Aunty Maxine refuses to blame Trump for surging economy

Rep. Maxine Waters (Dummy--Calif.) claims that President Trump deserves no credit for the surging economy. 

This statement is coming from the free-range dementia patient who, in 2011, said on Meet the Press that the United States needed to spend a trillion dollars more on a jobs program.

"The president must be bold," she told David Gregory. "I agree that he [Obama] must have a jobs program, he must create jobs. I'm talking about a jobs program of a trillion dollars or more. We've got to put Americans to work. That's the only way to revitalize this economy. When people work, they earn money [she's just so profound], they spend that money, and that's what gets the economy up and going."

Waters. who gave former President Obama an "A" grade for his first 100 days in office,  but on The View, despite a record-high stock market, low levels of unemployment and fantastic economic reports, had nothing good to say about Trump's performance.

The host Jedediah Bila asked Waters the question: "Are you willing to give him [Trump] some credit in that arena, on the economy, that he's making some progress?"

The senile dementia sufferer responded, "Absolutely not." She added, "I think," she lied, "too much credit is given to presidents about how the markets are working, and I really don't think," (which is true) "that he's done anything that he can take credit for."

The truth is, there is nothing President Trump can do, nothing, that the left will give him credit for, and the media and Maxine Waters with her one working brain cell, show that every day.

Waters is possibly suffering from senile dementia, as I implied above. She has made gaffes that make Joe Biden sound like Winston Churchill. "I was a millennial once," she said in a speech.

The congresswoman advised young leftists to "stay woke," using a political phrase made popular by neo-Marxist racial agitators to convey awareness of invisible forces such as "systemic [and] institutionalized racism."

When the health care bill was signed in April 2010, she denounced flag-waving at a Tea Party rally. "I was amazed; I really was. I didn't say anything to anybody. I just watched--the Republicans were out there--they were having a great time. They were laughing, they were waving the American flag, they were egging them on, and I thought that was outrageous behavior; I really did."

And before the health care bill episode where she showed her true patriotic colors, she was lecturing oil company executives in 2008. It seems that Aunty Maxine can't hide her socialist ideology: "Guess what this liberal would be all about. This liberal would be about socializing . . . ummm . . . would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies."

Now let's take a ride in the "Way-back Machine" to 1993. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times Waters said:
"Policy, for the most part, has been made by white people in America, not by people of color. And they have tended to take care of those things that they think are important. Whether it's their agricultural subsidies, or other kinds of expenditures that are certainly not expenditures for poor people or for people of color. And so we have to band together and keep fighting back."

During the Rodney King riots in her own congressional district, Waters excused the violence, while her constituents burned building after building. The Los Angeles Times quoted her saying: "If you call it a riot, it sounds like it was just a bunch of crazy people who went out and did bad things for no reason. I maintain it was somewhat understandable, if not acceptable. So I call it a rebellion."

By now it should be apparent that Maxine Waters is a socialist who sees conservatives as white people of privilege or worse. There is nothing a Republican can do that will ever sit well with her. 

Liberals who decried harsh conservative attacks on then-President Obama, need to remember how in 2005, Waters said of then-President Bush and Vice President Cheney: "The President is a liar. Dick Cheney, the chief architect of the Big Lie, is not only a liar; he is a thief."

If Waters was not so toxic, she'd be comical.

Tortured by Water-Boarding or Dianne Feinstein

In a Fox News report, Jose Rodriguez, the former director of the CIA's National Clandestine Service, said that Nancy Pelosi was aware of the CIA's use of water-boarding and "never objected to the techniques at all." He stated that members of Congress, including Democrats, knew of its usage and did not oppose it at the time.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said the CIA interrogation report put forth by Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) was "full of crap," on an interview with the same media outlet. He said the report was terrible and "deeply flawed," adding that "it's a classic example of where politicians get together and throw professionals under the bus."

It seems to me that when our country is attacked and we feel we're in danger, we allow our protectors to do anything they must to keep us safe. But once it's safe, we become morally superior to them and take them to task.

I think Dianne Feinstein is a traitor to our country.


Whether or not water-boarding should be considered torture is a moot point. U.S. Code 2340 defines torture thus:

(1) "torture" means an act committed by a person acting under the color of law specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control;

(2) "severe mental pain or suffering" means the prolonged mental harm caused by or resulting from--

(A) the intentional infliction or threatened infliction of severe mental physical pain or suffering;

(B) the administration or application, or threatened administration or application, of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or the personality;

(C) the threat of imminent death; or

(D) the threat that another person will imminently be subjected to death; severe physical pain or suffering, or the administration of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or personality; and

(3) "United States" means the several States of the United States, the District of Columbia, and the commonwealths, territories, and possessions of the United States.

Water-boarding is not pleasant, let's not pretend it is. But consider this: if two attackers grabbed your loved ones and you caught one and the other got away, and you knew the escapee would kill your loved ones as the clock is ticking, how far would you go to get the information you needed to save them? Would you ask nicely where they are?

If you answered 'yes' and would ask them nicely, then you don't know what love is. And if you believe we should treat Islamic terrorists nicely when we need that kind of information to save our country from further harm, then you have no business calling yourself a patriot.

Being forced to look at Dianne Feinstein's photo for an extended period of time might be considered torture.
