn't even provide, then APKWS fuses he diverted, he deserves a good lawsuit against him!
