    By who? The old RINO piece of globalist trash gets mercilesly booed on stage and has "RETIRE NOW" yelled at him when he goes to speak.
    It has been surmised, that perhaps, my lord had become like a wild animal that had been kept too long. Perhaps, but whatever... freedom... so long an unremembered dream, was his.
    The children of Doom...Doom's children. They told my lord the way to the mountain of power. They told him to throw down his sword and return to the earth...HA!! time enough for the earth in the grave.

    We also need to get rid of Dianne Feinstein. The old hag doesn't even have her own power of attorney, he daughter does. So she's incapable of making her own decisions, but she still can make decision for us. She doesn't even know what's going on most of the time, hence why a handler told her "Just say aye".

    I am glad that Republicans are finally turning on Moscow Mitch.

    McConnel did greater damage to democracy in USA than Trump did. Without McConnel turning the senate Republicans to a mostly monolithic entity that would downvote everything the Democrats were suggesting from 2014 to 2023. Furthermore the federal courts would be much more balanced and stacked with moderate Republicans. Last but not least: Trump would probably have lost his senate trial after Jan 6 and perhaps the one before, removed from office in 2019.
    Several figures are responsible for the madness that has overtaken the elected Republicans in the past 10-15 years but Moscow Mitch is among the top 5 of those responsible. He has caused as much damage to his country as Cheney did.
    alhoon is not a member of the infamous Hoons: a (fictional) nazi-sympathizer KKK clan. Of course, no Hoon would openly admit affiliation to the uninitiated.
    "Angry Uncle Gordon" describes me well.

    Obviously she could - but I not sure she can really. Essentially the democrats are still willing to play by the old rules so if she steps and and is replaced by a democrat but w/o unanimous consent or the votes to overturn a filibuster the dems can fill her committee seat. So she retires and math on say Judicial appointments gets really ugly. Really she gotta stay till the 2024.

    Thanks for the response, but I still don't know why you want her to hang on till 2024. Not having your own power of attorney should be an immediate dismissal from any elected office.

    Your latter point is probably true but the US electorate in general across both parties seems pretty welded to gearatric leadership. Given that and given the weird world of arcane rules and the willingness or ability of either side to exploit those and not change them mostly . From a democratic party perspective I would preferred she resigned or not run some time ago in what is a safe seat. But as I said at the moment even though she is not all there she is on the Judiciary committee and going into 2024 the dems will want to run on Biden having put in place as many federal judges as he could and if she retires the republicans likely can slow that down by 'parliamentary' maneuvers even if she replaced by an appointed democrat as fast as the California system allows.

    Also more arcane from a party standpoint I have no ideal how things work play out with your money chest as a safe seat old politician across state and federal laws in California and retirement. I read a while back Patty Murry in WA sitting on easy fund raiseing and easy reelection is pretty free with handing out money to dems in tough races across the ticket down ballot in her state. For all I know a Republican geezer like Chuck Grassley acts the same in Iowa. Does Feinstein? Don't know and I don't care to research that in more detail - but she might.

    I guess I just care more about America than I do about what party is in power. I've already stated Mitch McTurtle should get the boot, he's twice now gotten the blue screen of death (nerd term for when Windows freezes and you have to do a hard reset) during a speech. If Feinstein was to get the boot, she'd just be replaced with another Democrat. Given that California is in its death throes, you should want a someone different with different ideas because obviously the party ideas aren't working. Businesses and people are pulling out of Democrat run cities by the droves.

    REI pulled out of Portland citing massive theft, which is like Cabela's pulling out of Montana or Idaho (two states in the top 5 for gun ownership and hunting). The leftist in those cities are delusional. During the Portland Antifa riots the mayor was pardoning them after they'd get arrested. A friend from high school I accidentally ran into, who now lives in Portland, has Trump derangement syndrome and stated lots of Portlanders feel the same way. He and his friends literally disagree with Trump on everything for no reason. When Trump stated that Covid mostly affects infants and older people, my former friend stated that's a lie on Twitter, "it's actually the opposite". A 2 minute search on the CDC website gave me 3 citations that proved Trump was correct.

    We don't have that problem in my Republican state, our REI is has no plans of leaving. I've been through Portland a lot and used to live in the Seattle area (had my car broken into twice in the span of less than a year), both have taken a swan dive off a cliff. Older residents hate what's happened to their cities and newer residents that don't have strong ties to those states are fleeing. Many I've talked to are headed to Boise, Idaho because it's the 3rd largest city in the US Pacific Northwest but doesn't have the crime rate that Portland and Seattle do. The chart below proves my point.



    People who visit San Francisco, which Feinstein used to be the mayor of, think it's an overpriced $hit hole, and they're being literal. $hit is everywhere and everything is more expensive than it should be, and that was 14 years ago when I visited it. I can't imagine how much worse it's gotten since. Antifa (ironically an authoritarian fascistic group) tried marching in my city, but were greeted with residents lining the streets with guns in their hands. They quickly high tailed it out of here. Joe "If you don't vote for me you ain't black" Biden has gone from 91% support from the black community to 61%. As of 7 years ago, Biden still supported his racist 1994 Crime Bill he introduced to the Senate. He only retracted his support when he was running for the presidency. Dems are extremely racist, thinking black people aren't intelligent enough to find the DMV to get a license or operate a cell phone, especially the brain washed college students.

    Dems are now attacking science; having different theories than the "mainstream" is now grounds for termination. A group of researchers a few year ago duped academic journals into publishing a rewrite of ‘Mein Kampf’ as feminist manifesto and were applauded for it. Along with a fake year long study of like 10,000 different incidents of male dogs raping female dogs in a small park in Portland that had no where near that much traffic. The publishers didn't care about logic, just published it because it towed the party group think. Later when the researchers were finally discovered to be making it all up, progressive higher ups refused their real paper that cited Dems will believe anything if it demonstrates "positive" progressive ideas. They were denied the ability to publish it in major journals because the humans in the studies weren't informed and made up information to trick people. Which was the whole point, if they told them the point of the fake studies, then they wouldn't get an unfiltered reaction.

    I agree they aren’t children’s books. I’m not the one classifying them as children books. If everyone agreed they aren’t children’s books, parents across the country wouldn’t be fighting to ban them from school libraries where children can read them because they wouldn’t be there to ban, there would be no news articles about the issue, and congressmen wouldn’t be asking school officials about it.

    Because "Leftist pedo gaslighting" and others assorted Russian propaganda/Qanon buzzwords are all the right has left to run on, that's why.

    Biden's high GDP, wage, and job growth have become so obvious, with even the poorest MAGAs having enough spare cash to send it to Trump every few weeks, that they had to move from "The economy has never been worse." back to "The evil Dems and Trans are out to get your children!" fairy tales of circa 2015.

    And of that doesn't work, I expect they'll start accusing Biden of being a secret Muslim born in Kenya.

    You did call them children's literature. Fox News called them children's books. There are plenty of young adult books out there that are not suitable for children. Many make it into school libraries. Many libraries have age appropriate sections. It's not really wise to talk as if they found these books at a kindergarten. It's also interesting that the Republican senator's concern is not to ban all sexually explicit books from school libraries. Just these that contain non-heterosexual encounters.

    You claimed they were falsely classified as children’s books. I’m calling them what they’re classified as. If anyone is falsely classifying them, it’d be the school officials who are fighting tooth and nail against parents to make sure these materials are in school libraries where they are available to children. If you’re still having trouble grasping the basics, consider reading the articles as many times as it takes. Exposing minors to porn, including written or spoken, is against federal law and is not protected speech. Obscene material is that which a reasonable person would find appeals to prurient interest, contains graphic descriptions, and lacks academic value. By describing the material as “disturbing” and “pornographic,” these school officials are admitting to it themselves.

    If all you’re trying to do is invalidate opposition to exposing children to pornographic material in school, I’ve no interest in trying to part you with your disgusting viewpoint. Parents are censored and even congressmen rebuked by school officials for daring to read this “disturbing, pornographic” material in a room of adults. Yet these same officials are adamant the material remain in schools. If you’re looking for the hypocrisy that’s causing the problem, there it is.
