Uh... Kupo?

So she turned from president of a union to advising Uber on how to gently caress workers to working for AirBNB-- a company that is at the core of the current housing crisis?

That's an eventful 7 years!

Nothing says soulless bastard quite like making a seamless transition from SEIU to Uber+AirBNB. :patriot:

Why did Newsom promise to appoint a black woman to the seat? It's not like Biden's situation in the 2020 national primary where he directly owed his win to Clyburn and black voters in SC.

It just seems like an unnecessary constraint.

Considering how quickly he appointed someone, maybe he had her in mind all along? Maybe he owed her a huge political favor?

The appointee doesn't hugely matter and is mostly optics. Butler's main job is to be a caretaker senator, vote the party line, and then not run in either the special election or the next full election. Appointed senator that has never won an election isn't a role where you are sponsoring new sweeping legislation

The woman Gavbot appointed? Has lived in Maryland since 2021. Newsom claims she still owns property in California, and I'm sure she will by the end of this week.

She probably started shopping for a home base in Maryland just outside of DC as soon as Gavin promised her the seat. Feinstein apparently survived long enough that Feinstein wanted back into the capitol building, defying predictions she'd pass away in 2022

When did Gavin announce the black female thing? Probably two days before the ink dried on that Maryland estate outside of DC.

Newsom announced he would appoint a black woman to replace Feinstein if she were to die back in January 2021, she seems to have moved from LA to Maryland sometime around September 2021 when she was named president of Emily's list

Hadlock

Yeah that tracks

I'm sure she'll be closing on a studio condo in LA to meet some bare minimum residency requirement with the media

From what the news has said so far, it sounds like she leased out her former LA home, didn't sell it, and is going to move back in.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

what exactly does gavin owe her for? for helping with kamala's campaign? for helping uber and airbnb?

she was part of his consulting firm. i dont think it's so much about what newsom owes her as much as it's her just being a pliable piece in his soulless orbit.

Also Emily's List is a decently important power broker in the Democratic party, so it's doing favors for people who might be important for a 2028 presidential run

I wish I took a screenshot of this but I was looking for an apartment today and I found an ad on craigslist advertising free rent in exchange for sex. All you need to be a little Epstein is the ability to grant something that other people desperately need in exchange for whatever you want, no matter how personal, or off limits.

There were lots of people lined up to pay respects to Dianne Feinstein. The line circled most of the way around City Hall. Kind of surprising given that she has been a walking corpse for the past few years.

The kind of Indian more likely to migrate to the US, and especially the kind of Indian American likely to be of higher SES and thus more active in politics are more likely to be higher-caste basically.

It's kinda bleakly funny because Indian-Americans are otherwise pretty liberal as a bloc. I know personally know someone who works in Tech DEI, uses "BIPOC", "LATINX", big on land acknowledgements, etc. who was cheering this bill not being signed today. Prevented "Western cultural norms" from being imposed, you see.
