40. Every Democratic member...

Thu May 15, 2025, 07:54 AM

Thursday

in Congress should be initiating their own individual articles of impeachment against Trump. Its their duty. After all Trump is a criminal. If all 213 Democratic members are all initiating articles of impeachment against Trump the only time wasted will be by the other 220 Republican members fighting the numerous Trump impeachment efforts.

Claiming impeachment efforts will "waste time" and divert energy away from other positive Democratic initiatives is a joke. The crackpot Republicans will block everything good for the average citizen in any case.

Democratic Congressional members pretending that everything is business as usual while the house burns down around is the actual waste of time. Attempts to dethrone a criminal wannabe King is a worthy use of their time and their Constitutional duty.

Do the damn job we sent you to Congress to do!
