If Democrats win back the House in 2018, Maxine Waters is promising financial reparations for black Americans.
During an appearance in Selma, Alabama on Saturday, Waters appeared alongside CNN commentator Angela Rye.
Waters took her time to — what else — attack President Trump, criticizing him for his alleged connections to Russia.
“He’s a bully — he has a bully mentality,” Waters said of Trump.
“We need someone in the presidency who not only has good sense but understands diplomacy and understands what we need to do to have peace in this world so we can all look forward to the possibility that we’re someday going to have a world that’s about peace and justice and respect for individual liberty,” Water said.
“Is that your stump speech for 2020?” Rye asked.
As Waters laughed and the crowd applauded, Rye continued, “Is she running? Is she running?”
Waters didn’t answer.
Later, an attendee challenged Waters to push for reparations and take up a bill John Conyers had sponsored in this House in previous sessions.
Waters said she would.
“I’d be happy to do that. That’s no problem,” she answered.
“In order to get where we need to go on this issue and other issues, we really got to understand that 2018 is important in taking back the House and taking back the Senate,” Waters said.
“And of course, we’ve got to get the White House back.”
She continued, “If we want to get to the point where we can get reparations, we’ve got to have the power to do that, Number 1, by having a supportive president would be wonderful, but taking back the House would be absolutely wonderful.
She urged attendees to register to vote because “I need to take back that House so that we can have a majority in that committee.”
She ended her statement by criticizing HUD Secretary Ben Carson, telling the baying audience that she was going to “take care” of him.

I know the Democrats are scraping the bottom of the barrel, but if Maxine is the best they can do for 2020 they are in REAL trouble. Rod

Just daydreaming here because there is no way Maxine is going to be the one, but can you picture a debate between Maxine and Trump? Now that my friends would be real entertainment. Rod

I am so sick of this tantrum-throwing crybaby. She's too stupid to be embarrassed. I hope she's still around at the end of President Trump's second term so that she can stand out on the street and yell about impeachment at passing cars.

Can you imagine a debate between Maxine, Moochelle, Hillary, Oprah and Kamala Harris? Maybe throw in Crazy Bernie and Fauxcahontas, just for giggles...
She reminds me of the babbling lunatic who sits in a restraint and repeats the things that haunt him.

Obama claimed as POTUS, the greatness of America was built on the back of Black slaves. Curious to me. If Black culture is the yeast that builds great nations, could someone explain the political and economic challenges in most of Africa.

That's easy. White farmers in South Africa. Seize their land, kill them later and Africa will be a jewel of denial...

Tony.
That would be a race to the left edge of the universe.
Kamela Harris hit my radar when I lived in Silicon Valley. She was noteworthy - even in a state overrun by loons - when, as DA for San Francisco, she took the death penalty off the table for a cop-killer. Item three in this list of her 'milestones'
quote:
Just four months after Harris started her job as San Francisco district attorney in 2004, city police officer Isaac Espinoza was gunned down by a gang member. Days after the slaying, Harris announced that she would not seek a death sentence for the killer, David Hill, then 22 years old.
Harris stuck to her campaign promise to never pursue the death penalty, which she considered unjust and immoral.

Same here as well. My mother remembered seeing a family member being fed while sitting at the dinner table. Seems the old guy's arms were paralyzed from the torture he suffered while in a southern POW camp.
They hung him by his thumbs so long that his arms no longer worked.
So, "mad Maxine" how about my reparations??
I'll settle for a few 100,000, tax free.
Many years ago I was talking to a close friend from Atlanta about this whole racial issue. That was about the time of the first black march on DC, AIR.
He was at a gas station and the black attendant was talking to him about that craziness up in DC.
The old guy said, "Mr. Parker, those high-toned NEGROS up in DC gonna get a bunch of us poor old niggers in a whole lot of trouble!"

This bobblehead is truly bag-o-cats crazy; let her keep blathering on about reparations...give her as much air time as possible. There are a lot of hard working Americans that the message will not resonate with.
