Democratic mega-donor Tom Steyer on Monday said he'll run Times Square billboards as part of his ongoing campaign to impeach President Trump.

The signs will show how many individuals have signed a petition to impeach Trump, which the campaign said has received more than 2.5 million signatures.............................

The advertisement will run until New Year's Eve and will appear for 10 minutes each hour, the campaign said.
....................................
"It's up to all of us to stand up to this president, not just for impeachable offenses, but also to demand a country where everyone has a real chance to succeed," says Steyer in the ad. "Join us. Your voice matters."

To get other dems elected. Give some to Doug Jones, and fund some races in "light pink" areas to make us more competitive.

Votes whether or not to impeach? Exonerates him from what? This has a long way to go before it has an answer. But whether it's symbolic or feasible I'm happy there's a big running count of how many people want him impeached.

If the House holds a vote on impeachment, or the Senate hold a vote on conviction and either of them fails, Trump and his supporters will claim he's been exonerated, and the average voter will agree.

Honestly, I'm hoping for Mueller to deal with this but I don't see a whole lot of down side to it.

He's the biggest political donor on the individual level, and we're lucky to have him on our side.

I don't necessarily agree with the existence of hedge funds on an ideological level, but I'm glad he's using his money for good. He has also given way more to charity than the Trumps ever will.
