A petition calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump has garnered more than 90,000 signatures.
At the time of writing, the petition, organized by the non-partisan group Blackout The System, has been signed by 90,985 people—leaving it less than 10,000 signatures shy of 100,000.
The petition accuses Trump of “greed, corruption, and a lack of accountability in leadership,” “exploitation of the American people,” and claims Trump has “repeatedly violated” the U.S. Constitution and mismanaged the economy.
“This petition calls on all Americans to come together, to make our voices heard, and to demand the impeachment of Donald Trump,” it says.
Carlos Álvarez-Aranyos, founder of American Opposition, which partnered with Blackout the System, told Newsweek: “Impeachment, conviction, and removal is the healthiest pathway to ending this nightmare, as it removes the fascist regime while reasserting the power of our Constitution. Our system was built to deal with threats like Donald Trump. Our current failure is human. We need our representatives to wake up and use the tools the Founders gave them to save our republic before it’s too late.”
Newsweek reached out to the White House via email for comment outside of normal business hours.
Oh yeah, they’d love his story. I’ve just been mulling over the idea of doing Washington DC crisis PR for the entirety of the 2010s. Every single crisis he could have lied to us about is cartoonishly evil, and they were all legitimised by demons like this playing devil’s advocate. It’s the worst kind of Guy to be behind one of these astroturfed babyprotests, outside of another Graham Platner Good Mercenary.
i don’t think it’s possible to make something like this without being that Guy. signing a petition to defeat fascism and make the usa Good again is the sort of thing aaron sorkin would get 4 million treatlers to do
That doesn’t mean it couldn’t work. If Hexbear got 100k signatures for a revolution, the US government would HAVE to respond.
