Democratic U.S Rep. Shri Thanedar of Michigan is calling for the impeachment of Trump over the case of the man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador.
Thanedar’s office said in a release Friday that the Trump administration’s “blatant disregard” for a U.S. Supreme Court ruling requiring they facilitate the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is a “direct defiance of the U.S. Constitution.”
“I’ve seen enough,” Thanedar said in a social media post on Thursday. “Trump is not abiding by a Supreme Court ruling. I fully support impeaching him. Now.”
it’s worth doing just to tie the admin up for a bit and send trump golfing for a week
Even before the supreme court he has been ignoring law with flimsy “logic” on why he can do it. Ignoring congressional laws and court orders are more than enough reason.
Yes, I’m sure the -already- twice impeached TurdNugget will deffo give up everything this time.
Maybe he’ll also insist that all the open and shut trials of the treason stuff he pulled last time will be rushed through to court as well!!
I call for Trump to be sent to prison in El Salvador but I’ll settle for him being removed from office
I don’t think we should create arbitrary punishments for him. He is subject to due process and the maximum punishment prescribed by law. Just the same as anyone else in this country.
Charge his ass with Treason and give him the maximum punishment.
I’d settle for him being deported and ostracized from all countries.
I hear Antarctica is warming up, we can send him there.
They already have enough of a rape problem…
too bad that calling for it is just wishful thinking. maybe we should band together to DO the things we wish for.
Let’s have one that sticks… Involving how he has ignored following anything in the Constitution
They finally picked something from the pile to impeach him over? Not DOGE, not threatening to invade our neighbors, not the whipsawing of the market thanks to his tariff games, or any of the rest?
They need to pick something both the court and some gop will go for. Stripping power from Congress and the judiciary branches would normally seem like a slam dunk but here we are. They have to choose battles they have a chance of winning.
So let’s say…somehow…every Democrat gets on board finally with impeaching the Orange King. Do we really think enough Republicans are going to get on board with this to go through with impeaching and removing him?
Call me cynical, but after the crap that went down with the CR, I’m not seeing it and have zero faith in Congress as a whole to do anything of value to stop this hostile takeover and is/will be violating basic human rights for anyone who isn’t a white male.
Even if that happened, you’d just end up with Vance as president. If you somehow remove both Trump and Vance, you get Mike Johnson. The US has effectively no mechanism to force new elections - in Westminster style parliament, a majority ‘no’ vote on certain legislation (i.e. budget) immediately triggers dissolution of parliament and an election must happen. A party can also call a vote of no-confidence, which will do the same thing if it passes.
There’s also another “oh shit” button that can be pushed for those of us still beholden to the Crown, which is King Charles can mandate the dissolution of government unilaterally, which actually happened once in Australia.
Politicians try to stay at the head of the parade. They only go where we force them to go. Are you going to give up already? Cuz that’s exactly what the fascists would prefer.
Yes. I would say this falls in the “high crime or misdemeanor” category.
Not only that, it’s entirely unprofessional for official statement to be this childish fuckery. In my entire lifetime, I’ve not seen anything more unprofessional than this to be jeeted out in the world by official government account. Never.
Oh the other hand, we’ve seen what happens when regimes get “professional” about sending undesirables to death camps.
This admin is a joke and an embarrassment. It would be hilarious if it weren’t so terrifying.
I keep wondering why should I or anyone else have to learn to behave professionally when you can behave like Trump and be given one of the most important jobs in the world
if we want to retain our norms, then we need to establish a norm that assures that such callousness and cruelty is sure to trigger being drug into the streets
It‘s because you serve the silo.
Even the onion wouldn’t dare to joke about such hatred and cruelty. Absolutely sickening administration
That’s because you have to have a sense of humour to joke.
This administration isn’t joking. They just have a high enough ladder to have everyone see how blatantly racist and disgusting they are
What the actual fuck
It seems that the Supreme Court agrees (except Alito and Thomas of course).
I mean generally agrees; let’s see what follows.
However horrible these past months have been, they certainly havn’t been boring.
FINALLY. Where the hell are the other Democrats?
Impeach the entire admin before the people get ahold of them.
For their own protection.
Before we start buying kits that assemble together: a large blade, two tall posts, some rope, and a basket. Of course the actual apparatus will need more support beams and other accessories but you get the idea.
That’s a lot of work when a bullet will do.
True, but I can’t help but picture the impact politicians and billionaires would feel seeing their kind being handled like that.
oh, if you want to establish an effective visual that will serve as a long-lasting reminder to future ambitious sociopaths, film one of these sub-humans getting fed feet first into a chipper shredder and make it mandatory viewing.
He’s already been impeached. Twice.
Third time is the charm
Is that where the orange colour comes from?
Thank you.
