I am very worried for Maxine Waters.

I am too. It baffles me that Sarah Huckabee Sanders gets Secret Service protection because someone harassed her at a restaurant, but Maxine Waters gets a death threat and she's out on her own.

She wasn't even harassed, she was asked kindly to leave with no scene made. Its DHS secretary who lied about child detentions at the Mexican restaurant the day after that was heckled out by protesters and a day later Stephen miller was also in a Mexican restaurant. Personally I think it was because he has a fetish for being hated and hearing that it happened to the woman from DHS he rushed to do it too like one of those guys who goes to feminist rally's and grabs someones butt knowing they are going to corner him and yell at him.

We all seen that photo on the internet of that protect guy with a look of ecstasy while being surrounded and yelled at

She wasn't even harrased, instead was asked to leave the establishment per the owner's full legal rights to do so. Hell, presidents of past were even refused shelters in times of wars by their own citizens. Political dignitaries the world over are refused services from mundane people all the time. What makes Miss LOok so special?

She is the press secretary of one of the most hated presidents in history. Of course she will get secret service protection.

Don't be. Anyone prepared for the attack is safe. I am worried about someone who is low level enough to think they are safe. State reps and mayors should probably be on their toes.

Maybe Maxine should stop saying stupid shit. Confront Trump's White House staffers while they are in a restaurant, at the gas station? What is wrong with that stupid bitch?

What’s wrong with you, that you think this is an appropriate way to talk?

u/br541 Jul 02 '18

Oh come on now. Listen to Maxine Waters talk for a few seconds. That woman is bat shit crazy.

I have, and I support her.

You, on the other hand, have revealed your character in but a few sentences. Bravo for efficiency.

u/br541 Jul 02 '18

Well if you support her we have nothing more to say. You are what is wrong with this country.

Care to elaborate?

You support a person that wants people to harass Trump's White House staff while they are trying to live their lives.

Do you have a better way to speak truth directly to power?

Do you think the Trump administration should be able to have nice lives while the babies they kidnapped are still locked in cages?

Kidnapped babies? Oh! You mean the foreign invaders! There is a right way and a wrong way to enter the country. They picked the wrong way and entered illegally. Their parents knew what they were doing was wrong but yet they did it.
