Feinstein employed a Chinese spy for 20 years. He is not in jail.

We have filled this nation with too many immigrants. Far too many do not value America except for their personal benefit. Their actual love is for the old country.

We are on a rocketsled to ancient Rome.

It is not an exaggeration or hyperbole to assert that California’s fealty is stronger towards Beijing than it is to Washington D.C.

Should have gotten degrees in sucking Chinese ass or acting instead of nuke engineering. Hope no one drops one in US, I will be unavailable doing something very unimportant and getting allot of money for it.

More detail from the article:

Meng’s $1.7 million compensation—comprising $1.5 million in pay and roughly $200,000 in benefits—far exceeds that of his predecessor, Theodore Eliopoulos, whom Meng replaced in January 2019. Eliopoulos made just shy of $1 million in total compensation in all of 2018. Meng’s 2019 salary also far exceeded that of the second-most compensated California state employee, who made less than $1.3 million.

So he got a CA taxpayer bonus of $200k - for moving CA taxpayer money around to favored Chinese companies? Besides the salary of $1.5 million?

And anyone should wonder why flyover states do NOT want to bail out California politicians?

Great pay to sit behind a desk, plus a great pension and an incredible health plan?

And the Dems want to bail out CA union members, why?!
