Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
 

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.

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.

I get the point but this will just result in a “official act” response and a hand wave.

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

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.

There is no other motivation for any politician save for political motivation.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

Gotta start removing more Republicans from power, too. Use that 14th amendment to clear most of them out.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago

Even if a republican would do this, the Magats would claim it’s a secret democrat.

How long until MAGAs use "MI-13" as evidence of a link to MS-13? Taking bets.

Thank You, Congressman Thanedar.

Did she run that by Chuck Schumer and the DNC first?

This makes me realize I really want Mississippi to have 13 Congressional districts and I really want the person holding that position to be republican.
