Maxine Waters: We Have Right-Wing Conservatives Who Are 'Domestic Terrorists in the House'
[BREITBART] Representative The Ageless and Downright Brilliant Comrade Maxine Impeach 45! Waters
...U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district, serving since 1991, a total of 31.16436 years. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the most senior of the twelve black women currently serving in the United States Congress, and 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 46.16231 years. She has been a politician for virtually all her adult life. If she was a little brighter she'd be a Communist...
(D-CA) said Saturday on MSNBC’s "Ayman" that some of the so-called right-wing conservatives in the House of Representatives were "domestic terrorists."

Anchor Ayman Mohyeldin said, "I know that politicians tried to sound optimistic as much as they can but right now, with the leadership that we see in the House, is there any path forward for police reform in Congress after this later on tragic killing?"

Waters said, "It is the Marjorie Taylor Greene Republican caucus. You heard what McCarthy said. He said that he just loves her and that he is going to do everything he can to protect her and that she is saying in so many ways that I owe him. So I don’t expect anything from them. We are going to try to do everything that we possibly can. But I think that the average American person can see what is going on. We have these right-wing conservatives who are, you know, we have domestic snuffies in the House of Representatives. These people are bully boys, so I am not optimistic that that is the way that it is going to happen until the people of this country really decide that they do not want it, and they are not going to elect people who act in the way that they act."

#1  (neighborhoodscout.com) With a crime rate of 38 per one thousand residents, Compton has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 26.

#4  There is an imperial nature to the pronouncements of our senators and representatives. She has deemed or defined her peers as domestic terrorists so no evidence is needed. The people that SWATed MTG for about a week straight are not domestic terrorists because there has been no imperial decree to define them as such.

Democrats want 8.7% pay hike for federal workers who were 'subjected to' Trump
More posturing — there will be lots more of that this term. What a comfort that the Republicans control the House when this kind of nonsense is suggested.
[NYPOST] ​Democrats are proposing giving federal workers an 8.7% pay increase for toiling through the Trump administration and the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic.

The suggested pay increase for the 2 million federal workers would take effect in 2024, and would come after they received the 4.6% raise this year from President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant. Just look at the competent way he dumped Afghanistan......
"For years now, federal employees have risked their health and safety working on the frontlines of this pandemic," Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said in a blurb announcing that he and ​Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) would reintroduce the Federal Adjustment of Income Rates​, or FAIR Act.

"They were subjected to the Trump Administration’s cruel personal attacks, unsafe work environments, pay freezes, government shutdowns, sequestration cuts, furloughs, and mindless across-the-board hiring freezes​," Connolly said in the statement released last week.

"​Still, our federal workforce serves with dedication and distinction every day. Federal employees are our government’s single greatest asset, and they deserve better​," he said.

#2  With the reparations genie out of the bottle, it's soon going to be full blown looting of the Treasury in the name of equity.

#4  Fine, but let's also raise the tax on all government employees (Non-military) to 99% of all yearly earnings, along with a 99% tax rate on all savings, 401k, pension plans and health benefits. So basically, if you work for the government and have money, then you need to be taxed more.

#5  A bag of gold to keep the praetorian guardsman loyal.

#7 
Democrats have been looting the Treasury for decades to feather their nests, buy friends/votes, and harm those actually make the country prosperous and pay the bills. The rate of theft and brazenness has grown geometrically with the Magic Kenyan,1.0, 2.0 and the current 3.0 versions!
Posted by: NoMoreBS || 01/30/2023 21:43 Comments || Top||

#8  Contract out (competitive bids) most government functions. Since federal employees cost nearly 2X their civilian counterparts while having low productivity, a lot of taxpayer money would be saved and services improved.
