Mick1ParticipantLaphonza Butler has been selected by Gov. Newsom as California’s new Senator, taking Dianne Feinstein’s place.
It’s a perfect selection in two ways. First, it doesn’t get any more woke than a Black, lesbian, non-resident of California with no elective office experience. She’s lived nine years of her life in CA, a Mississippi native and current resident of Maryland. She’s not a lawyer, has never served as part of an elective body, has never proposed legislation or voted on same. So…California Senator. Of course. At least she has zero chance of being elected in the next election.
And secondly, if this doesn’t close the door on Newsom’s Presidential bid, nothing will.

LegendKeymasterBy the way, is there a contest among the political parties to appoint the least qualified, but most controversial people to high office? I think it’s a play on the old adage that no publicity is bad publicity. Look at the De Santis situation: He’s an accomplished executive in FL with a bland personality and he’s practically dead in the water, whereas Trump is trump and gets more unearned publicity than any person in history, perhaps?
