She belongs in jail

[@lamt5202]

she does. why?

[@Slick-vo9hp]

@@lamt5202You’re competent enough to operate a phone and make it here and watch the video so you should be capable to do your own research and figure out why this trash isn’t wanted or liked.

[@dc8962]

One hateful women!

[@Spdr1913]

Surprised she remembers where she is

[@loreicmaster]

The Democrats Checks have already been cashed they have to do as their globalist masters demand now, its not her fault...........

[@petercristo992]

Lmao. 😅

[@loreicmaster]

YT censored my speech on my last comment here, must have been accurate, they hate the Truth.

[@sathdk79]

They’d love the power to turn off your money and life with a light-switch.

[@allenfried7196]

Anything this goofy woman is in favor of you know is a disaster

[@NHLblkgurl]

Maybe you can help out with all that Fannie Mae money you and Sydney walked away with in the 2008 crash, your One United “affordable housing” specialist bank foreclosed on so many POC?

[@arnoldziffel4943]

It’s okay. It was just a little TARP money. And Congresswoman Waters probably came out on top. So one POC got something out of it. It’s too bad we’re led by a group of crooks.

[@joycedecker7252]

Is that Maxine Waters? I thought it was James Brown!

[@mikemyers7539]

I thought that was Al Sharpton

[@jumpupdown2556]

​@JasonBrown-sg6xw yep, I much preferred their 'James Brown' character to this gIobalist puppet.

[@NiceterCoolster]

Please don’t insult James brown.

[@am4961]

Boy did she ever aggressively grab that mic. Calm down maxie babs

[@mrradman2986]

CBDC doesn't offer anything more than conventional currency which serves us well other than total state control of citizens financial assets. They are a tool for fascism. Bear this in mind when viewing those in favour of this development.

[@NiceterCoolster]

💯

[@RedWaveGraphics]

Absolutely not.

[@Gerry-t8x]

He should fire her

[@Gerry-t8x]

Mrs corruption lock her up

[@Ozzy-fm4vl]

Shes a hypocrite

[@philewing5100]

Hell no!

[@kevinminne1460]

This woman is absolutely nuts!!!

[@sableann4255]

100% AGREE

[@mrradman2986]

She doesn't look well.

[@FortCaldwell]

So does she support it or is she in opposition?

[@gotrekgurnisson9934]

Who knows... probably supports it. They've all gone full totalitarian.

[@helenmcknight7824]

She needs to worry about her district

[@micahgamache2289]

It’s one thing to not write your own speech (she clearly has no idea what she is talking about), it’s something different altogether to deliver it like the 2nd grade narrator at a school christmas pageant.

[@Justanoldrunner]

James Brown wants his wig back

Thanks to what you helped put in the White House in 2020.

[@joeblo5804]

i haven't seen this poverty pimp in a while. Starting to look like that bass I caught and accidentally left on the dock for a week.

[@ifyousayso9392]

Your racism couldn’t be more apparent.

[@Eve.Bakerr]

I see Maxine and I remember that episode of SpongeBob where he had a wig for so long that it got infested with bugs 😁

[@ifyousayso9392]

Thank you Auntie Maxine!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 telling the TRUTH.

[@fensterrose1585]

Well at least she's honest about trying to get us up to speed with China and Russia. What's not to like?!

[@PierretteMarie-celineTur-mo5nx]

Man i wonder who wrote that for her.

George Jeffersons mother still causing problems..😂😂

[@Rolandjes37]

It we just came to agreement with China for the dept an not obligated to pay them back. We could low prize for products and materials. Let us be an transparent and honest, that's a lot money and there no way in a half a millennium, It would be possible to pay that back. And if we owe Great Britain It makes it nearly losing battle in this country to ever get out of debt. We buy everything from China from TVs to pencils I have been for a long time. We've been working with them as co-partners and consuming their products. So they can work with us I'm forgetting the debt we owe them. On one side we can just forget about that money and go on and live our life lower prices for materials and products for Americans. But that means that we can't buy China's products for what they're selling for. It's not very hard of a decision to Come to an agreement on What both countries want. And move on with our lives our children don't have to pay the cost of some politicians agreement borrow money from China.

I agree with Rep Waters that we should not fall behind other economies, particularly China, when it comes to economic innovation. If CBDC is a part of the future, we should be at the forefront in implementing in a safe and secure way with the best interests of American people in mind. I will never be on board, however, with centralized banking and the fact that the Fed reserve is a FOR PROFIT bank that has quite a lot of economic weight in our country. I may be contradicting myself since Central Bank is essential to a CBDC; although I am not a fan of a for profit central bank, it's what we got and not going anywhere any time soon. Might as well make the most of it and not fall behind our greatest competitors with regards to digital global currency.

How many times government get a power and restrain themselves.

[@kalimd8393]

I struggle to understand the left leanings faith in government. I do believe for the most part they work for the best interests of society but giving keys to pandoras box, and not understanding whats inside has proven repeatedly to end in disaster.

The USA international trade dollar is the cornerstone to their primacy. Digital currency undermines that power Power to weaponize it Power to prosper with massive debt > 35T+ > print money because it is needed worldwide China - BRICS - It looks like digital currency will be their international trade tool to avoid the USA weapon. The USA frowns on its internal use because it will add to the usd's decreasing power. How BRICS+ implements their new international trade system is very complicated Will it be centralized? Will it be backed by gold? One thing for sure is the USD & petrol dollar are being rejected USA has dug a massive hole by weaponizing the "golden goose". Will they keep digging, Entitled affluence will demand it. The crunch is coming, inevitable Will the USA go down swinging? BRICS+ is a trade bloc. USA can't compete and will not cooperate. BRICS+ - 10 nations + dozens interested. Can you name them? Can you see the resources and production capability they control BRICS+ is the future
