Warning: video at link, probably best to just read.
Perpetually offended Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) appeared on The View yesterday and opined on a number of topics (including a possible 2020 Presidential run), but stubbornly refused to admit there could possibly be any negative consequences arising from the steady stream of leaks, including transcripts of phone calls President Trump had with other heads of state.
Waters was asked if she was disturbed that confidential conversations with the leaders of Mexico and Australia were leaked. She replied:
"Not at all. I am so glad they're telling us what's going on.
"I need to hear these conversations. Unfortunately, this is his [Trump's] problem. He's in a White House where he's got people working for him that don't believe in what he's doing...."
When challenged that it could be a problem for the country if our president cannot have a candid conversation with another country, Waters said she didn't "see it that way at all" and dug in.
"Let me tell you something. Mexico is glad to have it leaked....Isn't it good that his supporters hear that [about Mexico not paying for the wall]?"
Rather than blaming leakers, Waters claims it's Trump's fault that things are being leaked and it's a failure of leadership. She even sees it as a call for Dems to "do something about" the "danger" she says Trump poses.
"The leadership starts at the top. It is this president that his own people don't have confidence in.
"They want us to do something.
"He's the danger, and they want us to do something about it."
Of course, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar were adding comments of agreement. But let's look back at what they said about President Trump when he shared intel about ISIS with Russia, which is vastly different than illegally leaking confidential conversations to the press. Mere details from the perspective of these babes, because the real determining factor to them is if they can hurt Trump.
Joy Behar:
"I don't think that the people who created our government expected to have a blabbermouth in the White House."
Whoopi Goldberg:
"When you give people information that they would not normally have that you keep close to your vest and suddenly you're telling everybody, it endangers everyone."
And what did Maxine Waters think of information sharing - sharing that, as President, Trump had every right to do - then? She thought he should be impeached.
She’s living proof of the bell curve.
It’s tough to decide who is more stupid, Maxine, Sheila or Hank........
Let’s sum this up. The Democrat party is the absolute party of in your face illegality. And then they dare to claim our president might have done something wrong.
They have to remain in congress to make the others look smart.
She thinks leaks are what she does in her Depends.
Don’t care what she believes.
The message needs to be: “Leaks don’t just hurt the President, they hurt our country. So knock it off”.
Repeat ad infinitum
Maxine Waters existence Jeopardizes modern Civilization.
Waters, Pelosi, Lee and others are in that special group that is so dumb that don’t know they are dumb.
At what point does some patriot just...oh never mind.
Please keep talking Maxine, you are the new leader of the Rat party, LMAO!
My opinion is that she actually and honestly is mentally challenged, in the sense that she has limited capacity to understand facts and objective reality, and that her ability to process new information is severely limited.
She may not be stupid, as it took some sort of acumen to play the political game in the past, even against political challengers from her own party, but that she is addled, perhaps suffering from senile dementia.
Clearly, the best thing for her, and in particular her constituents, is for her to retire, now. If she does not... recall her... which would be her equivalent to impeachment.
Exactly.
People don’t understand that every intelligence leak reveals sources and methods.
Sure, you can laugh, and say everyone already knows that we listen to the bad guys.
Yes, but they don’t know exactly how. Every intelligence leak gives them a little more info about how we’re doing it.
As soon as the bad guys piece it together, they will change their communications so we can’t listen to them anymore.
At that point, our sources and methods are worthless, and we have to spend a bunch more money finding new ones.
Every intelligence leak is treason. IMHO
I rather enjoy the attention given to Max Wawa.
I diminishes the attention paid to Wacko Bird Juan.
