The new junior senator from California is not simply going to step in to all of Feinstein's committee positions. So that "power" would be limited.captkirk said:They crave power more than moneyCheeseSndwch said:
I will never understand why politicians that appear to have all the means in the world to enjoy life in retirement choose to hang on to power into their dying days.

Because politicians like Feinstein are altruistic public servants and live only to serve the American people and protect our democracy.CheeseSndwch said:

I wish I could see you in person try to say that with a straight face. Bet you couldn't even while typing.
Well done, sir. This is how you dry sarcasm.

Will she still remain in office?
MOSTLY dead
From earlier this month after Newsom indicated he would appoint a placeholder for Feinstein's seat instead of meddling in the Dem primary. Lee is currently trailing Porter and Schiff, so choosing her would definitely upset that apple cart and piss of Pelosi, who backs Schiff.
I am troubled by the Governor’s remarks. The idea that a Black woman should be appointed only as a caretaker to simply check a box is insulting to countless Black women across this country who have carried the Democratic Party to victory election after election. https://t.co/Q5Q3jznuFd

Well... bye.
After seeing and being there for that, you'd think she'd value her life a bit more than dying as a 90 year old sitting Senator.aggie93 said:
RIP for Feinstein. This was the moment that defined her early political career, she was the one who made the announcement about the double assassination of Milk and Moscone and she was very close to both on the SF Board of Supervisors.

Pelosi you're on deck.
for us conservatives though she was probably the best we could hope fordoubledog said:
T&P for her family. Disgust for her senatorial staff for elder abuse.
her replacement is going to be worse for the conservative movement
RIP.
Only thing positive I can say about her is there was an element of decorum she had for other senators. Even Josh Hawley talked about it.
I absolutely HATED her policy positions for the most part.
But she is the poster card for term limits.

Senators have to be at least 30 when they take office.Get Off My Lawn said:
Fun wrinkle: Gavin wants to make a run at president, so he MAY temper his pick as to pretend he's not the dyed blue leftist that he is…
Likely Selection Criteria :
doesn't hurt newsome's electability
party-obedient
female
feminist ("continues feinstein's legacy")
bonus points for a minority
bonus points for san fransisco associated
aged 25 - 50
politically active
I think he's looking for a CA version of Tulsi Gabbard w/ a bit more party loyalty.
China, Satan, Soros, lot's of folks wanting to keep her around. Their causes were all much bigger than any one person's peaceful golden years, and she did sell her soul, after all. A deal is a deal..atmtws said:
Rumor has it she's still voting for Joe next year.
Still feel bad that the Chinese wouldn't let her retire years ago so she could enjoy the rest of her life….
She'll probably vote tomorrow too.Sims said:
Interestingly enough, she cast votes on senate business as recently as yesterday.
Prayers sent for her family.
I can see her being surgically attached to newsom's torso and her telling us to start the reactor from time to time.
May Her Memory be Eternal

As if those Marxists would actually switch to republican in the general election.
Who the F does she think she is kidding?
Nm, Not worth it.

Pathetic we have people in that condition making decisions for this country. Greedy, power-hungry people who never want to give up that power make me sick. And the horrible people around her propping this up everyday are the worst this country has to offer.
It's not just the old people. Look at Fetterman. The guy is basically mentally ill and an idiot on top of that and he's there as well. Then there's AOC who is a complete moron and then we have two literally anti Semitic pieces of **** in Tlaib and Omar. It's just disgusting all around now there are some Republican people that are pieces of crap too but the left is just truly disgusting.
Currently a happy listless vessel and deplorable. #FJB TRUMP 2024.
Honest question. Did you really pray for them before you posted this or is it just an internet response?Ags77 said:

I'm sure Newsome will pick some progressive nut bag that's black/non binary/immigrant/woman?/little person/lesbian.

All the Democrats care about is race. So sick of that crap. How about we get the best people into these positions. Oh wait, none of the Democrats are best people.

As an Orthodox Christian it is something we say when someone passes away. I am a conservative Christian who does not mourn her loss in the political realm but she has family that will miss her.IslanderAg04 said:Aggie97 said:
