IT: Judge slams Maxine Waters' remarks on Chauvin trial, and... 🌲 Time to legalize pot at the federal level?

I have no problem with Maxine Waters making comments when she was answering questions directed towards her from the media. The fact that republicans suddenly have a problem about a member of congress making a comment speaks to their totally hypocrisy when they NEVER patrol the flapping gums of their own members. Interesting how republicans had absolutely no comment about MTG’s white people caucus, Matt Gaetz passing around nude photos of women he supposedly slept with, Ron Johnson’s multiple racist comments and the constant barrage of nonsense from Gymmie Jordan, Ted Cruz, John Kennedy, Louie Gohmert and Rand Paul to name just a few worthless republicans who constantly get a pass for their disgusting behavior. Perhaps Ms Waters should have said nothing but then that’s what all the racists in American want— to be able to blow their mouths off at any time but it would be asking way too much to allow Black people the same opportunity.

I’m not sure I understand why I’m seeing so many headlines that basically say, “judge slams Maxine Waters...” I don’t think the judges’ comments were “slamming” any individual as much as they were “slamming” politicians in general who comment on trials before a verdict is reached. Waiting until the jury was sequestered would have been a much wiser choice for Waters and all the other politicians and public figures who made comments on this trial.

The more I read and heard portions of what Maxine Walters actually said, the less I am concerned about it. I had read an account that claimed that she told a crowd that Chauvin should be convicted which if true in both content and context, was inappropriate if it could influence jury deliberations. The comments about standing up for their beliefs and being confrontational is more in the spirit of John Lewis’ ‘good trouble’ and I do not see this as an incitement to riot nor as a challenge to the functioning of a jury deliberation. This looks more and more like an intentional disinformation campaign by trumpublicans desperately seeking any molehill which they can magnify into a Mount Vesuvius by artful innuendo and theatric outrage.

The judge apparently doesn’t want to have to deal with reality Yes it is way past time to legalize marijuana

If Democrats were consistent, they would be pulling Maxine Waters up on inciting riots, insurrection and have her impeached like Trump was! How dare she threaten a court with violence unless they reach a certain verdict. She is a danger to our constitution and should be arrested for her outrageous attacks!

I get paid over $94 per hour working from home with 3 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 13k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Here’s what I've been doing...>>>>> www.nifty2.com

HALLELUJAH. Guilty on all 3 COUNTS!!! It’s a start

Aunt Maxine is doing exactly what the people who care about Black People, and living a right life is called to do and I love her for it. She is absolutely brilliant. If the other leaders of Los Angeles had brains would have listened to her long ago and then perhaps the rest of the U.S would have listened to the message sooner too.

Even though I think Ms. Water’s comments were misguided as they relate to the potential harm to Mr. Floyd’s trial, I am APPALLED but not surprised that the the conservative voices once again are so quick to condemn her yet remain silent on the violence and havoc wrought upon the Capital and our Democracy by their ex President.

Please legalize marijuana at the Federal Level.

@Robert, I don’t condone Maxine Waters comments to “get more confrontational”, but are you seriously kidding me? Please cite your evidence that the officer who died on January 6th, died of natural causes. Any political leader who calls for violence against their own people, should have consequences. That includes your savior, tRump.

Maxine Waters probably should not have said what she said when she said it, although a lot of prominent people have weighed in with their opinion on this case. But I do feel the judge definitely should NOT have said what he did about a mistrial! That is far worse, given his position. It’s like a “wink wink” dog whistle that is inappropriately biased.

Maxine needed to keep her comments to her self! She could have so easily said it’s time for change, and a peaceful resolution is the best way ! The violence last May here in Minnesota has caused much damage to the black owned business and neighborhoods ! What we need is someone like Dr King to come to the for front ! I love the energy that Stacey Abrams has, and here leadership to get people to vote! Again we need to get a voting protection act passed at the federal level! I am also not apposed to boycotting business to support these Jim Crow laws that the Republicans have passed ! As Americans our spending choice has great power!

Maxine is ok in my book But Grassley-my relatives with dementia make up numbers and other outlandish crap Georgia is losing 100 million jobs I want to see the entire list of jobs he’s referring to 10.2 million residents in the entire state Here’s my Open public records request Let’s see that list of lost jobs

I think politicians should watch their words and there are certain things they should not comment on. But, the same people slamming Waters are some of the same people who stood behind Trump’s lying and bullying for years. And, defended Trump’s incitement of the Capitol terrorist attack. I’m just saying that it’s hypocritical to believe that Trump shouldn’t be punished, but Waters should be, for a much lesser involvement. If you’re one of those, you’re displaying both misogyny and racism.

If Maxine Waters was a Republican she would have been impeached a long time ago. This is actually her 4th time promoting political violence. The dems are showing their true colors every day with their ignorance and tunnel vision on race. It’s not all about race!! When you focus on race you miss the bigger picture. Like in Chicago a little girl was shot while in the car with her dad in a McDonald’s drive thru. Where’s the outrage? More blacks are killed by each other than cops. Dems are so manipulative of the narrative that crime will continue in their cities and the ignorant will continue voting for them because of their empty promises. Wake up America!

Do not legalize marijuana on federal level. Marijuana is a gateway drug that leads to more potent drugs. We don’t need people high at work or driving impaired. Drugs End All Dreams. D.E.A.D. Don’t do pot your brain will rot! Marijuana damages your brain and your body.

PROOF that nothing has been learned from the death, the murder of George Floyd and the trial of derek chauvin is Congresswoman Maxine Waters being blamed for speaking out against racial injustice thus possibly being cause to overturn the trial’s verdict on appeal. Where’s the outrage and action against former president trump and his cohorts for inciting an insurrection on our nation’s Capitol causing disruption, destruction of property, theft, injury and death? Is it more unacceptable and cause for action when an African-American congresswoman speaks out against the murder of an African-American citizen in the custody of a White police officer than it is for a president of the United States attempting to alter the outcome of a presidential election by inciting an attack, a riot, an insurrection to stop the electoral college vote count?

Maxine Waters is an idiot like most of the liberal Democrats. She and her party preaches violence on other people. Plus, it shows that she doesn’t believe in our judicial system by advocating violence. We are an democratic nation but losing our rights every day. Our judicial system is the law of the land. You can’t advocate violence on a legal court decision. Resign if you can’t live with our democratic process.

Although I don’t care for her statement, I certainly don’t think what she said is ANY MORE inflammatory than what Trump and his cronies said leading up to what happened on Jan. 6. Those who are so incensed regarding her statement yet were apparently “just fine” with the rhetoric of Trump, Cruz and others like them need to keep their B.S. and hypocrisy to themselves.
