Irony Alert: Unhinged Mad Maxine Waters Believes Trump Should Be Impeached Because Of "Sanity" Issues
[Red State] When it comes to impeaching President Trump, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) never wastes an opportunity to jump off the deep end in encouraging her fellow Democrats to join her in getting it done.

The woman infamously referred to in conservative circles as "Mad Maxine" Waters unloaded on Twitter today in what was first a call-out to Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway over the very public, very angry back and forth between Conway’s husband George and Trump:

There are a number of things wrong with not only Waters’s call for impeachment but also her statement regarding how "psychiatrists describe" the president.

First, as Psychology Today noted in 2017 (not even a month into Trump’s presidency), a doctor diagnosing the mental health of a patient they’ve never seen is unethical:

#7  The Mueller report has been delivered and it is being said that no new indictments are recommended. The Pubs ought to yell and scream that Trump should be given back the nearly 3 years on his term that were robbed from him by the Dems with their cooked-up witch hunt. Watch their heads explode.

As Predicted: Biden Eyeing Stacey Abrams As Possible Early VP Nominee
[Hot Air] I have little to add to this post from Tuesday except "Told you so."

Oh, and to reiterate that this would be a bad idea, possibly as much for Abrams as for Biden.

Close advisers to former Vice President Joe Biden are debating the idea of packaging his presidential campaign announcement with a pledge to choose Stacey Abrams as his vice president...

But the decision poses considerable risk, and some advisers are flatly opposed. Some have pointed out that in a Democratic debate, he could be asked why no one on the stage would be a worthy running mate...

Biden has discussed selecting a running mate early, a move that one senior Democrat said could hurt him by feeding "an air of inevitability," CNN reported.

#2  Just what we need, a tax avoider (several thousand $$$$$) as VP of the US. Couldn't understand why she was attractive to the voters of GA (and I live in GA).

MoveOn.org Demands 2020 Democratic Candidates Boycott AIPAC Conference. Warren, Harris, Sanders Say They Won't Attend

#1  AIPAC has an unhealthy amount of influence on American domestic politics. It is well and good that people stop paying attention to them.

#3  I always thought that the Juice were reasonably sharp as a group, but, their continued support for the Dems has changed my opinion.

#4  AIPAC has always made a point to be party-neutral, and are distressed that the Democrats are now otherwise on this subject.

#5  Kick those Jews in the shins. Don't worry. They'll keep voting Democrat anyway. Right?

Oh, and import more Muslims while you're at it.
Posted by: Abu Uluque || 03/22/2019 11:09 Comments || Top||

#6  The democrats have become riddled throughout state and national committee positions with activist Muslim staff and leaders. They cannot help themselves as the Palestinian anti Semitic rhetoric and policy ideas flow into public forums. Jews need to understand that and this gives many pause for the first time in their lives I suspect, as they see it wasn’t them the Democrats cared about, it was their money.

#7  The "right to lobby" is in that pesky First Amendment. Between that, the 2nd Amendment and the Electoral College that nasty Constitution has just got to go...

#9  Haven't heard a lot about MoveOn lately. Perhaps they are striving to be relevant again? Or participate in the Trumpain landslide in 2020?

Roger Stone Invokes Fifth Amendment On Nadler Document Requests
[DAILYCALLER] Conservative operative Roger Stone is invoking his Fifth Amendment privilege and refusing House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler’s request for documents in a far-reaching probe aimed at investigating President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
and his associates.

"On the advice of counsel, Mr. Stone will not produce the documents requested by the House Committee on the Judiciary," Stone’s attorney wrote to Nadler in a letter reviewed by The Daily Caller, adding, "whether the documents requested by the House Committee on the Judiciary exist or not, they are subject to a Fifth Amendment claim."

Stone’s attorney continued, "Mr. Stone’s invocation of his Fifth Amendment rights must be understood by all to be the assertion of a Constitutional right by an innocent citizen, who is currently defending his innocence, and one who denounces secrecy for the purposes of advancing innuendo."

Stone instead noted that Nadler should seek relevant documents from the House Select Committee On Intelligence, where he testified in September 2017. Stone also pointed to the recent charges he faces from special counsel Robert Mueller’s office. Stone was indicted on seven counts by Mueller’s team on charges of allegedly making false statements to Congress, tampering with a witness and obstructing a government investigation.

...Not that that's gonna stop Jerry. Remember: if you're a Democrat and you take the Fifth you're a brave and principled soul standing up for the rights of all. If you're a Republican and you take the Fifth, you got something to hide and they're gonna go over you with a cheese grater.

#2  Because of all the process arrests you'd be a fool to plead anything except the 5th these days.
