#1 And this babbling plonker is a lawmaker? Little wonder our country is in the shape it's in.

#2 In the spirit of fairness, we'll block the investigative attempts in the same way Obama did.

#3 Sunday on MSNBC’s "AM Joy," discussing her multiple calls to impeach President Donald Trump, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said, "I think that it’s there, we just have to dig deeper, do the investigation and find it."

What you say Maxine sounds a great deal like a lynching but then again the Donks know quite a bit about lynchings, don't they?

#6 She's proof you don't need oxygen reaching your brain to serve in Congress.

#7 Now They’re Trotting Out Plans For a Coup D’Etat

"We knew this would get dusted off eventually. Kathleen Parker at The Washington Post trotted out Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, which deals with presidential incapacity.
With luck, and Cabinet-level courage that is not much in evidence, there’s a chance we won’t have to wait two long years, during which, let’s face it, anything could happen. In anticipation of circumstances warranting a speedier presidential replacement, wiser minds added Section 4 to the 25th Amendment, which removes the president if a majority of the Cabinet and the vice president think it necessary, i.e., if the president is injured or falls too ill to serve. Or, by extension, by being so incompetent — or not-quite-right — that he or she poses a threat to the nation and must be removed immediately and replaced by the vice president.

So how does that really work? Nobody knows for sure, because it’s never really been done (not for more than a few hours–or days–at least). But in theory at least, our government has the ultimate kill-switch for a president off the rails."

#8 They really want to be in charge and damn the civil war that will happen when they try.

Just remember kids, when you find your homes destroyed, your family dead and dispersed, you will have done this to yourselves.

#9 Her feelings of faux outrage don't extend to allies like...
Alcee Lamar Hastings
U.S. Representative for Florida's 20th congressional district:
1988: In 1988, the Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives took up the case, and Hastings was impeached for bribery and perjury by a vote of 413-3.

#10 Of course the 1988 Donks were impeaching a Judge, not some fellow Congress-critter, because there are different rules for their buddies.

#11 The only people more stupid than Maxine Waters are those who elected her.

#12 Well, I guess we should be glad she didn't say "Let's impeach him, and then find the evidence."

She probably doesn't even realize that impeachment does not automatically mean removal from office. To actually remove the President would require a 2/3 majority in the Senate.

#13 Sounds like a fishing expedition. Fine. I think we need to check out a few Dems, too. Just to make sure . . . .

#14 Her whole District must all be dumb as boxes of rocks to keep electing this sesame street character to represent them.
STUPID.

#19 Impeachment proceeding sent Bill Clinton's approval ratings through the roof. Good luck with that Maxine, I suspect Trump is far more teflon than slick willy.
