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.

      Therefore the legislature should roll over, abdicate their responsibility, and succumb to tyranny!

      If someone has their boot on your neck and you’ve failed to throw them off twice, would you not try a third time?

        It’s more like the two previous attempts to remove the boot have involved throwing dandelions at it. Somehow, I don’t think a third tossing of dandelions is going to make a difference. This isn’t saying to stop trying to get the boot off your neck, but there comes a point where you must acknowledge that your methods aren’t going to work and it is, in fact, wasted effort to keep trying without changing anything.
