Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said on Monday that she remains intent on finishing out her term in the Senate and will decide this spring on whether to call it quits in 2024.

“Yes. Absolutely,” she told the Los Angeles Times about finishing her term. “There’s still two years, you know. A lot can happen in two years.” Feinstein, 89, is the oldest member of the upper chamber and speculation has run rampant since her 2018 win over when she would retire, with questions mounting in recent years about her mental acuity and fitness to serve.

Her latest remarks, health permitting, could put an end to the possibility of the fifth-term senator stepping down in time to allow California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) to appoint her successor.

Other top California Democrats have already signaled plans to potentially seek the seat, including Reps. Adam Schiff, Ro Khanna, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee.

Retire already you ding bat

She belongs in a jail cell. Normally I do not say things like that about the elderly, but in this case, I figure it applies to her and many of her colleagues.

Considering her possible successors, I say the old bird should hang in there for another term.

Perspective:

The corrupt money income Senator Feinstein rakes in can be measured in $$$/heartbeat.

Senility is not a bar to holding federal office. Many, many federal judges have the same problem, and no one cares about the mess these people make. We really need a fixed retirement age, especially for judges.

Just another Democrat cardboard cutout, with her staffers voting for her.

Someone in higher authority nay have other plans. And I don’t mean branDUHn. 🤔😳

Power is addicting. She and her staffers are hungry for more. There is no other explanation why a senile 87 y/o is still in her position.

FineSwine has a date soon coming with the Reaper (the sooner, the better).
He’s just waiting for the “green light”.
In the meantime, he’s sharpening up his scythe just for this “special list” he’s been given.
He’s got a list and checking it twice....and he ain’t no Santa Claus.

The list is long, but reaper is more than capable. He’s an expert at it and been doing it for years. He enjoys “special lists”, especially when they’re corrupt to their very inner core as his scythe makes a certain sound with em during the “harvesting”.
Deep State don’t like it, but there’s nothing they can do to stop him.....LOL.

I’ve heard she’s having some obvious cognitive problems. It’s hard to believe she would run for another six year term in 2024.

[Bonemaker]

I don’t want to wish her ill health but have ill health Feinstein.

Senility is not a bar to holding federal office.≤br> I remember in HS my history teacher telling us young skulls full of mush how William O Douglas was known to take siestas in the middle of deliberations. Would Roe v Wade turned out differently if the senile old bat were a little more attentive?

Feinstein ‘absolutely’ intends to finish Senate term...and then it will be done for.

Throughout history and around the globe socialist elite liberals need to be physically extracted from office..
