California’s Democrats had their annual convention this week, working to figure out precisely what their agenda will be going forward. There are currently some serious schisms between the hard left and the more traditional elements of the party so they clearly have a lot of work to do. But all the policy talk went out the window when their featured speaker, Congresswoman Maxine Waters took that stage. The event quickly turned into an anti-Trump rally complete with chants and calls to figuratively drag President Trump out of the White House by force. (The Hill)
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), who has been a leading opponent of President Trump on Capitol Hill, told thousands of Democratic activists and officials to “get ready for impeachment.”
Speaking at the California Democratic Party’s annual convention in San Diego, Waters said that she believes special counsel Robert Mueller, who’s been at the helm of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, is “getter closer” to figuring out who colluded with Russia.
“I say it is time to get ready for impeachment,” Waters said to roaring applause. “I cannot wait and I’m counting on special counsel Mueller to connect the dots.”
“I believe he’s getting closer to discovering what Americans were and are involved in collusion with the Russians.”
According to people in attendance, Waters went on and on about Donald Trump for almost twenty minutes. Her theme was clear… everyone get ready for impeachment hearings. When it finished she was treated to several standing ovations and a chant of “Impeach 45” filling the entire hall.
To be clear, this isn’t new territory for Maxine Waters. She’s been talking about impeaching Trump since before he was sworn in. (Okay… she may have waited for a few days after the inauguration.) But in the past, the Democratic leadership has mostly edged away from her, not signing on to using “the I word” and letting her be the loud, extreme voice in the crowd. Is that changing now?
That may just backfire on the Democrats if Waters’ enthusiasm begins spreading to other candidates. There’s no question that Trump’s popularity is lower than it needs to be in a midterm election year and the party out of power traditionally does well in these cycles. But unless somebody finally produces some actual evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors against Donald Trump, the Party of Pelosi may just learn that people really don’t want to put the nation through the upheaval of another attempted impeachment. It would effectively shut down the government for an extended period of time, as all the focus turned to those proceedings. If impeachment is viewed as the agenda of the Democrats this year, that overreach could absolutely cost them their shot at taking the gavel back in the House.
And it’s also worth mentioning that the votes don’t exist in the Senate to actually impeach Donald Trump, even if they could come up with a majority in the House willing to bring the charges. Do they really want to start down this road? Clearly Maxine Waters does, but she may not have as much support among her peers as she did in that convention hall.
Not an easy task.
She is UGLY as sin! Maybe she’s a dude. Regardless, people like that should not be permitted in public.
I could care less about her hair, her skin color, or anything else about who she is personally. What I have issue with is her unwillingness to look for the truth - and follow it no matter where it leads. In racial issues neither side is totally right or totally wrong. The problem is that no common ground or solutions can be found because serious back and forth open ended discussions of the problems and potential solutions are prohibited by political correctness. Sooner or later we will all have to address what has been left unaddressed, and we will all be better for it.
And look who is behind her in that picture. None other than Cynthia McKinney’s replacement in the House of Representatives - Hank (Guam is going to tip over) Johnson. I have to say the democrats do attract some pretty squirrely birds!
Stray dogs have a better pedigree. So, her father was “Uncle Remus!” The question left out is, how many of the 13 kids did he father?
“Waters was born in 1938 in St. Louis, Missouri, the daughter of Velma Lee (née Moore) and Remus Carr. The fifth out of thirteen children, Waters was raised by her single mother once her father left the family when Maxine was two. She graduated from Vashon High School in St. Louis, Missouri before moving with her family to Los Angeles, California in 1961. She worked in a garment factory and as a telephone operator before being hired as an assistant teacher with the Head Start program at Watts in 1966. Waters later enrolled at Los Angeles State College (now California State University, Los Angeles), where she received a bachelor’s degree in sociology.”
She can bask in the glow of DiFi to go, cause her despicable ugly black ass is next....Oh my god did I say that,YUP!
MadMaxine is the commie media’s dream — always spewing wildly hallucinogenic lunatic rants that would get any self-respecting mental patient forcibly sedated
If there is any justice, it will be Maxine Waters who will have to resign in disgrace.
CGato
Do they add lead to Colt 45?
It looks like the Trump movement is impeaching her
‘PEACH FAWDY FI!
‘PEACH FAWDY FI!
‘PEACH FAWDY FI!
I think that Maxine Waters has basked in enough glow:: isn’t she dark enough already???
She’s messing with the trash Trump boomerang effect. Expect a smack down from unseen hands not made of flesh.
IQ80! IQ80! IQ80! IQ80!
[Do they add lead to Colt 45?]
Well, according to Dick Gregory, if it wasn’t sleeping pills in his water, perhaps it was manganese.
If only I were joking.....
Maxine Waters is one evil, seditious woman.
It’s too dangerous for Maxine Waters to live in her represented district!
Maxine doesn’t want to be anywhere near the people who are stupid enough to vote for her.
Some part of America really amazes me with just how dumb they can actually be.
Peach Fohty-Fie! I think they want a peach flavored malt liquor.
