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.”
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.
This is Lemmy. Of course they want to give up to the authoritarians. That’s been the steady drumbeat of this community for as long as it’s been big enough to be classified as a community. They’ll sometimes post about guillotines or green Mario because they know that those will never translate into action, but whenever the possibility of something actually being done comes up the chorus of defeatism becomes deafening.
