Discussion: WH Temporarily Removes Petition Tool From Website Until Late January

Chances this is coming back in January: Zero.

He gonna pull stuff so unpopular that would blow any petition system up. then there’ll be claims that existing petitions were faked so they can all be ignored.

2018 is going to be looked at historically as THE year of constitutional crisis in America, and I’m seriously afraid it won’t survive the test.

The new website will have a filter that will only certain word combinations:

• Why + I
• Love + Trump
• Make/Made + America
• Great + Again
• Dearest/Fearless/Bravest/Strongest/Smartest/Best + Leader
• Handsome + Man

Additionally, all petitions must be accompanied by a valid credit card number and proof of a minimum purchase from a Trump-associated website.

Petition away, America!

A promise from Donnie Dumblefuck isn’t worth the breath it took to make the promise.

Like they really want to hear from the rabble.

Run for office- the 2018 elections are less than a year away! And if Trump and Louie Gohmert can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?

Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.

Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.

Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.

Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.

Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.

Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, just over 2 years from now, when we redraw Congressional Districts.

And get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST! We can do this!

Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one, and overturn any voter ID laws that are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise the poor and people of color.

You Got To Run!

I guess the new year was handy. Usually when these people mean “never” or “we haven’t even thought about it yet” they say “about two weeks” or “very soon.”

The petitions will now require that you present a photo ID in person at the booth behind the caddyshack at Trumpp’s golf course in Scotland (parking 18 Euros for visitors).

$1.3 million a year, huh? Gosh, that’s a lot of money. Let’s see… we’re about to create a deficit of $1.4 trillion with the tax bill, so now all we need to do is find 1,076,922 more government websites to cancel and we’ll be all square!

Yet another example of how an autocrat operates, censoring that pesky public.

And so it goes down the dark dank rabbit hole of Donald Trump’s administration. Justin time for their dirty tax bill are we surprised nope it’s something the dark soul lives in the White House would do. Here’s my middle finger salute to you Donald Trump you suck you’re a fascist. I understand the thing that cuts to his soul more than anything is when somebody disrespect seem he so Hitler like, cut from the same fabric as Hitler. Again my middle finger salute to you creep.

Uh-huh. I’m sure they’ll restore the petition system as soon as they can re-program it to send out a law-enforcement team to arrest and re-educate any petitioners engaging in badthink or any criticism of Putin’s Asset.

The Trump administration says the platform, used extensively by critics and less frequently by allies, will return in late January as a new site.
