You can't say she's 'wishy-washy,' that's for sure. And I certainly agree with her that Donald Trump is simply not good enough to be our president. Liar, cheat, traitor, con-man.

When, indeed, will we be able to pressure Congress to get off their asses and do the right thing?

In the wake of meely mouthed, passive politicians, or arrogant haters who speak nonsense...she and a few others have stepped up to the plate to make strong points strongly.

Although I'm mildly curious how Faux Noize is playing off this latest gaffe, I know I couldn't stomach it.
Shame, and steep karmic debt awaits those who are trying to revive this "Nationalist" crap, beyond belief is how some can even twist the meaning of religious edicts to justify such hateful attitudes.
50 years ago today, televised advertising glorified smoking, drinking and driving ghastly polluting vehicles as glamorous. It would seem Fox Noise has been attempting to resuscitate deplorable attitudes thankfully long forgotten and archived in the halls of magnanimous aberrations. My halo gets stuck on my horns in this context:
As long as Fox and other RW channels are getting this archaic and denying science, perhaps a few new advertising campaigns to encourage the science-haters to prove all us snowflakes wrong! Why believe unseen forces could be dangerous? I'll even pitch in for new advertising to encourage the sort to down quarts of 100 proof liquor straight up, smoking filterless cigarettes sitting in enclosed garages with the car running. Just hook up the teevee to the Hannity show to keep them huffing and puffing. What could go wrong?

Where IS Congress on this duty of theirs? That we've had to endure a YEAR of the offensive, malodorous, fecal discharge that sullies this nations image, is an outrage in itself! And yet - ALL we hear from either side of the aisle is feckless rhetoric that is the music of a dance-on-a-fence opera.
We're cursed with a genuine shit-in-our-face clown that's better suited to an oval bowl than an Oval Office - and yet.... we get nothing but tepid indignation as our "representation". While a LOON loots the Treasury for the uppermost Crud, er Crusts, we get the pleasure of learning how to be a shithole nation.
Do the party whips keep muzzles on all their underlings? I ask that because with nearly 600 voices of representation in DC, it's an amazingly small number (Like Maxine) that we ever hear from. Frustration don't even come CLOSE to describing what so many of us feel as we watch our common soup tureen get drained of what we had filled it with for this nation's needs and future.

She is absolutely right. No one should waste their time listening to this treasonous bigoted liar. The republican congress are complicit in the degradation of our country.

When The Electoral College votes from the super delegates were being counted in Dec. 2016 she was one of the three reps who resisted going through with the process. I called and wrote to thank those three for having the courage to do that. That was the one of my earliest actions to RESIST the Fucking Moron and to try to stop him before the inauguration.

We have to change the Electoral College process as soon as Dems are in control again. I am tired of this happening.
