    While I can appreciate that, someone finally made this call publicly, calling for a president who has been committing hundreds of felonies every day that he has been president to finally be impeached?

    That takes no courage at all. Finally, at long last, someone has finally stood up and called for the most criminally corrupt president to finally be impeached. That takes no courage at all.

    It is, in fact, a great matter of shame that it did not happen on day one, and every day since.

      It takes no courage to effectively end your career? Give me a break. This guy isn’t some random on tiktok, Hegseth will almost certainly punish him for this.

        More than career ending.

        UCMJ Article 88 (Contempt toward officials)

        • Prohibits using “contemptuous words” against the President, Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, military department secretaries, governors, and certain other officials.
        • Maximum punishment can include dismissal from the service, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for up to one year.

        Add that Trump will probably try to call it Treason.

        Yeah, not brave at all. People that talk shit online don’t have a clue what they are talking about.

        Because the moron just said that someone speaking out, when they are almost assured to go to prison for it, has no courage.

        Because he’s talking like NOBODY has ever called for Trump’s impeachment before, when we’ve already impeached him TWICE. The only reason they don’t impeach him every day is because it’s pointless without a conviction. Do you want to be like the useless Republican Congress that tried to vote out Obamacare 157 times?

        I’m glad the guy is taking this brave stand, but he’s one of MANY saying these things, he’s not the first, and he won’t be the last. It was the drama of who he is, that was the story, not what he said.
