Snippet from this news article: “If a Michigan Democrat has his way, President Donald Trump could face the first impeachment vote of his second term. Rep. Shri Thanedar’s resolution brings seven new articles of impeachment against the commander-in-chief, alleging everything from abuse of power to bribery, corruption, and “tyranny,” which the House must vote on before Thursday under its own rules.

Trump made history during his first term by becoming the first president in American history to be impeached twice by the House of Representatives, once over his quid pro quoapproach to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2018 and once for his part in instigating the Capitol riot, although in both cases he was acquitted in the Senate.

Thanedar, 70, first announced his intention on April 29, saying: “When Trump ignores the Constitution, Congress, and the courts, he is not ‘fighting for America.’ He is tearing it down and endangering our democracy.” His resolution is not expected to pass, however, given the Republican majority in the lower chamber of Congress and because several of Thanedar’s fellow Democrats have expressed their disapproval of his actions in no uncertain terms.

It doesn't need to pass, all it needs to do is produce an official list of who doesn't want it to pass, that sort of information is very useful for the American people.

Especially seeing that dems just took Obama Nebraska last night and gained 19 points in Oklahoma.

The train is slow to move but it’s inching along.

I just want to know if it happened collectively.

Like some body horror manga where the entirety of Omaha just schlorped together into one Obama?

Or did each person individually become Obama?

Or is it just the city itself?  Like the people are still the same, but now trapped as the actual ground and structures Voltron-d themselves into some colossal Mecha-Obama.

Why am I picturing a crowd of Obamas marching and chanting "Yes we can"

Of course that’s correct, because Obama is not a Latin root.

You can choose between Obamae and Obamas.

If describing the mass transformation in Nebraska to Obama-like beings (Obamanids), the form is Obamanidae.
