Today, Congressman Shri Thanedar (MI-13) introduced articles of impeachment against Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, citing a sweeping abuse of power, flagrant violations of the Constitution, and acts of tyranny that undermine American democracy and threaten the rule of law.
“Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy,” said Rep. Thanedar. “His unlawful actions have subverted the justice system, violated the separation of powers, and placed personal power and self-interest above public service. We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act.”
The resolution includes seven articles of impeachment outlining a range of constitutional violations.
It’s a waste for a D to bring Impeachment charges. Unless Rs do it, it will never pass and will always seem politically motivated.
Its never a waste to do the right thing.
So you think they should just comply in advance?
Isn’t everything to do with a government politically motivated?
Regardless, its nice to see someone actually trying to do something.
My house is on fire, but I’m standing on the sidewalk spitting at it. At least I’m “actually trying to do something”, right?
Weird how they only did it today when a primary challenger announced they were running.
They could have done this anytime before today but waited until their seat was at stake.
Impeachments of Donald Trump are security theater at this point.
You’re right, let’s give up and do nothing.
That’s a cool false dichotomy you’ve got there.
Look unless you are holding out on a bag of unused monkey paws this is all we have to work with.
Did you sleep through history class?
Force it into the record anyway
What does it waste? Every Republican, moderate, and undecided gets to see who actually wants impeachment. No stepping around it we’ll know who could have ended this and voted to keep him. what can a Democrat do that isn’t going to look politically motivated? Defeatist arguments are exactly what trump needs to become emperor
Johnson can just table it without a vote. You’re not gonna get anyone on record with it.
I think every single D should do it, all of them should have ALREADY condemned his high crimes. They’re cowards
Of course it’s politically motivated, trump is a shit political leader.
He’s done exactly 2 things I agree with, kill the useless penny, and say he’ll pass a “congress can’t trade stocks” law.
Kill the nickle and dime while we’re at it. (CGP Gray fan)
There is no other motivation for any politician save for political motivation.
Gotta start removing more Republicans from power, too. Use that 14th amendment to clear most of them out.
Even if a republican would do this, the Magats would claim it’s a secret democrat.
