Social Diane Feinstein RIP

Giving her daughter power of attorney should have been a majority warning sign she was not long for this world.
 
I think the people around her should have done better by her and convinced her it was time. I personally don’t understand that mentality to hold on until the end. Hopefully it wont empower others to stay until the end.

To the normal human being, it would do the opposite.. but politicians, usually, are not normal.
 
Honestly, I think the reaction many in this forum had to the death of Rush Limbaugh should make people reconsider how they actually respond to the death of figures they really didn't like much. The whole idea of decorum and respect at the death of someone is good and fine - but for many it's a really, really empty gestures and is, ultimately, a lie told about someone you strongly disliked, maybe hated, and probably didn't respect. If all you feel for a person is revulsion for a politician who you think contributed to a lot of bad outcomes, the mask was torn off (here) not long ago - wish them down to hell if that's what you really feel. Putting flowers on the grave of a person in public when in private you want to piss on their grave seems... Profoundly disingenuous - and many here have made it clear they're happy to just skip the flowers and start pissing.

Personally, I have trouble giving a genuine message of condolences for anyone who stood tall and voted in favour of things that happened in the last few years. Many of these people are bad, bad people - out of touch elites who will drink champagne in places you were forbidden to go as your life fell apart because of policies they glibly supported buoyed on a fat paycheque and pronounced with political bullshit talking points. Many of these people sat in an ivory tower while you suffered and made it clear they were more interested in politics than your suffering. They fiddled while Rome burned and now I'm going to pretend like I'm sad they're gone?

I'm not going to cheer her going to hell like many did with Limbaugh recently, but I'm not going to pretend like I am sad she's gone. Bye, lady. Not everything you did was bad, but your clinging to power and influence until they day you died says a lot about who you really were. I hope someone who is more human and less a political animal fills your (granted, rather big) shoes after you clung on to power until your dying day, even robbing someone who might have had something to contribute to the political discussion until you literally died. For everyone else, I'll say it again - the mask has been taken off, in this forum, quite clearly. If you don't feel any actual sadness over her death, ask yourself, why do I lie and give condolences? What purpose does it serve? Who are you trying to impress?

Edit: Also, remember, when the most disingenuous actors among us come in here and say "Come on - show some respect!" look at their own conduct when Limbaugh died and ask yourself, are these the people you're trying to impress? What do you think they'll do when certain notorious figures you might support die? Will they be gracious, or will they skip the flowers and just start dancing on the graves? Again, the mask was torn off not long ago. It might be time to consider being honest rather than feigning grief and respect to impress people not worth impressing. Some of these disingenuous cunts will turn your own senses of decorum and compassion into weapons against you, and won't offer a whit in return when they have the chance.
I’ll be honest: I don’t care at all that she’s dead. She’ll be replaced by someone who can do exactly the same things she’s been doing for the past ten years.

If a right wing senator died, leftists would be partying on their grave that very day, mocking them, ridiculing everything they’ve ever said or done, and sending out celebratory tweets by the hundreds of thousands.

Honestly my first thought was thank God. She was not a good politician and she selfishly clung to power long past when she was capable of doing the job. Her mental state was blocking her own party from legislating at the end. I cant even feel bad for her family seeing as they didn't care enough about her to have her retire gracefully.
 
Barbara Lee is hopefully up next, the only member of Congress to vote against the war in Afghanistan.
 
You can go read my other response to one of your buddies who questioned my response.
I did and it made you look even worse.

There's something about being MAGA that gives people a license to be an asshole; that amoralism is a celebrated feature in its political culture.
