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...

Seriously, these idiots are going down this road again? Wasting tax dollars, dividing the country. I really hope people reject this “bigley “ Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) on Tuesday started the clock for the House to vote on his seven articles of impeachment against President Trump. Why it matters: House Republicans will likely move to table — or kill — the Thanedar's motion, forcing Democrats into a tough position on a vote many of them would rather not take. Thanedar's move forces the House to take action by the end of the week, unless he withdraws his motion. Spokespeople for...

Peru has a female president for the first time, after ex-president Pedro Castillo was impeached - hours after he tried to dissolve parliament. Dina Boluarte - previously the vice-president - was sworn in after a dramatic day in Lima on Wednesday. Earlier in the day, Mr Castillo had said he was replacing Congress with an "exceptional emergency government". But lawmakers ignored this, and in an emergency meeting impeached him. He was then detained and accused of rebellion. Ms Boluarte, a 60-year-old lawyer, said she would govern until July 2026, which is when Mr Castillo's presidency would have ended. Speaking after...

Peruvian President Dina Boluarte announced on Sunday that she would soon present two proposals: to hold presidential elections this year, rather than in 2026 as planned, and “total” constitutional reform. Boluarte vowed to make the changes if the nation’s Congress failed to pass the measures. The latter, a core demand of far-left rioters whose violence has resulted in 58 deaths and counting, would essentially result in a complete overhaul of Peru’s constitution. Leftists have been rioting in the country for nearly two months, erecting roadblocks to cut food supplies and burning down historic buildings, following the impeachment and arrest of...

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton said Monday on MSNBC’s “Ana Cabrera Reports” that if President Donald Trump attempted to take control of Greenland with military force, it “would provoke an impeachment crisis almost immediately.” On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Trump downplayed the likelihood but did not completely rule it out. He said, “I don’t say I’m going to do it, but I don’t rule out anything. No, not there, you need that. We need Greenland very badly. Greenland is a very small amount of people which will take care of and will cherish them and all of that, but...

The Libertarian Party of Travis County in Texas is calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, citing alleged constitutional violations and the administration’s handling of due process for U.S. residents.

Investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger says that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the CIA and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) helped orchestrate President Trump’s 2019 impeachment. In an interview on Fox News, Shellenberger recounted how the impeachment case was brought about based on the word of a CIA analyst, left over from the Obama administration, who claimed to have heard from White House staff that Trump had pressured Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, in a phone call, to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden. Shellenberger said that a memo written by that analyst, which served as the...

Saul Alinsky, in his Rules for Radicals, warned that “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Democrats would do well to heed that advice when it comes to Donald Trump. Having unsuccessfully tried twice to impeach him, they’re still invested in impeachment. Just the other day, Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff told a town hall crowd that Trump “has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment” because of his meme coin contest. Of course, all candidates now offer contests, and Trump hasn’t yet sold access to the Lincoln bedroom, but none of that matters to Democrats. Rep. Shri...

A Michigan representative has filed articles of impeachment against President Trump. His name is Shri Thanedar, and he represents Michigan’s 13th Congressional District. Rep. Thanedar claims he filed the articles over so-called “acts of tyranny that undermine American democracy.” Here’s a copy of the document: You’ve likely never even heard of this representative. Many wonder if the good people of Michigan’s 13th District even know who he is. One thing is certain — based on what we’ve seen, he doesn’t exactly come off as a brilliant mind. Dinesh D’Souza even pointed out that in India, a man like Thanedar would...

A trio of House Democrats asked to be removed as co-sponsors of a resolution to impeach President Trump, a sign that many in the party do not want to go down the path of trying to remove the president from office — at least at the current moment. Reps. Kweisi Mfume (Md.), Robin Kelly (Ill.) and Jerry Nadler (N.Y.) had signed on as co-sponsors of Rep. Shri Thanedar’s (D-Mich.) impeachment resolution — which includes seven articles of impeachment — but Tuesday afternoon, they went to the House floor and asked for their names to be taken off the legislation. The...

President Donald Trump dropped a late-night truth bomb on Truth Social, absolutely obliterating the radical Left’s latest impeachment obsession — and warning Republicans it’s time to start playing offense.In a fiery post just before midnight, Trump called out the Democrat Party for spiraling into chaos and weaponizing impeachment once again — this time without even pretending to have a reason.Trump revealed that two little-known Democrat congressmen have already started whispering about impeachment — without even being able to say why.

The Democrat sponsor of an unprecedented third impeachment attempt of President Donald Trump has a big problem – his own party. Just when liberals finally felt like they were gaining some political momentum after sweeping Republican victories last November, any progress may have already been washed away. On April 28, Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) officially introduced articles of impeachment against Trump, instantly sending the Washington media into a frenzy and the House Democrat caucus into chaos. While Democrats’ first two impeachment cases were thin, bordering on nonexistent, they at least revolved around specific allegations against Trump. This time, however, Thanedar...

Another radical-left Democrat has contracted a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and is proposing a hopeless strategy in response. And the Trump White House has taken notice. On Monday, Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI), a native of India, flew back into DC after yet another unwarranted congressional vacation and decided to file a whopping SEVEN articles of impeachment against President Trump. And unsurprisingly, the catalyst for Thanedar filing articles of impeachment was Trump daring to deport a dangerous MS-13 gangster and alleged wife-beater. “Trump has already done real damage to our democracy,” Thandedar whined. “But defying a unanimous 9-0...

On Sunday, during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) did not rule out impeaching President Donald Trump if Democrats take control of Congress. Host Dana Bash said, “Your colleague from Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff told voters at a town hall that he strongly agrees that President Trump should be impeached. Do you agree with him? Would that be a priority if Democrats were to take back Congress?”

Sullivan, the chairman of the conference’s Committee on Judicial Security, raised a scenario that weeks before would have...
