Washington — Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan backed down from his attempt to force a vote on impeaching President Trump after it lacked support from his own party.
The House was expected to vote Wednesday evening to table Thanedar's motion to impeach Mr. Trump for alleged high crimes and misdemeanors, which would have effectively killed it.
Thanedar filed his seven articles of impeachment against Mr. Trump in April, but moved Tuesday to bring it up as "privileged," requiring the House to act on the motion within two legislative days. But Thanedar changed course by Wednesday afternoon after having conversations with his colleagues.
"Instead, I will add to my articles of impeachment and continue to rally the support of both Democrats and Republicans to defend the Constitution with me," he wrote, adding that he will "continue to pursue all avenues to put this President on notice and hold him accountable for his many impeachable crimes."

What, so the Democrats are good with having Hitler as president?

If Stalin had run against Trump in 2024, most of the Dems would have voted Stalin. I believe that.
Someone said earlier that this guy is drowning in debt to the tune of $800K. As predictable as this outcome always was, I’d say the dude’s so desperate for cash that he’s hoping that this charade might get him some liberal dough to save his arse.
He sounds like Tish James.
Maybe the Dems don’t want their next attempt at impeaching Trump to be lead by this guy. He may be too new to the Gang to understand what his true motives are. Other Dems may be waiting in line to use this as their Soapbox, but not now, at the beginning of a Lazy Summer, maybe closer to the Mid-Terms.
Al (Cave-Man-w/a CrookedCane) Green is distracting/ embarrassing enough!
“… Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan…”
No, he’s NOT “of Michigan”.
He’s a foreigner and has ZERO business being ANY position of any authority over Americans.
if this thing had gone to a floor vote, it would have split the Dem party in half ... both bad ...
this idiot would have been personally responsible for that split, and lord only knows the nature and degree of pressure put on this bozo to withdraw his impeachment resolution ...
too bad, though, that the Dems managed to punt on this one ...
Stop giving this low-life coverage.
Just sub ‘political’ for national.
The phrase “patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel” is famously attributed to Samuel Johnson. It’s a cynical observation that suggests individuals who are otherwise lacking in merit may try to hide their failings by appealing to a sense of national pride. The quote gained popularity because it highlights how politicians and others might use patriotism as a tool to mask their self-serving actions.
This guy is a turd.
Investigate this guy and deport him. Nobody with a foreign accent should be in Congress.
No. They told him to STFU. Midterms are coming.
My gaydar went off the first time I saw a picture of that fool.
Don't let your personal feelings make you appear stupid.
Like it or not, he became a US citizen in 1988......
Do you harbor the same feelings towards Elon Musk, or are you just being a typical hypocrite?
C’mon, Thanedar. Whatsamatter? You chicken? Boqboqboqboq. I’m flapping my arms at chicken Thanedar.
RE: Deport him
Don’t forget to update me here if the agents bend him at the waist and have the prison barber shave his ugly hair off like the others as he hops 10 inches at a time in leg irons and chains.
Great TV.
RE: Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan
Correction: Thanedar infesting Michigan.
Just like he pests tagging a ride in firewood in the state:
woodboring beetles like the emerald ash borer, Asian longhorned beetle, and powderpost beetles, carpenter ants, and other insects like horntails and adelgids.
Now we have Shri Thanedar infestation.
What AN ABSOLUTE CLOWN !!!!
I think if they bend him over, the hair would slide off by itself.
