Feinstein Needs to Retire

[SamSpade]

It would appear she didn't even KNOW she was gone.

And this is why we need to stop treating people in office like Grandpa and Grandma, excusing their foibles and saying oh poor Diane. She's a freaking Senator and states SHOULD put their best people in. Not shrug and just vote for the D - or the R.

If this was your surgeon - or your airline pilot - would you want them in charge?

Pack a Airbus 380 with Democrat Senators and Congress critters, put Diane in the cockpit at the controls and after take off have the pilot secure the door, grab a chute and bail out.

See how things play out.

She should have been gone a long time ago.

By "gone" is it meant to mean "not working"?

So far in 2023 she has sponsored 15 pieces of legislation, co-sponsored another 140, and had remarks entered into the Congressional Record 16 times. It seems she is doing something, whether on the Hill or not.

As to States putting "their best people in", this is probably their best (it is California after all). And unless the Senator dies, resigns, or gets expelled the States have no say once they have been elected.

Is she feeble and beyond her "use by date"? Yep, I would agree, but again there isn't anything that can be done unless you get 67 Senators declare to expel her.

Or the rules of the body that allows for remote participation.

I have no doubt that is exactly how the Dems will spin it - that she MEANT that she was still doing stuff - not that she hadn't taken a leave of absence. But it doesn't sound like it. This seems a clear case of just own up to the damned truth instead of spinning everything.

The Emperor has NO CLOTHES. Own it.

Maybe its me, but a "leave of absence", as I understand the term, is where one neither works nor are they paid. That doesn't seem the case here.

I don't know - but I've read a handful of articles - like this one - from Slate

I asked her how she was feeling.
“Oh, I’m feeling fine. I have a problem with the leg.” A fellow reporter staking out the elevator asked what was wrong with the leg.
“Well, nothing that’s anyone concern but mine,” she said.
When the fellow reporter asked her what the response from her colleagues had been like since her return, though, the conversation took an odd turn.
“No, I haven’t been gone,” she said.

OK.

“You should follow the—I haven’t been gone. I’ve been working.”
When asked whether she meant that she’d been working from home, she turned feisty.
“No, I’ve been here. I’ve been voting,” she said. “Please. You either know or don’t know.”
After deflecting one final question about those, like Rep. Ro Khanna, who’ve called on her to resign, she was wheeled away.

I wouldn't want her making me a sammich.

Isn’t this the same congressional person who had Chinese foreign nationals on her payroll?

 

[RoseRed]

Yes. For 20 years.

 

[Grumpy]

And what about those muslim IT folks that worked for Wasserman Schultz? That faded from the radar..

It was said the democrats needed her back to vote for judges in her committee. It was deadlocked without her.

Her driver .

But if you check it out you will see that she did vote for the nominees as the rules allowed for a remote vote.

Why is it that DemonicRats have absolutely no grace at all?

Oh, that's right! Because they have no souls.

The power of a staff........

I have had a staff my entire life and rarely are it's remarks insightful enough to be entered into permanent record.

In reality the insider trading bitch needs to drop dead. Right now she's fun to laugh at.
