Our neighbor in Southern California when I was a child was a Head Start teacher because she had been on welfare. Wonder if the same is true of Maxine Waters?

I noticed there was no section for legislative accomplishments.

Can you send a full commode (lid optional) through the US Mail if it’s wrapped up in a colorful Birthday Box?

So black history is living outside one’s district and being involved in financial crimes?

MadMaxiePad has enough years left in her to make a run for POTUS with CrazyHank as her running mate. I plan on contributing heavily to their campaign should it come to pass.
Run, Maxie, RUN!!!!

here anger and stupidity shows on her face. She doesn’t even have the stones to live in her district but her constituents keep her in. She once wrote a letter to castro to ask him not to extradite a (black female) cop killer back to the states.

12 siblings...SHUDDER. Are they all as smart as she is?
To: 2ndDivisionVet
I'm not sure if they have indexed all of CSPAN videos going back this far but - ol' Maxine was on during one segment, perhaps a decade ago, addressing a gathering of Mothers Against Mandatory Minimums. I am shidding you negative on that, there is such a group. Instead of feeling shame for having raised a child that is in the criminal justice system, these folks organize to rant and rave against perceived sentencing unfairness. And Maxine was there imparting wisdom to the crowd. When you stumble across something like that you just stall out, slack jawed in disbelief. If the Democrats want to be identified with someone like her, bring it on.

You’re right, I take back what I said about her not having too many years left.

Her predecessor in Congress, Gus Hawkins, who was also a Communist, lived to 100. Look at Jimmuh Carter who is almost 93.
