This could have been a Saturday Night Live skit, in the early days.

Or "The Life of Brian," where Stan wants to be a woman so he can have babies.

Adam Schiff better hurry and declare himself a black, gay, woman if he wants any chance at getting that seat. We know, because he’s a Demokkkrat, he’s in favor of murdering babies. So that box is checked. The shit show keeps on rolling.

He's in favor of murder called war.

Same for the so called "pro life" republicans who also support wars.

Saagar makes a cute point. He's tired of "historic firsts". He says the most important Historic First is that Butler identifies as non-senile. Definitely unprecedented!

Thanks for the updates. Make it make sense why Newsom pick doesn’t even live in the state.

I'm pretty sure Newsom is dead, as well as Adam Schiff. This is a show to wake people up to the corruption.

Sorry, I changed my comment. I don't want to think about the takeover of Pacifica by the NSA--that was terrible.

What an outrage. No longer do we consider people with experience and expertise at the job, but merely their woke characteristics. This screams of political insider trading and conflict of interest that she was employed by a political consulting firm whose client was Gavin Newsome. And the beat goes on.

Wow, so Newsom appoints someone who can't possibly challenge Adam "Shifty" Schiff! Barbara Lee's not perfect but the obvious choice. Honestly, I was expecting Justin Trudeau in black-face and a dress. "Garbage People" is almost too polite a characterization,,,

Well, I'm on the opposite coast from California-- and I don't have a scorecard to identify the players.

So when I first saw the "Newsom Picks Butler" headlines, I naturally assumed that Newsolini had appointed his personal butler-- i.e., a valued member of his domestic staff-- to fill Feinstein's long-vacant, but until recently nominally occupied, office.

It's a scenario straight out of a classic 1930s Hollywood screwball comedy. But nowadays, it's certainly not beyond the realm of possibility. 🤔
