| MAXINE MELTDOWN: ‘I say impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment!' | |
| 2018-09-11 | |
The California Congresswoman went after the president while accepting an award from the Stonewall Young Democrats on Saturday in Los Angeles. At one point in the 20-minute speech, she bragged about threatening Trump supporters. Speaking about Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s apology to Judge Brett Kavanaugh for the dozens of people interrupting his confirmation hearing this week, Waters said, "We don’t ask permission to protest. We protest," triggering cheers. "When we understand that we have to make America hear us and see us, and understand that we all have something to say," she said, before adding she was going to give Feinstein a piece of her mind. Waters went on to boast about when she urged her supporters to find Trump administration officials and harass them. "There are those who said we lacked civility when I got up and talked about the President’s Cabinet, and I said if you see them anywhere, if you see them at a restaurant, if you see them in a department store, even at a gasoline station, just tell them you’re not welcome here or anywhere," she said to wild cheers. "And so, it frightened a lot of people, and of course the lying president said that I had threatened all of his constituents," Waters said. "I did not threaten his constituents, his supporters. I do that all the time, but I didn’t do it that time," she said. Speaking about the Stonewall group, Waters said, "When I compare what you’re doing with what we have in Washington, D.C., in the highest office in the land, I wake up in the middle of the night and all I can think about is I’m gonna get him. "I’m gonna get him. I’m gonna get him," she repeated. "I’m in this fight and I’m not gonna move," she told the crowd. "And, as you know, there’s a difference in how some of our leadership talk about how we should handle all of this. "They say, ’Maxine, please don’t say impeachment anymore.’ "And when they say that, I say impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment," she said to applause. Waters told the crowd she won’t stop with Trump. "I had a conversation here today with someone asked, ’Well, what about Pence? If you are able to impeach, Pence will be worse,'" she recollected. "Well, I said, ’Look, one at a time.’ "You knock one down, one at a time," she said. "You knock one down, and we’ll be ready for Pence. We’ll get him, too," she vowed. | |

| #14 Freaking out that her district might start to warm to the rising employment opportunities presented by the Trump administrations policies. More likely freaking out that her party might replace her with an Hispanic. |

| #12 If Mad Max is so obsessed with impeachment, maybe we should impeach her. I think if one follows the money, there are in her background impeachable offenses. She has a $4.3 mil mansion on a $174,000/yr salary. |

| #10 Impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, Impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, Impeachment, impeachment... Dammit, you were so close! Not that I'm any kind of a judge, but I call that a good first effort. Moar green pills, er, pils! |

| #6 Remember the calls for "Civility" and "Bipartisanship"? No? At least 'Mad Max' is honest in what she wants: Power, power to crush the opposition into impotence. |

| #5 So she admits she threatens people who didn't vote the way she wants? She's not fit to be walking free, let alone in elected office. |

| #4 Ah Maxi Padded, remember this one? Maxine Waters Thinks Russia Is Invading Korea! An Al Sharpton in drag. I'm surprised she puts her wig on straight. |

| #3 I've got to say it. It's hard to see how a Maxine on LSD could be weirder than a Maxine as she is. |
