Oh, sweet Jesus!

If Democrats take the House back in November, their current ranking member of the Financial Services Committee becomes the chair of the committee, and has the power to subpoena Trump’s bank records.

That member is Maxine Waters. Vote.

is trying to get some crazy with a gun to go after her. Talking about how dangerous she is. Not as dangerous as Faux, and their propaganda.

that will surely be the straw that broke the camel's back. Every day since IQ45 became President, (and of course during his outrageous campaign) we all said to ourselves "He cannot survive this (whatever he tweeted, said or did)". But the killing of a Congressperson....well, that's different.

Hope she has bodyguards, and hope she continues as she has been going.

She's been a target of Trump fans since the election, but she's really sent them over the edge lately.

Our country NEEDS this woman to head that committee. And Democrats at the head of every committee. It's the only way to put a muzzle on this beast. It's a given that everyone here will vote. It's up to us to do what we can to get everyone else out, too.

She could go after those tax returns too, the one supposedly under audit for 2 years. Twittler lies and lies, what a fraud.

Now if we can keep him from making another Supreme Court Pick....him being a guy who actually got beat by 3 million votes, he is deeply under investigation, the pick he did make was stolen from Obama. Also just learned that the Republicans would not have allowed HRC any picks in her 4-8 years if the were in control. Oh and if they go after Roe vs Wade 2/3 of us support R vs W. The will of the people...not!!
