She's been called "Kerosene Maxine" and gaveled off the House floor for accusing Republican men of badgering women. She dismissed President Donald Trump and his allies as thugs and predicted his impeachment before he was sworn into office.
No one, Maxine Waters once observed, should be surprised by her. But after nearly three decades in Congress, the 80-year-old California lawmaker is in an eye-opening role as the highest-ranking African American woman in the country. She's wielding the gavel of the bank-regulating Financial Services Committee with the power to investigate Trump where some say it counts most: his business dealings.
The role makes Waters a model for many, but notably for the outspoken freshmen Democrats who have drawn as much scrutiny — and as many threats — for what they've said as for the barriers they are breaking. Waters, known by some of them as "Auntie Maxine," has been there. And her unique ascent offers lessons in how to balance activism with work and prudence.

When will the DOJ investigate for corruption?
NO IT’S NOT A PUFF PIECE.
It’s a piece posted to get me kicked off of FR (not purposefully) but it won’t happen!!!!
Everything I said out loud will only ever be heard by these four walls.
And never typed.
At least not here.
I don’t know about that, ever hear of “imputed thoughts”
Oh and they are taxable according to Bill Clinton.
” Laurie Kellman, The Associated Press “
Another Capo for Communism!
You have a lot of company.
What I keep wondering is why is everyone wrapped around the axle over what the House might do?
They are bat $hit crazy about getting Trump (and now Barr). They have been in office over 100 days and haven’t done diddly squat legislatively. Plus any crap they pass will most likely not make it through the Senate (although the RINOs there do worry me because they are lacking dicks and spines), then there is the surefire veto from President Trump. So let Maxine out of her cage so she can make a spectacle of herself in front of the whole country. In what remains of this session, she won’t even be able to “regulate” her own watch. And none of what I’ve outlined takes into account the likely prospect of Barr throwing a bomb into the FBi’s outhouse. When it starts “raining crap and boards” the RATs will be manning the lifeboats not passing any laws.
That is a good thing. The less this Congress does, the better for us.
What terrifies me is that there is likely truth behind that post.
Damned Marxist called for national seizure of all oil industry in America.
>>She’s wielding the gavel of the bank-regulating Financial Services Committee with the power to investigate Trump where some say it counts most: his business dealings.
Abuse of power, authority to draft bank regulation isn’t license ot investigate pre-President Trump’s business dealings.
More weaponization of government offices to target individuals.
Maxine showed her stupidity in the hearing with bankers. She didn’t even know that the bankers had stopped giving student loans years earlier. She showed her true ignorance in front of a television audience.
And why isn't that honor given to Horizontal Harris? I do believe a cage match is in order.
Heh, heh!
Two will enter one will leave!
Ahahahaha.
Prudence. She said PRUDENCE.
Is that a wig on Tina? Perfect casting.
Oh, you will never be kicked off of FR.
You are too valuable as a warning to others.
LOL
“ACT LIKE THIS GUY AND YOU WILL GET KICKED OFF!” :)
