Genius: Maxine Waters Thinks US Should Give North Korea 'Things That They’re Asking For'

Resistance Hero Maxine Waters has quite the strategy for dealing with escalating tensions with North Korea: figure out if the U.S. can give them the “things that they’re asking for.”

That’s right, the California Democrat sees a resolution to the crisis through diplomacy, telling a TMZ reporter that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson needs to fill the State department with those who can engage Pyongyang.

"We're on the verge of nuclear war, what are your thoughts on this?" the reporter asked.

"I want us to be very careful, very alert to what is happening and to avoid war," Waters said. "I think we can do this with some diplomacy, but we have got to have Tillerson, who is our secretary of state, get those positions filled for deputy [and] for assistant, so that we can engage with North Korea."

While she acknowledged North Korea has been threatening the United States, she believes we should still pursue diplomacy.

"I think there's some things that they want from us, and we have to find out whether or not we can work with them on the things that they're asking for," Waters said.

"This is something that we should be very concerned about, but this is not the time to go bluffing and threatening. This is a time for a diplomacy," she added, referencing President Trump’s “fire and fury” comments this week.

"North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States," Trump said. "They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen."

"[Kim Jong-un] has been very threatening beyond a normal statement, and as I said, they will be met with fire, fury, and, frankly, power, the likes of which this world has never seen before," the president continued.

Now, since this is mid-thread and peak viewing, we should back her entry into the 2020 Democrat primary with money, money, money.

She has the capacity to total the 2020 progressive wing single-handedly [Karamela, Deval, Booker, (Dumb as) The Rock, Kanye] which will leave us against Slow Joe - completely shorn of any non-white support. Be an easier run-thru for Trump than 2016.

Like maybe South Korea? Small problem... South Korea is not ours to give.

If they are asking for her, I agree.

Maybe Tillerson should ask the Norks if she'll do as a pleasure warthog.

I understand she lives in a pretty nice house. So if I visit her some day and demand that she hand over all of the good stuff inside or I’ll burn the place down, she’ll give me what I want?

The USSR was not behind JFK’s killing. And you cannot believe anything important in the original massive cover-up, the Warren Commission Report. LHO was, as he said, a “patsy.”

They asked for Maxine's head on a silver platter.

Normally I don't favor negotiation with totalitarian realms but in this case....

Sometimes people are so stupid we have trouble understanding how they got as far as they did without the Peter principle kicking in to stop them.
As we all know, the Peter principle has nothing to do with `Carlos Danger’. The Peter Principle is an observation that the tendency in most organizational hierarchies, such as that of a corporation, is for every employee to rise in the hierarchy through promotion until they reach the levels of their respective incompetence.

Of course the US Congress is an anomaly in the world of work; that is, it is a place where superannuated dunces go to die.

I suspect Mad Maxine may in fact be a dunce. A dunce is a person considered incapable of learning.
And she’s one of the worst kinds: a political dunce. Max is too stupid to be crazy.

I heard she doesn’t just live in a house. I heard she lives in a mansion. Big difference

Are North Korean’s paying Maxine off? Maybe the FBI should investigate where her money REALLY comes from..

Maxine waters isa mob inciter. many people in her district are poor and of course she rates the specter of resist government, which she is part of of course. She’s Al Sharpton, but who got elected. if she live along enough hispanics will take over her district.

That’s because she represents a demographic who have been given everything they’ve demanded by spineless crackers. If it worked to shut them up, she reasons, it will work to shut up Fat Boy.
