Maxine Waters: "When we finish with Trump, we have to go and get Pence."

Thank you, Maxine, for speaking truth to power.

http://shareblue.com/maxine-waters-when-we-finish-with-trump-we-have-to-go-and-get-pence/

California Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters knew from the very beginning that Donald Trump was unfit to be president, and that the Russians had a devious hand in getting him into office.

But of course, Trump was not the only name on that ticket. And if he was elected with the aid of foreign interference, then so was his running mate, Mike Pence.

And considering that Pence is far more beholden to right wing ideology than Trump likely is, has lied on multiple occasions regarding the Russia scandal, and that even prior to inauguration, he was already proving to be the most powerful vice president ever, the idea of removing Trump only to end up with President Pence does not sit well with much of the nation.

Nor with Waters, who was not shy about saying so.

On ABC’s The View, Waters said loud and clear that Pence would be next in line for impeachment talk.

But reading about her and watching videos of her ( which I almost NEVEERR ever do of anybody).

she is just 'too much!' I know. Everybody else already knew that.

She's the mix of so many.. different pieces- down home mom or grandma, fortune teller, snappy dresser, trickster, she can tell it like it is with no holds barred -in your face, OR tell it like it is with the subtly of a master politician, she can pretend to be, goofy? no... a back country.. something.. eh forget that one.. somebody help me out here if you know what I mean.. and she is absolutely a smart as a whip ! CRACK ! "Take THAT !"

When I was 1-4 years old in NYC we had a next door apartment neighbor, a real Jewish mama, if I can use that description, who would watch me sometimes, Rosalie Abramovitz- but we called her Nana. She took no shit from anyone, least of all ME ..


She would secretly feed me VITA pickled herring. (Did she really think my mother would never smell it?

I love the stuff to this day and it tastes EXAXCTLY the same as it did then, unlike Lea & Perrins Worchester Sauce. They musta added water to it or somethin'.

Anyway, Maxine reminds me of Nana Abramovitz.

I agree Penis is a real asshole and a snake in the grass. Don't let that religion fool you he would screw you faster than Trump.

Every time I see her on camera, I find myself saying that. "That's my girl!"

And she's technically not "my girl." So I also wind up frequently saying "atta boy!" when my guy, Ted Lieu is making another in a series of great points!

She shows what a politician should be in only speaking the truth without a filter, and not taking a poll before forming an opinion. She has no fear in pissing off donors, or her constituents.
