Newsom pressured to tap black woman to replace deteriorating Feinstein; Oprah reportedly on short list
May 25, 2023 | Chris Donaldson

California Governor Gavin Newsom may have boxed himself in if ailing Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein retires after he vowed to appoint a woman of color if the seat opened up, and in the current racially charged environment, he will be under intense pressure to deliver or face backlash from black residents who are already perturbed over his waffling on reparations payments.

With disgraced former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (R-Calif.) being the preferred choice of Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi, who still wields enormous clout, Newsom could look to an unconventional choice with practically unrivaled star power who would appease black voters and stifle critics, entertainment mogul Oprah Winfrey.

The 89-year-old Feinstein finally returned to the Senate two weeks ago as demands from members of her own party for her to hang it up were growing in volume, including from opinion leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). But she was clearly not in good shape, reportedly not even realizing that she had been gone and leading to calls of elder abuse, and lawmakers like Rep. Ro Khanna (R-Calif.) have continued to insist that she call it a career a month shy of her 90th birthday.

We already have enough senators shouting, "You get a car! You get a smartphone! You get free college!"

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
Being Cali, whoever's appointed will be a woke nutcase, so that's a universal constant. But they will also have zero seniority and low rank so it's relatively inconsequential.

Denying Full of Schiff the seat will be reward enough.
The Republic is lost.

1. Schifftyroo vs. The Race-Baiters ... :lotsosmileys: it's Blue-on-Blue! :pop41:

2. Does Oprah live within half a continent of California, let alone know much about matters outside of Hollyweird?
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

She has quite a few houses mansions. I have no idea where she spends most of her time, though.

Oprah's spokeswoman threw cold water on the idea that Winfrey could make a foray into politics, saying she “is not considering the seat should it become vacant.”

Is it just me? Or is "Newsom pressured to tap black woman" a poor choice of words?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
