Being no stranger to public meltdowns, fan favorite Congresswoman Maxine Waters has a long history of demonstrating that she lacks a filter that is capable of processing whatever it is that takes place between her ears before it comes out of her mouth, and this week was no different. On more than one occasion, Waters made a complete fool of herself, and thankfully her outbursts were caught on camera.
In the article below, The Gateway Pundit provides a transcript, and 38 seconds of video that captured Congresswoman Waters in what has become one of her signature rants on camera. Based on what can be deciphered from her rant, President Trump certainly isn’t very high on the Congresswoman’s list of esteemed colleagues within the Washington beltway, however she seems to have a very difficult time articulating her issues with the President in anything resembling a coherent, or factually accurate manner.
In the video provided by Gateway Pundit, Congresswoman Waters shows her total lack of understanding with regard to how the impeachment process works before a national audience. Apparently she believes a president can be impeached based on lack of popularity. Perhaps if she had ever read the Constitution she swore to uphold she would have known that the list of offenses a president can be impeached for can be found in Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution.
In the first video, Right Wing News video revisits some of Maxine Waters prior public gaffs, and then explains how the impeachment process works under the U.S. Constitution. Once you understand what is required, and how the process works, it only makes anyone calling for President Trump’s impeachment sound ridiculous.

Democratic Congresswoman is doubling down on comments she made on Monday where she called for President Trump’s impeachment and also claimed that Vladimir Putin had invaded Korea.
Appearing on MSNBC on Tuesday, Waters made outrageous and offensive comments about President Trump.
Transcript from her rant on MSNBC:
This is the most outrageous and ridiculous President that this country has ever had. He cannot be depended on for anything that he says and so for them to try to pretend that somehow what i’m saying is outrageous and I’ve been reined in and all of that, there’s no truth to that. As a matter of fact, all that Nancy Pelosi said was that she was not ready to talk about impeachment, I’m ready to talk about it because I do believe that he has shown us enough and defined himself in ways that we have to be suspicious and concerned about him and we’ve got to dig deeper.
Sorry, Maxine. You can’t impeach a president because you don’t like him. It doesn’t work that way.

TITLE: Security Breach on Capitol Hill / By Wade, Jared
Article excerpt: In October 2009, a data breach on Capitol Hill that revealed the names of at least eight lawmakers being investigated for ethics violations called into question the cybersecurity policies that exist for Congress and led House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to pledge an “immediate and comprehensive assessment” of how the entire legislative body handles sensitive data.
Generally, the House ethics committee does not reveal the names of representatives involved in preliminary investigations in order to protect them from unfairly being associated with impropriety.
But representatives Maxine Waters (D-CA), Laura Richardson (D-CA) and up to six others were identified as targets of committee probes after a junior staffer improperly uploaded an internal document to a peer-to-peer file-sharing network, making it accessible to virtually anyone.
Experts believe the file was downloaded by users in Washington, New York and even as far away as London, and the leak became public after the Washington Post published the news.
The staffer responsible was fired soon thereafter, but that provided little solace for lawmakers whose reputations can be clouded by even the specter of investigation. …

Yeah no, Maxi. You can’t impeach Trump for whatever incoherent reasons you’re babbling about.
If you would like an example of an impeachable president, look no further than Trump’s predecessor (that means the guy who was President before Mr Trump).
Isn’t Maxi’s hubby involved in some sketchy dealings?
Actually, you CAN impeach a president just because you don’t like him. But you have to convince the majority of the House to do so... and then convince two-thirds of the Senate to do so... knowing that their constituents will be watching.
You can’t fix stupid...but duct tape can muffle the sound.
If President Trump can clean up the election process so that only US Citizens get to vote and then only once, there will never again be a maxine waters elected.
Just remember. The bizarre Maxine Waters does represent and is avidly supported by a large constituency that no longer shares common values or consensus with decent Americans. The country is in the midst of a cultural civil war. The outcome has not yet been decided.
She is one illiterate female.
Totally out of her realm.
People even dumber and more stupid than Maxine continue to vote for her. It’s shameful. A total disgrace.
Representation for Dummies.
Educate yourself, constituents.
Do you all remember ‘Hannity and Colmes’ on Fox?
How about ‘Watters and Waters’?
That would be a hoot!
She must be thinking of Obama.
President Trump is doing everything he said he would do. That's why the left is losing its mind--what little they have.
She hate dat rasis white boy.
It’s been my theory for a few years now that Maxine Waters is actually Al Sharpton in drag...there is no possible way that two people could be that stupid...
Maxine Waters under scrutiny for bank ties
The Los Angeles congresswoman's husband had ties to OneUnited Bank, which received federal bailout funds. She helped set up a meeting last fall with the bank and Treasury officials.
REPORTED March 13, 2009, LA Times / by |Richard Simon and E. Scott Reckard w/ Ralph Vartabedian
WASHINGTON AND LOS ANGELES — Rep. Maxine Waters, one of Los Angeles' most enduring liberal politicians, has come under scrutiny because of bailout funds that went to a bank in which her husband had owned stock and served on the board.
Waters was a senior member of the congressional committee dealing with the financial crisis when OneUnited Bank -- one of the nation's largest minority-owned institutions -- received $12 million in bailout funds.
Her husband, Sidney Williams, served on the bank board until early last year and held at least $500,000 in investments in the bank in 2007, the most recent year for which public financial disclosure statements are available.
A month before Congress enacted the bailout program, Waters helped set up a meeting between the chief executive of the bank, representatives of other financial institutions and Treasury officials.
"When a member of the financial services committee calls, you pay special attention," said Jeb Mason, who was a high-ranking Treasury official last fall.
Mason said that the September meeting was billed as a broad discussion by minority-owned banks of the problems they faced but that it ended up a discussion of one bank's problems.
Mason said he only recently learned of Waters' husband's ties to OneUnited and would have liked to have known about them. He added, however, that the connection didn't influence the department.
OneUnited did not receive any federal money at that time, but by mid-December, it had received $12 million in bailout funds. Waters did not respond to requests for comment.

This makes the scam even more interesting.
Pres Trump needs to suggest AG Sessions make an inquiry to the US Dept of the Treasury and be sure to ask what RAHM AND Obama were doing in the US Treasury after Obama got elected.
Treasury prolly HAS a huge Rahm/Obama paper trail. One can get awfully rich awfully fast knowing the Fed's Treasury moves in advance.
But the Iran connection could prove to be even more interesting considering the hundreds of millions Obama secretly gave to Iran. Read on.
"Don't worry, Mr President, the Dept of the Treasury is under your control."
=============================================
ONCE UPON AN OBAMA TIME, IN THE PRIVILIGED ENCLAVES OF
OUR NATION'S CAPITAL, RHAM EMANUEL HELD TWO JOBS Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (oversees the IRS).
PAUSE TO REFLECT First-term Obama had tight control of Treasury; Obama calculatedly placed his then-COS Rahm Emanuel in a dual role.......in the WH and at Treasury. Obama had a stranglehold on Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role
==========================================
THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.
When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

If she didn’t have protective pigmentation she would have been thrown in a nut house.
To use duct tape on Maxine’s mouth use up an entire new roll of Gorilla TAPE! ROFLOL
What’s scary is Mad Maxine is vastly more intelligent than the voters in her district.
I don't think that will make a difference in her case. The people in her district love her and think she's great.
Yes, they really are that stupid.
The price tag for the Wall Street bailout is popularly put at $700 billion—---the actual size of TARP--the Troubled Assets Relief Program.
But TARP is just the best known program in an array of more than 30 overseen by Treasury Department and Federal Reserve that have paid out or put aside untraceable money to bail out financial firms and inject money into the markets.
PAUSE TO REFLECT First-term Obama had tight control of the US Treasury; Obama calculatedly placed his then-COS Rahm Emanuel in a dual role.......in the WH and at Treasury. Obama had a stranglehold on Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role.
To get a sense of the size of the real $14 trillion bailout, see MJ chart at web site. A guide to the pieces of the puzzle includes massive untraceable Treasury Department bailout programs.
Money Market Mutual Fund: In September 2008, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel announced that it would insure the holdings of publicly offered money market mutual funds. According to the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP), these guarantees could have potentially cost the federal government more than $3 trillion [PDF].
Public-Private Investment Fund: This joint Treasury-Federal Reserve program bought toxic assets from banks and brokerages—as much as $5 billion of assets per firm. According to SIGTARP, the government's potential exposure from the PPIF is between $500 million and $1 trillion [PDF].
TARP: As part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel made loans to or investments more than 750 banks and financial institutions. $650 billion has been paid out (not including HAMP; see below). As of December 21, 2009, $117.5 billion of that has been repaid.
Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) stock purchase: The Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel bought $200 million in preferred stock from Fannie Mae and another $200 million from Freddie Mac [PDF] to show that they "will remain viable entities critical to the functioning of the housing and mortgage markets."
GSE mortgage-backed securities purchase: Under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the Treasury controlled by Obama/Emanuel may buy mortgage-backed securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. According to SIGTARP, these purchases could cost as much as $314 billion ---SNIP---
