"Curiously, the media maintains that Feinstein was declining mentally for years but neither reporters nor members noted it before her recent election."

Our wonderful media

Boxer too was well loved for his work once.

Nonapod said...

She had also angered some progressives during the recent confirmation hearting for justice Amy Coney Barrett, for the way she seen to be too deferential and excessively friendly with Republicans, who were pushing through Donald Trump’s nominee in controversial circumstances.

Well, there's that.

It's also curious that most of the media seemed pretty disinterested with the fact that she has a Chinese spy in her employ for years. But whatever...

What they won't do, who they won't sacrifice, in service to their power and ability to enrich themselves.

It's about keeping women voters interested, not about the politicians, with dems and the media.

The republicans must always be unloveable though, so everybody has to toe the line.

Curiously, the media maintains that Biden was declining mentally for years but neither reporters nor members noted it before his recent election.

FIFY

Ghost Town(1028) on the Fang Fang affair, Ming Wa Men and Ho Lee Park have been arrested.

MadTownGuy said...

Now do Pelosi.

Joe Smith said...

As good as an excuse as any for not knowing she had a Chinese spy on her payroll for many years.

When she first became senator she was a liberal, but a relatively middle-of-the-road liberal.

Over the years she has gone further and further left, and her mental decline has let her party use her as a puppet.

But in California, once you're a democrat senator it is a lifetime position.

Despite the mountain of taxes I pay, I have no representation.

Is every leftist notion a projection? Pro-Choice, selective, opportunistic, relatistic ("ethics"). Lose your quasi-religion. Discover principles.

Mike Sylwester said...

Google and YouTube have been removing from the Internet all allegations that Dianne Feinstein is declining mentally.

Michael K said...

Lots of dementia cases among the Democrats. Swalwell for one.

The Vault Dweller said...

Over the past few years, I feel like Johnathan Turley has been growing more and more disillusioned with the media.

YoungHegelian said...

And then, there was that sad & tragic episode with Feinstein and her youngest grandson.

Now, I've really dated myself...

BUMBLE BEE said...

What? Chinese spies in the inner circle are quite common in today's democrat inner circle. Get with the program, comrade.

Earnest Prole said...

Feinstein is a moderate by the standards of the Democratic Party, particularly in California; her replacement will almost certainly be well to her left.

Rosalyn C. said...

See how clownish Feinstein looks because of the disconnect between her hair color and the rest of her face? Her hair coloring is so obviously fake it suggests her lacking any sense of reality.

Comity used to be a well regarded thing in the U.S. Senate. Not so much any more, unless you are a Republican selling out to a Democrat-favored compromise.

Ralph L said...

She could be the Harvey Weinstein trigger for cleaning out the old guard Dems--Pelosi, Hoyer, and Biden to come.

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

reaching across the aisle =

You cannot do it - unless you bow to the left.

Marcus Bressler said...

Why is Chuck still here?

Michael K said...

Turley has really become a big fucking idiot in the Trump era.

Posted by the biggest fucking idiot at this blog.

Hey Skipper said...

“Chuck: And in the primary, Feinstein's age was arguably the biggest issue between the contenders. It was widely covered in the press. Here's an example; from NPR“

Wow, I didn’t know age is a synonym for dementia.

Joe Smith said...

"Turley has really become a big fucking idiot in the Trump era."

Turley has really had the scales fall from his eyes...

Fixed it.

Achilles said...

I would rather say that Trump has more revealed the traitors and idiots. Nobody has really changed all that much.

Howard said...

Kimberly Guilfoyle's ex husband it's going to select two United States senators. You guys are going to have a field day over that.

DavidUW said...

Just previewing how to make it sound for Biden removal process

Sebastian said...

And in February we get:

"Curiously, the media maintains that Biden was declining mentally for years but neither reporters nor members noted it before his recent election."

Gunner said...

California would vote for Jeffrey Dahmer if he ran as a Democrat against a Republican. Why protect this old lady so long? It's not like generic White Republican will win there.

robother said...

I'm concerned, that our resident Concern Troll has let his mask of LifeLong Republican-hood slip lately. Harmless for those of us who never took it seriously, but the mask plays such an important psychological role to those on the left, in this year of our Plague 2020. Perhaps an online intervention, chaired by Drago, or is it too late? Is Chuck dissolving before our very eyes like some Oz Witch?

Readering said...

In 18 I voted for the GOP candidate and can't even remember his name, but seemed to me she was past it. Sad because she was my first CA vote in 92 when she first ran.

Assistant Village Idiot said...

I think we will be using the line "You knew about this, but you lied" to a lot of people over the next few years.

Not that it will matter to their supporters.

Temujin said...

No one seemed to mind much when it became clear that this senior Senator had a Chinese spy as her driver and close staff member for 20 years.

Now they've noticed something is amiss.

There's a lot amiss all over this country. She's a crumb on a platter full.

Gunner said...

She probably had dirt on somebody. Now that she's forgotten what it is, it's safe to dump her.

NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...

One wonders if this was a practice run or not?

Chick said...

Aaah, the classic should I have 'a priori' or should I have 'post ante', argument. They win either way. Spare me the tortured angst.

The Godfather said...

When Strom Thurmond died, the lawyers in my old firm's legislative practice wished that the death had been kept a secret. Thurmond had an excellent staff that made the decisions about how he would vote in 90% of cases -- and knew how he'd vote in the other 10%. If they'd just kept the death quiet, our lawyers could have kept working with that staff -- maybe even up to today!

That makes the Feinstein situation a lot easier to understand.

i predict, that after next January;we won't be hearing much, from our one trick pony

daskol said...

I don't know about that, but you can guarantee that if he voted, Dahmer voted D in 2020. You might see a felon GOP vote slip in, or maybe the odd dead voter for the GOP, but not a dead felon.

that pic if DiFi looks like a portrait by William Merritt Chase

...is she that old?

Ingachuck'stoothlessARM said...

...and if she were to be implicated in a ChiCom scandal

will her dementia work in her favor?

Now do Pelosi.

THIS^^^

She sounds more and more unhinged everytime she shows up on TV and lies to the American people.

Have you seen how much California is beginning to look like Venezuela?? Maybe that's why people are pointing, laughing and getting the hell out of there before it falls into the sea.

DEEBEE said...

Not surprising, because even with the decline she was smarter than the MSM

Rusty said...

The face that launched a thousand quips.

Jack Klompus said...

"Ming Wa Men and Ho Lee Park have been arrested."

Unfortunately Wi To Lo and Ho Lee Fuk managed to escape under cover of night.

ndspinelli said...

Turley, Greenwald and Taibbi are 3 of the most intellectually honest people out there. I pay to read Greenwald and Taibbi on substack.

Bob Smith said...

Setting the stage for removing Biden. “See, we’re not afraid to take scalps on our side of the aisle “

Pj said...

not that she ever would consider this, but imagine if she, after the blowback she's gotten from her supposed "friends and colleagues", declares she's going to caucus with Republicans?
Talk about an explosion!!
