The Democrats Failed in Their Attempt to Impeach Pete Hegseth, or Terminal Assholism Isn't Limited to Republicans.

The Democrats had stunning victories against the Republicans in the Mid-Term elections last week.

They retook both Houses of Congress, flipping seats that had been Republican strongholds for decades.

Frankly, it was a large-scale rejection of The Donald and Trumpism, with which MAGA extremists and 
Republican politicians are inextricably linked.

It was NOT an approval of the candidates the Democratic National Committee puked up at us.

Yet this victory clearly went to the Democrats' heads.

Despite the fact that the new Congress will not take place until January 3, 2027, they sought to entertain us with yet another attempted impeachment proceeding.

This time it was against The Donald's Secretary of Defense, who prefers to be called the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth is NOT unique in The Donald's cabinet.

A former television news personality, apart from his bellicose big mouth, he has no experience in government, let alone in high appointed national office.

A verbose bully, fond of misquoting the Bible and posing as a Christian, he has been regarded by many as personally responsible (after The Donald) for the failures of the war of aggression against Iran.

The Democrats made it clear after their stunning Mid-Term victory that they would impeach him and warned him, and others to "lawyer up."

Unfortunately, the Democrats are like the Bourbon kings of France who were returned to the throne after the Napoleonic era.

They forgot nothing and learned nothing.

In short, they are suffering from terminal assholism, just like a good many Republicans.

The Democrats forgot that they don't control Congress yet, which means that any of their attempts to impeach anyone in the Trump regime will meet with defeat.

Which is exactly what happened as the Republican majority in the House rallied around one of their own, whether they liked Hegseth or not.

They did it primarily to piss off the Democrats.

It worked, and now the Democrats are whining.

Admittedly, Hegseth needs to be removed from office, as should a good many of the Trump regime.

The Democrats should have waited until they control Congress in two months' time, where they would have been assured of success at least in the House.

But, heady with their success at the Mid-Terms, terminal assholism overrode their judgment.

Did they really think that enough Republicans would jump aboard to effectively initiate the impeachment process against Hegseth, knowing that they couldn't do it without the support of some Republican representatives?

Apparently, they did.

They accomplished nothing other than to prove their own rashness and stupidity.

And the Republicans?

They voted to keep an obviously unsuitable Secretary of Defense in office.

Both parties clearly suffer from terminal assholism, not just the Republicans.

This is what the American voter gets to choose from.
