The reality is, the next Senator will be someone way more to the left than Feinstein.

I don’t think it could be Markle anyway, because she is a foreign monarch. Is she even still a U.S. citizen. He’s going to pick a Democrat anyway.

Tricky? Newsom just needs to go to the nearest hospital and pick up the latest lobotomized patient or he can just choose Shiff for brains.

He’ll make the appointment inside of two weeks. Dems can’t do w/o a majority for more than that.

Still, Newsom reiterated this month that he plans to appoint a Black woman. “We hope we never have to make this decision, but I abide by what I’ve said very publicly on a consistent basis,” he said during a Sept. 10 interview on “Meet the Press.”

In other news, today Governor Gavin Newsom announced that going forward he/she/it now identifies as a black woman.
