Dianne Feinstein Continues to be a Good Argument for Term-Limits

he spent a long day getting his humiliation fix so now it is time for a pump and dump into @Jenee , drink a bud light, ride his bike, burp and fall asleep to kid rock like a real man.

liberals owned baby!

Obligatory Diane Feinstein sucks cocks in hell.

Too soon?

I dunno man, the Confederate flag stuff was in the 80's, as part of her efforts to get a VP nomination.

In an era when one of the top-rated TV shows in the country had a car with that painted on the roof. Remember, unlike the Germans, we didn’t try to distance ourselves from our racist past. The Dollop did a good episode on her, and they’re definitely not fans of hers.

Not soon enough

Like you're sitting shiva over the loss of a "woke" """liberal""" Senator

Remember how popular such things used to be?

Rooting for Chuck to put Fetterman in her spot on Judiciary.

Assuming McConnell doesn't use an arcane procedural quirk to keep her seat open, block any Biden judicial nominees from advancing to the floor, and get backed by Joe Manchin in doing so on the basis of "Senate traditions and collegiality."

I am hoping for him to pass too. Turtles do live long lives, but he is glitching.

Are there any stairs near Mitch’s office? Hate for him to fall down them again.

we could put Trump behind him and let nature do the thing.

Interesting that nobody's mentioned the time she took on the CIA.

Lots more at the link.

FWIW, they've already gone on record saying her death isn't the same as her disability and replacing someone after a death is a routine thing that won't be interfered with.

I mean, yes they lie, and Rand Paul does his own thing in the best of times but the CLAIM is that it won't be an issue.

Gavin Newsom picks Laphonza Butler as Dianne Feinstein replacement - POLITICO

California’s governor chose a labor leader turned power player to serve in the Senate, and an adviser told POLITICO there were no preconditions about whether she could run in 2024.


California Gov. Gavin Newsom will appoint EMILY’s List President Laphonza Butler to fill the seat of the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein, elevating the head of a fundraising juggernaut that works to elect Democratic women who support abortion rights, according to a person familiar with the decision.

Newsom is moving swiftly to name the next senator, two days after Feinstein’s death and just as a perilously split Congress narrowly averted a government shutdown. Senate Democrats are in need of every vote in the closely divided chamber.

The announcement was expected to come Monday, and an adviser to the governor, Anthony York, told POLITICO that Newsom is making his appointment without putting limitations or preconditions on his pick running for the seat in 2024. That means Butler could decide to join the sprawling and competitive field of Democratic contenders seeking to succeed Feinstein, with special elections now layered on top of the March primary and November runoff.



Newsom’s selection of Butler comes at a moment of immense change in California’s political establishment, with millions of people still mourning the death of Feinstein, the barrier-breaking Senate lioness. Meanwhile the California governor, who was mentored by Feinstein, has been grappling with his own personal grief and the political ramifications of his choice to succeed her.

The people who spoke with POLITICO ahead of the announcement were granted anonymity to disclose internal deliberations.

Newsom faced considerable pressure around the decision after first pledging to name a Black woman to the seat. Several potential nominees said publicly they were not interested. Some others privately expressed trepidation about accepting a short-term appointment and then having to immediately gear up for what would be a five-month campaign.

The swift nature of Newsom’s appointment cuts politicians and their allies off from mounting more sustained efforts to lobby the governor and his inner circle over his pick. And it halts interest groups that were starting to apply pressure on him, including over the question of whether he would require them to serve only temporarily. On Sunday, Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford wrote to Newsom urging him to appoint Rep. Barbara Lee, a candidate for the Senate whom the governor recently ruled out over worries about giving someone a leg up.

Well, silver lining, Weber will still be running California's elections competently.

I don’t think that would have been an issue.

But isn’t this newbie living in Maryland?

Apparently maintained a residence in both, usually these things go back to "where do they vote?" and I've not seen clear reporting on that point.
