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.

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.

    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.

    Just pure coincidence that they drafted this up on the same day. Almost like they know people aren't interested in a politician who doesn't represent them.

    Wanna take bets that the challenger loses and the impeachment goes nowhere, so nothing happens to this seat?

    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.

    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
