President Donald Trump has a new attack dog and her name is Maxine. Her job is not to defend him, rather it’s to attack him. Maxine has not only found her voice, but she has also found her cause.
Her full name? Maxine Waters, Democrat from California.
She has been on the national scene now for nearly 30 years and when many people in Washington, including many Democrats thought she was washed up with ethics scandals and to liberal on the issues of the day, to a point where she became so bombastic during the Bush and Obama years, many people dismissed her rhetoric as empty hot air.
But something has changed, not only about perceptions of Congresswoman Waters’ stance on the issues, but her tone and her aggressiveness. Is she defending the country against a clear and present danger, mainly a President Trump or is she just grandstanding to get votes and to increase her popularity? It depends on whom you ask.
Many liberals find her to be a champion for the issues that not only they care about, but that they think are being eroded and or disregarded by a President who has little appetite for traditions and norms. They also see her as filling a void since the Democrats have yet to unite around one voice and one message now that they are in the wilderness. From their point of view, Waters’ say’s what they are thinking and she says it with such passion and conviction, many on the left are taking notice.
Consider these facts: At a recent gathering at Busboys and Poets, a neighborhood hang out spot for the young, brown and politically conscious, many people come to this place to hear poets, artists and other notable people who draw standing room only crowds. Maxine Waters arrived last week to the same following.
When her name was mentioned, there was a sustained applause that many of her colleagues in the House would envy. In fact, no one in the House most likely could get this large and friendly of a crowd and as soon as she stepped onto the stage, she went for the jugular: “Donald Trump is someone that found his way to the presidency of the United States of America — I still don’t know how,” she said, drawing boos at the mention of the president’s name. “But he’s someone that I’m committed to getting impeached!”
Yes, she said it. She mentioned the “I” word, and in fact, she was one of the first members of the House to mention impeachment and Trump months ago.
The crowd roared with excitement and she was not finished, “He’s a liar! He’s a cheat! He’s a con man!” she said, each statement punctuated by cheers and whoops from the crowd. “We’ve got to stop his ass!”
These types of comments have fired up the progressive left and those same comments have jeered up the right who find Waters’ comments to not only be offensive, but dangerous calling for the president’s removal so soon into his term. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House principal deputy press secretary, said of Waters: “Her calls for impeachment are baseless and ridiculous.”
I don’t know if there will be increased calls for the president’s impeachment by other members of the House and Senate, and I also don’t know if the president did anything wrong. What I do know is that so long as Maxine Waters has breath in her body, she will continue to be an outspoken not only for the poor and people of color, but also on other issues that she cares about; and that alone should make Republicans nervous.
Every time she opens her fat ugly pie hole 1000 more voters switch to the right side.
Keep it up hag; you’re doing nothing but helping President Trump and conservatives in general. No one wants to side with hate-filled ugly leftists except other ugly hate-filled leftists.
Oh come on she the best thing we could hope for. Come on Maxine open your mouth please say another stupid thing incoherently. She is marvelous don’t stop. In control of nothing
"People of color" is a leftist technical term. It means any people at all, as long as they are not "white".
Poor woman has to have an IQ below 80.........
Gonna be difficult to find a stained blue dress to impeach Trump over. Have you seen his wife Maxine ?
Says the corrupt gov’t crook....
78 years old and still a dumb ass.
Way to go, Maxi Pads. You’re an embarrassment to California.
Maxine Waters is a joke. If she is the face of the Democratic Party attacking Trump, then they are doomed as a political party.
Maxine Waters is sewage waters. Her toxic release is hate. When God is out of people’s lives, as is happening more often, the spirit of hate moves in. There is an obsession with hate that has possessed the godless Left like a drug. It is more addictive than the hardest narcotic and will overwhelm the spirit and turn ones life into slavery always seeking the next fix. Waters has stumbled on this phenomenon and exploits it for her political power. She knows that if she can stir up the hate syndrome, she is giving her constituents the fix that will have them hooked for life.

Mostly because the people writing these articles are oroducts of a bizarre Gipetto and sadmy, lying is more endemic than truthfulness.
They shade headlines and stories tk garner readershipthe, viewership as well, control of their minds consciously and unconsciously exercising their spirits like a weird cult taking for granted what they want to hear.
I’ve recently been told “We see things not for what they are but, as a reflection of who we are”
Well, thats almost cute until you go Tucker Carlson on them and agree with their premise, if it’s true and anyone should agree with your premise if the facts are as you say.
However, if we could give the writer of these stories the benefit of the doubt and trust their truthfulness, what woukd you say if we read the whole of the article to get a real sense and fuller picture of their reporting.
I’ve noticed over the years almost all reporters when challenged on their veracity or fullness of the story can honestly say “You obviously didn’t read the whole article “ or “That isn’t the fullness of what I reported “.
And yet, isn’t really the fullness of what you intended?
You understand most people won’t read the entirety of your writings and you write in overly broad terms witb a headline to anchor a narrative you are pushing, that really isn’t an honesty assesment of the article or at least does not become or have an element of the fullness of truth until nearly the end of the article, which by the time most people have read the headline and a paragraph or two, feel they have been informed fully, when in fact, the nuggets if truth giving fuller context to the article are buried toward the end.
For instance, the reporting that Trump shoved the President of Montenegro.
I was made aware of this by some leftwing sycophants I call friends.
I laughed when they told me this.
They angrily responded “So, you think it’s funny that Trump shoved the leader of another country?”
“Eee yeah, no. It’s funny because it sounds preposterous for its premise, I am immediately concerned you are being played by an extraordinarily hostile media who very much are doing their level best to undermine and delegimitize this president with contrived crap that falls very short on specifics and seems more like broadly written, generalities of invented scandals, innuendo and devoid of facts.
They write stuff that is designed to elicit a response from your amygduluh and adolescent limbic reaction, which means you are not engaged in at least some scepticism for what you are reading ir you haven’t the capacity for it.
So, I said to them “Let me pull up the video of “The President” panhandling another world leader, if Montenegro is even a country “ Joking of course...
I informed them I would be pulling a video at random and not bother listening to whatever narrative accompanies it and I would loom for one that is a bit fuller in length.
They then became very agitated and ridicuked me saying “Your sources aren’t valid “
I laughed, asking “what do you care where I get the video from on youtube?”
They excitedly exclaimed FR is not legitimate news.
I responded that sounds very reminiscent of a time in the past when only certain news outlets were deemed legitimate, just before someone received “reeducation” at a camp or maybe were never heard from again and the record of their demise found to be recorded at least and rezd aloud in The Hague.
AnywY, I don’t need FR to source a video and was going to simply find it on youtube.
“You don’t know if it’s legitimate!!!!” Came their response.
I laughed saying a video, is a video and unedited should be valid on its own, without commentary....don’t you think?
“Well, I just want you to use a legitimate site”
“Ubn huh. It comes down to are you going to believe your lying eyes or a fuller unedited video, doesn’t it”
Here is “The Encounter” as described on CNN. Notice the video is highly edited showing these men from the waist up and a few frames chopped.
That is what you saw on the news and they have a second video showing a fuller picture unedited andongdr in length, which portrays probably two guys goofing off witb Trump jovialy goofing around and the prime minister goofing back ajd “shoving” the president back as well.
Look at both videos and I don’t see how you come to the conclussion that Trump shoved him in either
http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/25/politics/trump-pushes-prime-minister-nato-summit/
Notice in the article and other news articles the prime minister is asked about it later, and says he onky became aware there was a controversy in the media but, he thought nothing of the interaction and there is nothing to it.
The headline is designed to elicit a response from the lemming mindset about sometbing that doesn’t exist as far as the participants are concerned.
You’ve been played by a media who desperately needs your viewership.
Moreover, you are focused on this idiotic and contrived headline.
Which is odd, because you dont seem interested in the big picture of why our government and others were there in the first place nor what the outcome of the meeting was and any important achievements.
BTW, did you know Montenegro was just admitted to NATO?
they had no clue...
Oh, and back to Maxine Waters and her bat shit accusations and demands for impeachment.
She appears to be in the extraordinary minority witb virtually no leaders of her party in agreement.
Nancy Pelosi has calmly stated there are no specific allegations and impeachment not only seems highly improbable but, the talk of such is irresponsible and impeachment being a political act, it would tear the country apart and talks of impeachment are a bit irresponsible.
Dianne Feinstein has avoided the question of impeachment saying “I think he’s going to get himself out”.
Oh kayyyyy.
And no less an imoortsnt voice in legal matters, Alan Dershowitz haz been very vocal on nees shows saying there are no specific allegations, no facts and that talks of impeachment are really going nowhere and that meme undercuts the agenda of the democrat party.
There really is no “There” there...
I dislike Nancy. I harbor no dislike for Water. Pity is the proper word for Water.
Trump should tweet:
Thank You Maxine. Comments like yours from you makes me look better all the time.
Now we know what kind of dog the President needs to get
A Rottweiler
And name it Maxine
Yep - Hillary wasn’t Black enough to be the first woman President.....Maxine is honing her crazy to make herself look like the candidate for the Dems......one can hope.
What this idiot old black has-been hag is really doing is setting race relations back decades with her abrasive rhetoric. So many people see, read, or hear her say these really over the line things and think what a thankless uppity ni##er she is for saying these things and how she says them. Thanks to people like her this kind of thinking will now be kept alive for at least another 2 generations.
I get the feeling she thinks she’s at the end of her career and life so now she can say whatever she wants. When she does this she exposes all dems for what they really are. Racists and bigots. The exact thing they have been accusing us on the right of being but what they were really doing is projecting themselves like they always do.
Maxine Waters seems to be a poster child for Dunning Kruger Syndrome.
No weapon formed against President Trump shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against him shall be condemned. For this is the heritage of the saints of the Lord.
maxine for President!!! Go maxine. Maxine for President!!!
