watch: (Rep. Pelosi interview at approx. 13:40)

[Wounded Bear]

1. K & R...for truth...nt

[bigtree]

3. it was part of the discussion most of us just watched on Am Joy

...in response to a question about Trump attacks on Rep. Pelosi and her colleague.

[MrsCoffee]

6. Maxine Waters is the ranking member of the Financial Services Committee.

If Dems win majority, she would have the power to subpoena Trump.

Pelosi would have the power to bring impeachment to the table.

You better believe he is terrified of both of these women and more.

Her tweet makes PERFECT sense.

[IronLionZion]

9. Those are excellent points

[AZ8theist]

14. Maxine will become CHAIR of that committee...

And guess what will become public then?

Yup, Dotards tax returns showing the world he is OWNED by the fucking Russians. Game over.

[Cracklin Charlie]

31. Ms. Maxine is a very powerful individual.

Assface knows exactly who she is...and of what she is capable.

[NCTraveler]

7. You are giving the white nationalist residing in the WH...

A bit too much credit by referring to him as a pig.

[EffieBlack]

11. She said this in answer to a question in a discussion that included Maxine Waters

A clip was shown of Trump trashing Maxine and Jonathan Capehart asked her what she thought of it. She said "He's afraid of Maxine. He's afraid of me. He's afraid of women and minorities ...""

It was a perfectly appropriate comment.

[MontanaMama]

12. Because Dotard is on the record

on MANY occasions disparaging Maxine Waters...calling her names and sicking his mouth breathing cult members on her to the point where she has to have security detail with her for protection. It makes perfect sense to bring Maxine into the conversation IMO.

[uponit7771]

21. ?, Red Don post something towards Waters about once a week

[Skidmore]

24. Trump hammers on Maxine

Waters every chance he gets.

[George II]

26. Watch the interview, and Waters was on the show a little later.

[NewJeffCT]

28. umm, Donny has called her "low IQ" a few times now

so, I think Cong. Waters might remember that

[Blue_true]

34. He has called Maxine low intelligence several times, just like he recently called Don Lemon

and LeBron James low intelligence. So Nancy has it right. Trump uses specific attacks, against Nancy, it is she can't lead, against Maxine, LeBron, Lemon, NFL players, it's that they are dumb and unamerican.

[dawg]

37. Lemon, James & Waters are three very different people, so it's odd ...

that Trump insulted all of them in the exact same way (low IQ).

One is a politician, one a journalist, and the other a Democratic politician.

Two are men and one is a woman.

Two are fairly young while the third is more senior.

If only there were some commonality between them to help explain why Trump would lump them all together this way.

I guess it'll just have to be another mystery for the ages.

[Blue_true]

39. The last politician that could drop 45 points on you on a basketball court was Bill Bradley.

He is a real old man now.

[dalton99a]

4. Kick

[malaise]

5. Maxine on now

I am not bringing attention to this lying Conman. Bwwwwaaaaaaah! Go Maxine!

[bigtree]

8. "we're the real patriots'

...'we're going to win'

[watoos]

10. Important point to remember,

Nancy Pelosi has been one of the best, most productive leaders of the House.

Stop and think how the mere mention of her name denotes negativity. The M$M is complicit with Republicans in taking one of our strengths, Pelosi, and Maxine, and turning them negative. What has Pelosi and Waters actually done that is so awful? I can only think of backing working men and women.

The M$M controls the narrative, and the true narrative should be that Nancy and Maxine are great leaders of our nation. The M$M should have shot down all of the undeserved right wing criticism, but they didn't and don't because they are complicit.

[Heartstrings]

13. Boom!

Just like that!

[spicysista]

15. Yes, ma'am!

[FakeNoose]

17. The Democratic Reps voted her Minority Leader because they know

Nancy Pelosi has shown leadership and backbone since before Cheeto even thought about running. She has helped many/most of the current Democratic representatives in one way or another. She has worked with GOP legislators whenever possible to achieve bipartisan objectives, but sadly there have been few opportunities in the last couple of years. She gets things done and she helps wherever she's needed.

Go Nancy! Thanks for your inspired leadership and for doing a difficult, thankless job - well done!

[riversedge]

33. kick 🌊🌊🌊 #FlipItBlue #BlueWave2018 #VoteThemOUT

[Wellstone ruled]

16. And in the next segment,

Caphart goes to MSNBC talking point,Pelsoi needs to be replaced.

[bigtree]

18. he's not getting my vote

[PatrickforO]

19. My cousin, who is a Trump supporter, came to town from...

you guessed it - Texas.

We were talking politics and he tried all the right wing talking points on me. I did passably well refuting them, and he asked me if I felt that the Mueller investigation had gone long enough because, "Clearly, there's been no collusion."

I said, no, it hasn't, and yes, there has been collusion. I named a few points of collusion and then suggested that Trump is a traitor.

Then, he said something that surprised me. He asked me how I could call Trump a traitor and not even mention Maxine Waters.

My point here is not to forward some right wing talking point, but to illustrate to you the all-important point Obama brought up earlier this year when interviewed by Letterman. He said that we are so polarized because, "Not everyone is operating from the same set of facts."

One of the biggest things we need to institute when we take back our republic is a 21st century Fairness Doctrine. I'm not sure how that would look, but I do know that my cousin is among millions of Americans who are utterly convinced Trump is innocent and that the big, bad Democrats are bullying him through the Mueller investigation. Seriously.

We're not going to be able to change these peoples' minds, either. We're going to have to show up at the polls in such force that it makes their efforts to cheat futile.

[NewJeffCT]

29. WTF has Maxine Waters done to betray our country?

Called on people to protest against Team Trump?

[PatrickforO]

35. Nothing that I know of, yet my cousin is spouting stuff he's heard on right-wing

media. Basically, if you remember the 'controversy' when Waters made some statement to the effect that if you lie like Huckleberry Sanders then you shouldn't be surprised not to be served in restaurants. Something like that. Non-issue to me.

Yet these right-wingers are fixated on that. Absolutely fixated. She's fomenting violence...she's guilty of sedition...she's a traitor the right-wing noise machine screams.

But, remember, this is the same guy who, during our conversation when I mentioned Obama didn't have one scandal, said, "Yeah but we never really got to the bottom of 'fast and furious.'"

My whole point here is not to spout r-w bullshit, but to illustrate how THOROUGHLY propagandized these people actually are. It's fucking scary.

So, like I said, the only way we're going to make this work is show up in record numbers to the polls in November and vote blue. THEN, pressure those we elect to implement a 21st century Fairness Doctrine. We've got to get it so virtually everyone is operating from the same basic set of facts, and we don't have that now, by a long shot. (I say 'virtually' because there will always be wing-nuts).

As to Waters, she's got guts and she's telling it like it is. Trump is absolutely unbalanced, unqualified, profoundly corrupt and treasonous.

[lindysalsagal]

20. Honestly: Sh'e's the masterclass in good politics: There's Nancy, and there's everyone else.

They don't come any better, any smarter, any fiercer.

[DonCoquixote]

22. Nancy, give us a lot more of this

And that will quiet people who think you cannot fight. lot less 'this is off the table" and a lot more double teams with Maxine...

[Scurrilous]

23. K&R

[workinclasszero]

25. Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters are gonna tag team Trump's criminal empire

all the way to Leavenworth!

[Gothmog]

27. I love the AMJOY interview of Nancy Pelosi

[Iggo]

30. ...and so are about 65 million GOP voters.

Be cool.

Be cool.

[riversedge]

32. #Charlottesville ... Trump's agenda is "make America white again" - Nancy Pelosi

[suffragette]

36. Absolutely agree. Wrote the same in my post yesterday.
