Democratic U.S Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan is calling for the impeachment of Trump over the case of the man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
Thanedar’s office said in a release Friday that the Trump administration’s “blatant disregard” for a U.S. Supreme Court ruling requiring they facilitate the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is a “direct defiance of the U.S. Constitution.”
“I’ve seen enough,” Thanedar said in a social media post on Thursday. “Trump is not abiding by a Supreme Court ruling. I fully support impeaching him. Now.”
Yes. I would say this falls in the “high crime or misdemeanor” category.
I call for Trump to be sent to prison in El Salvador but I’ll settle for him being removed from office
I’d settle for him being deported and ostracized from all countries.
It’d be very curious if there was literally no country on the planet that permitted him entry. I was about to say Russia, but he’s only been useful as a pawn in the US to them.
too bad that calling for it is just wishful thinking. maybe we should band together to DO the things we wish for.
They finally picked something from the pile to impeach him over? Not DOGE, not threatening to invade our neighbors, not the whipsawing of the market thanks to his tariff games, or any of the rest?
They need to pick something both the court and some gop will go for. Stripping power from Congress and the judiciary branches would normally seem like a slam dunk but here we are. They have to choose battles they have a chance of winning.
Yes, I’m sure the -already- twice impeached TurdNugget will deffo give up everything this time.
Maybe he’ll also insist that all the open and shut trials of the treason stuff he pulled last time will be rushed through to court as well!!
So let’s say…somehow…every Democrat gets on board finally with impeaching the Orange King. Do we really think enough Republicans are going to get on board with this to go through with impeaching and removing him?
Call me cynical, but after the crap that went down with the CR, I’m not seeing it and have zero faith in Congress as a whole to do anything of value to stop this hostile takeover and is/will be violating basic human rights for anyone who isn’t a white male.
Even if that happened, you’d just end up with Vance as president. If you somehow remove both Trump and Vance, you get Mike Johnson. The US has effectively no mechanism to force new elections - in Westminster style parliament, a majority ‘no’ vote on certain legislation (i.e. budget) immediately triggers dissolution of parliament and an election must happen. A party can also call a vote of no-confidence, which will do the same thing if it passes.
There’s also another “oh shit” button that can be pushed for those of us still beholden to the Crown, which is King Charles can mandate the dissolution of government unilaterally, which actually happened once in Australia.
What should the Democrats be doing then?
He had been impeached twice already and still got away. Because your representatives all work for him and the oligarchs!
At this point, the only way for Americans to actually rid themselves of oligarchs is to have a revolution.
Shit. Don’t tell them the truth.
FINALLY. Where the hell are the other Democrats?
Weren’t you going to put him in jail years ago when you still had your precious ‘democracy’?
That was all for tv viewership.
Let’s have one that sticks… Involving how he has ignored following anything in the Constitution
