Not so fast. Shifty Schiff is vying for this senate seat and Kamala Harris knows that from the beginning the Dems were trying to take her out. Have you ever wondered after Biden immediately assigned Kamala Harris to be the 'border czar', she never went down to the border? I believe it was an ambush waiting to happen. She was apparently tipped off and stayed close to home. Kamala Harris has always been a place holder for 'someone' else. I believe it was at first for Nancy Pelosi, but times have past and now it may be governor Newsom. But, there are problems with this. There is an obvious 'quid pro quo' that has all the appearances of besmirching the constitution and undermining the rule of law.
Feinstein's death appears to be unexpected and premature. I believe the dems wanted to retire her after they had secured an agreement with Kamala Harris to take Feinstein's Senate seat. This way governor Newsom could appoint Harris to take the senate seat. Right now, because of the sudden death of Feinstein none of this appears to be consolidated. Even if Kamala Harris was to take this position, and in turn, governor Newsom is appointed to the VP spot, it has an appearance of 'quid pro quo'. Speaker McCarthy is also the key to whether the House approves of it.
My dad is 93 years old. If he died tomorrow, which I pray doesn't happen, I'd consider it premature. Albeit, you raise a good point, the phrase I used wasn't so much related to Feinstein's age, but their timeline to get Newsom in the VP spot.
My dad died at 90 in 2012 and my mom at 93 in 2016. The more time that goes by, it seem the more I miss them.
Many years before they died, I knew, and understood that one day they would die. While with them I would like close my eyes, move ahead in time and imagine they were no longer alive, and think of how great it would be to see them again, and then I would open my eyes and there they would be. I know it sounds crazy, but I used to walk up to their door and think to myself how wonderful it would be if I could open this door and see my parents again. Then I would open the door and there they would be. I think this gave me a special appreciation for the time I had with them both. I tried to live with the idea that when they are dead, I will have no regrets, nothing that I wished I would have done while I had the time, but did not do.
Inevitably there will always be some things no matter how hard you try. But no really important things.
I will tell you one thing that I did that was very smart. About 15-20 years before either of them died, I sat down with a video camera and had my brother interview them about their lives from the first memories, then growing up in our small town, then meeting, getting married, and the early day together. it's about an hour long or more despite them both being very quite people. I think they understood it was important too.
I still have this video, and it is beyond wonderful to hear them laugh, and tell their story. And for future generations who never had a chance to meet these great people, it will be priceless.
Before it's too late, if you have not gotten you dad's life story on video, you should do that.
That's a wonderful story. I especially liked when you said you "use to walk up to their door and think to myself how wonderful it would be if I could open this door and see my parents again. Then I would open the door and there they would be."
That's a great way of keeping clarity on the importance of your relationship. I on the other hand, have to do that from afar, since dad lives in Florida. The video thing..... I had a child hood friend that specialized in doing that for others. He showed me some of his videos..... I knew his mom well growing up and he wanted to show me her last video when she had cancer. After seeing another video of a terminal cancer patient... and his reflections of life and what he wished would have been better, especially in knowing his daughters, I couldn't bear watching anymore. I had a picture in my mind of my friends wonderful mom and I didn't want to really see her afflicted with cancer.
My wife has pictures of her mom and dad, both deceased, in several rooms of the house. She has more occasions of expressing her sad feelings about missing her parents than I, especially her mom. Despite my mom died several years back, I have yet to display any pictures in any of the rooms. They are in a scrap book. Looking at them rekindles how much I miss her. And the 'should have', 'would have', 'could have' scenario seems to creep in. She was a wonderful person. Yet with me, my Lord knows what's best for me. He consistently tells me to be thankful for the present and plan for tomorrow. Don't think about next week, but today. Mom is gone. And avoid obsessions of living in the past. Never to look back, but forward..... To always look forward and prepare for my own ascension when that time comes. In the mean time, each morning I thank Him for another day.
That's a good question. Of course I don't really know the answer..... Perhaps, this happened all unexpectedly and publicized before those arrangements could be made. Again, I don't know. It just seems this was a surprise and not expected.
As governor he has the authority to fill the vacated senate seat. I just don't see Kamala Harris being that individual. The "inside" information that revealed this scheme involving Harris being "forced" to resign is IMHO ripe with purposeful misdirection. It's easy to lay a 'turd' in a trafficked area and watch everyone passing by with their eyes looking down so as not to step in it. Meanwhile, up above there's something outrageous happening and all those turd-watchers below are missing it.

Feinstein's death appears to be unexpected and premature. How can someone dying at 90 yrs old be premature. Just asking.

Good analysis, forgot about that jerk schiff
If this was the case then why not just lie and hold off on announcing her death like they’ve probably done with Biden?
That's a good question. Of course I don't really know the answer..... Perhaps, this happened all unexpectedly and publicized before those arrangements could be made. Again, I don't know. It just seems this was a surprise and not expected.
Newsome promised to appoint a black female to the position.
As governor he has the authority to fill the vacated senate seat. I just don't see Kamala Harris being that individual.
