| Why Maxine Waters Is Going Crazy |
| 2018-07-06 |
| [PJ] Maxine Waters has never been the mildest and most judicious of politicians, but there is a method to her current (extreme) madness. She does have something to be afraid of. Identity politics - her bread and butter - is, for the first time in years, in some trouble. This is particularly true in the black community where Donald Trump's approval level is climbing. And the reason for this isn't all Kanye West. African Americans have the lowest unemployment rate ever under Trump and are beginning to have more cash and better lives. This is not good for Maxine and she knows it. No more fancy house in Hancock Park. She might have to go back and live with her constituents in South Central. Hell, she might even be voted out. Hence, the acting out. |

| #8 Maxine is purposely drawing attention away from Obama and his huge full time DC staff of stalkers, agitators, and establishment handlers. Just before the chaotic public harrasment began NYT puts out a smoke screen story that he was out of the scene and every one bought it. That allowed them to GO with harrasing staffers and thier families. Maxine then kicks her mouth into gear as a diversion to protect something America has never seen a former president do to a sitting president. Obama and his staff ïs also running the entire Mueller sham investigation. |

| #6 "Identity politics" has always been in the Dem playbook. Divide and conquer. Maybe Kanye W. should run for her seat. |

| #5 Hey, wait... You mean the policies championed for decades by people like me result in better lives for blacks? After less than two years of implementation? And compared to WORSE lives after eight years of the "enlightened" Obama? All my adult life I've been called "racist" for wanting things that are making the lives of people of other races better... When will I hear the apologies? (Yeah, I know. Now the definition of "racist" has been changed to "doesn't think the US is responsible for caring for all the world's poor".) |

| #4 Something good is finally happening for 'her people' and she is in the resistance. Eventually, they have the moment of recognition or go Maxine. |
