Maxine Waters Tag

The "impeach Trump" movement started on inauguration day, if not before.  From unserious partisans like Maxine Waters pledging her waking hours to ensuring that the president be impeached to the mainstream media chiming in with articles from the Washington Post and the New York Times.

I've been meaning to post about Obama's speech to the Congressional Black Caucus, now famous for its "stop complainin" verbiage: "I expect all of you to march with me and press on.  Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop ...
