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.”

    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.

      Oh my God I am so tired of this back-and-forth.

      When people say it’s not strategically sound to impeach, everyone says the Democrats have no spine. Now they’re calling to impeach, and it’s “what’s the damn point?” Are you fucking kidding me?

      They’ve never had the votes to convict at literally any time. Should they never have gone for impeachment in the past? When is it acceptable to? Where is the line?

        The last potus was directly responsible for Clarence Thomas. Half of the dem fuck heads don’t even have the decency to blow smoke up their constituents asses. There has never been an easier time to be one. There’s nothing they can do and every second they do nothing their portfolios get a little bit better.

        I would trade a million of your signatures for a trumpers thoughts and fucking prayers every day of the week. At least trumpers are trying to destroy themselves. Dems and liberals are self-serving, self-preserving capitalist cancer.

        Yep. Impeach because it’s the right thing to do, and get all the Repugs on record defending the Traitor Trump.

        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.

            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.

          I agree with you, but that doesn’t mean impeachment isn’t something that should be done as well
