Maxine Waters's Unhinged Russia Conspiracy Theory Push
2019-12-19
[TOWNHALL] During an interview on CNN on Monday night, House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman The Ageless and Downright Brilliant Comrade Maxine Impeach 45! Waters
...U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district, serving since 1991, a total of 28.04785 years. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the most senior of the twelve black women currently serving in the United States Congress, and a member and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Before becoming a member of Congress she served in the California Assembly, to which she was first elected back when Disco was in flower, in 1976, which would make it 43.04580 years. She has been a politician for virtually all her adult life. If she was a little brighter she'd be a Communist...
(D-CA) pushed a conspiracy theory that President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. She admitted that she doesn't have evidence to support the claim.

Her entire conspiracy theory centers around the idea that Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
helped get President Trump elected because he would remove the sanctions placed on Russia.

"Because I believe, even though I don't have the facts to prove it, I believe that Putin wanted to lift the sanctions. He's always wanted to lift the sanctions that were placed on him because of his interfering and encouraging into Crimea. So I believe that they wanted to elect President Trump and Trump, I believe agreed. I will always believe this, that he agreed if he got elected that he would lift those sanctions," Water explained. "He would like to do it. He's not been able to do it, but when they talk about we're just making things up, and he talks about this as a witch hunt, there are too many facts."

"This president will not condemn Putin for hacking into the Democratic National Committee. He will not condemn him for hacking into our election system," she said. "These are facts. 17 of our intelligence agencies have said this. Are these patriots or not? I mean, what do they think about our Democracy being undermined by the President of the United States of America?"

According to the Congresswoman, Republicans continually say the Democrats are pushing this notion because they "don't like him." Her argument is that when Republicans make that claim they "don't really care what happens to this democracy, don't have an appreciation for the Constitution, and the fact that the Constitution gives us the responsibility to impeach when we see this president or any president, who is not good for the country, who is undermining our country, who is putting us in danger, who is aligning himself with a foreign country to interfere with our elections. Those are facts."

#5  Psychology says: The problem with grudges, besides the fact that they are a drag to carry around (like a bag of sedimentized toxic waste that keeps us stuck in anger) is that they don’t serve the purpose that they are there to serve.

The only thing I might add is that you become that bag of sedimentized toxic waste...the face you wear is the face you earned.
