Diane Feinstein needs to resign.

[Moonbeam]

I blame that stupid young fuck Newsom for this. He is the reason she can’t resign.

He’s the one with the ego problem setting himself up for a future Presidential bid, playing the liberal identity politics and virtue signaling card.

 

[eelw]

Wait.. what?!
it's not a simple majority?
50 dems + vp???

To even bring it to the floor requires full senate to agree to. But actual vote, yeah just 50+

so what is she afraid that newrom will do?

That makes no sense.
it didnt require a filibuster proof majority to install her as committee chair but requires one to replace her?

 

[Indus]

I don't mean to sound ageist, but she's pushing 90 and yeah, that means she needs to GTFO. She said she isn't seeking another term, so in the worst case, we have another 20 or so months.

We got fucked by RGB. We're gonna get fucked by Feinstein.

Hopefully we don't get fucked by Biden. But honestly it's way past time.. to make term limits a thing.. max age of 70!

 

[Moonbeam]

so what is she afraid that newrom will do?

It’s not a question of fear but one of political fairness. The people of California should pick their Senator and there are numerous popular Democrats that will seek it next election. Anybody who gets it by governor appointment will have an advantage to be elected to it if they already have it. There will thus be powerful forces in the Democratic party that will seek she finish her term, not to mention people like me who don’t want Newsom’s politicking ruining the possibilities of who I want to win.

They will have that chance. Takes a long time to spin up a special election and meanwhile Biden isn't getting justice positions filled.

 

[Moonbeam]

Let me add that I am a radical leftist and want Katie Porter for Senator, but the people of California are, in my opinion, stupidly centrists which makes Adam Schiff the best fit for the people of California, probably, in my opinion. I have no objection to a woman for the job, obviously, and I would be fine also with someone black, but I would not seek political approval virtue signaling to either women or blacks. I find Newsom contemptible for doing so. What possible connection can gender or race have to do with qualifications for political office?

I seek the best person to destroy the connection between wealth and political agenda. I want the Republican Party to be destroyed mercilessly and without compromise. That aim is the only criterion that matters to me. Everybody is wound up over losing a democracy that is already dead.

You know that is a lie you make because you can’t control your emotional panic. You want some people fucked over so you can hold yourself together because everything you fear already happened and you don’t want to remember.

Feinstein will be back, be replaced by the Senate, or quit and be replaced by Newsom and the world will carry on regardless. In no time at all you will turn your attention to some new end of the world with all this forgotten.

 

[JEDI]

We got fucked by RGB. We're gonna get fucked by Feinstein.

Why?
if she dies in office, CA's Dem gov will pick a dem to replace her.

That judge Kasmerick who put a hold on the abortion drug was the ONLY judge in the district which allowed Pubs to judge shop. That alone kinda illustrates my point.

Did we learn nothing from RBG? That cost Obama a seat on SCOTUS

It isn't what you see that I have a problem with. There is the question, however, of what learning anything means. What we learn as children is to duck, to conform when trouble comes, fight or flight depending on the situation. This habituates us to react automatically and unconsciously to threats we perceive. BOO! will work just fine. So we are victims, of a kind, to our imaginations and memories of the past. Look at the number of people in this forum that have on ignore. Their egotistical arrogant self importance will turn a gnat flying in their face into a mortal threat to their lives. How dare it exist, splat. People can't handle stress because there is too much of it produced by thought riddled imagination.

Nobody is going to learn anything in a state like that, much less react rationally. How did we ever get to a place where conservatives have spent decades taking over the judicial system. It's not going to be fixed in a day and we shouldn't be knocking over all kinds of milk wagons on the way. There is a whole world of dumb ass reactionaries to educate. The place for me to begin is fixing myself. What I talk about is the little I believe I have learned. Anyway. love you as best I can.

Can't fix it overnight but you don't just standby while the boat actively leaks.

Oh puhlease.. if she dies in december 2024 but can't get back to Washington till then.. name a worse scenario than that!

The one that's keeping me up at night is the fear that the Supreme Court will rule the constitution unconstitutional. I mean, in for paranoia, in for a pound rather than a penny, right?

Well they can't rule it unconstitutional but they can sure say.. rapists aren't criminals but just angels sent by god to procreate and freedom of religion guarantees them to do god's will!

Did your AR-15 type this or are you really this far gone?

 

[A///]

I really do wish that there was a mandatory retirement/age limit for congress. 70 would be nice, maybe 75; but having octogenarians in congress is just nuts. Some of those folks are on Parkinson's and Alzheimer drugs (from an expose' years ago).

And some of them are on hard drugs.

 

[A///]

The focus is due to pointed votes and confirmations that she herself is specifically holding up or delaying, and causing more risk of appointments failing.

THAT is why she specifically RIGHT NOW needs to GTFO. IMO it has nothing to do with sexism. Ageism maybe, but nothing to do with her being a woman. She is fucking shit up RIGHT NOW, it isn't some vague and generalized notion of how she might affect her party's progress in doing their jobs. She already has been.

That's one issue. The other is most of congress is out of touch with what they want to pass laws on. Most don't grasp simple technology and are amazed when they're caught out on it or have to be corrected by CEOs called in to testify. If being clueless or stupid is a quality trait of a politician then I want out.

Sorta, that was just me putting on my tough guy liberal ageism suit and and spouting off like I knew what I was talking about. Mirrors are my thing.

I was just checking. Blaming someone else for Feinstein making absolutely terrible decisions the last few years is funny. At this point she is noticeably hurting this country.

I am so far to the left and off the left right axis I have wanted business class Democrats like her out of office since forever, thank you. I dislike hor politics so much, I voted Republican against her for the only time in my life and the Republican;, of course, was just another sleepwalking conservatively programmed partisan hack.

Don’t forget, I am in a minority of everything so my vote never cOunts for anything.

I see the political spectrum as two kinds of victims, people who could only survive the cultural ignorance we live in caused by psychological abuse, and those who survived by taking up causes that blaming the abusers.

Both are reactionary and psychologically ignorant of the origin of their condition. Politically I have two choices, haters who hate because it was the only way they could survive and haters who hate haters for what those first kind of haters have become. The real issue is not haters. That’s both sides.

The real issue is hate itself, what it is, how we came to feel it, and is it possible to break free. The only way that hate can end is within yourself. This is so little understood I talk about it. Sadly, of course, when we hear that the cause of all the worlds misery is within us as is the cure it’s hard to take. We are all engaged in a holy war against the other.

So what we hear someone say the hatred that drives our holy war for justice is the cause of all our suffering, we can hear it only as someone else.’s holy recriminations of the kind we do ourselves.

So it’s always kill the messenger. But look on the bright side. Your hate of hatred can only come from your own internalized contempt for for being called a worthless hater yourself in childhood, but none of that was true. If you didn’t believe yourself, if you didn’t deny you do, you would know you are really OK.

Next time you get angry say to yourself in a nice way, there I go again preferring to blame somebody else to avoid feeling my own self hating pain. Maybe if you stop buying into how you justify that anger and be a bit nicer out there, it will lead to you being a little nicer to yourself.

Also I think it OK to feel rage so long as you direct it at others as little as you can. Look to understand what set you off.

That's a long way for you to say you hate Newsom so much that you let your hatred of him blame him for Feinstein's own actions.

You pick awfully long-winded ways to state what could be said in two sentences, IMO.

"Treat others as you wish to be treated"
"Be the change that you wish to see in the world"

The rest is just egotistical pontification and bloviating, as though you are the love-child of Ghandi and Freud.

Now spin the same old tired bullshit about me not being able to see the "truth" because I do not want to awaken. 🙄

 

[pcgeek11]

Between Feinstein and Fetterman they have been in quite a pickle.

Feinstein missed 60 votes.
Fetterman has missed 66 votes.
Harris has had to vote for tie breakers 3 times.
