It’s almost impressive, isn’t it? Just when you think Democrats might focus on issues everyday Americans care about – like maybe securing the border or keeping the economy humming – they find a new way to shoot themselves squarely in the foot. They seem allergic to acknowledging the common-sense policies President Trump champions, policies that actually resonate with voters outside their coastal bubbles. It’s a bold strategy, let’s see if it pays off for them.
Honestly, you have to wonder if they enjoy reminding people why they keep losing ground. While most Americans are worried about inflation or the chaos at the border, the Democrat playbook seems stuck on repeat: attack Trump, consequences be damned. But hold on to your hats, because one Democrat representative has just taken this performance art to a whole new level of absurdity.
You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
Enter Rep. Shri Thanedar, a Democrat from Michigan, who apparently woke up this week and decided the most pressing issue facing the nation was… another impeachment attempt against Donald Trump. Yes, really. He proudly announced he has filed seven articles of impeachment, marking the first formal attempt from a House Democrat this term. His reasoning? Well, brace yourselves.
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) announced this week that he has officially filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, accusing him of serious abuses of power. This marks the first formal impeachment move from a House Democrat this year…
“Donald Trump has already done real damage to our democracy. It’s time we impeach Donald J Trump. The courts say the wrongfully deported Kilmar Garcia must be returned and receive due process. Trump ignored it, he ignored the Constitution, he ignored the very checks and balances that keep our democracy intact.”
Thanedar went on to outline charges ranging from obstruction of justice and abuse of power to violations of the First Amendment and even “political overreach.” It seems they just threw everything at the wall, hoping something, anything, might stick. The focus on a specific deportation case as the primary justification feels particularly flimsy, more like a pretext for political grandstanding than a serious constitutional crisis.
A Masterclass in Pointlessness
But here’s the kicker, the part that makes this whole exercise utterly pointless political theater: Republicans control both the House and the Senate. As even Axios pointed out (via The Post Millennial), these measures are “almost certainly going nowhere.” So, what’s the goal? It’s certainly not removing Trump from office – that’s impossible right now. It seems purely designed to rile up their base and generate headlines, regardless of the political reality.
You’d think they’d learn after the previous impeachment fiascos achieved nothing but galvanizing Trump supporters. Apparently not. Thanedar isn’t entirely alone in this echo chamber, either. Rep. Al Green is reportedly planning his own articles, and Rep. Ilhan Omar has apparently mulled impeaching key members of Trump’s national security team. It’s a recurring obsession for some on the left, completely divorced from the priorities of working Americans.
While President Trump and his team focus on rebuilding America, securing our interests, and undoing the damage of the previous administration, people like Thanedar are busy tilting at windmills. It’s just another reminder of how out of touch some Democrats truly are, prioritizing partisan vendettas over productive governance.
Key Takeaways:
- Rep. Thanedar filed 7 purely symbolic impeachment articles against President Trump.
- Effort is doomed to fail due to GOP control of Congress.
- Highlights Democrat focus on partisan attacks over pressing American issues.
