[uponit7771]

Maxine Waters on MSNBC right now: "Trump being stupid with media because of info about to come out on Russia" (mine)

She was just asked is he leading himself to impeachment and Waters said yes

Called them the Kremlin Klan

Someone record this ...

She's most likely said it before but there's no doubt she's pissed...

She's saying Follow the dollar


Trying to type fast... but can't because of head injury... crap... that was good

[TrekLuver]

1. "The Facts Will Come Out"........great segment. She also said that the Pub's will be on board

because "they are patriots"...not all of em Maxine...not all of em. I'm also going to borrow the "Kremlin Clan"...that's a good one.

[uponit7771]

2. Right... heard that too... it'll have to be some serious connections for the KGOP to turn

[TrekLuver]

3. It is very serious and Maxine was adamant that we are on the road to impeachment and Trashpot

Trump is leading the way!! Yaaaaayyyy.

[PatSeg]

64. A couple days ago

David Frum Tweeted: "Decoded: one or more of NYT, CNN or NBC News has a very very damaged story in the pipeline...."

It does seem that something is about to happen.

[Pachamama]

5. Kremlin Klan - with a "K"

They own that one - especially the Bannon posse...

[eppur_se_muova]

7. Hmmm ... Kremlin Klan Kleptocracy .... hmmmm ..... nt

[brush]

15. Whoa! You nailed it by adding that extra K. How appropriate.

[FailureToCommunicate]

74. This

[TrekLuver]

11. Yes with a K...I already used it on twitter. These Trump Trolls don't respond back that often...and

really I pity them if they do. I didn't name myself "Trash Basher" for nothing.

[WhiteTara]

22. I like Kremlin Klan myself

it really fits.

[NBachers]

51. Make sure you factor the word Republican in every time you say Kremlin Klan.

[Hortensis]

58. Yes! Republican AND authoritarian. Harsh, scary

reality, and we desperately need people to realize it.

[WhiteTara]

60. As in Republicon Kremlin Klan.

That says it all.

[onetexan]

78. RKK for short

i love it!

[WhiteTara]

80. Indeed.

Their new iteration.

[Ported_Maryjoseph]

101. Bannon

Bannon Kremlin Ķlan

[WhiteTara]

103. Hey! Welcome to DU!

This is a crazy time and DU is a good home.

[pangaia]

43. KLAN with a K....

[JenniferJuniper]

4. I think the "enemy of the people" insanity was a preemptive strike

[leftstreet]

9. oh

I bet you're right!

Hadn't thought of that. It was such a bold and provocative statement even from him

[Amaryllis]

24. But it really pissed off the press and there is a lot of blow back. When even Chris Wallace is

confronting them on it...but I know it won't change the minds of those living in an alternative universe of alternative facts.

[Eyeball_Kid]

33. The Trumpy Faithful have to be left behind. There's no time for conversion, cajoling, or persuasion.

Those opportunities are long gone. The Fanboys simply must be left behind.

[napi21]

85. It won't change the minds of his most ardent followers, but I believe there were a lot of

people who voted for him, not because they liked him, but because they hated politicians in both parties and the Con was not a politician, and not really from any party either. Thy don't owe him allegiance and when they see his real involvement with Puty and changing his mind about protecting Social Security and Medicare, their support will be gone.

[TrekLuver]

12. +1000 Absolutely...this undermine the media strategy serves his foul purpose on so many levels.

[Maru Kitteh]

14. And the ego rally.

Signal to Republicans, "I own the party, these people love me and will believe whatever I tell them to."

[Cha]

50. The 2020 campaign ego rally because his 2017 term isn't in the shitter already

smdh

[AC_Mem]

83. I think he is a human mirror

If you notice, pretty much whatever he says about something or someone eventually will show itself as being about him or those he surrounds himself with.

just like when he says "believe me" - you know that what he just said was a lie.

[KingCharlemagne]

97. Playing to his base, to inoculate them from what's coming. - nt

[Stuart G]

6. k and r..nt

[kimbutgar]

8. Unless they got it on tapes and video his brain dead supporters will not believe it

[angstlessk]

10. Even then they will say it was photo shopped or altered...

[TrekLuver]

13. The "persuadable" 10% will believe it...his base of 30% there is no convincing..I wouldn't be

surprised if the right wing spin meisters haven't already cooked up a "real reason" for Trashpot and his Kremlin Klan.

[Tom Rinaldo]

19. I agree. But that should be sufficient. n/t

[Stonepounder]

91. The scary thing about that 'base of 30%'

Are the Bundy's, and the Ruby Ridgers. The ones with 10-15 semi-automatic rifles who will 'defend their honor and defend Amerika' from all them immirgunts and ferriners and libruls with those guns.

I am afraid that no matter how this ends, it is not going to be good.

And what's with all the ads talking about what a great guy Gorsuch is?

[vlyons]

95. There will be more than a few Trump underling collaborators

who will sing and throw Trump under the bus to cut deals for immunity and lesser charges. That crew doesn't have any real loyalty to Trump because they are sycophants and grifters at heart.

[Crash2Parties]

38. They'll spin it in their heads so that it's a *good* thing, making America Great again, etc..

Remember, just like 45 they *love* Russia now.

[angstlessk]

42. It makes my head spin...how quickly they went from...

...positively HATING putin to being his cheerleaders?????

[NBachers]

53. Yeah, what happened to hallowed Saint Ronald of Reagan and his Evil Empire?

[Atman]

57. The line I keep hearing them use is...

"What's wrong? We should be friends with Russia!"

[Takket]

18. fortunately the support of his minions isn't required to impeach him

[LenaBaby61]

36. "Fortunately the support of his minions isn't required to impeach him."

And thank goodness for THAT

[kacekwl]

45. Exactly, I don't care WHAT they think

The law is the law or so I thought. I wish all the pussyfooting around would stop .

[nikibatts]

73. thankfully they don't determine who gets impeached.

[Beartracks]

84. But... but the problem is the LEAKERS!!!

NOT the crimes they leaked!!!!11!1!

And it's the bad, shameless press for informing the public!!!1!



============================================

[Cosmocat]

98. YEP - battle is for the "middle" 1/3

The 1/3 right wing assholes are lost.

And, sadly, equal our 1/3.

The battle is for the apolitical people who sit out the elections and the dumb asses who "think they are both same" who voted third party.

It is going to be U G L Y, and a with a full on authoritarian, fascist POTUS and admin, they are not going to go down reasonably, there will be no Nixon getting into the helicopter.

[Alice11111]

16. Doubtful they will believe anyway-Impachment, Conviction?

Sex predator admissions were on tape, and they called it fake news. Dems should have never called them, the Hollywood Access tapes. Call them Sexual predator tapes.

They believe what they want or just don't give a shit. They like him because he's rude, Crude, borish, not fact based and ignorant...like most of them.

Repubs in Congress may not ignore it though. I have to believe there are a few patriots among the Repubs. We know of 4, maybe 5, but maybe there are more. We need a few more. If he were impeached, unlikely given the numbers in the House, we would need 67 senators to convict him, Basically 19 or 20 of the Repubs, since we are short, and thats assuming all Dems voted to convict. Of course, it depends on whether their constituents will reelect them...determines most of their votes.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. If it is bad enough, Republicons will make a last effort to save their brand by impeaching tRump. nt

[JenniferJuniper]

27. Agree. They won't go down with him. Rats flee sinking ships.

[mulsh]

17. MSNBC news reader made a valient attempt to temper what Ms. Waters was saying. Ms Waters was

clearly not backing down and not about to be side tracked. It's a shame she can't reveal what she's reviewed in those briefings but it sounds like the information is about to be made public. Ms. Waters is great on this issue and she's not alone. Mr. Schiff and others in the house have been pretty consistent about the treasonous aspects of the Kremlin Klan.

[uponit7771]

71. +1, she knows somethings up... we can tell she's trying to keep things under wrap. Fuck the KGOP

[jalan48]

20. Thanks for the update. Trump is hoping his media bashing, "Kill the Messenger" will work.

[Takket]

21. I'll believe it when I see it.

Just seen Trump get away with too much already. I believe he colluded with Russia but question the GOP desire to do anything about it.............

[LenaBaby61]

39. I'll believe it when I see it.

"Just seen Trump get away with too much already. I believe he colluded with Russia but question the GOP desire to do anything about it."

Agree ^^^

Although I believe that there ARE impeachable offenses to be bought against treasonous tRumputin and his treasonous minions, and although I believe Maxine nor Adam are bs'ing this treasonous tRumputin/ruskie situation/aspect one bit, I like you want to actually SEE more evidence and enough rethugs speaking possible impeachment against tRumputin first before I get all giddy.

[uponit7771]

69. +1, mu thoughts too

[ginnyinWI]

25. This explains the last few days.

The attempt to (again) delegitimize the media, and the frantic rally to pump up the base--inoculate them from what's about to break.

[5X]

28. i don't think he can see that far ahead. n/t

[pangaia]

44. bannon and the other sickos sure can...

[Johnny2X2X]

26. Don't hold your breath

This will take time and time is not something the country has.

[world wide wally]

29. Sooner or later, some Dem is just going to have the call them out for a showdown.

In other words, this is too fucking big to stay classified. Not only do the American people have a right to know what is going on, they NEED to know.

[flamingdem]

30. What program?

?

[defacto7]

31. Well, zippity do dah....

Yet there is still no way to roll back the damage done by the GOP, alt-right, and the olegarchy which will continue for years to come. There's still no way to run a new and fair election to make up for those in congress, senate, presidency and governorships that wouldn't be if it weren't for this tragedy that now even the GOP wants to chastise.
Aren't we all so glad the Repubs are slowly coming to their senses? NO! They are still doing what they planned from the beginning. Now they want to gain sympathy while we're still mezorized by the swinging orange pendulum.
We're still fucked. "They" only want to make it feel like the pain is receding.

[Ligyron]

46. Well, you're right but cheer up.

If we can gain enough seats in the 2018 election while stalling literally everything meantime we can at least hold it to a minimum. I
ask myself all the time how long it will take to undo the damage though and, I'll admit and I don't have an answer.

I know one thing, we WILL regain power at some point and we better make damn sure then we flush the toilet good on all the RW shit and NOT allow them or it so much as a foothold in our democracy ever again.

No more being" bi-partisan" with Fascism. I sure hope I live long enough to see it.

[defacto7]

47. I appreciate your optimism...

I plan to keep working toward that same goal.

[dchill]

32. KNR4KKK!

[SHRED]

34. Not getting my hopes up

Sorry.

[jodymarie aimee]

56. I'm with Shred

I live in Wisconsin and we are living proof of what they can do.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

76. Me neither ...

Democrats have let us down too many times, with "impeachment is off the table bullshit" when they were in power, what makes you think they'll do something now while in the minority?

[SunSeeker]

35. Kremlin Klan Kleptocracy

The worst thing to happen to this country in my lifetime.

[red dog 1]

37. I like Maxine Waters

and the "Kremlin Klan" is a great description of Trump's apologists in Congress, especially liars like Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who will NEVER allow an independent, bi-partisan investigation into Trump's ties to the Kremlin's cyber-attacks on the DNC, the Clinton campaign, or the 2016 United States presidential election itself.

[Hekate]

40. Don't worry about your typing. You done good.

Follow the money...

[uponit7771]

72. thx

[SummerSnow]

41. And this is also why he is trying to turn the public against the media.

[Cha]

48. you did good, uponit.. Thank you!

Sorry, about your head injury.

[WinkyDink]

49. Remember: The Watergate Break-In was in 1972, and it wasn't until 1974 that Nixon resigned.

[JenniferJuniper]

55. This is likely 1000 X worse than Watergate..

so no comparisons are apt.

[WinkyDink]

59. Well, how's this one: Democrats control NOTHING. NOW tell me that time will fly on this.

[JenniferJuniper]

61. Republicans ultimately won't go down with this fool

And again, this is nothing like Watergate

[onetexan]

79. first let agent orange hang himself

then we can call for the resignation of the rest of the RKK - one by one.

[Ernesto]

108. Thanx for the reminder!...........nt

[shenmue]

52. Go Rep. Waters!

[Stellar]

54. She mentions the Kremlin Clan in this video at the link...she's been saying that.

http://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/rep-maxine-waters-on-trump-s-kremlin-clan-878294595599

[triron]

62. Sounds great to me!

sooner the better

[BeckyDem]

63. Maxine has been livid since they met with Comey. I agree with her and others he should step down.

If Trump is impeached, I hope they can get Pence on something too. He is worse than Ryan would be.

[stevenleser]

66. Not so sure about that. Ryan is on record as saying he wants to privatize Medicare and Social

Security.

That's as bad as it gets for seniors.

[BeckyDem]

67. Ryan is a standard corporate whore but Pence is a true fundamentalist crazy bigot and

a war monger corporate pig. I would rather take my chances with Ryan than see Pence solidify the christian fundies. We would lose Bannon which would be good but we would have another type of bigot with Pence.

[Kath2]

75. Impeachment now!

And impeach anti-woman Pence, also.

[PatSeg]

68. Awesome and

a "must watch "

[uponit7771]

70. +1

[mobeau69]

82. Thank you for posting the link.

[PatSeg]

87. You are welcome

[stopbush]

77. If Maxine Waters knows we're heading to impeachment, then lots of other

Congress critters know the same thing. And if plenty of them know, the media already knows.

You don't fail to get out in front of obvious treason unless you want to go down in the deluge. Congress, the media and even the Gov of Ohio are getting in front of things, waiting for the word to come down that it's true, it's confirmed...and that Trump's presidency is toast.

[doc03]

104. Kasich, what has he said about it?

[Lotusflower70]

81. We shall see

It's like a whole lot of build up, I hope it's not for nothing.

[triron]

86. kick for visibility

[redstateblues]

88. Merry Fitzmas!

Have we learned about an impeachable offense through the latest NYT piece or is it more sound and fury signifying nothing? Hope it's not a big let down.

[triron]

89. knr

[triron]

90. knr

[renate]

92. I'm sorry about your injury... I hope you're doing well

[flamingdem]

93. p p p p p p

the tapes?

[Tatiana]

94. I wish Maxine were right. But we still have a Republican Congress.

They won't vote to impeach him, in my opinion, because at least a fourth of them have also received tainted Russian money or are involved in this cover-up in some way. McConnell, Rubio, and Walker had PACs that received a combined $4 million in Russian-tainted funds. Even people like Ted Cruz have received $$$ from Russian-linked entities.

They won't vote to expose themselves. That's why they continue to contort themselves to justify Trump's insane proclamations (EOs). That's why they excuse his mental meltdown of a press conference as Trump "being Trump."

I'm actually wondering if Trump himself has been poisoned or had his mind altered by Russian-backed agents. What we're chalking up to Alzheimer's or age could be something else entirely...

We're likely going to have to flip Congress during the 2018 midterms. I do believe we can take back the House and if we secure the House we will be able to impeach Trump. And if he gets impeached, the Senate will be compelled to convict, at that point.

[Honeycombe8]

96. Smart woman. "Follow the Money": Deep Throat

Glad that people are saying it out loud.

[ck4829]

99. Kick

[Enoki33]

100. Maxine Waters is right. I know Trump is too lazy intellectually to have read books

by John le Carre', but he is attempting a classic case of misdirection to deflect from the dangerous implications of his Russian connections and the real possibility that there could be a mole in the Whitehouse - why else would intelligence professionals withhold sensitive information? His recent antics in Florida is a prime example. Wish we had more like Maxine Waters.

[Nitram]

102. republiKan Kremlin Klan

[uponit7771]

105. Yes... Big need to tie the KGOP to minipoot right now

[doc03]

106. I hope this is all true but why is she the only Democrat with the courage to say anything? I

have heard more from John McCain than any of our so-called leaders.

[uponit7771]

107. Thank you!!! Dems biggest fight is still our own reps!!! They're way to friendly with the KGOP

[JenniferJuniper]

109. Maybe they don't want what is coming down

to be viewed through a partisan lens?

Step back and let the Republicans deal with the monster they created?
