A few weeks ago, at the end of April, Michigan Congressman Shri Thanedar introduced articles to impeach President Trump.

              Again.

              Now we know that the Democrats in the House voted to impeach Trump in the first term not once, but twice. These attempts failed in the Senate. So maybe Rep. Thanedar figures third time’s the charm? Quoted in the Detroit News: “I want my constituents to know that I am not shy. I am not sitting on my hands. Constituents of Democrats are saying, why aren’t Democrats acting? Why are Democrats quiet? And why aren’t they doing things. My constituents are furious that nothing, not enough, has been done. … This is my answer to them.” Who is the Michigan congressman trying to impeach Trump?

              He even took out an ad on a freeway billboard in Detroit.

              The seven articles of impeachment accuse President Trump of abuse of power, bribery, corruption, and “tyranny.” Bah. We all know that the President’s real offense is the same as it ever was: Being Donald Trump.

              Rep. Thanedar’s colleagues aren’t as thrilled. They think it distracts from their own issue de jour: Trump’s stealing health care away from Americans and their 4 decades-old standby: taking away Seniors’ Social Security. Maybe getting a free plane from Qatar to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, that’s been on order since Obama days and Boeing can’t get it together to deliver.

              I dunno. I think Rep. Thanedar’s on to something. If Trump’s crime is Being Donald Trump, then he is clearly a recidivist; I mean he’s still Donald Trump. Maybe Rep. Thanedar could add:

Article 8: “Willfully and Knowingly Being Donald Trump.”

              Article 9: “Conspiracy To Be Donald Trump.”

              Article 10: “Being Donald Trump Across State Lines.”

              Article 11: “Failing To Desist In Being Donald Trump.”

The possibilities are endless.

              And what’s wrong with Impeaching Trump three times? Why not Impeach him Four Times? Or 23 Times? Thanedar should introduce a new Impeachment Resolution every day; maybe a couple. Then we can say Trump is the only President to have been impeached 798 times!

“Vote for me! I impeached Donald Trump 14 times!!”

“No, me!! I impeached him 37 times!”

              Okay, so not actually impeached. The Senate only voted for the Articles and had a trial once for Trump, who was acquitted. And according to the Constitution, Presidents should only be impeached and removed from office for “treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

              I don’t know what a “High Misdemeanor” is. I know Low Misdemeanors, like stealing pens and markers from the bank lobby. We’ve all done that. But is Being Donald Trump a misdemeanor? Besides in Democratic Party-controlled towns, I mean? Hard to say. But give Representative Thanedar credit! He’s working hard to advance the frontiers of jurisprudence. Because Rep. Thanedar has problems with a primary challenge in his Detroit district due to his own High Crime and Misdemeanor.

Shri Thanedar’s crime? Representing Detroit While Not Being Black.
