One thing about working in politics is you can forget just how many people there are in Congress, and you also forget that a lot of them are weirdos and oddballs. You see a handful of Members of the House and Senate on TV, maybe like 10, but there are 535 of them, and some of them are so odd or creepy or strange that you have to assume they had to have been running against a sexually abused tube sock when meet them or see them on TV. Michigan Congressman Shri Thanedar is one such person.
I’d never heard of this guy before a video of him discussing the articles of impeachment he’d introduced against President Trump went viral. He represents a district I lived in and around from birth till graduating college and I’d never heard of him. Then I looked it up and saw he’d only moved to the state in the not-too-distant past and “won” is seat because he’d made a fortune off chemicals and, apparently, torturing animals.
I don’t know if his hair is real or if it’s what was shaved off some of his victims glued to the top of this dome, but I don’t really care either. The under-bite mutant with a penchant for hoping living creatures starve to death won a gerrymandered district with 68.6 percent of the vote. If you were looking for the “King of the Morons,” they just elected him.
What, in the eyes of this probable carpeted cranium progressive, did Donald Trump do to deserve to be impeached? Well, he allegedly did 7 things.
First, “Obstruction of Justice and Abuse of Executive Power: Including denial of due process, unlawful deportations, defiance of court orders, and misuse of the Department of Justice.” The “denial of due process” is about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien gang member deported to his home of El Salvador after more than a dozen appearances before immigration judges and 2 separate deportation orders.
It's unclear was Shri thinks of a “due process,” but it’s not what a normal person would. Thanedar is fighting to hard for Kilmar you’d think he was the only person who could tell him where the dentist who botched his braces lives…and he wants his revenge.
Next comes, “Usurpation of Appropriations Power: For dismantling congressionally established agencies and impounding federal funds.” The is code for “fighting waste, fraud and abuse.” Democrats hate that.
Then we have, “Abuse of Trade Powers and International Aggression: Including imposing economically damaging tariffs and threatening military invasion against sovereign nations.” Making jokes about Canada is now a crime? My whole childhood in Detroit was a felony, I guess.
Number 4 is, “Violation of First Amendment Rights: Through retaliatory actions against critics, media, and attorneys exercising constitutionally protected speech.” I missed a memo, apparently. Is Shri trying to say the President of the United States can’t say mean things back to people who say mean things to him? Could he be that stupid? Don’t answer that.
Shri’s next article is, “Creation of an Unlawful Office: By establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”) and unlawfully empowering Elon Musk to unilaterally violate the Constitution.” Never having heard of this guy, it’s quite possible he has done literally nothing as a Member of Congress and, therefore, doesn’t understand how government works. But Presidents are allowed to hire advisors to help them root out corruption in government. Maybe that hits too close to home for the 70-year-old Saturday Night Live character, but it’s a true story.
Then comes, “Bribery and Corruption: Involving dismissing criminal cases, soliciting foreign emoluments, and extortionate settlements for personal and political gain.” In typical liberal fashion, Shri simply declares something to be without offering any proof. It’s like he’s bucking for a gig on MSNBC-13 or something. Hell, maybe he’ll get one once Rachel Maddow dials back her rigorous 5 day work week to a more manageable Monday only schedule she’s paid $25 million a year for.
Finally, it’s, “Tyrannical Overreach: Seeking to consolidate unchecked power, erode civil liberties, and defy constitutional limits on presidential authority.” What’s the point of consolidating “checked power”?
This idiot is the Democrat Party in 2025, even if most of them have better hair and teeth. Though not by much.
But the ultimate question remains: How the hell did these people get elected to anything? Next time, do yourself a favor and vote for the sexually abused tube sock.
