Billionaire Tom Steyer Is Doubling His Budget on These Ads to Impeach Trump

Billionaire Tom Steyer said Thursday that he is spending an additional $10 million on his impeachment campaign against President Donald Trump.

Steyer, a Democratic megadonor and former hedge fund manager, announced the boost in funding on a conference call Thursday, saying he will fund two new impeachment ads, according to Politico. Steyer launched a campaign to impeach Trump last month, spending “well over” $10 million for the first ad to run in all 50 states, a spokesman said at the time. His impeachment petition has since garnered more than 1.9 million signatures, Politico reports.

In an interview with TIME last month, Steyer called the Trump Administration an “immediate danger to the health and safety of America” and said he has no plans to stop the impeachment campaign.

“I’m willing to do just about anything to try and contribute to getting us back on a growth path that is just and good for America,” he said.

1. Tom Terrific!

[BumRushDaShow]

2. The Kochs, Mercers, & Adelson

have done this sort of thing against Democrats routinely, persistently, and for an extended period of time. It's time for the wealthy left to step up (Soros can't continue to be expected to carry the load).

4. Apparently it works, so I'm all for it.

14. Trouble is, they got the money.

Pretty much endless supplies of it stocked away in offshore accounts.
And we don't have that many benefactors like this.

Most of the moneyed, the 1%ers, the huge wealth inheiritors, think like our fearless (ha!) leader. They don't wanna share it. They don't wanna pay a dime in taxes.

So, an answer... Chase the offshore dollars and their owners to the ends of the earth. Make THEM pay!
Let America know that that's why you pay high taxes.
It's because they DON"T.
Worked for the tea party, the out-growth of a generation or 2 of Reaganomics that put us in this hole we find ourselves in...
but don' gemme stahted!! i could go on all nght!

15. I heard today on MSNBC that Mueller IS investigating

all kinds of off shore banking practices that aren't directly related to the Moron but by other billionaires and Wilbur Ross, etc so that is good news. He wants to see how the oligarchs are intertwined with politics. This investigation is getting bigger and bigger. He already has all of the Moron's tax records and crossed the threatened "red line" long ago.

Steyer's is helping to drive the Moron crazy(ier) with his ads so that is an added bonus!

19. The only way any of it counts is if they go after the money and come back with a pantload of it.

[lagomorph777]

26. Since July 2016, my mantra is "This is going to get bigger, and bigger, and bigger..."

That is exactly how it has gone ever since.

[Alice11111]

32. Agree!

[Alice11111]

12. Yeah, thank you Soros. You have helped so much.

He is like Hillary for RWers, red meat to shread.
They make up hundreds of lies about him.

[yallerdawg]

3. He also added a moveon.org campaign...

regarding Faux News banning his ads.

Did you get that email?

[bathroommonkey76]

5. I'll have to check my Yahoo! account.

Thanks.

[Ligyron]

24. Yeah, and signed it of course.

[Alice11111]

28. but Move On has no influence on Fox. He needs to sue,

for many reasons, including free press coverage. Fox has no right to ban him

[hamsterjill]

6. Good for him.

I'm happy to see his efforts and I've signed his petition and shared his links to all of my contacts.

[LongTomH]

7. He's apparently 'struck a nerve.......'

[cp]

8. Just signed

Thanks, Tom!

[cstanleytech]

9. He would be better off spending the money to get more Democrats in office. nt

[Lucky Luciano]

10. These also act as ads that help democrats in general.

All thugs are runningmates of the rotting pumpkin effectively.

[SunSeeker]

18. Exactly. I think these ads helped us in VA. nt

[rpannier]

23. These ads get not one voter registered in WI, GA, NC, AL, etc

IMO the money would be better spent with lawyers wading through the voter registration rules in each state and getting people registered to vote
People can troll il douche all they want and they can complain about the onerous registration rules, but it doesn't get anyone registered and it doesn't get those laws changed

[rpannier]

22. +1

Agreed

[Alice11111]

11. They are good, but FOX blocked him, so he is mostly preaching

to the choir. Some Reubs watch CNN, but mostly they think it is. As Dotard says, "fake news."

I think he should sue Fox. It is publicly traded, not privately owned...violation free speech. They allow Repub ads for whatever they want.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. But there's alot of "our choir" not paying attention nor voting

If this can wake some of our own electorate up, then that definitely helps. Few will ever convince the Faux Snooze zombies to stop voting against their own interests as a spite job against Democrats.

[Alice11111]

29. True, but he syill needs to sue Fox.

[BumRushDaShow]

30. I agree although

I don't think he would win. Even if Faux is publicly-traded, it is not government-owned and thus still considered a "private business"... and Faux Snooze is on cable, so not really regulated like their network counterpart.

[Alice11111]

31. It's a win win. Big win, if wins. Small win if loses.

He calls attention to Fox bias. It is a violation of the Constitution.

[SunSeeker]

16. Those ads as great!

[ailsagirl]

17. EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!

[StevieM]

20. I am really liking Tom Steyer lately. He is a great environmentalist and a great champion

for our country.

I am starting to strongly consider him as the right candidate for 2020.

[rpannier]

21. Money would be better spent on lawyers wading through the voter laws in each state

and getting people registered

[Alice11111]

27. Lawyers suing fox because they nixed the ad. Clear

Violation of Constitution. It is a publicly traded entity.

[Gothmog]

25. I like these ads
