Four Democratic members of Congress, three of whom are senators, say Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.), who is 88 years old, is too cognitively impaired to serve out her term, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday.
One who has known the senator for 15 years had to reintroduce themself to Feinstein multiple times during a recent policy meeting. Her memory fails, and she has difficulty distinguishing longtime colleagues, the lawmakers said. During last month's Supreme Court confirmation hearings, she often repeated herself. "It's bad, and it's getting worse," a Democratic senator revealed. One Democratic aide even shared a joke: Californians have "a great junior senator in Alex Padilla and an experienced staff in Feinstein's office."
What they really mean: "We don't find her Progressive enough, but she's too popular to have a successful primary challenger, so we wrote this story to start dragging her down..."
I'm sure her mental faculties are probably slowing down, however, that is not the reason they wrote this story. Look at who Democrats elected President (also well past his prime) and tell me why they're only going after Senator Feinstein.
This isn't helpful: Some lawmakers defended Feinstein's mental acuity, including 82-year-old House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), who called the lawmakers' claims "ridiculous," and Sen. Tim Kaine (D., Va.), who said Feinstein mailed him a handwritten letter after he was stuck for more than 24 hours in traffic on I-95.
Feinstein has not held a town hall meeting in her state since the beginning of her current term. If she serves until 2024 and Democrats maintain a Senate majority, she could become the upper chamber's president pro tempore, making her third in line for the Oval Office behind Pelosi and Vice President Kamala Harris.
I'd say the same thing about Pelosi. Anyone who thinks Nanny isn't gone gone gone is missing something. And it's apparent that the VP never had a full deck. I wonder how on earth she ever functioned as a prosecutor, she appears to have nothing at all going on upstairs.
The top of our national batting order is looking way too much like the USSR in the days of Unca Yuri Andropdead. Brezhnev, Chernenko...a series of old lifer bureaucrats whose minds, never particularly acute, had gone the way of all flesh. Our republic is in great danger.

She was also compromised, but that didnt seem to matter.
