Trump deserves impeachment for Iran deal withdrawal: Waters
An avid proponent of throwing everythng against the wall in the hope that something at some point will stick, poor dear.
[PRESSTV] US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
deserves impeachment over his decision to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers, says a top Democratic politician.

Representative Maxine Waters
U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district, serving since 1991, a total of 26.44141203897001 years. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the most senior of the 12 black women currently serving in the United States Congress, is a member and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Before becoming a member of Congress she served in the California Assembly, to which she was first elected back when Disco was in flower, in 1976, which would make it 41.43935865087966 years. She has been a politician for virtually all her adult life. If she was brighter she'd be a Communist...
'>Comrade Maxine Waters
, a firm critic of Trump, said in a tweet on Wednesday that the Republican president "thinks he knows better" than all the negotiators and major American allies ‐ the UK, La Belle France and Germany‐who negotiated the deal with Iran under former President Barack Obama
They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them...
"Trump, further isolating the United States, thinks he knows better than our negotiators and all of our global allies who agreed to the Iran deal," she tweeted. "How long do we have to suffer his gigantic ego and narcissistic behavior? Impeachment is the only answer."

Trump declared Tuesday that his country would pull out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, saying Washington would not only reinstate the anti-Iran sanctions lifted as part of the deal, but will also "be instituting the highest level of economic" bans against the Islamic Theocratic Republic.

#4  You mean the deal 0bumhole neglected to run by Congress?

She is only in the House of Representatives, gorb, so it isn’t fair to expect her to understand the responsibilities of the Senate.

#5  Yes, Maxine, the American people know better too. That's why we voted for Trump.

What Happened to Carter Page?
h/t Instapundit
[AmGreatness] I miss Carter Page. It seems like years since I have heard anything about the American businessman who briefly volunteered at Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

You remember Carter Page. He was, along with the micturating prostitutes, one of the stars of The Dossier™, the as-told-to novella by Christopher Steele, the leakin’-lyin’ former British spook who was commissioned by Glenn Simpson at Fusion GPS to compose this gritty fantasy.

...Just about all major political campaigns engage in opposition research. It’s not nice. But it is business as usual. The great thing about being a Democrat, though, is that you can surreptitiously pay for opposition research on your opponent and then, even when the "research" is only hearsay‐what would your history teacher say, Mr. Steele?

Sources, sources!‐even if it’s just made-up gossip, you can encourage your friends in the CIA and other intelligence services to vouch for it and get the FBI to petition for and receive multiple secret court warrants to spy on American citizens who just happen to be connected with your political rival, thus giving you access to your rival’s communications and setting up a pretext for investigating him later on. Nicely done!

...Had Hillary Clinton been elected president‐I feel a little queasy even saying that, like the characters in the Harry Potter novels who avoid uttering the name "Voldemort"‐if she-who-will-not-be-named had been elected, we would never have known about these shenanigans. Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak would have covered the entire saga and Hillary would have gone about her business destroying America. Amazing.

It’s great being a Democrat. What can you not do with impunity? Drive a girl off a bridge into the water, leave her to suffocate, while you try to get an aide to take the rap and you wait 10 hours before telling the police what happened? No problem. Been there, done that.

How about running the State Department out of an unsecure server in your suburban house, then lying about it and erasing the server and some 30,000 emails the authorities had subpoenaed? Easy as pie. The FBI likes you, so you can get your own people to search the server and declare it A-OK. You don’t have to answer questions under oath and your top aides get to sit in on your interview with the FBI and keep their laptops and smartphones.

...We haven’t heard much about Carter Page recently because, after more than a year of sleuthing, Robert Mueller and his pack of bloodhounds have turned up‐nothing. Nada. Riens. Nihil. Instead they have been sniffing around Stormy Daniels, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, and anyone else who might have something, anything, compromising about the president.

This illegal partisan witch hunt had a few off-Broadway moments before Carter Page stepped on to the stage, but his story was at the center of the first prime-time episode. Where did he go? He was the pretext for mobilizing the leviathan that is the police power of the United States of America against private citizens. All those G-men and wiretaps and raids and subpoenas. It all revolved around a beta-minus actor in this drama who never had anything other than a tenuous relationship to Donald Trump or his campaign and who was certainly not making multi-million dollar deals with highly placed Russians. The Narrative has moved on from Carter Page. There was nothing there.

#2  Page was alleged to be the target of FISC Russian-Trump look-see. He now appears to be no longer of interest.
