Dianne Feinstein . . As her health declined, her staff began to follow her wherever she goes in the Capitol..

"They will not let her leave by herself, but she doesn't even know it," a former staffer said.

Dianne Feinstein's office makes sure a staff member constantly follows the senator around the Capitol out of concern for what she might say to reporters amid her declining health and old age, multiple sources told Rolling Stone.

...

Feinstein returned to the Senate on Wednesday after spending nearly three months away from Washington due to a shingles infection. But her mental acuity has also faced scrutiny in recent years with reports revealing how the 89-year-old senator would at times forget conversations and struggle with her short-term memory.

Shortly before her hospitalization in March, Insider reported how Feinstein seemed confused about how she voted on the Senate floor.

For the past few years, Feinstein's staff felt it necessary to ensure the senator is never alone when she walks around the Capitol,

...

Feinstein's office developed the system without her knowing.

"They will not let her leave by herself, but she doesn't even know it," Purley said.

Fellow Democratic colleagues, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have recently called for the longtime senator's immediate resignation.

Yup—the US .gov has that late stage Soviet Union feel to it—except even the doddering fools running the Soviet Union were not insane enough to attack white people.

Perhaps they’ll add an old folks room with hospital beds. Their caregivers can push the call bell for a yes vote.

Between Feinstein and Fetterman, the Democrats are going to have to open a Senate Nursing Home.

I do wonder all the stuff she said to her spy driver the last 20 years.

I think Fetterman, Biden, and Feinstein need an AI Robot to accompany them wherever they go. With the technowledgy that prevents them from bumping into a wall or any object. Similar to a vacuum cleaner.

Just Feinstein? Aren’t most of them drunk or on drugs, so in need of handlers?

Both parties have a fair amount of maintenance and management to do. I.E. Senator Grassley will be 90 years old in about four months.

White is a major disqualifier.

Actual female is a negative now that trans is so stylish.

And Jewish? Who cares, the Dems have that vote pretty much locked up?

True. But I have to say that I hope I have Grassley’s health and mental clarity when I’m 90 years old.

This Democrat Party strategists and the Leftist media that is in lock step with them a couple of months ago launched this media blitz, which is NOT really about Feinstein’s age or health. That’s the facade and people have been following like lemmings in discussing her age, etc. The Democrat Party propaganda wing is playing a simple chess game with the public. The Democrats and their handlers decided a couple of months ago to launch a PR blitz that pushes Senator Dianne Feinstein’s age as a big media issue all over the Leftist press and they did it for one reason and one reason: To get her position vacated now in order to get the cringworthy proven colossal liar, California Democrat Congressman Adam Schiff to move onward and upward in taking over Feinstein’s Senate seat. There he can wield even more dirty tricks and more easily as a member of the upper chamber of Congress. Those California senate positions are held for a long, long time. The Leftist media has run with the facade “issue,” and the public don’t realize they’re being manipulated. This media blitz about Feinststein’s age is a handy facade, because she is indeed old, but that’s not what is driving this drum beat to get her to retire sooner, rather than later.

They can run on the “Senile and more Senile” Ticket.
And the Democrat-MSM would back them 110%
