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.
On one hand, great! On the other, wonder if this is in response to justice democrats targeting him.

Hmm we’re preparing for 8 impeachments this term.
This makes me realize I really want Missouri to have 13 Congressional districts and I really want the person holding that position to be republican.
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).
Hasn’t this happened already? I could swear I’ve seen another article or two a while back saying someone was doing this same thing.
FINALLY.
I get the point but this will just result in a “official act” response and a hand wave.
I’ve never done this before but it’s actually time to call my congressman.
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.
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”…
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
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.
I think every single D should do it, all of them should have ALREADY condemned his high crimes. They’re cowards
Isn’t everything to do with a government politically motivated?
So you think they should just comply in advance?
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.
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)
Its never a waste to do the right thing.
Force it into the record anyway
Even if a republican would do this, the Magats would claim it’s a secret democrat.
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.
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.
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.
Hooray!
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
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.
How long until MAGAs use “MI-13” as evidence of a link to MS-13? Taking bets.
Did she run that by Chuck Schumer and the DNC first?
Why? Did he commit high crimes and misdemeanors or something?
That’s like asking if Jack the Ripper hurt anybody
Thank You, Congressman Thanedar.
