Don't let Democrats rewrite Dianne Feinstein's infuriating final chapter

"On Sept. 29, Dianne Feinstein, 90, died of natural causes. She had cast a vote in the Senate less than a day prior."

Banger first two sentences. As an observer not from the US, this feels like Emperors New Clothes to me. But instead of a naked emperor, you have paraded a corpse through the senate and acted as if she was a fighter like Xena, Warrior Princess or something.

As a Californian, I’ll say its been feeling damn near “Weekend and Bernie’s” for months now.

I dunno who was actually casting her votes, but I doubt they were aligned with what the people of my state would have wanted.
Natural causes my ass. Cunt had dementia and they kept her around for power ever one of her votes for the last 3 years should be invalidated.
- Dementia would still be considered natural causes wouldn't it?
- Something awful must have happened to you as a child to refer to an old lady you’ve never met that way. IDGAF about politics. Have some respect for your damned self.
- Reagan “governed” with Alzheimer’s?
- for power ever one of her votes for the last 3 years should be invalidated.
  
  I think you missed one letter and a dot there.
  
  Are we at stage "invalidating votes of senile old coots" yet? Have you SEEN how many crusty bastards are in there? I'd say the Dems would LOVE this as the demographic helps them immensely.
Weekend at Bernie’s. The film, not Sanders.
- I honestly think there are now a few of those "Weekend at Bernie's" scenarios playing out in congress. McConnell comes to mind as the most obvious, he has already had a couple of public examples of him losing his cognitive abilities, but everyone pretends not to notice and they keep tripping over themselves trying to cover for him, similar to how they did with Feinstein.

Lest we forget she was a consummate centrist.

We should remember her for her actions through her career as a politician. Where she stood on equality, lgbtq+ rights, the death penalty, government surveillance... How she used her position in the Senate to enrich herself through means not allowed by commoners.

There are a lot of shit bags in government. And one less doesn't change that. But let's not paint her as a champion of anything but herself just because she's dead.

This sounds like some Ruth Bader Ginsberg shit.

You can't criticize someone now that they're dead despite wanting to cling to power over pride and legacy!

Yes, yes we can. And anyone who enabled that shit should take a good hard look into themselves and get the fuck out of politics.

Holy shit. What a takedown. With receipts.

We have age minimums because the mind has not finished developing and we should also have age maximums based on the average age cognitive decline sets in.

Until we are able to properly identify outliers it's probably best to stick with the subset of the population with the highest probability of meeting the minimum qualifications for the position.

Final? She was always a shithead.

On this day in 2023 Democrats celebrated by shitting all over the corpse of a colleague. I did not like Feinstein at all but the way she was treated during her decline was fucking deplorable.

She should have resigned long ago, and ejected if she had refused.
- That is assuming that she had any agency left. I don't think she did.
She was treated that way because her decline shouldn't have been happening while she was a U.S. fucking senator. We shouldn't have people who can't even pass the cognitive test Trump passed making our laws.

Dems agree that it was stupid??

I'm sure all of opinions mean as much to this thread as they do to a dead body.

My only reaction is something along the lines of finally being able to breathe a breath of slightly fresher air. She has been higher up on my list of Senators to remove than my own state's crooks.

I might agree with the sentiment, but Hearst can eat a bag.
