Most delicious notion of Dems winning the house next week......

[sunonmars]

Most Delicious Notion of 2018:

If Donald Trump’s GOP loses control of the House, the new chairperson of the powerful Financial Services Committee (with its subpoena powers and oversight authority to examine Trump family financial wrongdoing) is likely to be:

Maxine Waters.

.......................................

I'd pay good money for a front row seat of that one.....because she will take that piece of shit down.

[PearliePoo2]

1. Yep. She detests him, she's pissed and she's going to get his tax returns.

[sunonmars]

2. Anyone going up against her in that position would be scared shitless. I know I would.

[Demovictory9]

3. "low IQ" Waters

that would be WONDERFUL

[GopherGal]

23. Repugs attacking Maxine, Nancy, Liz

Gotta give them credit, those Repugnicans choose wisely whom to be afraid of...

[PearliePoo2]

4. And Maxine isn't the only one pissed and motivated either!

The 116th Congress will be sworn in January 3rd, 2019.

Keep your eye on these people and their respective committees:


Rep. Adam Schiff (D-28th-CA) Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-10th-NY) Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-43rd-CA) Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee


They are going to be VERY busy, dedicated and motivated Representatives doing their jobs and upholding the oath to which they raised their hand and swore to.

They're gonna need freakin' wheelbarrows to carry the subpoenas coming out of their committee rooms!

I am literally counting the days!

Speaking of paying money, I'd pay serious coin to watch Adam Schiff say to Devin Nunes (Traitor-CA-22), "Give me my gavel, asshole."

[sunonmars]

5. If Nunes somehow survives and Dems win the house, I bet he doesn't come back in January.

[PearliePoo2]

10. Nune's district is full of red hat MAGA farming idiots who will vote against their own interests.

The tariffs are killing the prices on their fruit and nut industries but their racist hatred (for now) is a higher priority.

I'm hoping Bob Mueller has a microscope up Devin's Putin-loving ass!

11. Agree our people will be the professionals they're all

supposed to be.

Most can remember back before traditional conservatives were purged from the Republican congress, of course, and replaced with the corrupt right wing extremists and unprincipled opportunists they have to work with now. Even so, though the MSM don't report it, Repubs and Dems have been working together all along to pass legislation they can agree on, and they will have to maintain working relationships.

I do wonder how much of the immense and extremely widespread corruption we can take on at once and at this time. Our opponents outside government, including media and business, have enormous power and will not be voted "out" at all. They will continue affecting events. Not incidentally, how much investigation will a very divided electorate support, instead of being overwhelmed and deciding to believe claims that it's all Democratic corruption and misuse of power?

[PearliePoo2]

12. I'm thinking (and hoping) that the Democrats on these Committees have had 2 years to meet...

and huddle together to come up with their "game plan" to avoid what you rightly point out, overwhelming the electorate.

But I agree we're in uncharted waters here with unprecedented corruption to investigate! It's mind-blowing.

These people are all professional and "wicked smart". God speed you guys and gals! Roll up your sleeves and get to it!

[Hortensis]

20. :) They're "wicked smart," all right. I've noticed that

when power's fairly balanced, if conservatives declare war liberals pound them every time. Strong conservative ways of thinking, or just reacting, in government create incompetence. Stealing for the wealthy And in a liberal democracy, we hold the principled high ground, which still has the law at its core.

Our people must be so excited and eager to start, but also grimly aware of the enormous battles raging and ahead. Not just the WH and Republican caucuses, but much of the national media, most business, and most of those belonging to the new ultrawealthy classes are going to be fighting the Democratic Party for every inch, supported by half the electorate. And Russia.

God! What an amazing job to have. Will they even know just how much power they'll have to work with by the end of Wednesday? Or could it drag out for weeks?

6. I like the idea of reducing Retrumplican staff to

One person per legislator and making Paul Ryan share a broom closet with the house janitorial staff.

Going thru resumes and removing any staff that has even googled the Federalist Society would also be a good start.

Retrumplicans must face some punitive measures.

[sunonmars]

7. Ryan aint gonna be there, he's retired.

[Generic Brad]

18. We can still stuff him in a broom closet

It's not like he hasn't earned it.

[bottomofthehill]

16. The majority should adjust the committee ratios any way they want

Realizing they may not be the Majority forever, but on the Congressional staff (those who are to address constituent issues), should be kept at 18 full time staff and 4 part time staff no matter what party you are with.

[GoCubsGo]

8. As head of the Judiciary Committee, Adam Schiff would have them, as well.

Almost as good as Auntie Maxine having them.

[sunonmars]

9. I never tire of hearing "reclaiming my time"

[The Liberal Lion]

13. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

there will be an answer
Let it be

[dalton99a]

14. Make it happen. GOTV!

[rurallib]

15. Now I understand why Waters has been so singled out for Trump's attacks

and I thought it was only racism.

[gordianot]

17. Karma without having to die.

GOTV

[pazzyanne]

19. Oh, please, please, please!

Karma would be sweet. Love Auntie Maxine who is a strong intelligent, fierce woman!

[Stinky The Clown]

21. How sweet it would be!

[workinclasszero]

22. I love Maxine Waters!

She is awesome!
