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.
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. GOP-held Congress is gonna get anywhere with Impeachment, sure.
I mean it’s about all the Democrats in office can do but I’m sure you can find a better use of your time. Plant a tree, there’s one. Start a self-defense network for immigrants and queer folk in your area. I can go on…
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.
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?
