Dianne Feinstein is in ‘frightening’ condition — and Nancy Pelosi may be propping her up in the Senate

Sen. Dianne Feinstein suffered additional health complications from her months-long battle with shingles that kept her away from Capitol Hill, raising fresh questions about her ability to continue serving in Congress.
The New York Times reported Thursday that Feinstein, 89, suffered impaired vision and balance as a result of the illness, as well as facial paralysis known as Ramsay Hunt syndrome. The shingles also reportedly brought on a rare case of encephalitis, which causes the brain to swell and can affect language skills, sleep and mood.
The Times quoted one source close to the senator as calling her current condition “frightening.” The six-term Feinstein (D-Calif.) uses a wheelchair to get around the Capitol and has given confused answers to questions about her absence.
Feinstein announced earlier this year that she would not seek re-election in 2024, but has adamantly refused to consider stepping down, leading some close to her to reportedly joke that she will consider doing so once she’s dead.

Politico is reporting that a member of the Pelosi family is helping prop up Feinstein because doing so would help Adam Schiff's chances of replacing her over Barbara Lee.

shingles?
They spelled stroke wrong.

Brandon is in a frightening condition as well.
-
We get a better view of what the utopian government looks like, and its truly frightening, as are its stooges.

Feinswine will not make it to the point where they don't have to appoint someone.
I'd love to deny Schiffty his Senate seat.

Her eye folding down so that you can see red is what I find alarming. For the love of God, a family member needs to take her aside and tell her to step down. The stress can't be doing her any good. Nancy is despicable if she is indeed propping her up.

Or in hospice.
