The Maxine Waters (D-CA) thread

[sean miguel]

ok, she didn't actually say that, but that meme is funny because it's precisely something you could see her saying.

#TermLimits #AgeResrictions

 

[ApolloBalboa]

I'm in favor of term limits for every senator and representative. I think it's ridiculous when you realize that there are people who have been there 15+ years and haven't contributed a damn thing. Make two terms the limit, just like the President, and get some new blood in there.

#AgeRestriction ?

Ok but Richard Shelby, Chuck Grassley, Pat Roberts, Thad Cochran, Jim Inhofe and Orrin Hatch must go : all these republican senators are older than Maxine Waters

yes, and?

 

[Johan]

Then are you requiring these gentlemen to leave as well if you require Maxine Waters to leave because #AgeRestrictions ?

Yes. Hence age restrictions.

I don't think term limits are the silver bullet that a lot of people think they are. Instead of politicians who spend all of their time campaigning for re-election, they campaign for their first term, then spend their second term setting up their private career. If anything, there's less incentive to do their job.

What would work a thousand times better, in my opinion, is an informed and educated electorate with a memory span longer than 6 minutes. When I figure out how to make that happen, I'll let you know...

reeducation camps. The North Korean leadership gets shit done.

Yup. I'm starting to believe, however, that humans on average just aren't capable of sustained, educated engagement. Bread and circuses, and all that.

The next best thing to an educated populace would be campaign finance reform. Buckley v. Valeo and its successors need to be overturned.

Agree 100%.

I'm not saying that term limits are a cure-all, but I think they'd be a step in the right direction, along with what you and Rattrap suggested. However, even if there were already such a thing, I don't think it would make a bit of difference with the past few caucuses.

 

[sean miguel]

wait a second. I thought Hillary won the popular vote by 3 million?

seems the majority were properly educated by mongo's standards. and that pesky constitution and electoral college though.


#reeducation camps

I seriously hope Kimchi-un doesn't use Australia as a nuclear testing ground as he's threatened to. Then the U.S. would seriously have to weigh the cost/benefit of a response.

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

There were more than three million more votes than there are registered, live voters. But you won't hear that from MSM.

I've long championed term limits for congress. And ending congressional pensions. And auditing the Fed. We need an Article V Constitutional Convention.

 

[sean miguel]

We need an Article V Constitutional Convention.

boom. that.

 

[Jagger69]

Agree 100%.

Me too.

Maxine Waters is the Aunt Esther of the House of Representatives.

WASHINGTON – Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) on Wednesday asked terror experts for answers on how to combat the rise of white nationalists, as she has been fielding death threats from extremists.

“What can we do to deal with the KKK, the white nationalists, the extremists, the alt-right?” Waters, who serves as ranking member of the House Committee on Financial Services, asked during a Subcommittee on Terrorism and Illicit Finance hearing. “They’re on the internet, they’re Breitbart. If you look at the YouTube, you see how much they want to kill me and others. What can we do?”

The hearing was held to discuss small-scale and “lone-wolf” terrorist threats, with much of the focus on the financial aspects of terror plots. Seamus Hughes, deputy director for George Washington University’s Program on Extremism and former senior counterterrorism advisor for the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told Waters that domestic terrorists are as much a threat as foreign-born terrorists

I can only sympathize with her.

 

[sean miguel]

How is Maxine Waters even a representative of California's 43rd congressional district? I just answered my own question.

Impeach Trump - because you don't like him. fucking morons.

Impeach!? Naw, just hold him to the same standard that Al Franken is about to be subjected to.

 

[Jack Davenport]

Me too.

Pretty sure she’d consider that a races remark.

except liberals aren't racist. by definition, it's an impossibility.

even the backwoods kind who have never left the country.

I'm a half-asian "chink" and "slant-eye," but still a white supremacist because I support President Trump.


fuck having a beer, I would knock them on their ass (using my inherent kung-fu). I don't care how old they are.

Like McCain, I'm just waiting for that generation to die.
