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.

    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.
