Donald Trump Impeachment Proceedings Launched
Newsweek ^ | 05/14/2025 | Khaleda Rahman

Posted on 05/14/2025 10:05:53 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Democratic Representative Shri Thanedar on Tuesday moved to force a House vote on his articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.

Thanedar took to the House floor on Tuesday afternoon to notice his seven articles of impeachment as privileged.

That means House Republican leaders have two legislative days to bring up the resolution. They are most likely to introduce a motion to table the resolution, which would effectively kill it.

Why It Matters

Thanedar introduced the articles of impeachment, which accuse Trump of offenses including obstruction of justice, bribery and corruption, and tyrannical overreach, last month.

However, few Democrats have voiced support for impeaching Trump since he returned to office in January since measures are unlikely to go anywhere with Republicans in control of both the House and Senate. Trump was impeached twice during his first term in office, but was acquitted by the Senate in both cases.

What To Know

On the House floor, Thanedar accused Trump of "committing crimes since Day One."

"Bribery, corruption, taking power from Congress, creating an unlawful office in DOGE, violating First Amendment rights, ignoring due process and finally, refusing to abide by a unanimous Supreme Court ruling," he said.

"Just as I stand here in the House of Representatives Mr. Trump is traveling to the Middle East to accept a gift worth $400 million from a foreign government."

He added: "I'm not concerned about whether this is the right time or if there are enough votes from my colleagues across the aisle. I rise today to do my duty and uphold my oath to protect the Constitution."

Thanedar's move angered House Democrats, with several telling Axios they believe his effort is aimed at securing support for himself as he faces primary challenges in his Detroit-area Congressional district.

He’s a heathen. Literally.

Adheres to a different set of values and morals. He is a member of a different civilization.

He should not be trusted or accepted by Western-Christian societies -which, he does not identify with.

Amen...this pissant is just jealous of what Trump has accomplished, knowing that in his home country, he is little more than crocodile bait that can’t even drive very well.

Shri Thanedar
Have you noticed in recent years so many democrats have names of characters who would feel at home in the Star Wars cantina scene?

This useless POS is just hoping to cash in on TDS. He spent a bunch of funds that he “lent” to his campaign, so every dollar this grifter raises can go straight into his personal accounts.

Isn’t it a bit premature to call this a launch?

Another trait that dems lack is SELF AWARENESS. These people have no clue how stupid they look and act. Even good Republicans: Rand Paul, comb your hair. Ted Cruz, shave your beard, your face look like a woman’s crotch.
