The death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Thursday night has left California Gov. Gavin Newsom with the job of appointing a replacement to serve the remaining 15 months of her term — a choice he hoped never to have to make.

Newsom initially promised in 2021 to pick a black woman to replace Feinstein if she was unable to remain in the Senate through January 2025. That was in response to the outcry from some quarters after he appointed then-California Secretary of State Alex Padilla to replace Sen. Kamala Harris after her election as vice president.

After Feinstein announced earlier this year that she would not run for another term, three prominent House Democratic lawmakers — Reps. Adam Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee — rushed to take her place, setting up a bitter and expensive primary fight.

It depends on what angle you view their booty.

I agree.

How? They make her an offer she can’t refuse.

How tricky can it be to name a replacement Senator? Go to a dementia ward, find an 80+ year old patient, get them a suit and an airline ticket to DC and prop them up in the background while your handpicked staffers do all the work and voting on your order, just most of the other Senators these days.

Probably less. I saw her on that show, and had no idea she might be part black.

Yes, but she identifies as black, just like gruesome Newsom identifies as intelligent.

Reality and ‘identity’ are most often at odds!

The “ladies” of the family are so trashy that it’s surprising that any man of any race would touch them with a ten foot pole. Never mind how rich they are. They’re too trashy even for most of the movie and entertainment crowd. The one exception is that very narrow slice of lowlifes who celebrate ho culture, and they seem to be mostly black.

Advertisers seem to love them because they’re clickbait for the braindead crowd of celebrity worshiping young women.
