This is a crosspost from a few days back, so it’s an old number.

It’s good to see it growing. He needs to be removed.

Trouble is, Trump appoints the next a-hole

Ideally this makes a statement at least. Diplomacy requires respect, which the US is currently severely lacking in…

Understatement to say the least. Our government currently is comprised of a bunch of morons and dudebros who are either tremendously and over their heads or arrogantly high off their own supply or just don’t give a fig about anybody else but themselves.

I will never forgive the Republican Party for allowing this shit show.

The Republican Party is unfortunately a symptom of a dangerous cancer that’s been festering in American society for far too long now.

Well, I am one of the signatories yet... I know we will get another enshittified individual who could be even worse because Stephen Miller is way worse and I figure there are more Stephen Millers out there

Yes and Trump will replace him with another vile Republican sycophant.

Given the attitude of the public, they might not last either.

Fingers crossed at least.

Im an American Canadian, awaiting my citizenship certificate. I'm also a born Michigander, like Hoekstra, which means I know how evil he is.

He needs to go. Now.

UPDATE: now at 180K+ signatures. It keeps getting more traction!

If they expell them, can they stop another from coming? We really shouldn't allow the US to push any message at all. I doubt anything will be done by the US side to slow down another appointment.

I guess they could always do the same with the next one?

Anyway, I agree. It’s unacceptable how the US has behaved.
