At least the copperhead would move on from the woodpile as soon as he caught some dinner.

Right on.

When Maxine says “Democrats are ‘way too nice’”, what she really means is that she thinks Dems should engage in mass killing of Trump supporters.

Maxine Waters is right. Democrats are ‘way to nice’...

Also, there's not enough "PC - Group-Think" forced on citizens... AND waaaaaay too few ‘black lives matter’ groups...More people in the streets screaming for dead cops is such a warm cuddly democrat idea...

George Soros needs more power for his idiotic ideas - ideas no one understands. Yeah, that one's a winnah.

And democrats need to boot out White Working People...to hell with those with jobs. Acting all superior 'cause they got a paycheck...someone needs to knock them off their high horse.

Maybe a radical Muslim in charge of the DNC and Hillary as the face of the angry old woman - that would help ... And a press so unfair ordinary citizens object to the bias...another 'win' for democrats. Maybe some hired thugs to rough up Trump supporters (check out O'Keefe video -dems really hired violent street people) - crap sooooo obvious to everyone who's NOT a MSM reporter.

God only knows how we can hold our own against these geniuses... It's a wonder we have any elected office holders.../s

"Democrats are ‘way too nice". Yeah, right...

Low-information Rep. Waters has evidently never been taught the following. The Founding States did not establish the federal government for the purpose of being nice to citizens. The problem with “nice” but corrupt politicians is that they exploit low-information voters by promising unconstitutional federal social spending programs in order to win votes to keep themselves in power, such politicians now known as career politicians.

The Founding States established the federal government basically to give the states a volume price discount on a few common state needs like trade regulation (1.8.3) and limited money regulation (1.8.5), also military (1.8.16) and a few other services.

But note that Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, Madison generally regarded as the father of the Constitution, got into a political fight with traitor Alexander Hamilton over how strictly the enumerated powers in Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers should be interpreted.

Noting that Hamilton was a evidently a brilliant but amoral thinker, Hamilton probably able to argue and win either side of a controversy, while Jefferson and Madison promoted strict interpretations of Congress’s constitutionally limited powers, lawyer Hamilton argued for loose interpretations, the idea of constitutionally limited federal powers be damned in Hamilton’s eyes imo.

In fact, Jefferson had wisely noted that wide interpretations of the fed’s constitutionally limited powers essentially defeat the purpose of making the Constitution amendable by the Article V state supermajority.

"In every event, I would rather construe so narrowly as to oblige the nation to amend, and thus declare what powers they would agree to yield, than too broadly, and indeed, so broadly as to enable the executive and the Senate to do things which the Constitution forbids." --Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.

Both Jefferson and Madison had noted that, although the General Welfare Clause (GWC; 1.8.1) is a delegation of the power for Congress to appropriate taxes, it is nonetheless an incomplete delegation of power. More specifically, Jefferson and Madison had indicated that the clauses that follow the GWC in Section 8 limit the scope of what Congress can appropriate taxes for.

In fact, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had appropriately clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that it cannot justify with any of the clauses that follow the GWC in Section 8 and other enumerated expenses.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Based on Hamilton’s self-serving argument about Congress’s Section 8-limited powers, Jefferson had warned about self-serving lawmakers, Rep. Waters in this example, as evidenced by the following excerpt from an official report to President Washington about the constitutionality of Hamilton’s proposed national bank.

1. To lay taxes to provide for the general welfare of the United States, that is to say, "to lay taxes for the purpose of providing for the general welfare." For the laying of taxes is the power, and the general welfare the purpose for which the power is to be exercised. They are not to lay taxes ad libitum for any purpose they please; but only to pay the debts or provide for the welfare of the Union. In like manner, they are not to do anything they please to provide for the general welfare, but only to lay taxes for that purpose. To consider the latter phrase, not as describing the purpose of the first, but as giving a distinct and independent power to do any act they please, which might be for the good of the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless.

It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and, as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please. —Jefferson's Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791.

And here is comparable excerpt from President Madison’s veto explanation of an appropriations bill, Congress not able to justify its public works bill under Section 8 any more than Hamilton could justify his national bank under those clauses.

”To refer the power in question to the clause "to provide for common defense and general welfare" would be contrary to the established and consistent rules of interpretation, as rendering the special and careful enumeration of powers which follow the clause nugatory and improper. Such a view of the Constitution would have the effect of giving to Congress a general power of legislation instead of the defined and limited one hitherto understood to belong to them, the terms "common defense and general welfare" embracing every object and act within the purview of a legislative trust.” —James Madison, Veto of federal public works bill, 1817

Patriots need to support Trump in peacefully “forcing” the corrupt feds to surrender state powers that the corrupt feds have been stealing from the states back to the states, and also put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes.

Once unconstitutional federal taxes are stopped then the states will probably find a tsunami of new revenues that they won’t know what to do with.

If patriots fail to win back state powers and stop unconstitutional federal taxes under Trump’s watch, then it is only a matter of time until the corrupt feds are once again using stolen state powers to oppress the states and their citizens.

I live in California and if her counter part dian Finstine was still in office she would be more corrupt. the big difference between the two is Diane Finstine is better educated and knows how not to make a scene publicly.

You’re exactly right.

Those who are squawking the loudest and most often are some of the most guilty. These are the people who are going to lose millions in corrupt bribe money and possibly end up in prison, so they are working overtime to complain about how awful Trump is and how “nice” they are.

There are a few who are trying to avoid prosecution by keeping a low profile and shutting up. But overall, the ones who are wailing and crying and trying every possible dirty trick are guilty of some major crimes.

She has no intention of trying to find common ground with President Trump.
She will be replaced and learn to love to eat crow.

"Once unconstitutional federal taxes are stopped then the states will probably find a tsunami of new revenues that they won’t know what to do with."

One thing that would happen in a great way is to revitalize 50 state capitols, while draining the DC/NoVa swamp.

You're talking renaissance money for small cities like Harrisburg, Tallahassee, Frankfort, Carson City ... that is a metric that will bear fruit for 2020.
