Sounds like a loon...

From Wikipedia...

“Personal life

In 2014, Shanahan married Jeremy Asher Kranz, a San Francisco Bay Area investor and finance executive.[3][69] They had dated since 2011.[10] Weeks before their marriage, she began an affair with Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, which Kranz discovered from texts on her phone.[10] Kranz and Shanahan divorced in 2015.[70] Shanahan had met Brin at a yoga festival in Lake Tahoe in 2014;[7] they married in 2018.[7][8] They have a daughter together,[2] born in 2018.[32] Brin and Shanahan maintained an estate at Point Dume in Malibu, California, purchased in 2020.[71]

Shanahan and Brin separated in December 2021,[2][72] and Brin filed for divorce in January 2022.[72] In 2022, the Wall Street Journal reported that a reason for the breakup was a “brief affair” in 2021 between Shanahan and Elon Musk.[72][69] Three people interviewed as part of a 2024 New York Times investigation said that Shanahan and Brin separated after Shanahan had a sexual encounter with Musk in 2021.[10] Shanahan[2] and Musk denied having had an affair.[73][74][16] The Wall Street Journal said: “We are confident in our sourcing, and we stand by our reporting.”[2] Shanahan and Brin had signed a prenuptial agreement. During the divorce proceedings, Shanahan’s attorneys argued that she had signed it under duress, and in mediation sought more than $1 billion of Brin’s $95 billion fortune.[69] The divorce was finalized in 2023 in a confidential arbitration.[7][8][75] Forbes reported that Shanahan likely received around 2.6 million Alphabet Class B shares from Brin, worth $390 million in March 2024, and possibly an additional, equal amount of Class C shares.[45] The New York Times, citing three people with knowledge of Shanahan’s finances, reported she has a net worth over $1 billion, mainly as a result of her marriage to Brin.[10]

In 2023, Shanahan held a “love ceremony” of commitment with Jacob Strumwasser,[76] an advisor at Lightning Labs, a Bitcoin software company.[16] She described the event as a handfasting ceremony influenced by Druidic tradition.[76] The pair met at the Burning Man festival in 2022.[76][74]

From her marriage to Brin, Shanahan has a daughter, who was diagnosed with autism in 2020. A doctor blamed Shanahan and Brin for their daughter’s autism, falsely claiming that it was because Shanahan allowed her infant to receive vaccines and be exposed to artificial light and electromagnetic radiation. The doctor also accused Brin of participating in a plot by the U.S. government and “Big Tech” to use blue light to control the population. Shanahan took his advice and modified her home to limit non-sun light, as well as Wi-Fi and cellular signals. She also converted her swimming pool to saltwater.[16]

“Sounds like a loon...”

Is that a negative in California politics?

For what it’s worth, Nicole is way not guiltier than Kamala.

At the end of the day, for CA, this is just another Hobson’s Choice.

Her bio is like a satiric version of California culture.

If somebody made up this bio nobody would believe it.

:-)

Nicole Shanahan——”People ask about my views on abortion.”

I will speak personally. As a mom, and a person with a womb, I don’t like the feeling of anyone having control over my body. It is coercive. It is wrong.

But, I am also a woman that would not feel right terminating a viable life living inside of me, especially if I am healthy and that baby is healthy.

As someone who believes in the sacredness of life, I can hold both beliefs, simultaneously.

As someone suffering from liberal dementia I can, through the miracle of cognitive dissonance, hold both beliefs and still feel good about myself and morally superior to you, The Great Unwashed MAGA

Don’t care. She flipped MAGA - MAHA and campaigned and voted for Trump, and she could win.

Why are FReepers so hung up about rival personal stuff?

Shanahan on abortion: Sounds like “safe, legal & rare” to me.

I fortunately do not live in Kalifornia (in AL) and don’t know the candidates. I figure it’s good to take what we can get and and pretty much any R will be an improvement.

Reagan’s philosophy was we better ourselves by taking what we can get. Iow, don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

She must have been ordered to temper her pro-life beliefs.

I’ve seen her initial statements where she was unabashedly pro-life.
