We've Learned More About Dianne Feinstein's Health And It's Not Good
[NYT via Townhall] Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is the one Democratic Senator that’s in the crosshairs of the progressive wing of her party. She’s pushing 90, her mental facilities have lost more than a step, and her absence over a case of shingles has clogged numerous Biden judicial nominees.
who are so radical and/or incompetent they can't get a Republican vote
The age and mental competency have been weaponized by the far left on the Hill to take her out or at least place enough pressure on this longtime Senate fixture to break and turn in her papers. The California liberal already said she wouldn’t be taking any new roles in the upper chamber, specifically Senate Pro Tempore, which she’s entitled to, and declined to run again. This last term is it for her; she’s out of public life by 2025.

Yet, we’ve learned more about her condition, and it’s not good. Reportedly, she suffered more health complications than initially reported, and many in her immediate circle are shocked she’s even working in the Senate in her current state. I believe the term "frightened" was used in The New York Times article (via NYT):

#1 Shingles, flu, encephalitis...let's not get bogged down in ambiguous medical jargon. She votes the party line and has abundant aides to tell her just what that is. How many eyes does she need anyway?

#2 Mental competency is no longer a Test for LSD elected office or appointed positions.

Off the top of our collective heads we could name 2 or 3 such examples, besides Biden or Fetterman.

Q: Will the WH demand the Flags be flown at 1/2 Mast when she departs?

#3 Q: Will the WH demand the Flags be flown at 1/2 Mast when she departs?

Only Chinese flags at their embassy in Washington and Chinese US based police stations.

#6 for when she shuffles off

To be immediately replaced by something worse.

#7 If the left had any brains they'd be pissed at the old-ones like Feinstein going up for reelection again and again to get rich and enjoy the power instead of allow the Democrat party to develop a bench of young folks. Damage is done, party is screwed for the next couple of decades.

#8 Remember her as mayor of San Fran and that Confederate flag kerfuffle when she had to relent displaying it.
