Hello Aaron,
>I learned a new word a few months ago thanks to Joe Biden: Gaffe! And it's
> hilarious to me.
When Joe makes a gaffe, it usually is. But that's Joe.
Truly nice guy. Always poking fun at himself. Sometimes
even on purpose.
>Now for some discussion about Diane Feinstein's gaffe: She says she "wants

> the people decide?"
When Diane makes a gaffe, it never is. But that's Diane. Rather
than blame herself, she always blames somebody else. In this case,
the LA Times. You see, the LA Times miunderstood what she had said -
"Nine months left to go, the people should judge. We are a republic,
we are based on the will of the people - the people should judge.
That was my view and it still is my view."
~ US Senator Diane Feinstein, 1/28/2020
How could anybody have misunderstood what she had said?
Here is more of what she had to say -
"What changed my opinion as this went on ... impeachment isn't
about one offense. It's really abbout the character and ability
and physical and mental fitness of the individual to serve the
people, not themselves."
~ US Senator Diane Feinstein, 1/28/2020
And even then, just to make sure nobody could have misunderstood,
she had one final comment to add -
"We're not finished." ~US Senator Diane Feinstein, 1/28/2020
A vote to acquit. Certainly a very real possibility.
Based on what she had told the LA Times, in plain simple English.
>She doesn't really want the people to decide.
There is nothing in her above comments that suggests otherwise.
After coming under heavy criticism by members of her own party
to come to her senses, she immediately took to Twitter -
"The LA Times misunderstood what I said today. Before the trial,
I said I'd keep an open mind. Now that both sides made their cases,
it's clear the president's actions were wrong. He withheld vital
foreign assistance for personal political gain. That can't be
allowed to stand." ~US Senator Diane Feinstein, 1/28/2020
California Proud!
