Here We Go Again: Impeachment 3.0
The ink on Trump’s second presidential oath has barely dried, but Democrats are already dusting off their favorite political weapon. Michigan Democrat Shri Thanedar announced seven articles of impeachment against President Trump on April 28, proving that some politicians would rather repeat failed strategies than develop actual solutions for American problems. This performative political theater comes as border communities are overrun with illegal immigrants, inflation continues to crush working families, and international crises escalate – but apparently, none of those issues merit as much Democratic attention as removing the man Americans just voted into office.
Thanedar, who has served in Congress for all of 15 months, apparently believes he knows better than the American electorate. His impeachment charges read like a progressive wish list of grievances, including “Obstruction of Justice,” “Abuse of Trade Powers,” “Violation of First Amendment Rights,” and the laughably vague “Tyrannical Overreach.” If we applied these nebulous standards to most politicians in Washington, we’d need to impeach half of Congress and every president since George Washington. But consistency has never been the Democrats’ strong suit when it comes to constitutional interpretations.
Political Theatre of the Absurd
The announcement video itself was so poorly executed that it drew comparisons to a Saturday Night Live skit. Standing in front of what appeared to be a hastily arranged backdrop with a tiny American flag, Thanedar delivered his impeachment proclamation with all the gravitas of a high school student running for class president. Even fellow Democrats cringed. The delivery was so awkward that it’s spawned its own collection of internet memes – perhaps the only lasting contribution this impeachment effort will make to American politics.
The irony is thicker than molasses. A Democrat accusing Trump of being a “clear and present danger” to democracy after the American people democratically elected him twice is the kind of cognitive dissonance that has become the left’s calling card. Perhaps Thanedar doesn’t understand that in a constitutional republic, voters decide who’s fit for office – not politicians who disagree with the outcome. But then again, respecting election results has become optional for Democrats who don’t get their way.
Even Democrats Are Rolling Their Eyes
The most telling aspect of this impeachment charade is how quickly Democratic leadership distanced themselves from it. Representative Peter Aguilar dismissed questions about it with a curt “I haven’t seen it.” Senator Ruben Gallego practically rolled his eyes, saying Democrats should focus on winning elections instead. Translation: “This is political suicide, and we know it.” When your own party leadership won’t touch your impeachment effort with a ten-foot pole, perhaps it’s time to reconsider your strategy.
“Every action taken by President Trump and his administration is fully lawful and firmly rooted in the will of the American people. President Trump is doing exactly what he promised: securing our border, bringing in trillions of dollars in investment to America, and restoring common sense leadership.” – White House spokesperson Liz Huston
The White House response perfectly encapsulates the fundamental divide in American politics today. While Democrats obsess over removing a duly elected president, Trump’s administration is focused on delivering results on the issues Americans actually care about: border security, economic opportunity, and restoring sanity to government. One side is fixated on political vendettas; the other is working to solve problems. And Americans are taking notice of who’s actually addressing their concerns versus who’s wasting time on political theatrics.
A Party Without Ideas
This impeachment stunt highlights the Democrats’ fundamental problem: they’re out of ideas and still can’t accept that their policies have failed. Rather than developing an actual platform that appeals to Americans, they’ve devoted themselves to the cult of anti-Trumpism. They offer no solutions for the border crisis they created, no plan to combat the inflation their spending caused, and no vision for American prosperity beyond more government control. Instead, they resort to the same tired playbook: when all else fails, impeach Trump.
Americans rejected this approach in the 2024 election, but apparently, some Democrats still haven’t received the memo. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. By that standard, Thanedar’s impeachment filing might qualify him for psychiatric evaluation rather than serious political consideration. Until Democrats develop actual solutions instead of political vendettas, they’ll continue to wonder why voters keep turning away from their increasingly desperate brand of politics.
