Maxine Waters says Donald Trump is not acting in the best interest of the country



I have always said we need to wait until Mueller gets his report done --but more and more, after seeing the damage Trump is doing, I am leaning toward impeachment now. Not quite there yet.

Maxine Waters Says Democrats Don’t Need Mueller’s Report To Move Forward On Impeachment

Rep. Waters said:



I believe in the constitution and the constitution gives us the authority and the responsibility to decide whether or not a president is acting in the best interest of this country. This president is not. As far as I’m concerned, he has enough violations, he’s been involved in a lot of activity that we believe needs to be made apparent, and so I believe that we have everything that it needs to basically impeach him. I believe that. You’re absolutely right, we’re depending on Mr. Mueller, the American people should be depending on the people that they elected to represent them to determine whether or not this president is undermining the constitution, whether or not he’s acting in our best interest, and whether or not he’s putting us in danger because he may be compromised in the way that he’s dealing with other countries.


Mueller’s investigation is only the tip of the iceberg

While Robert Mueller is clearly continuing to conduct his investigation in a deliberate and thorough manner, it shouldn’t be the end-all when it comes to the possible impeachment of Donald Trump.

After all, the special counsel probe is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Trump’s corruption as its scope is largely limited to a campaign conspiracy with Russia and possible obstruction of justice.

All the while, investigators in New York and various committees in the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives are investigating the president for a slew of other criminal activity, from tax fraud to campaign finance violations to improper use of funds related to his fake charity and inaugural committee.

As Rep. Maxine Waters said on Saturday, there is more than enough on the table for Democrats to move forward with impeachment proceedings, regardless of what the Mueller report finds.

The American people didn't vote out of office enough people in the Senate to be able to accomplish the conviction of him. So, no matter what the House does it'll be stopped by those republicans in the Senate ,and who also could get caught up in all these investigations with russia, putin , and a lot of corruption. Until we remove these people in OUR government , we'll be unsuccessful removing him by convicting him in the Senate. Its up to the American people to vote trump and all the gop out of office , or this will only get worse for all of us.

along with longer days and warmer weather. I'm ready for pitchforks and torches, every fucking day until all the crooks are removed.

A general strike is probably going to be the only way we can get rid of them. I don't have the logistics but if we don't make it clear that they have to leave, they will destroy us before we can run them off.
