Maxine Waters is absolutely, positively, 100% correct...sadly.

Trump ‘will get worse’ because he does not fear Democrats impeaching him: Chairwoman Maxine Waters

“Well, you know, some people were shocked that the president could be so outwardly racist,” Waters replied. “So, you know, the fact of the matter is we’re trying to do everything that we can do to say that he really does not represent most of the people of this country in what he is doing and the way that he is attacking these women and the racism he is putting forward.”

“However, I, you, and others know that he has gotten worse. From the time that we first started to realize that he was identifying himself as an unworthy person, not worthy of the presidency, he has consistently gotten worse,” she argued.

“Because guess what? He basically came to the conclusion that we were not going to impeach him,” she continued.

“So he keeps going and he’ll get worse,” Waters predicted. “He is divisive and he is dangerous.”

1. She was bonfire lit tonight. Just love her..n/t

[calimary]

18. Hell, so do I!!!

[Bettie]

2. I love her

she doesns't mince words.

[FoxNewsSucks]

3. She's right.

It is really depressing and demoralizing to see brazen criminals flip the bird to us every day.

So far, seems like the only ones to actually go to jail are the ones who cooperated with Mueller. What a great fucking lesson republicon criminals are learning.

[BeyondGeography]

6. As per usual

[madaboutharry]

4. It keeps being said that Trump is destroying the country.

You know what? He has already destroyed it.

America is over. I have lost hope.

[KPN]

26. It's definitely hard right now to see how we can ever heal from this. It's pretty troubling.

[Mike Nelson]

5. He will get worse because...

… the Senate Republicans will not convict him, sadly. He has the AG in his pocket and many new judges, now, also. With no consequences, he will get continue on as he does... probably, the 2020 Election will be tampered with in ways we don't even know about, yet...

[SlogginThroughIt]

30. Exactly!!!

I am so tired of blaming democrats when it is republicans who refuse to clean up their own shit show. As of right now it all depends on republicans to actually give a fuck or two about the country. But please tell me again how democrats are at fault. FTS.

[Perseus]

40. Unfortunately if Democrats in the House (Pelosi) will not start impeachment proceedings then

who should we blame?

The "Senate will not convict" excuse is no longer a good excuse. Find Laurence Tribe article where he explains the benefits of starting impeachment proceedings right now, and he also recommends that the finding not be sent to the Senate, he also talks about the danger of not impeaching at the house. "You just don't send it to the Senate, but all the proof of wrongdoing will be out in the open."

What Maxine Waters said she meant for Pelosi and other Democrats to hear it.

I m not sure what Pelosi's strategy is, but I have a bad feeling about it, I hope I am wrong, but the way I see it, we are going to get screwed in 2020.

[SlogginThroughIt]

45. They just held a vote and ot failed miserably.

Presumably because Reps voted based on theor constituents wishes.

[jalan48]

7. Nancy needs to give Maxine a call.

[Duppers]

17. Or vice versa? nt

[KPN]

27. Oh I'm sure Maxine's already made that call.

[BigmanPigman]

44. WE NEED TO CALL NANCY...ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!

Here is her number in DC...

phone: [phone]
hours: M-F 9-5:30pm

[sinkingfeeling]

8. She is correct and most Democrats look like wimps.

[Miles Archer]

21. He's already taken a victory lap over the Al Green vote

I'm surprised he didn't add McConnell's "CASE CLOSED."

But he did end his remarks with "get back to work," directed at the Dems.

And the truth is that the Dems have been working all along, and anything that gets sent to McConnell doesn't come up for a vote in the Senate.

It's all about tax cuts and stacking the courts. Lip service to healthcare, lip service to "border security," but the Republicans only care about those issues to the point where Trump can stand beneath a "promises made, promises kept" banner at his MAGAt rallies.

It seems like all hopes are pinned on voting Trump out of office.

But we have no guarantees of voter turnout. Being angry and offended has limited value unless people vote. And 100% of his efforts right now are focused on MAGAt turnout.

There also seems to be an idea that Mueller's testimony will tip public favor toward impeachment. I have my doubts about that as well. Let's say that doesn't happen, or let's say that it does. It still comes down to starting the process, the investigations, with the knowledge that the Senate won't touch it. I don't see a "sea change" in the Senate no matter WHAT comes out.

So it all comes down to Trump's ability to slime the Democrats in they eyes of voters. We know he's going to do it, he's ALREADY doing it. We're depending on voters to separate truth from fiction. I have a hard time putting my full faith in that happening. But if I were to look into the crystal ball, everything I'm seeing tells me impeachment won't happen, and we are depending on voters to remove Trump.

[CaptainTruth]

9. Trump doesn't need to care about impeachment because he knows Republicans in the Senate...

...won't convict him.

As long as Republicans in the Senate refuse to convict him impeachment won't do anything to him, & he knows it, so he has no reason to stop what he's doing.

[shanti]

46. And not only will he not stop,

he is doubling down on everything now. He's getting exponentially worse. I don't understand Ms. Pelosi's thinking on this.

[lambchopp59]

10. She is correct, just as she always nails down the truth

That demented orange clown horn in office will get louder, more brazen, make gaffes continually more idiotic than the last and believe there are billions, I tell you, billions of cheering fans supporting every notion.

[cwydro]

11. Thank you Maxine!

Spot on.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

12. He's NEVER been afraid.

He's been wiping his ass with The Constitution since BEFORE he got elected.

[spanone]

13. K&R...

[myohmy2]

14. are...

...you listening, Nancy?

“So he keeps going and he’ll get worse,” Waters predicted. “He is divisive and he is dangerous.”

...we've been warned...if trump drags us all down the toilet with him, it will also be on your hands for not impeaching...

...I wouldn't want that on my conscience...

...

[doc03]

15. I agree nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. To Nancy's ears. Why in the world is she blind

tlo this that others see so clearly? Why is a person with a vested interest making the call on impeachment?

[saidsimplesimon]

19. Thank you Madame Waters for taking

a principled stand for our democracy.

[JoeOtterbein]

20. If you don't fight first, then second, you will lose.

[G_j]

22. K&R!!!

[corbettkroehler]

23. No One Speaks A Louder, More Resonant Truth To Power!

Sadly, her penchant for speaking the truth in an uppity manner (which I intend as a huge compliment) is to her great credit but also causes nut jobs to lodge death threats against her.

Nevertheless, she, too, persisted! Go, Congresswoman, go!

[dalton99a]

24. Why change when there are no consequences?

[FakeNoose]

25. It seems she wants the House to impeach him anyway

She and all the Democratic leaders understand that it would be a gesture, with no hope of accomplishing its goal. However there is growing appeal to just do it - anyway. At least it's on the record. At least we've told the world. At least we've tried to do something.

[Nevermypresident]

35. +1

[qazplm135]

28. I don't agree

He doesn't fear impeachment. He fears his base getting bored and not riled up.

He knows the Senate will never convict him so he's safe.

[elocs]

29. Only problem is that impeachment will never remove Trump from office.

Well except in some Liberal fantasy.
The surest way to get rid of Trump is to defeat him in 2020.
But in the time between his defeat and when the Democrat takes office in 2021 I can only imagine the evil he will do, the trouble he will foment.

I think that if Trump were impeached, after the Senate failed to convict him he will be worse for sure, bragging how he was completely exonerated from all the fake charges.
If impeachment is like an indictment and the accused ultimately is found not guilty after a trial, how exactly does that make them held to account?

[gtar100]

33. Not that I have any say in the matter, but why not let the

impeachment process run on through the election cycle and not even give the Senate a chance to vote before November 2020. If we can't count on them to do their jobs (and we can't, of course, with the idiot mind of McConnell in the way), why bother even giving them an opportunity to vote on impeachment?

[yellowdogintexas]

38. This may actually be the plan.

After watching Speaker Pelosi operate since January, I can't believe she doesn't have all four aces up her sleeve.

Or maybe 6....

[gtar100]

39. Hope so. Crossing my fingers.

[elocs]

43. When Pelosi does just what the far Left wants her to do, she's golden.

When she doesn't, she's a bum.

[PatrickforO]

42. It isn't about being politic. Yes, all of us know the Senate will never convict under

McConnell and with a Republican majority.

It is about the oaths all these house members took - to, without equivocation, protect the Constitution and the country from all enemies, domestic and foreign. Trump has clearly committed numerous crimes and they are ethically, morally obligated, to begin the impeachment proceedings.

It is a matter of honor, of upholding a sacred oath, so in that sense, it matters not one whit that the Senate won't convict.

[Catch2.2]

31. If the Dems do nothing...

either now or after Trump is out of office, then the republicans will not only continue but they will increase their corruption. There are no consequences to their actions!

[warmfeet]

34. Yes, if they are never held to account, they are, de facto, above the law - and they know it.

I would like to see the Democratic party market themselves as the party that believes in the rule of law, the party that will pursue accountability. Current Democratic leadership disagrees with this view point, it seems.

If the crimes of the current president do not rise to the level of impeachment, then no such level exists, and we should amend the constitution to remove all language referring to impeachment.

I, frankly, don't care what the senate may or may not do regarding a trial. The house is not required to refer their findings to the senate, nor should they. Show the American people what this miscreant has done to undermine our democracy. Show the American people they do not have to settle for a lawless and corrupt leadership. Show them we are a better choice.

How many voters will just stay home rather than vote for the party of milquetoast?

[Catch2.2]

47. Agree 100%

well said!

[gtar100]

32. At this point, what the Senate does or doesn't do shouldn't even matter.

Start the process, do the investigations, take your time to be thorough and communicate all findings with the public. It's an impeachment process but the most important part is educating the public about the crimes of tRump and all complicit republicans.

Again, it doesn't matter what the Senate does. McConnell can shove it. He's just a corrupted, contemptible prick. He deserves neither respect nor consideration. All he deserves is our suspicions and contempt.

[Ferrets are Cool]

36. "I can do anything I want. They won't do a thing to me"

Is what is running thru his mind.

[Ferrets are Cool]

37. But, but, but....the powder MUST be kept dry

[PatrickforO]

41. I like Maxine Waters a lot.

Trump never, NEVER fooled her for even one minute.
