Are you talking about Feinstein?? She's a real peach....

Well it's different for Feinstein because she's a powerful, well connected politician/dignitary in CA. So SEC rules and laws like that don't apply to her.

They don't.

Huh.

Who's gonna enforce it? Ernest H. Pootywinkle Esq of East Nowhereville?

Yeah go ahead and try and take that on. And watch how quickly he so tragically ends up in a fatal car crash. Or finds himself in bankruptcy court.

That's the one, who seems to win re-election in California over and over again when she's literally accomplished nothing. Has Feinstein ever gathered a successful Congressional coalition to pass legislation that has actually helped her constituents?

Basically a rotten lefty mouth piece that panders to the pander-able. Nothing more. She's spent nearly three decades in office raping California taxpayers for BILLIONS of dollars.

Lunacy. Lunacy and stupidity.

Sure, she's pretty much untouchable.

But who gives her that immunity? The people you see all around you in California. They gave her a blank check, and immunity from prosecution.

So the other option on the ballow was DeLeon. I'm assuming that's who you voted for?

She will be 91 at the end of her current term.

When I'm at dinner, and someone serves two choices that are unpalatable, I usually just skip dinner.

30 years in congress, and nothing to show for it except corruption and ineffective leadership.

By all means, rejoice in our punishment by the petulant Orange Haired little man with the tiny hands!

The federal government pays $297 Billion to California yearly.

Not to mention the Federal Government literally owns half of California, a lot of that land being snow packs, and watersheds that California depends on to survive.
