Sen. Dianne Feinstein, an 'icon for women in politics,' dies at 90, source confirms

Not to celebrate her death, but fucking finally. The woman was literally older than the Golden Gate Bridge and had no business being in government at her age. She should've retired with some dignity decades ago.

Sorry, to be callous, but good riddance. You should hear what Jello Biafra has to say about the time Feinstein was Mayor of San Francisco:

Jello Biafra: Quentin Kopp was actually very jovial, friendly, kind of a character. He and Feinstein had been on the Board Of Supervisors, but when George Moscone and Harvey Milk were assassinated Feinstein was appointed as Acting Mayor. She ran the city with an iron fist, and the police were completely out of control, which she seemed to get off on. I have never been very fond of her, and any grief I can cause that creature, I’m happy to oblige. But that wasn’t why I ran for Mayor. It was more like: wouldn’t this be a great prank?

Jello Biafra: I had some pretty interesting proposals. Making businessmen wear clown suits was the one the media seized on, but there was a lot more to it than they realised. It was my response to Frankenfeinstein [Feinstein] saying she was going to “clean up” Market Street, by which she meant throwing the homeless out of all the vacant buildings.

In another occasion, he called her the most evil person he'd ever met.

I don’t understand why not retire. She held on to that seat till the bitter end, for what?

She could have had time with her family and we could have had a seamless replacement. Instead, she got to die at work (basically) and there is a hole in representation right as the government is about to shut down.

I wonder how this will impact the gov shutdown results

Hey can we stop normalizing dying in office? This shouldn't be normal.

Women need better icons.

Yeah that was like 30 years overdue. She's not an "icon for women in politics", she's an obstructionist sack of shit whose stubbornness left her own constituents with nothing to hope for other than her death.

GTFO before you become useless.

Good riddance.

Truly an icon. And not only for women, but for everyone that overstays their welcome.

Somehow still running for re-election.

Feinstein dies in office, Carter enters month 9 of hospice surrounded by family. I know which way I would want.

I feel bad that she spent her final few years Weekend At Bernie's-ing for her staff instead of getting to retire + relax a bit.

Killed what little legacy she had for nothing.

Finally retired, bitch.

She died? How could they tell?

May all the 80+ year old senators and congress members take note at how many people are celebrating Feinstein's death today.

This just in: It appears that while Laying in State, the deceased senator was seen rising from her coffin and returning to her seat. Sources in her office say this is a sign she has successfully completed her ritual to transform herself into a Lich.

Way to die on n office. Straight up Ruth Bader Ginsburg-ed that shit.

SENATOR?!?! Woman is 90 and is a Senator?! Jesus Christ can we stop voting these dinos

Does this mean we could finally have a representative under the age of 1000? No we’re just going to elect another dinosaur that thinks homes still cost a nickel? … okay

I thought it would never happen. I'm excited to see the race for her seat.

Turtle next please.

So has she finally retired from Congress?

Because with how adamant she was at staying in her seat despite being unable to do the job, I would not be surprised if they tried to go full Weekend at Bernie's here.

Forced Retirement

she voluntarily spent time with the likes of Ron Johnson and Ted Cruz rather than her grandchildren, for decades..... So question is, how terrible are her grandchildren?

The Lich is dead.

Everyone is like, she should’ve retired… But WHY!? People kept voting her in, she has all this power, all this money/control, top of the line health care, etc., etc. Who would ever leave that!? Unless you’re not a psychopath narcissist after knowing how freaking different the “1%” live?

Same thing with RBG.

Only thing that will change are the rules. And good luck with that…

Legend at gatekeeping. Good riddance loser.

I kind of wish it was at least normative to groom your successor and bow out if you're a ground-breaking leader as you advance in age

I especially wish that was the sort of thing had been the case with (for example) RBG because let's face it, it really hurt us for her seat to go to ACB

So... how is the Gop weaponizing this?

Sad for her family but it was in the best interest of the Country.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Reminds me of someone else:
