So if you haven't heard, Republican House leader 'MAGA Mike' Johnson dismissed congress and sent them home until after the midterm elections are over, even though this lazy ass, do nothing Republican-led congress has only worked 70 some days this year so far.
The reason MAGA Mike sent everyone home is because of this:

"A Republican congressman accused Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of committing more illegal acts than anyone else in the administration, after Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) called off Thursday's impeachment vote of the cabinet official.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) delivered the speech on the House floor Wednesday, one day after he introduced eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth.
Johnson announced earlier Wednesday that he was sending members home for a seven-week campaign recess, a decision that pushes any impeachment vote past the November midterm elections, CNN reported."
Not only has Kegseth blown $40 billion in us taxpayer money in his, Don's, and Bibi's 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure,' and precariously depleted U.S. military offensive and defensive weapons inventories, he has also been covering up the true cost of this Iran boodoggle to the American people in deployed assets and American military personnel:

"New photos obtained exclusively by CBS News reveal for the first time the widespread damage and destruction of buildings and vehicles at multiple U.S. positions across the Middle East, as a result of Iranian missile and drone attacks.
The images were sent to CBS News by active service members on condition of anonymity because of rigid media restrictions within the military.
"This is major damage to our bases that hasn't been communicated to the American public," one deployed service member told CBS News. "We're standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face.""
What I have been reading is that Iran has essentially blown up and rendered unusable a sizable percentage of the military installations that America has (or, had?) in the Persian Gulf region, and that Americans haven't been told about so much as a fraction of the truth as to the actual cost of those military assets that Iran has put out of commission in Don and Bibi's 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure.'
Additionally, I have also read reports that American military troop casualties have gone over the 900 mark and that Kegseth and his lackeys are keeping purposely silent about that as well.
It's all so odd though because Kegseth and his Putin-fellating boss have told us, no, boasted about on MULTIPLE occasions over the past seven months of this war that was supposed to be over in two or three weeks, that Donald and Pete had literally defeated Iran, had destroyed their nuke capabilities, destroyed their military, gained military control of the Strait of Homuz, and that America had 'won' the war.
So how did the all of these US military bases and all of these assets get bombed to smithereens, and apparently are still getting pulverized with all of this 'winning' that Drumpf and Pete are telling us is occurring?
And how did we arrive at nearly 20 dead and 900 troop casualties if we 'won' this war six months ago?
Because Pistol Pete Kegseth is covering up his colossal incompetence would be my guess.
And that brings us back to scorned Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie and his impeachment resolution.
Massie kept his Hegseth impeachment resolution under wraps and sprung it on his House Republican colleagues without any advance warning.
Immediately, in response, 'MAGA Mike' Johnson shuts down the House and sends everyone home until AFTER the midterm elections in November.
That tells me a couple of things.
The most obvious is that it's clear that the Democrats have corralled enough GOP cross-over votes to impeach and remove that little bohemian Private First Class drunkard and incompetent Fox "news" chud posing as a military leader, Pete Hegseth, from office. If 'MAGA Mike' was certain that he had the votes to defeat Massie's resolution, he would just let it come to the floor now and be done with it.
Secondly, and not so clear, but not out of the realm of possibility either, is that 'MAGA Mike' is feeling a bold level of confidence in waiting until after the midterms perhaps because he has first-hand knowledge of the Drumpf/MAGA plot to ratfuck these elections so that it's ensured that Trumpublicans retain control of congress, thus making an impeachment of Hegseth a moot effort. I would not put such a scenario beyond these thugs.
