Today, Congressman Shri Thanedar (MI-13) introduced articles of impeachment against Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, citing a sweeping abuse of power, flagrant violations of the Constitution, and acts of tyranny that undermine American democracy and threaten the rule of law.

“Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy,” said Rep. Thanedar. “His unlawful actions have subverted the justice system, violated the separation of powers, and placed personal power and self-interest above public service. We cannot wait for more damage to be done. Congress must act.”

The resolution includes seven articles of impeachment outlining a range of constitutional violations.

    We shouldn’t just blame the education system. It’s not that hard to talk to your kids about this at least a few times in 18 years.

    The mantra that it’s impolite to talk about politics has done enormous damage.

      You’re right. A lot of parents leave it all up to the schools. Education can build the foundation, sure but the real work, the real conversations, should happen at home. Teaching kids how to think, not just filling their heads with facts.

      The problem is, you’re lucky if there are even two parents around anymore. And if there are, most come home drained from work, staring down bills they still can’t pay. Conversations that matter just get lost in the exhaustion. Maybe I’m just grumpy in my older age, but it’s hard not to get cynical about it.
