Senator Dianne Feinstein’s career was filled with firsts, including first woman mayor of San Francisco and one of two of the first women elected to the U.S. Senate from California.
Truly an icon. And not only for women, but for everyone that overstays their welcome.
May all the 80+ year old senators and congress members take note at how many people are celebrating Feinstein’s death today.
“idgaf, fuck you got mine”
the American mantra
SENATOR?!?! Woman is 90 and is a Senator?! Jesus Christ can we stop voting these dinos
She was incoherent while “working” just a few weeks ago if that. The video was online.
Maybe she could have been an icon. But instead her legacy is that of a greedy asshole who made shady stock deals and held her political power far too long - to the detriment of her constituents.
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.
Per congressional bylaws, the only one who can permanently destroy the phylactery is the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives, wielding the Mace of the Republic.
Thank you for teaching me something really cool today!
That’s a pretty shitty icon.
Fuck her, fuck RBG, fuck McConnell, fuck Biden, fuck Trump, fuck every single one of these dinosaurs who will be dead long before they see the result of their actions.
The Lich is dead.
Killed what little legacy she had for nothing.
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
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…
Way to die on n office. Straight up Ruth Bader Ginsburg-ed that shit.
She’s a dem in California. Her whole legacy isn’t going to be erased because she refused to retire.
She was a slightly left of center moderate dem, and for better or worse modern-day America is highly polarized politically. So she was out-of-step politically with both right and left. Her legacy was already in the dumpster. Going out like this just ensures that this is what she’ll be remembered for.
So… how is the Gop weaponizing this?
They will not approve committee assignments for her replacement leaving the judicial committee deadlocked and unable to confirm judges.
Who put someone that age on committees anyway?
Someone who wanted exactly this to happen.
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 literally came back to this thread to post Jello’s take!
Turtle next please.
Then we’ll get conspiracy theory woman or the dude who dates minors as minority leader as his replacement.
Pretty sure neither Perjury Greene nor Gaetz are senators…
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
