3 plus

Cannot discount the murdering soullessness of being the head of an organization that pursues the death of infants. The idea that a person who chooses a lifestyle that is void of procreation along with the desire to end life of innocent children including that of her fellow race. This is what evil looks like.

No qualifications other than the democrat ones.

Are our resident democrats and moderates embarrassed by the morons they put in office on their side?

Yet, she and her "mate" have a daughter. Incongruent to say the least.

Wonder how this reaction would’ve gone ….


CALIFORNIA: “[Sitting politician] has just died. Governor, you’ll need to make an interim selection.”

NEWSOM: “Excellent. I’ll go with someone I believe should be gifted with the seat. He heads an anti-abortion organization; worked on Trump’s campaign; and is committed to getting white men elected.

CALIFORNIA: “Where is he from?”

NEWSOM: “He lives in Oklahoma. We’ll just fly him in.”

When do Democrats care if it's legal?

From Wikipedia …. Never held a job. Sounds like a female version of the gay Kenyan.

quote:

Butler began her career as a union organizer for nurses in Baltimore and Milwaukee, janitors in Philadelphia, and hospital workers in New Haven, Connecticut. In 2009, she moved to California, organizing in-home caregivers and nurses, and served as president of SEIU United Long Term Care Workers, SEIU Local 2015.[4][5][6]

Butler was elected president of the California SEIU State Council in 2013. She undertook efforts to boost California's minimum wage and raise income taxes on the wealthiest Californians.[4] As president of SEIU Local 2015, Butler endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary.[7]

In 2018, California Governor Jerry Brown appointed Butler to a 12-year term as a regent of the University of California.[6] She resigned from her role as regent in 2021.[8]

Butler joined SCRB Strategies as a partner in 2018. At SCRB, she played a central role in Kamala Harris's 2020 presidential campaign. Butler also advised Uber in its dealings with organized labor while at SCRB.[9] She was known as a political ally of Harris since her first run for California Attorney General in 2010, when she helped Harris negotiate a shared SEIU endorsement in the race.[4][10]

Butler left SCRB in 2020 to join Airbnb as director of public policy and campaigns in North America.[11][5]

I'm surprised he didn't give the seat to Zelensky.

Jackson State?



She’s even more unqualified than I thought.


JSU is a “premiere HBCU” like Vanderbilt is an “SEC power” in football.

NPR reported this as "keeping a promise" to appoint a black female.

If she's qualified and the Dem Governor's choice, more power to him and her.

That said, the notion that the position had to go to a specific gender and ethnicity is blatant sexism and racism.

To whom was this promise made and why?

I’m just wondering why he couldn’t find a black female within the most populous goddamn state in the country to fill this seat.

Bitch is a resident of Maryland. They couldn’t find one in Cali without parachuting this one in from the east coast?

Am I missing something?

She is a lesbian the supports abortion? Technically a thing she would never be a part of?

Unless of course she gets in vitro just to abort it later?
