Trump attacks Mother Maxine Waters after she says we should make Trump administration people uncomfortable in public

I'm holding her earrings when she goes for Trump's weave.

Racist should not be accepted, ever.

I hope weak ass CNN and MSNBC don't call on Maxine to apologize or stand down. She is totally right. Make all those fuckers from Trump administration feel like shit since that's what they are and what they're doing to the country

[quote]I'm holding her earrings when she goes for Trump's weave.

Yep. He's really messing with the wrong one here. She ain't havin' it.

I stand with Queen Maxine waters!

Fuck everything Trump!!!!!!!!!

and when violence does happen this year before/after midterms (and you can be certain it will), Trump & Fox "News" will put all the blame on Maxine and those supporting her as if Trump didn't start all this horrible mess. Hell, if you want to go all the way back to the beginning, fucking Newt Gingrich in the 90s started the major divide between the parties and public because he wanted to usurp Bill Clinton's popularity

Go Maxine! Come back stronger and hit 'em harder!

There's been a lot of thought pieces on it already. They seem to range from "they should be pilloried but it makes me uncomfortable" to "drive them from their homes like lemmings and force them over a cliff"

And then the right wing posts which are decrying decency and hypocrisy and basically everything the right wing does.

I don't know if it's helpful or not. It's a way for people to vent their anger, but the right has a very powerful noise machine in place. THAT is what should be driven from people's homes, but I don't know how. Fairness Doctrine 2.0?

Why is Trump even responding? Doesn't he have other more important issues to tend to?

R7 You're absolutely right about Newt Gingrich and his creation of divisive politics in America back in the 90s.

He really did have a hand in creating the mess we have today in America.

Fuck his fate ugly ass!!!

Good point from the other thread (Politico article)

“This is certainly nothing new,” Rep. Dina Titus, a Nevada Democrat, said in recounting her 2010 loss. During the campaign, tea party activists would use bullhorns at “Congress on the Corner” events she hosted in front of grocery stores. “There was [also] a lady who followed me around everywhere. … I also recall that some of the tea party people spit on some of our members as they walked into the House to vote.”

Two years later, Titus ran again for Congress and won. And she said Republicans today have to face up to the legacy of aggressive protesting they unleashed eight years ago: “If you embolden this kind of behavior, you shouldn’t be surprised if it comes back to haunt you.”

R9 Fox hosts and repubs in congress will cry about the 1st amendment if someone brings up bringing back the Fairness Doctrine. I think unfortunately thanks to fucking Ronnie in the 80s, we're stuck with Fox poisoning society

r10 I love that Melania's jacket response to the right wing whining. It's so perfect for that shit.

Today Trump got exercised about a small rural restaurant and a sassy Black woman.

Meanwhile, brown babies are crying in cages.

There’s a reason why this woman keeps getting re-elected. She knows what the people want.

Trump and his entire administration of cronies must be opposed at every turn.

Love Maxine!

To quote Todd's mom Sharon, from Real Housewives of Atlanta..

"YOU GOT THE WRONG ONE NOW, BITCH!!"

She needs to DRAG donald DUMP by his strands of hair, and beat his fat ass!

Maxine is the only Democrat with BALLS enough to speak the truth.

The rest are neutered cowards.

Um, nice try r18, but there's a lot of Democratic firebrands.

Funny how we never hear about them, R19.

Except of course, through your testimonials.

Love Maxine for doing this. On CBS This Morning, Gayle was admonishing her for doing this, saying it's not the answer. FUCK THAT! The "they go low, we go high" shit DOES. NOT. WORK.

I love Maxine Waters even more than I already did.

And she's absolutely right about these Nazi trump administration officials. Fuck all of them. They've created this toxic environment and their going to have to live with it.

[quote]There’s a reason why this woman keeps getting re-elected. She knows what the people want.

She can wear her heels but stays ready to kick 'em off and start kickin' some ass.

Does this seem a bit racist or is it just me:

“Congresswoman Maxine Waters, an extraordinarily low IQ person, has become, together with Nancy Pelosi, the Face of the Democrat Party,” the president wrote on Twitter. “She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!”

Why do deplorables praise Trump for "hitting back" when all he does is call people names?

It sounds more threatening than racist. Disgusting.

And what moron writes "extraordinarily low IQ person"? What a fucking idiot.

Maxine is telling the truth that everyone else is afraid of saying out loud.

[quote] She has just called for harm to supporters, of which there are many, of the Make America Great Again movement. Be careful what you wish for Max!

No, his tweet at R24 sounds like a threatening "dog whistle" to his rabid dog supporters, to attack her and other Democrats.

Not that they needed any more urging from him. They're doing fine on their own.

You know what is wrong with America? We allowed deplorables to walk all over us and we did nothing. We are at war and I am not ashamed.

Don't mess with Miss Maxine.

Trump is trying to put Maxine in the crosshairs of right-wing terrorists. I'm sure she has plenty of armed security for her safety. Her husband is very rich so I'm sure she's well taken care of.

I think this can turn very ugly and very physical fast. I think Waters is playing with a volatile situation.

Going low won't work either.

Yes there's always a racist tone when Trump addresses someone black whom he's attacking just as there's always a tone of misogyny when he attacks any woman. He is a disgusting despicable bigot

Neither will going high!

[quote] I think Waters is playing with a volatile situation.

She got this. Don't worry about her. MMPH! Those pumps at R30 are CUTE!

I expect Trump's charming CoS John Kelly will weigh in, too. He wouldn't pass up an opportunity to vilify another mouthy Black Congresswoman.

Trump is trying really hard to take America back to the 60s.

We all better fight these right-wing mother-fuckers! They are dangerous.

I'll just let this headline sit here;

"LAURA INGRAHAM, MIKE HUCKABEE SAY MAXINE WATERS AND DEMOCRATS 'WANT PEOPLE KILLED'"

I can't stand Trump but this leech may be just one step further away from being totally repugnant.

These rightwingers are something else. The nerve to say we want people killed with all the blood on their hands. They’re the ones who work to ensure that gun violence reigns unimpeded in America.

Nancy Pelosi Rebukes Maxine Waters For ‘Unacceptable’ Comments

Bitches please. Trump does not want the Crips on his ass. He better tread lightly!

[quote]Nancy Pelosi Rebukes Maxine Waters For ‘Unacceptable’ Comments

I'd read that again.

CNN Panel Tears Into Maxine Waters For ‘Outrageous’ Rhetoric: Stoking ‘Mob Mentality on the Left’

RealClearPolitics editor A.B. Stoddard kicked off the CNN panel by pointing out that Waters is set to take over a highly important position in the House as chair of the Financial Services Committee — and “she’s doing everything she can to prevent her own promotion.”

“This is beyond overreach,” Stoddard said. “It is so outrageous that she is trying to motivate voters on her side to be as divisive as President Trump. I just find it really unbelievable that this is the kind of thing they’re trying to stoke this mob mentality on the left. It’s the exact thing that will drive turnout on the other side.”

“People end up behaving like the president and they shoot themselves in the foot,” she added.

CNN’s John Avlon pointed out that ahead of the midterm elections, “this is exactly the kind of thing that will get [Trump supporters] motivated, because it creates a veneer of moral equivalency.”

“If we get to a place as a country where it is open season on anyone if they serve in an administration in public, when mob rule starts being advocated by elected officials, that is bad for everybody. And it is the opposite, as you pointed out, of Michelle Obama’s ‘when they go low, we go high.'”

New Day host turned to White House reporter Brian Karem — known for his dustups with Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders — to seek his thoughts on her expulsion from a restaurant over the weekend.

“I would have served her,” Karem said. “What happened to just a little bit of civility?”

He added that Waters’ rally was “way over the top.”

Blah, blah, blah, R45

Miss Maxine has just successfully secured the youth vote if for no one but herself. Black women have her back. She's solid. She's gonna do jes' fine.

'Look at her hair...'

Deplorables have rocks for brains and hearts. They exist but they are not worthy of respect.

The Black press and Black Twitter are on their way! Is Miss Maxine an AKA? If so, good night Donald!

She’s fucking nuts.

You mean she has fucking nuts, unlike Nancy Pelosi.

'Deplorables have rocks for brains and hearts. They exist but they are not worthy of respect.'

I am a strong black woman. I cannot be intimidated, and I'm not going anywhere.

The President of the United States just threatened a US Congresswoman with harm, to be carried out by his thuggish followers.

This from the man who called second amendment people the only ones able to “do something” about HRC nominating judges.

Maxine speaks out against a fascist regime and all the pearly clutchers from Pelosi to CNN jump down her throat. Dems lose because they never fight. for blood. It's always, Be polite, be sweet, don't rile up the opposing team, etc.

No, fight like hell. Rile up your own base!

I am a strong black woman. I cannot be intimidated, and I'm not going anywhere.

R58 this is exactly why we need to quit the "they go low, we go high" bullshit. Fight fire with fire, and lets burn them to the motherfucking ground.

Either tell Maxine to shut up or we're all in a bloody civil war?

Sounds like people are trying to turn this into a zero-sum game.

It is not.

We are allowed (first amendment) to express ourselves to our elected representatives and those who carry out their policies.

We should express ourselves, and very loudly. Call them by their names loudly when you see them out in public.

This is not violence, I'm talking about.

This is an acceptable form of protest.

It is what we have to do, since Congress is not reining in the fascist-in-chief in our White House. The usual checks and balances are failing. What else can we do right now? Because some atrocious things are happening right now, and the next election is not upon us quite yet.

Shame them and and shame them further when they declare themselves victims of the militant left calling them out.

“Let’s Wake Her Up”: How the Protest at Kirstjen Nielsen’s House Came Together So Quickly

Heidi Hess didn’t come to DC to start a protest. As the co-director for mobile company CREDO Action, Hess periodically flies in from California to Washington to meet with progressive clients and manage accounts. But when she saw the local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America confront Department of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen at a DC Mexican restaurant last Wednesday, she was inspired to move, and move quickly.

Motivated by the grassroots energy of the MXDC protests, Hess called as many allies as she could the following afternoon, including district-based DSA and advocacy partner Bend the Arc, to figure out a way to build on the activist momentum. Together, they figured that the only logical next step would be to bring the noise to Nielsen’s family home in Alexandria.

“The entire thing was super last-minute,” Hess says. “After DSA’s protest, we realized people were willing to get close and personal to [Nielsen.] So we thought ‘let’s wake her up. While she’s drinking her morning coffee, let’s make sure she knows we’re here.’”

A “graphics wizard” created jarring signage quickly, Hess says. Posters reading “RESIGN,” “Child Snatcher,” and “2,300 Children Ripped From Their Families, No Plan to Reunite Them” with the secretary’s face superimposed in red and orange were designed and printed overnight, ready for the two dozen or so protesters in the morning.

With all the protest basics—a personal location, loaded signs, a common enemy, and willing protests—all assembled, Hess and the rest of her team were ready to cause some trouble.

By 7:30 AM on Friday morning, nearly 30 individuals had gathered around Nielsen’s home and were marching and picketing in the rain. Secret Service flanked the embattled secretary’s home, though Hess says none gave the picketers any trouble.

She also says the neighbors didn’t seem to mind: Some, she says, joined the group. “Not a single neighbor expressed critique or concern.”

Protestors stood outside Nielsen’s Northern Virginia residence for nearly an hour. But even the most invigorated individual is no match for Mother Nature. As a passing rainstorm heightened in intensity, Hess decided to call it a day an hour after they arrived.

Hess muses that perhaps their last ditch event made a real splash.

“I don’t think she left after we did; her detail was there the entire time.”

The protests certainly caught major steam online, where videos and photos went viral within the hour. Yet, Hess was unable to catch wind of any of the response as she rushed to the airport to catch a flight back home to her far less rainy California.

[QUOTE]If one hair on her head is harmed, that's going to set off a direct domino effect. And republicans won't be safe either.

😂 Yeah right. When’s the last time a rightwinger was harmed by someone from our side? They’re the ones always killing us.

I'd have stuck it out in the rain. Aside from that, good on them.

R77 We live in a crazy world. So keep sleeping.

We love in a crazy world largely because it’s plagued by rightwing lunatics. Liberals aren’t out there killing anybody to send a political message.

Before Miss Maxine starts a second Civil War, she needs to remember who has the guns and who doesn't. Miss Maxine shouldn't write a check her ass can't cash.

R39: Did that self hating dyke say the same for Trump during the campaign?

I'm so fucking sick of the punditry cautioning us to be careful and stop helping to make Trump popular. They are full of shit. Of course his people are going to circle their wagons. But is the media so memory impaired they forget how Trump himself at his rallies, encourages and urges his supporters to attack the media and harass and bully reporters? The GOP hecklers and bullies have been at this a long time.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was happy to use her platform on TV every day promoting discrimination against Gays, denials of services etc. wedding cakes, florists, even women being denied prescriptions by pharmacists who disagree with them on religious grounds. This is bullshit. It is Trump once again inventing another issue. Attacking, & stirring up trouble.

The Homeland Security Director and Steve Miller were both run out of restaurants. Good. As Jeffrey Toobin and John Heilemann both pointed out today, none of this happened until they started taking kids away from their parent.s We put up with a lot of shit from this gang but ripping kids from their parents arms was the final straw.

Now they want to make an issue of Maxine. Trump even threatened her. But the issue is still Trump, not Maxine or Peter Fonda or Samantha Bee or Robert De Niro. Trump creating an immigration crisis where none existed before, and stealing children from their parents scattering them, in the middle of the night to foster care thousands of miles away with no communication between parent and child. It infuriates me. I 'd like to see something horrible happen to all of them. They have earned it.

[quote]Before Miss Maxine starts a second Civil War, she needs to remember who has the guns and who doesn't. Miss Maxine shouldn't write a check her ass can't cash.

And, maybe you should remember who are those that are in the kitchens....

"And, maybe you should remember who are those that are in the kitchens...."

Bake a souffle, that'll show the right wing!

Jim Acosta was reporting from a Trump rally tonight and the MAGA crowd was standing right behind him shouting, disrupting a screaming with signs "CNN Sucks" ...and he was being threatened too. But of course they did that all through 2015, 2016, and 2017.

[quote]I'm so fucking sick of the punditry cautioning us to be careful

It's not just them. Schumer, Pelosi are out there as usual, condemning Waters statements. Democrats eating their own as usual. Lets observe how long it takes them to take issue with Waters being threatened. No statements from them about that so far. It's ridiculous.

The democratic party needs new leadership. People are getting more and more fed up of one party being allowed to do whatever it wants and not being held accountable for any of it. Democrats get crapped on all the time by Republicans for anything. Like Michelle Obama said the other day, they weren't allowed to make mistakes. Our representatives need to be sticking up for their own voters. Not licking the balls of the opposing team.

F9 and F13 the Fairness Doctrine applied to radio and TV broadcasters. It wouldn't apple to cable news networks.

Plenty of Democrats own guns, too. I am one.

[QUOTE]It was a Bernie guy who shot those congresswoman playing ball. The left has been involved in violence although I hate to admit it.

And nobody died other than the shooter because he didn’t know what the hell he was doing. Probably couldn’t aim for shit and used a pistol without the proper range. When rightwingers start shooting, they plan it out so they make sure they get bodies.

Maybe if people would go out and fucking vote this shit wouldn't be necessary.

Threatening, harassing, spitting in people's food, aren't people no better than deplorables if they do these things?

3 million more Americans voted for Hillary Clinton and it didn’t make a damn bit of difference. She still lost.

R45 fuck AB Stoddard and John Avlon. They're both moderate republicans. Of course they're "offended" by Queen Maxine. I'm sick of the left having to put up with all the hate and lies we get from the right and not say anything back. Queen Maxine never advocated for violence. I'm hoping more millennials, most of whom love her, will be inspired to come out and vote in November.

Gays didn’t start to secure rights and respect until they became a vocal and yes, uncivil group. White Night Riots. Go Maxine. Need more of this. Nancy is a gutless cunt. Dump her.

Unamerican Maxine called out.

CNN: Schumer on Waters: Calling for harassment 'not American'

and guess what? Drumpf is a having a fucking rally in South Carolina tonight. You just know he'll bring up Maxine. I wonder if anyone in the crowd will yell out the n word

And there was the time this happened.

Before Trump, I didn't liker her. Now, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I didn't think she promoted violence, just public rebuke of awful people. Thin of Glenn Close's character at the opera in Dangerous Liaisons.

Very good comparison, hissing should become publicly acknowledged form of abuse when a trumpette is around

Michael Smerconish even blamed jurnalists for a lack of balance. He claims when he travels "all over the country' on numerous speaking engagements" people who never supported Trump even feel the media is too negative and disrespectful of him." And Jeffrey Toobin kicked Smerconish's ass. He said, "you know what? Too bad. We're journalists and we cover the news." This crap is getting out of hand. People feel frustrated they don't see Congress ding a damned thing. They don't see the courts doing anything to stop this. heckling Trump administration people didn't start until Trump started fucking with immigrants seeking asylum and taking away their kids. It is a manufactured crisis for political gain and now the other line of attack is manifesting itself. Because Trump cannot shake the negative press, he is attacking the press and his critics. He threatened Maxine Waters who is a member of Congress. So in the words of De Niro, "Fuck Trump." All Maxine is doing is telling people they have a right to protest. "Protest whenever you see them." Yes, Mama!!!

Showing ❤️ to Maxine!!

LOL! I LOVE how Miss Maxine reduces Chris Hayes to a little boy who is in trying to get a word in but he can't because mom has A LOT to say and to get off of her chest!

R117 = Trump Re-Election team

[quote]GOP lawmaker calls on Waters to resign, introduces censure measure

LOL! What piss ants...

A House Republican on Monday introduced a measure to censure Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and called on her to resign following her comments calling on Democrats to publicly confront officials in the Trump administration.

"If you think we're rallying now you ain't seen nothing yet," Waters told supporters at a rally in Los Angeles over the weekend. "If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) said the California Democrat’s comments do “not become somebody who's in Congress,” arguing disciplinary action is appropriate.

"So we just introduced it, we have some co-sponsors, but what she did was to basically incite people to come after and attack members of the president's cabinet,” Biggs told The Hill. “And also spread that out to more people.”

The measure calls on the congresswoman to resign, issue a formal apology to administration officials “for endangering their lives and sowing seeds of discord” and release a statement that neither harassment nor violence is an appropriate form of protest.

[quote]She is the very definition of a stereotypical black woman.

Okay... if you believe that than you should know better and not mess with her. LOL! She IS on the warpath now and gaining even more support!

Maxine Waters reads list of times Trump has called for violence

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) on Monday responded to President Trump’s claim that she called for violence against his supporters by reading a list of times that Trump has used violent rhetoric.

Waters appeared on MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes” after she said Trump misinterpreted her call on Saturday for protesters to confront Trump officials in public.

“He calls for more violence than anybody else,” the California lawmaker said.

She held up a piece of paper to read from a list of times Trump has spoken of violence. “Listen to some of his statements during his campaign and since he’s been president,” Waters said.

I've heard zero about Maxine Waters running for president, so R133 is just a concern trolling cunt.

That said, she's a great force against Trump in the Congress. Yeah, I remember the 'they go low, we go high' shit during the campaign. Hillary always went high. I see how that worked.

Fuck all this shit. We need to fight fire with fire. And fuck all the media pundits. So if Democrats don't fight, we let Trump win. Or if we do fight, we're giving him the moral high ground? After all the shit he's pulled? All the racist, violent shit he's said and done?

After this week of seeing pictures of babies in cages, I think anybody sane HAS IT ENOUGH.

Trump's base is always going to rally around him. They're human garbage and will never cease being so. But this rallies Democrats. We need to FIGHT.

Yes, it is real!

It is r137

R134 - 5 voters, really? Then why couldn't that be done with Hillary?

You're really insane if you think this woman stands a chance in 2020 now. There was a time, like a year ago, I thought she could do it, but the more she opens her mouth the more she disqualifies herself. Her own doing.

How many indictments, R137? How many guilty pleas? How many cooperating witnesses? How many in jail?

Who on earth is talking about Maxine running for POTUS in 2020? You idiots are the insane ones. You all are thinking that Maxine, Hillary, and whoever else nonsense is running for POTUS. We're no where near that. (KNOCK!) (KNOCK) the short-term objective is to get Trump out of office. We'l worry about the other stuff when we reach that bridge to cross.

[quote]do you realize there is only a year and a half until the 2020 election?

I was referring to this bit of stupidity in your earlier post, moron: "Comments like the ones she just made will makes things much easier for Trump to win reelection."

Which got exactly the mockery it deserved.

[quote]Some of us are still sane - wish I could say that for most other democrats, but they've lost their shit, and you've lost your shit.

Gee, let's look at the record, shall we?

[quote]Maxine can go fuck herself. Crazy hatful [sic] bitch.

Yeah, that's clearly a "sane" remark and totally not a sign of someone who has "lost their shit." Clearly. Unmistakably. How could anyone think otherwise?

R139- yet nothing on Trump. He's the one that's the president.

R137 DL and the democrats that have become deranged, violent and insane are going to drive me to vote independent.

R140 Do keep up. Someone posted "Maxine 2020!" Upthread and that was just a response to that delusional statement.

R142, dear, if some bitchy remarks on an anonymous board by people you don't know and will never meet cause you to change your vote, you are basically admitting that you're a moron.

[quote]yet nothing on Trump. He's the one that's the president.

Which means that he's the one in charge and the buck stops there. What we have on Trump, so far, is money-laundering and obstruction of justice, and Mueller's investigation isn't even close to being done.

[quote][R139]- yet nothing on Trump. He's the one that's the president.

And, you nor I know that yet. Who the hell are you that you feel that someone must answer to your time line. I would be sympathetic if it was something like the Republicans who have been going after Hillary for nearly 30 FRIGGIN' years and have NOTHING! No indictments. No guilty pleas. No one in jail. BUT, look what has been discovered in less than a year with Trump!

R136 Hilary did not always go high. She stooped to his level and just ran a bunch of negative campaign adds. When you act just as bad as they do, people sit out elections, either because they get sick of the whole thing, or they think both are equally bad.

Mother Maxine needs to bridge the gap and unite the Crips and Bloods.

[quote]Hilary did not always go high. She stooped to his level and just ran a bunch of negative campaign adds. When you act just as bad as they do, people sit out elections, either because they get sick of the whole thing, or they think both are equally bad.

She's attacked his policies, his racism, his sexism. There's a difference. And you know that. Or maybe you're really that stupid.

R144 - no so far there is NOTHING on trump. Just a lot of speculation but nothing that points directly to him.

That's why the Dems are losing it right now. Because so far there is nothing.

R143 - it's the delusional syndrome that's taken over the entire democratic party. it's beyond ridiculous. Nothing is getting accomplished because of it.

R101 people could certainly vote in mid terms

How wrong was this cover? The exact opposite happened.

[quote][R143] - it's the delusional syndrome that's taken over the entire democratic party. it's beyond ridiculous. Nothing is getting accomplished because of it.

Tell ya what... Don't you worry about what is happening over here on the Democrat side. Don't you worry or fret. We're fine. We got this.

[quote]no so far there is NOTHING on trump. Just a lot of speculation but nothing that points directly to him.

Maybe because Mueller hasn't finished his investigation? You're opinions and writing show you to be a fucktard.

She called for protest and for the left to be more vocal and confront politicians directly with their concerns- she did not call for physical violence towards any of them. On the other hand we have alt-right nut jobs running "Muslim free" gun shops selling shooting targets with the faces of Obama, Hillary, and Bernie on them. We have rallies of hundreds of "angry" white men with tiki torches screaming like mad lunatics, we have jackasses like them putting up effigies of Obama lynched and lit on fire, we unfortunately have a racist, insufferably narcissistic, petulant, egomaniac of a "president" who spent his entire campaign calling for actual violence towards the left, wreckless border policies tearing families apart to appease his white nationalist base. Bitches like Sarah whining about being kicked out of a restaurant when a little girl can't even sell some bottled waters without getting harassed and threatened to turn the police on her... oh the woahs of poor sweet little "non violent", "peaceful" white racist republicans, who are constantly trying to play the victim card whenever someone calls them out for their bullshit and lies...

R149 When you investigate the dealer on the corner, you don't keep him, or the press, in the loop about how your investigation is going. You spring it on him when you're done.

Who's supposed to fall for that dumbass argument?

And yet, when you tell anyone of them to use a soapy rag, some water, and wash themselves, they would swear that you had just drove a knife through their chest and tried to kill them.

What we have on Trump, so far, is money-laundering and obstruction of justice AND he took two scoops of ice cream. The bastard !

R152... I'll tell YOU what...

I'll bookmark this thread and do just as I did right after the election.

I'll bump it and tell you all once again "I told you so"

Think what you wish. Stay in your echo chamber. Keep acting crazy and delusional. It didn't get you anywhere before, why on earth do you think it will get you anywhere now?

I'm living in the real world - Maybe you should get off the computer once and awhile and check it out.

You'll have a completely new perspective on your fellow Americans - the one your holding onto is way off by the way you're acting.

[quote]Maxine speaks out against a fascist regime and all the pearly clutchers from Pelosi to CNN jump down her throat

All protesters have done is shout “shame, shame” and call Nielsen and Sanders out for being liars and bad public employees. It’s hardly like they’re running Republicans down with their Dodge Chargers or knifing people on trains. Yet Pelosi and the Democratic establishment are ready to shush her and find chants of “shame, shame” too harsh for public officials who spin outrageous lies as habit and enforce policies that R.I.P. families apart.

With friends like these, who needs enemies? The Democratic Party leadership is full of Neville Chamberlains willing to sell out their country for for a little less harsh kicking from the right.

[quote]Think what you wish. Stay in your echo chamber. Keep acting crazy and delusional. It didn't get you anywhere before, why on earth do you think it will get you anywhere now?

Oh facts are such difficult things. Haven't Democrats won almost every special election in 2017 and 2018? Keep supporting Trump, PA voter. I don't give a shit.

Sorry you live in a red state shithole surrounded by racists and Nazis that you can't see what's happening in the rest of the country.

[quote]R144 - no so far there is NOTHING on trump. Just a lot of speculation but nothing that points directly to him.

You don't read very well, do you? He was in charge of the campaign. If there was a conspiracy going on, the buck stops with him. And, of course, we do have MONEY-LAUNDERING and OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

[quote]That's why the Dems are losing it right now. Because so far there is nothing.

Um, the Democrats have been killing it at the polls since November, 2016, winning in red districts, winning 42 out of 47 state house races, winning in Alabama, winning in Missouri, winning in Wisconsin, winning in Pennsylvania. Democrats aren't losing and they aren't "losing it."

[quote]R143 - it's the delusional syndrome that's taken over the entire democratic party. it's beyond ridiculous. Nothing is getting accomplished because of it.

Dear, the Democrats aren't in charge; Republicans are. If nothing is getting accomplished, it's beyond foolish to blame it on Democrats.

[quote]I'll bookmark this thread and do just as I did right after the election.

Oh, do.

[quote]I'll bump it and tell you all once again "I told you so"

No, you almost certainly won't, because your statements here are incredibly foolish.

[quote]Think what you wish. Stay in your echo chamber. Keep acting crazy and delusional.

LOL... We aren't the ones acting "crazy and delusional." Not to mention that you appear to be stuck in 2016 and completely unaware of anything that has happened since.

Oh honey... even a broken clock is right twice a day. I'm so happy that you are so happy. Now, go and enjoy yourself because many of us have work to do.

"‘Muslim-Free’ Gun Store Sells Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton And Bernie Sanders Shooting Targets" - nothing violent here...

Nothing violent here either - will someone please explain to me how Water's comments are somehow comparable to shit like this?

Oh, shit! He's picked the WRONG person to mess with! Maxine DON'T PLAY!

"Pray 4 Assassin"... such classy peaceful loving alt-righters

R166, perhaps when she's done mopping the floor with him, she can boast about grabbing his sad little limp micropenis.

Go, MAXINE!!

So, let's see:

1. Republicans retiring in record numbers.

2. Huge numbers of viable Democratic candidates, more than any other mid-term election since we began measuring such things.

3. Democratic candidates far out-raising their Republican counterparts.

4. Democratic candidates winning big in the off-cycle elections, including 42 out of 47 state races, the majority in red districts, plus the win in Pennsylvania, the win in Alabama, multiple wins in Wisconsin, the win in New Hampshire, the win in Missouri, etc.

5. Democratic turnout up this year more than Republican turnout, when compared to the last midterm election.

6. Trump at historically low popularity levels.

7. Congressional Republicans at even lower popularity levels. Hell, even their base doesn't like them.

8. A very real chance of retaking the House. Even the Senate is in reach, which is something of a miracle, given the horribly unfavorable election map this year.

9. The one Republican accomplishment, the tax cuts, unpopular.

10. Republicans tried everything to win in Pennsylvania: Pelosi, Clinton, tax cuts, the economy, and nothing worked. They seriously plan to run against Hillary Clinton this year. Seriously. That's what their strategy is.

And, against all of this, you have ... nothing.

We're living in the real world - Maybe you should get off the computer once and [sic] awhile and check it out.

Wow, long and juicy thread - saving it. R85, “Bake a souffle, that'll show the right wing!” NO, work where they keep the cutlery, pots and poisons.

But it was art when a how-to kill George Bush movie was in the theaters.

And the stab to death Donald Trump play

And, you lost R172. Don't insult this board by coming here with that mess. You know the WHOLE story and outcome of that. DAMN! That's the best that you can do?

More peacefulness from the alt-right

Moron, an earlier version of that play featured Barack Obama.

Yes, because those two things are just exactly like the burning of a Barack Obama figure.

Moron.

I am not scrolling up this thread... Just wanted to give kudos to the volunteer who is going to hold her earrings when she goes for 45's weave...I completely love u!!

okay, seriously, enough with confusing Empowerment with Being Loud and Stupid. Over it.

This is a threat of real violence

For the idiot above regarding the "stab to death Donald Trump play ."

[quote]Uproar over Trump-themed 'Julius Caesar,' but none for Obama version at Guthrie 5 years ago

Get a fucking grip.

R179, the more photos you post of that event, the more obvious it is that it was just leftist theater.

Right, so you're either a parody or a moron, R181. Which is it?

Wow the flying monkey bots definitely got their marching orders today. No free styling for them. They're sticking to the script. All the greatest hits are on this thread. Of course, they're all really stupid and CAN'T improvise so they have to follow the playbook.

I used to like Nancy Pelosi but no more. Fuck her. Team Aunt Maxine.

Have we forgotten this already?...

ugh. these are your heroes... puke.

God, I hope he doesn't like repeal the 14th Amendment or anything. I mean, his anger knows no bounds !!

he attacked obama's citizenship for EIGHT FUCKING YEARS!

he can shut the fuck up

[quote] Of course, they're all really stupid and CAN'T improvise so they have to follow the playbook.

Ahem...

Obama is a mooselim

I saw the clip and Maxine really said nothing wrong, it can only be construed as violent if you are determined to hear it that way.

Would have been great though if she had just said "Follow the example of that restaurant owner and stand up for yourselves. Let your Congress know you are mad as hell and you won't take it anymore."

Meghan McCain needs to shut the fuck up too. She is referencing Michelle Obama, who has nothing to do with what Maxine Waters said. Just because they are both black women and democrats doesn't mean they speak for each other, bitch!

R191: I love these right wing skanks who demand Democrats be held to a higher standard than themselves. God they make me sick.

Meanwhile, we've got Iowa Representative Steve King chilling with certified Nazis;

Dana Rohrbacher openly taking money from the Russian mob;

And several US Congressmen spending the week of the 4th of July [bold]IN FUCKING RUSSIA[/bold].

Anybody calling for their censure yet?

We need to up our game. We ought to be digging out dirt on a lot of these fuckers. Trump himself lied on Maxine claiming he was inciting violence. I guess there are a lot of GOP members of Congress who ought to read up on the First Amendment. So should their fucking POTUS.

America as we knew it has ended. We’ll have to get accustomed to Russian ways. Who knows, maybe it’ll be better!

R195, I don't think a lot of people get it. Russia is a rogue nation. Thanks to modern technology, Putin and a handful of oligarchs who run the show are now exporting their brand of "government" all over the world. it involves crushing freedom of the Press, free speech, and freedom to assemble. They have bribed all t he right people, made deals promising riches to the few, and everyone else is on their own. They hate Gays, Blacks, Muslims, and women.

"crushing freedom of the Press, free speech, and freedom to assemble."

Name one single example of anyone on the Left experiencing the above.

YOU GOT THE WRONG ONE, BITCH!

Maxine for Speaker of the House in 2018!!!

R197 Police arrested over 200 anti trump protesters on Trump's inauguration day. The justice department under Trump decided to take the extraordinary action of filing felony charges against them. They were months in court before the charges were dismissed for 7 of them. I think they're still some fighting the charges today.

Another example was when Jeff Sessions had a woman arrested for laughing at him. It took months before the case was eventually dropped.

That's examples of CRUSHING freedom of press, speech & assembly.

Is this entire thread a parody of something?

[quote] Is this entire thread a parody of something?

Yes. It's a parody of the America we used to know and love.

Under the current reign of terror, we are living in some alternate reality.

Someone, please wake me up from this nightmare, where donald j. dump is pretending to be the President of the United States, and some slovenian whore is the "first lady," and he is doing all he can to destroy every American institution we've ever known.

Please don't let it be true, please don't let it be true, please don't let it be true....

[quote] Is this entire thread a parody of something?

Apparently so, but Tina Fey did it better...

People are actually saying that a member of congress should shut up rather than call out an administration actively engaged in gutting the constitution.

BTW Manafort, gates, Zwaan, Papadapos, Flynn have pled guilty/going to trial. I believe 18 more indictments and 110 + criminal charges tell us Russia did in fact install trump with the compliance of the Republican Party.

r196 Russia doesn't have to export it's ideology to us that is being done for them by American Oligarchs you can thank the Kochs and all the rest of our American billionaires who have purchased our Congressman and our Supreme Court. Why blame Russia that just obscures the guilty parties? We have plenty of treasonous motherfuckers who are legal citizens born and bred here they have destroyed our constitution for the sake of power and money.

[quote]Oligarchic rule, as Aristotle pointed out, is a deviant form of government. Oligarchs care nothing for competency, intelligence, honesty, rationality, self-sacrifice or the common good. They pervert, deform and dismantle systems of power to serve their immediate interests, squandering the future for short-term personal gain. “The true forms of government, therefore, are those in which the one, or the few, or the many, govern with a view to the common interest; but governments that rule with a view to the private interest, whether of the one, of the few or of the many, are perversions,” Aristotle wrote. The classicist Peter L.P. Simpson calls these perversions the “sophistry of oligarchs,” meaning that once oligarchs take power, rational, prudent and thoughtful responses to social, economic and political problems are ignored to feed insatiable greed. The late stage of every civilization is characterized by the sophistry of oligarchs, who ravage the decaying carcass of the state.

[quote]Oligarchs, though they speak of deconstructing the administrative state, actually increase deficits and the size and power of law enforcement and the military to protect their global business interests and ensure domestic social control. The parts of the state that serve the common good wither in the name of deregulation and austerity. The parts that promote the oligarchs’ power expand in the name of national security, economic growth and law and order.

Sound familiar? Stop with the Russian shit. If you have a brain in your head and can read this post and the post at 204, it should be clear to you that everything that is happening is happening because billionaire Americans have purposely dismantled our government. They may be making money along with the Russian oligarchs but the Russians have nothing to do with how fucked up this country is right now. You need to stop saying it because that means people are not seeing that American billionaires are at fault.

Donald is trying to destroy the last remaining branch of government not enthralled by him - the Judiciary. By demanding an end to Due Process For any group is to launch an assault on the core of our Democracy. Every single human that sets foot on American soil is guaranteed Due Process/justice by the Constitution of the United States of America. It may vary in form but it does occur.

This SUPER NOVA OF STUPID in the WH and his entire SUPER NOVA OF IDIOTS are attacking the total underpinning of our country every single day,

Don has 2 policies: Chaos and White Supremacy. He has no intention of participating in Democracy - he has no idea what it is - and he wants it To STOP RIGHT NOW, HE DOESNT UNDERSTAND WHY HE JUST CANT MAKE THE LAWS.

As Americans we must act up, fight back, let these neo fascists understand we will NOT TOLERATE THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR DEMOCRACY. The Rule of Law is all we have left.

Trump no longer consults with the Secty of Defense, he no longer cares what the Joint Chiefs recommend. Mattis said NO to NK ending of US readiness exercises -Trump did it anyway. That is just one example. Disrupt, yes do it.

THe Kochs, Mercers, white supremacy and Putin are interconnected.

Example: manafort worked 10 years in Ukraine. He divided the country. In the north, the Russian speakers, in the south the Ukrainian speakers. He pitted them against each other.

Sound familiar?

He brings those techniques to trumps campaign.

Example: Mercer and Cambridge Analitica. Mercer uses his company to mine data that he turns over to Russian computer specialists. They target voters with ads on Facebook. They pump propaganda through channels like infowars.

Example the Republican Party sends Secretaries of states, Alabama, Ohio, Etc, to Russia to learn to write ambiguous ballots, lose voter roles, and hack voting machines (hello Roger Stone)

The Kochs, Mercers think it's great because now they can institute a theocracy using these techniques.

Putins happy to help out. He's like "I destroy NATO and claim Europe as mine, plus oil."

R207 Nearly everything you say is fair enough - but cite reference for GOP “sending Secretaries of State to Russia to learn to write ambiguous ballots...”

What is yr source for this claim?

Maxine can kick his butt into the dumpster he belongs!

This is one of the best things on the internet.

I have to admit it..Maxine is our finest living comedienne.

In this age we're living in R200., parody is effectively dead. You're living it. Witness the caftan-clad ravings of the shriekers on this thread. DL has become a parody of freerepublic.com.

Sad.

John Merrill of Alabama, R208, for example.

I'm curious what you think Mueller's investigating? He's indicted 19 Russian agencies/individuals.

Page, papadapaplius, Zwaan gates,manafort, Cohen, trump jr, the British talent agent all link to Russia.

Why do you think Mueller has the bank records from Deutsche Bank?

Ryan is on tape saying trump is paid by the Russians.

I dont doubt Mueller at all R212. I have followed legal profs on Muellers filings and interviewees. Do you have more than the Ala. SOS?

This is important.

The demographic makeup of this thread is easy to determine.

I honestly did not realize we had so many black DLers. Unfortunately they are not seeing the BIG picture because the smaller more obvious one is so tantalizing.

There is a reason why this thread is not full of Trumpsters registering their "disgust" over Auntie's words.

Maxine, you go gurrrl!!! You have more balls than the men in your party!

R214, I’m not black. And I’ve posted on this thread in favor of her, most of my white friends feel the same way. You sound very blunted in your reasoning

Maxine is a crook. She's been voted the most corrupt member of Congress repeatedly by liberal watchdog organizations. The minute a Repug is attacked violently Democrats will be blamed thanks to this moron. Just in time for the mid-term elections. Repugs will run with it.

[quote] People are actually saying that a member of congress should shut up rather than call out an administration actively engaged in gutting the constitution.

That's not what she's doing.

I don't know abut our SoS's going to Russia, but it has been verified that Russians were sent over here to learn how to deal with ballots, and to make sure their troll farms were authentic. They were sending them here in 2015 and even earlier so they could understand process.

Yes, indeed ever since the SCOTUS decided Citizens United, we have been spiraling towards dismantling government, starving it with irresponsible tax cuts, and formalizing the corporate take over led by the Kochs. The ideological underpinnings, the Rightward trend, the stuff that gets the base fired up and distracted, like the white supremacists, anti gays, anti muslims, fake immigration crisis at the border etc. etc. etc. are ploys to divide and manipulate voters while you strip them of healthcare, a social safety net, and privatize everything.

Putin is very much involved. He wants to weaken us. Trump is implementing his wishes in every way possible. The fight with Canada, and Mexico, is deliberate not accidental. It will isolate us. De stabilizing NATO, starting trade wars, tarriffs, etc. all designed to weaken America. So do not ever come here and say Putin and Russia aren't part of this. They are very much a part of it, and it is going on all over Europe too.

This is happening in concert and in cooperation with Russia and other Ultra Right entities world wide. If you want to see what is going to happen here, look at Turkey, and all the changes Erdogan is making internally. You better believe Trump is watching Turkey very closely. It is his governing model. It's "phase one."

Putin was the main beneficiary of the Trump / North Korea gambit, and he is loving the tariffs and trade wars. Putin doesn't want to see China get too strong. He is on a collision course with China. And the Kochs are very pissed off about the trade war and the tariffs.

Maxine for president!

Why does Trump’s mouth do that carp thing?

Jesus Christ, some of you really need to take your meds....or get a doctor to prescribe you something for your nerves.

If someone said citizens should confront Aunt Lydia, y'all would cheer.

No one would be pleading for civility and going high, or arguing that this isn't "the way we do things."

R216 So noted!

If you were to poll Republicans and ask them what would be their fondest dream come true, they would likely tell you for the US to associate Rep. Maxine Waters as the #1 spokesperson/surrogate for the DNC.

She would surpass even black male and Muslim Keith Ellison, because Rep Waters, like Hillary Clinton has the "woman hating other women" thing going for her. Fair or not, that is a fact.

How did this happen?

r81: Bring it on, you trashy motherfucker. And don't be surprised when we shoot back.

Unfortunately, Maxine Waters is a collossally stupid woman. Liberals shouldn't be so quick to anoint her a spokesperson.

[quote]The minute a Repug is attacked violently

It might be time for that

R81 is already blocked it seems. . .

A pregnant widow. .

R227 You might want to review the thread, "Why is Mississippi Red when it is so Black" before you draw your Glocks.

R228, Maxine is not my "spokesperson." She is anotherLiberal voice out here, raising hell. I happen to agree with her point of view. She is not a stupid woman. She is mouthy. She has always been mouthy. One thing you might not realize is that unlike Conservatives who require a script so they can follow marching orders, Liberals know who they are, what they believe and what they stand for and while they may appreciate getting support they have no real need of anyone speaking for them. They can speak for themselves. I welcome Maxine's comments. In essence she is saying, " do not be afraid of these people do not let them bully you. " I like that about her.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

R231, this is not a pregnant widow this is a society devolving before our very eyes. We're not in the midst of change we're in freefall.

It's possible to be both mouthy and stupid, r233, as I'm sure you have reason to know.

Ms. Waters is saying something more than "do not let [these people] bully you. If you want to welcome her message, knock yourself out. I don't wish her to become the voice of my party, even though god knows we need a strong voice.

For those who have not seen Miss Maxine's response to the MOTUS

Ya know... I support Miss Maxine but my support is becoming deeper. These assholes who are criticizing her now are the SAME assholes who don't say a word when this idiot President spews much, much, worse;

Antonio Sabato Jr.: Rep. Maxine Waters is the 'hustler of hate'

Actor Antonio Sabato Jr. called California's Rep. Maxine Waters "the hustler of hate" and called for her imprisonment. "Promoting hate and division and actually attacking the administration or anybody who's involved with this administration. That's unheard-of. She should be put behind bars and throw away the key," Sabato said.

Feud between Trump and Rep. Maxine Waters escalates: Megyn Kelly roundtable

NBC’s Craig Melvin, NBC News political analyst Elise Jordan and New York Times investigative reporter Megan Twohey join Megyn Kelly TODAY to discuss the heightening discourse between Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters and President Trump. “You cannot demand demand civility by being uncivil. You cannot,” Megyn says.

They're so full of shit...

#Team Maxine all the way! You go gurl!

I am not black as R214 suggested. On an unrelated note, I cannot see R214, probably for a good reason.

Nope not black either. Camp Maxine!!

I'm not Black either. You go, Maxine and kick their asses!!!! Those fuckers in Congress, the GOP, want to censure her. Yeah, there's a whole lot of people wanna pounce on Maxine because if they keep the narrative going, we won't be talking about Stolen Children.

R242 Too bad most will not read the piece you have linked. It states quite eloquently what many of us have been trying to say for the past year, but as the author writes, all DL does is plug their ears while saying, "Lalalalalalala I can't hear you."

Not all of us are Nazis, not even Trump.

R242 Come at you harder? This isn't the hood hon. Most of us don't "come at" the other posters here.

Well-written post R219, though I think that you are either intentionally or inadvertently ignoring who the main puppet masters are. They are not far-right Christians, and they are not Putin.

As for Russia's meddling in the election, if it's true, that's our own stupid fault. If you arrogantly leave your fort unguarded and unarmed when the enemy comes to attack, whose fault is that? Perhaps we should be asking ourselves who was responsible for the security of the information and why it wasn't actually secure. Why isn't anyone talking about that?

'Someone, please wake me up from this nightmare,'

This is how you live every day? Get some therapy please. Pathetic.

How many times has Paul Ryan asked Trump to apologize for any of his racist remarks? Exactly, zero times. How many times has Paul Ryan asked others to apologize to Trump? Paul Ryan is racist scum just like his orange master. This is the real news here.

Funny how r245 just assumes someone is from "the hood".

Typical deplorable trash.

[quote]Paul Ryan is racist scum just like his orange master.

But, but, but... he dated a black girl at one time...

So they want to censure Maxine, who has been speaking truth to power (yeah I know hackneyed phrase but accurate) but remain cravenly silent on Trump's ignorance, divisiveness and sins. Got it.

Have all you fierce tough fuck-em-up revolutionary heroes ever thought of forming a paramilitary unit ? Once you get past the Janet Jackson uniform choice committee, and figure out which brand of Chardonnay bottles you wanna make Molotov cocktails from, you should be well on your way to ruling the streets.

Cotton-picking mind isn’t racist, and yes, Maxine is a crook per liberal watchdog groups. Now go fuck yourself.

Actually cotton-picking mind is quite offensive to blacks. Do you not understand the correlation? Cotton-pickers, aka slaves, get it now??

I have to admit, my grandmother (who died in 1987) used to say that about people, "he's out of his cotton-picking mind!" I had no idea until recently where that phrase came from, and what it really meant.

So please don't use that phrase!

Spoken like true trash, r258.

I thought r243 meant "come" as in "orgasm".

Try harder, r255. This is Datalounge, not i-village.

'Typical deplorable trash.'

You know Hillary cringes every time some frau uses the term that was her lowest point and dumbest move in her campaign. But some of you still think it's a witty retort.

Get. Some. Therapy.

r257 agreeing with herself. Sweetie, you are messy.

r264, your pussy stinks.

That the best you got? Pathetic.

r255 = homophobic frau.

At least you didn't deny it, r267.

Hillary didn't invent the word 'trash', r264.

@R264, why don't YOU get some therapy. You can't let Hillary go.

[quote]At least you didn't deny it,

Of course they can't deny it. The truth hurts and that's why it get next to them so badly.

r255/r258 - homophobic frau.

You're right, r269. She didn't deny her stinky snatch.

R234, you chose not to read the whole quote

[quote]. You know Hillary cringes every time some frau uses the term that was her lowest point and dumbest move in he

Trumpster, your lack of punctuation gives you away

Whatever Mother says is correct. I can't agree with her more!

Sad, sad, sad. Especially if any of you are women and think "Your pussy stinks" is a classy retort. And not yet another insult to the female anatomy. Sickos.

And I'm a writer, asshole, so why don't you show me the "lack of punctuation" in that sentence. Just ran out and got a new wireless keyboard so I could use proper quotes again but that is not the sentence you quoted. I'd be curious as to how you would correct it.

r258, you're also very good at being an ignorant douchebag.

ALL Trump supporters are very good at that, r279.

thanks, R204.

I can recommend How Democracy Ends by David Runciman. He writes about the coup as 'executive aggrandisement' , which is a stealth coup if you like, and the 'managed democracy' that Putin operates in Russia.

The last 20 or so posts on this thread might have been recorded on a 6th grade playground. Is it just not possible to have a reasoned discussion on this board?

Sheesh.

r278: Bitch, please.

r278, your punctuation sucks. Figure it out yourself, dumbass.

Nope. Bet you're a notorious comma splicer.

No doubt half as bright as you imagine yourself too.

You're right, r284. Her grammar sucks, too.

[quote] As for Russia's meddling in the election, if it's true, that's our own stupid fault. If you arrogantly leave your fort unguarded and unarmed when the enemy comes to attack, whose fault is that? Perhaps we should be asking ourselves who was responsible for the security of the information and why it wasn't actually secure. Why isn't anyone talking about that?

Because all roads lead to the Obama administration.

Obama cyber chief confirms 'stand down' order against Russian cyberattacks in summer 2016

Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, asked about a “Russian Roulette” passage in which one of Daniel’s staff members, Daniel Prieto, recounted a staff meeting shortly after the cyber coordinator was ordered by SUSAN RICE, President Obama’s national security adviser, to stop his efforts and “stand down.” This order was in part because Rice feared the options would leak and “box the president in.”

“I was incredulous and in disbelief,” Prieto is quoted as saying in the book. “It took me a moment to process. In my head, I was like, did I hear that correctly?” Prieto told the authors he then spoke up, asking Daniel: “Why the hell are we standing down? Michael, can you help us understand?”

[quote]things aren't particularly bad, folks

Yeah, they really are. And there are no signs of "it gets better," at least until we take over at least one House of Congress later this year.

[quote] Actually cotton-picking mind is quite offensive to blacks.

No it’s not. Blacks use the term. It only became offensive in the last year thanks to SJW idiots.

How many voters are going to see the victory over "your cotton picking mind" as an actual advance in American culture.

Really, R289? You should tell that to Rick Sanchez, Julia Reed, and Lou Dobbs, all of whom were criticized for using that term. Not "in the last year" but in 2010. And hey, guess what? All three of them used the term in reference to a member of the black community.

You should also check with the Urban Dictionary, which states:

[quote]A Black person. A reference to Africans, used as slave-labor, picking cotton on Southern United States plantations prior to the American Civil War (1861 - 1865).

An entry that was added in 2008. But hey, I'm sure you know better than all of us.

Exactly R287. That article was published 6 days ago. I don't remember this hearing being covered at all by MSM. I wonder why that is?

[quote]I think this can turn very ugly and very physical fast. I think Waters is playing with a volatile situation.

You mean Your Supreme Leader is and has been playing this way. Things got ugly a long time ago and it wasn't Waters who started it. Stop acting like you live under a rock.

[quote]Before Miss Maxine starts a second Civil War, she needs to remember who has the guns and who doesn't. Miss Maxine shouldn't write a check her ass can't cash.

Yes because a older black woman living in the US needs to be reminded who her 'betters' are, and who has the ability to put a bullet in her head. Because she alone will start a second Civil War - a BLACK congresswoman. As if.

People need to be reminded that most of those 'that have the guns' can't shoot straight and even if they try will be overpowered immediately by the powers with far greater firepower. You need to remember who has the MONEY and who doesn't. It ain't MAGA-loving Trump country.

[quote] You should also check with the Urban Dictionary,

Urban Dictionary??! Bwahahaha!!!

Dear, we already know you're an idiot; you don't have to keep proving it. The definition was entered into the Urban Dictionary in [bold]2008[/bold]. Do try to keep up, won't you?

“Black woman! How dare you? Now apologize to the white man, I mean orange man, immediately!”

Maxine is gonna get slapped by some redneck!!!

Is that racist and homophobic frau still stinking up the thread?

r258 = Dee Plorable

R300 = Peggy Hill, giggling to herself over her "Musings" column.

So fucking embarrassed for some of you.

I see Stinky Snatch is still here at r301.

LOL at r279.

Anybody who thinks they can get Auntie Maxine to hold their tongue is in for a rude awakening.

And might I remind you deplorabitches that members of the United States Congress will be spending July 4th weekend [bold]IN MOTHERFUCKING RUSSIA[/bold]?

Followed closely by Cheeto's playdate with Putin himself?

Now is not the time for polite behavior.

r258 = racist trash

Eat shit, you rancid bigot

Well said, r304.

Congrats, R306, you are officially the Most Unattractive person on DL. Wear the crown with pride, you stupid cunt.

Talk about your DFNs.

R308, I’ll happily wear the title, you bigoted cunt

Congrats r308, you STILL have the stinkiest pussy.

r278: Oh honey, just because your cowardly ass talks shit on anonymous message boards doesn't mean you're a writer.

She's still here, r299. Everybody knows she wipes back to front.

Maxine is crooked? Really? We have the Trump family in the damned White House and you want to tell me about Maxine being crooked? Get the fuck out of here.

Dropped by him 13 minutes ago:

Donald J. Trump Verified account @realDonaldTrump

Congratulations to Maxine Waters, whose crazy rants have made her, together with Nancy Pelosi, the unhinged FACE of the Democrat Party. Together, they will Make America Weak Again! But have no fear, America is now stronger than ever before, and I’m not going anywhere!

Trump's Twitter tantrum is the reason why I want every second of his downfall and demise to be televised worldwide. I want him to get dragged out of the White House kicking and screaming. He should be aware of everybody watching his "fall from grace" and that his high almighty boasting just leads to a bigger and more humiliating fall for guys like him.

Trump is feeling pretty damned strong after the Supremes upheld his Muslim travel ban. A Bernie Bot Social Democrat won the NY Primary unseating the incumbent Democrat, and older guy who was threatening to run against Pelosi. While the media hypes the win as some huge signal, it may simply be that in that district of Queens having a Latino woman in Congress makes sense. It's not nearly as big a deal as the media and the pundits want you to believe. The district is solidly Blue. Iseriously dubt a Republican will upset the natural order in Queens. The danger is choosing extreme Left Democratic nominees in red districts.

[quote]He should be aware of everybody watching his "fall from grace" and that his high almighty boasting just leads to a bigger and more humiliating fall for guys like him.

The ratings. The ratings....

That trashy bitch is still here, r299. But the trashy bitch is busy right now, fingering herself to the sounds of Rush Limbaugh's podcast.

He's really messing with the wrong one.

I read that this was a VERY well-attended event.

Reclaim and resist

R316 Exactly what do you see as his "Fall from grace?" The Left has hated him from the jump, so there doesn't seem to be any "fall" in his popularity or numbers with them. He is more popular than ever with the Right, and the numbers show that as well.

So has the fall from grace begun, or are you anticipating it in the future?

[quote]Congratulations to Maxine Waters, whose crazy rants have made her, together with Nancy Pelosi, the unhinged FACE of the Democrat Party. Together, they will Make America Weak Again! But have no fear, America is now stronger than ever before, and I’m not going anywhere!

Stay classy, asshat.

That's the exact same BS alt-right douchebags like Milo Y. pulled for years. "OMG, look at these UNHINGED Nazis who have the nerve to disagree with me! UNHINGED! I spit in their face and they act UNHINGED! I mock their beliefs and they get UNHINGED".

And fuck Pelosi for playing along and turning on their, supposed, own. And as a thank you Trump name checks her and calls them both unhinged. That's the "reward" Pelosi gets from acting passive and civil. I have a million times more respect for Maxine Waters who opens her loud and sassy mouth than Nancy "Impeachment is off the table" Pelosi.

I agree

R324 Yes but Trump is the most unhinged of all. According to his friends, he has no core values. I wonder how much of his act will change if the Democrats take control. If he becomes Mr New York Democrat again with Pelosi in charge I will laugh when he goes along with her agenda.

R316 So much for the fall from grace. After he appoints yet another conservative judge, he will be gold for 6 more years with his party.

There will be no getting rid of him now.

Yeah, but see, R327, his party doesn't have enough people to reelect him in 2020. He needs the rest of us and, so far, we aren't playing.

Dee Plorable is back at r327.

Hey Dee, enjoy it while you can. The country goes blue in November.

It's okay, we'll all take pity and send you free toilet paper even though you don't use it. (Cause you can't reach your asshole)

Hi Dee at r327. Isn't there a cousin you should be fucking?

Cousins are on the weekend. Today Dee gets mom and dad.

You're right r332! And every Friday night she gets the pet hog.

Your DNA is showing R333.

Alright Miss Maxine!

"“Mr. Chairman, if you want to talk about civility, you start with the president of the United States and you implore him not to continue to promote violence, not to continue to promote divisiveness,” Waters said."

She ain't backing down.

CALL YOUR REPS AND SENATOES AND DEMAND THAT THERE WILL BE NO SCOTUS UNTIL THE ELECTION!!!!

Wig's crooked.

The modern Democrat party.

Your morals are crooked, Miss Loren/@R337.

I think there's a place for the rough stuff. It doesn't concern me at all when a De Niro or Samantha Bee rant. And for Maxine to say we ought to be confronting these rotten pigfuckers is fine with me. But I also like the subtler forms, the goading, and the sort of underhanded pokes we give Trump that cause him to get more and more crazy in public.

But here is the thing. And Chuck and Nancy better start acknowledging this publicly. They are members of Congress. Not even the POTUS has the right to publicly threaten them. And no fucking security guard or cop has the right to deny them entry to these detention centers. I'm sick of the timidity of the Democrats. I'm 1000 % with Maxine.

R338, fine with me, what ever works getting the deplorable to slide under their rocks again

why isn't EVERY Democrat talking like this? Trump has been a complete piece of shit to this entire country, but mostly to Democrats of course. Why is anyone holding up these stupid fake standards of "respect" that neither Trump nor anyone around him upholds? What the fuck does it take for Democrats to start giving a big fuck you to forced, one-sided civility? If the Huckabeast ever holds another press conference, can somebody please ask her why anyone should believe a fucking word that comes out of her mouth? Or her boss's?

EVERY god damned Facebook post on my feed of over a thousand friends was about this, r342. Everyone is talking about this.

Don't get mad, Dee at r334.

[quote] Wig's crooked.

So is the wearer.

My M16 would look pretty good shoved up r81/r232's cunt.

You'll look like a pretty popsicle.

LOL at r312.

I guess "civil war" is the buzz among Trumpanistas lately. The Alt Right is doing their best to incite it, and the Deplorables are discussing it openly online.

Disgusting

bump

"Censure! Censure! Censure! HER!!!!"

Dirty hood rat!

r352 = Stinky cousin-fucker.

Fuck Trump. Fuck the deplorables.

Maxine Waters Responds To Death Threats: “If you shoot at me, you’d better shoot straight.” “I have no fear. I’m in this fight.”

It seems that whatever trump and his repub cohorts are guilty of, they just turn it around and accuse the Democrats of their dirty deeds and worse. It's all part of the game. FOX and trump's tweets just keep pounding in those lies and propaganda. I'm not sure if I like Maxine Water's method either. I think it could hurt Democrats in the long run, as any kind of retaliation or giving it back to trump, will be used as ammunition, to be emphasized loudly. It could backfire. There's got to be a smarter, more effective way to get tough with these SOBs. The repubs have bullying and dirtiness down to a science. They are much better at it than the Democrats, unfortunately.

Maxine Waters almost makes Trump sympathetic.

Okay... call me hysterical. Call me whatever. But, with all due respect R356, I'm beginning to even question postings like yours. WAIT! Here me out...

This Republican, (right-wing) campaign on the internet is SO organized and so slick it is beginning to make me question everything! Is it the Russians? The Republicans? The White nationalists? Or, all of the above? Just this incident with Miss Maxine has caused the right-wing to swarm down on the internet like locusts. The last time that I recall seeing anything like it was the recent Joy Reid attack. And, it comes from all angles and hits an individual in different ways too.

Now to you R356; while your concern could be quite genuine and legitimate my radar went off as I read your post;

[quote]It's all part of the game. FOX and trump's tweets just keep pounding in those lies and propaganda. I'm not sure if I like Maxine Water's method either.

It just comes across to me as very passive/aggressive. Are you REALLY concerned? Or, are you a shill trying to sow any type of discord in the resistance? I KNOW IT SOUNDS STUPID but that was my feeling. Am I making any type of sense to anyone else here? Of course you don't have to agree and laugh at me but do you understand the point that I am making?

Why is all the Retrumplican party making a pilgrimage to Russia on July 4th? Will they be tweeting about Maxine from there?

Because R359, their master has demanded it.

What would’ve happened had President Obama & his Family, and his key Cabinet Members, gone to RUSSIA on The FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!??????

In a perfect Union these traitors would be dragged into the street and horse-whipped.

I will never stop imagining that the day, when US Marshals round-up each one of the conspirators in this pit of treasonous vipers and drag them out of their offices and into prison, is coming.

I do not believe they will destroy America.

You're right, r358. The Republicans/deplorables are VERY nervous, and they have been infesting every liberal website they can find.

And I saw right through r356, just like you did.

You guys truly have lapsed into full on paranoia.

No, The Republicans are not nervous; quite the contrary, they are jubilant. I have never seen anything like it.

And their fondest wish is to continue having Maxine Waters serve as the mouthpiece for the Dem Party. They would never do a thing to shut her up or bring her down.

She literally is the best thing that is happened since the honeymoon period after Inauguration Day.

I get the feeling that you don't really understand how she is viewed by a great deal of the country. She makes Al Sharpton look like a lovable, cuddly old uncle.

r362: Bitch, please. Go sell that shit elsewhere.

I'm not selling shit. I am letting you know from the inside how very wrong you are.

Go Maxine!!! Take 'em all to school!!

R358... I assure you that I'm none of the above in your post (Republican, Russian or Alt Right). I am VERY concerned with this situation with trump and the repubs. I watched Bill Maher the other night, and he put it perfectly. He said, "When you're in danger, and you're about to be pushed into a car...fight to never get in the car, because if you do.. you're done.". He said that we are now in the car, which I thought was a perfect analogy. I'm frustrated and scared for the future. The damage to our country can last for a generation or two... or longer. Our democracy is at risk.. like I've never seen it before. The Democrats frustrate me, too.. to allow this to happen, even though are not in power now. Maybe Maxine's way is right? I just think that with the low down dirtiness of the repub party, that it might backfire. We do need a very strong resistance, but in a smarter way? Believe me, there has to be a good fight now. It's getting dangerous. Protests and demonstrations, and voting have never been more crucial.

The last post to R358, is a response by me, R256

From the inside of what, r364, your meth lab?

Go fuck your cousin, r364.
