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.
Third time’s the charm?
There will not be an impeachment unless the gop cowards do something but they won’t.
I feel like we’ve been here before
We’ll be here again and again if he isn’t removed.
He’s not getting removed.
I don’t get why people aren’t understanding what’s happening. They are setting a precedent that they never want used back against them and are setting it up so they don’t have to worry about it, and there is no real opposition party anyway. This is it, the turning point where control by the people and representation has been effectively taken away.
I don’t get why people like you jump to conclusions about shit all the time. It is POSSIBLE he can be removed in several ways… impeachment isn’t likely sure, but he isn’t a healthy person, he’s old, he has mental health decline, and people hate him and keep trying to kill him… anything can happen.
I’m not saying don’t try, I just think it’s naive to expect it to do anything and screams a population who hasn’t grown up seeing their nation taken over by authoritarians and fascism, something that happened many times in other places that Americans don’t think could possibly impact them here because “those people were brown and dumb.”
That average people still expect their “representatives” to fix things is the naive part.
Nobody is coming. If we want democracy we have to make it happen, as individuals, as people on the ground.
Surely this time we will all get the satisfaction we pray for. Surely.
Good for him. Unfortunately the Republicans are all vile, complicit lock-step party brownshirts, so nothing whatsoever will come of this.
Good. They should keep doing this for everything he does illegally.
Even if it won’t amount to anything, we’re getting Republicans on the record as saying they support Trump.
Makes it tough for the inevitable “I didn’t side with Trump” statements we’ll hear when he is finally gone.
Cute
Anyway
If you want to just lay there and keep watching our country burn while doing nothing that’s your choice. I’ll keep doing what little I can to help those who are working on fighting this tyrant.
You haven’t gotten it yet, huh?
Congress is powerless. The Judicial is powerless.
This will do nothing but knock yourselves out, I’ve seen this show before.
Why not both? The amount of time and effort required for me to support a likely unsuccessful impeachment attempt is negligible, but it does make me feel just a smidge better.
As much as I hate it, I agree.
We all saw how far those two impeachments he got before went.He’s already a felon with immunity threatening to arrest the Supreme Court, the game is locked in
Better to focus on building networks in your communities that can do good here and now, you know?
Truth
imo, we have to fight on all fronts. While some may argue that it’s a waste of time, I believe the work for short term reform is still important. Even if the long-term goal is something more. While I hold a more revolutionary ideology, I’ve comrades who are doing what they can in the existing system.
On one hand, great! On the other, wonder if this is in response to justice democrats targeting him.

Michigan. Missouri is MO. If you listen to tech n9ne, remember the anthem KCMO.
Edit: whoosh. Didn’t get the joke. You want Mississippi if you want it to spell R (MS-13).

How long until MAGAs use “MI-13” as evidence of a link to MS-13? Taking bets.
Why? Did he commit high crimes and misdemeanors or something?
That’s like asking if Jack the Ripper hurt anybody
We tried this. Twice
If someone has their boot on your neck and you’ve failed to throw them off twice, would you not try a third time?
I’d try something else because it failed two times before.
Therefore the legislature should roll over, abdicate their responsibility, and succumb to tyranny!
They already have!!
Twice
Did she run that by Chuck Schumer and the DNC first?
Hooray!
I’ve never done this before but it’s actually time to call my congressman.
Why would an old man never have called their congress rep? Shame.
Rather than shame someone who is changing, maybe encourage it. It’s easier to get people on board the train if people are friendly rather than passing negative judgment.
Whenever I see an atrocious pretentious person it seems like a toss up between .ml or feddit. It’s weird
Nope sorry doing something good is actually bad now
I mean no, the time was probably years ago and then again months ago, but yes better late than never, please do.
Something something “the best time to plant a tree…” Yeah, it was needed then, but it’s needed now too.
…something something “watered with the blood of tyrants”…
Correct. That’s what I said
The totally free, and ad free, app called “5 Calls” will help you with that. It provides you their phone number, and a script. You can setup reminders to call daily, weekly, or I suppose monthly.
Won’t they catch on that you’re just reading from a script if enough people are using this app, and thus calling in and saying the same thing over and over again?
The fact that people are calling is what matters. It doesn’t matter if they are following a script. It’s a person that is taking their time to call in support/opposition to something.
^This. If you make the effort to call, you are very likely to vote in the next election. You won’t be able to talk to your representative directly but the aides will relay the volume of calls coming in to them.
Yeah representatives don’t rerally care if they get a thousand emails an hour 24/7, because that’s easy to do with bots. But if they have to constantly ignore calls or temporarily hire more people to handle the volume, they’ll take note. At least the better ones.
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.
There is no other motivation for any politician save for political motivation.
Regardless, its nice to see someone actually trying to do something.
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.
Just pure coincidence that they drafted this up on the same day. Almost like they know people aren’t interested in a politician who doesn’t represent them.
Wanna take bets that the challenger loses and the impeachment goes nowhere, so nothing happens to this seat?
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?
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?
Its never a waste to do the right thing.
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.
Force it into the record anyway
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)
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.
So you think they should just comply in advance?
Isn’t everything to do with a government politically motivated?
I think every single D should do it, all of them should have ALREADY condemned his high crimes. They’re cowards
