WASHINGTON - Impeach Trump Again, a nonpartisan campaign led by Free Speech For People, announced today that they have collected over 250,000 petition signatures in support of an impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump. The announcement comes on the heels of Rep. Al Green’s recent House floor speech that he would bring articles of impeachment against the president.
“The Constitution has a remedy for a corrupt, lawless president: impeachment,” says John Bonifaz, President of Free Speech For People. “Donald Trump has already committed multiple abuses of power since assuming the Oval Office again, and he must be held accountable. More than 250,000 people across the country have now joined this call for impeachment proceedings against Trump. We urge all Americans who still believe in the Constitution and our democracy to join us at this critical moment in our nation’s history. And, we urge Members of Congress to follow the mandate of their oath of office, stand with Congressman Al Green, and invoke the power of the Impeachment Clause to address the direct and serious threat Donald Trump poses to our Republic.”
Im sure your democracy is as strong as ever and will fend off this threat.
Fucking idiots.
Americans still being gullible idiots thinking this will do anything while bad actors a running rampant 🤦♂️
This time it’s really really urgent tho. What a clown country
Over 250,000 and 1. I wasn’t counted in that.
proceedsing
Thanks - fixed!
250k that’s it?
I haven’t seen the petition. I would absolutely sign it.
250k have signed this particular petition to date - not “only 250k Americans want to kick Trump out”. The effort began less than two months ago - it’s a start.
Oh ok that makes sense. Gotta start somewhere.
yeah, you don’t need anywhere near that many signatures for Congress to take action.
but with rump being such an actively terrible president, it’s not surprising they got so many signatures in only a few weeks.
Sure, whatever. Let’s add another to the pile. The last two worked so well. Maybe he will frame them in the oval office.
I’m sure the Republicans in control of the House and Senate will get right on that. I can’t roll my eyes hard enough.
Do they not realize who has the Senate and House? It’ll be like the first term all over again, where Republican will kiss his ass to protect him.

I think the line is doing anything outside the clearly-nonfunctional system to stop the MAGA cult. All they’re doing is complaining and wasting time, Republicans will dox and threaten with violence. The people that were elected to fight this are almost literally bringing pens and paper to a gunfight.
It’s honestly pathetic to watch a curbstomping being responded to with, “well im gonna write such a scathing letter about this.” The Democrats are absolute trash and need to be shamed for being such cowards about this.
So… They should bring guns to congress?
They should stop doing the things they’ve been trying and failing at for ten years. 2024 was the end of the old ways, IMO; the Democrats lost so badly and so definitely that there’s no point in pretending there’s any going back.
Nice dodge.
What SHOULD the Democrats do?
So, first off: calling out someone for repeatedly doing the same thing that isn’t solving the problem doesn’t require having a better answer. If I was trying to solve global warming by duct-taping cats together, you could point out that it isn’t working without solving global warming yourself.
Second:
- Lead general strikes
- Refuse to follow the rules of order
- Organize protestors everywhere any Republican congressman goes
- Stop pretending that being civilized is getting them anywhere
I think we all know they won’t do any of these things on their own, they need to be shamed into it. Without their supporters turning on them, the Democrats will continue doing nothing because it’s what their donors want.

Fuck that shit. Tankie bastards are always criticizing Democrats but offering no alternatives. We should be demanding solutions purely as a shibboleth to weed out propagandists and their useful idiots.
Refuse to follow the rules of order Stop pretending that being civilized is getting them anywhere
Can you elaborate? This is pretty vague.
Yep. Impeach because it’s the right thing to do, and get all the Repugs on record defending the Traitor Trump.
Seems like a scam because they are asking for money. I wouldn’t sign or donate with real information.
not to sign the petition.
it’s a legitimate petition that you don’t have to pay anything to sign.
You don’t have to pay for signing, but they definitely are asking for money. It’s an ActBlue campaign. This is like Change.org bullshit all over again.
If ActBlue did anything worthwhile at all with the money they are donated, then we wouldn’t be here responding in this thread right now, right?
you can be part of important political action here without paying the committee that is going through the trouble of organizing and campaigning this political action.
The political action itself is free for you to participate in, while political organizations in general, a separate issue, accept donations if you have the money and inclination.
All political campaigns have costs and pay their employees.
you are under no obligation to pay in order to sign a petition and take political action against an absolutely terrible person.
“If ActBlue did anything worthwhile at all with the money they are donated, then we wouldn’t be here responding in this thread right now, right?”
absolutely incorrect, foundationally and fundamentally.
you are arguing that the Allies shouldn’t resist the axis because if the Allies are worth anything than the axis would never have come to power, which is not correct. of course they should fight an authoritarian regime executing civilians and trying to take over Europe.
If this was just a campaign to “save the country” as described, then I don’t find a reason to ask for money to do so.
Do it because you’re saving the country, not because of any other reason.
you seem to be angry at libraries for offering a free service that you don’t have to pay for, while also accepting donations if you have the ability and inclination.
that is a weird focus.
What are you talking about? They don’t ask for money anywhere on the site - show me where they ask for money.
Edit: downvote instead of a response? Classy, Vlad.
Edit ++: proof was provided, I stand corrected.
What’s funny is with timestamps we can see the proof was posted before your insult…
Must have come in while I was typing the edit, c’est la vie. Proof was provided, so I’ve reversed my downvotes and removed the link from the post text.
Dafuq? That doesn’t appear at all on Firefox on desktop, or maybe my adblocker got it. I stand corrected and rescind my downvotes.
That being said, classifying Act Blue as a scam is a bit of a reach, although I agree they’re annoying as shit.
