Actually, Maxine Waters Will Tell You When You're Done Speaking
BY R. ERIC THOMAS

And now a reading from the Book of He Tried It.
Rep. Maxine Waters, chair of House Financial Services Committee and the person who travels the globe during Daylight Savings Time, reclaiming the lost hour like a temporal Santa Claus, had another run-in with Treasury Secretary and part-time robber baron, Steve Mnuchin. Much like their previous encounters, it went so poorly for the Secretary that sources say he is currently holed up in the basement of the Mint trying to erase his name from every dollar so he can start a new life free from shame....
Steve Mnuchin does not realize that he has checked into the Hotel California, situated right in the middle of the state's 43rd district, which has been represented since 2013 by one Maxine Waters. He can check out any time he wants but he can never leave.
Nevertheless, the Treasury Secretary clearly must have mistaken the House Financial Services Committee for the ballpit at McDonald's because he continued to act like it was playtime. He responded to Waters that if she wanted to keep him there and "grill" him, he would cancel his "important meeting" (rolling around on a pile of $100 bills like Demi Moore in Indecent Proposal). He warned however, "I will not be back here. I will be very clear. If that's the way you'd like to have this relationship."...
The look from Rep. Maxine Waters could power the Eastern Seaboard. This is a true fact: there is an entire 45-page section of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal devoted to the energy capabilities of Waters' incandescent incredulity. Honey, who needs a turbine when Maxine Waters is out here decimating also-rans with a glance?!
Steven Mnuchin really tried it with this backtalk and Maxine Waters immediately transformed into Jean Grey as the Phoenix. The entire Capitol went on high alert. Trump called up The Sentinels.
Honest question: does Steve Mnuchin actually think he's time enough for Maxine Waters because, and I repeat, yikes. How are you going to be time enough for anybody when you're sitting in front of the Regina of Reclaimed Time? The General of Gavels! How?!
