Hope she can make it back to work. Would be a waste of a gerontocracy if we don't get to see one of them kick it on the house floor

[–] [email protected] 59 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd love to see her kick it on the floor. I can imagine MSNBC doing God's work for the dems by creating misdirection, clutching their pearls, and saying...

"This is a sad and unformatted day. A senator has died on the senate floor. And if you like them or not - you should not be making fun of death on social media and in tweets."

"It is a truly sad day when it's clear that Americans will belittle anything or anyone at any time. Even at this tragic time..."

And their outrage continues all the way to the commercial break so they can entirely avoid the "g word".

She was a democrat

She was incompetent

But worst of all, she was a gamer

Can't believe the Russians greased the floors in Dianne Feinstein's house to promote the disinformation about her being old and infirm

[–] [email protected] 56 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Reminder that at the height of the Soviet gerontocracy, the average age of the Politburo was 70. Biden is 80, Pelosi is 83, and Feinstein is 90. Biden is trying to hold on to power until he's 86.

To be fair, if we're going to talk averages, the average in the US senate is still lower than that at ~65, and life expectancies have gone up. But yeah, US leaders are similarly ancient

As has already been pointed out, the US senate average is still (a little) lower, but anyway for reference Brezhnev was 75 when he died as leader, Andropov died at 69, and Chernenko at 73

Although Feinstein’s health continues to deteriorate, sources say that the root cause of this particular incident seems to have been a conveniently placed banana peel. The slip then caused her to trigger an anvil on a nearby shelf which subsequently bonked her on the head and caused a blunt force that turned her teeth into tiny piano keys

3 to 5 little white birds were seen chirping and flying around her head in a small circle

I hope they continue to prop her up in a chair until the aids have to do diaper changes on the senate floor.

No way, it'd totally be an unpaid internship I'd bet

why not both? Intern doesn't get paid but the intern leasing agency that manages them gets $200K/yr/intern

Anchor: "Mike, why aren't you in the Senate chamber?"

Reporter: "There was an issue that needed to be addressed."

Anchor: "An issue? What's the status of the vote?"

Reporter: "It's been interrupted by Senator Feinstein's absence."

Anchor: "But diaper changes are done on the Senate floor."

Reporter: "That's true. But the issue was that the senator had a temper tantrum and well... um... There's no easy way to say this - she threw her feces."

Anchor: "I see."

I hope they train ChatGPT on her writings and recordings so that her ghost can be our Senator for the rest of this country's existence.

The year is 2055. Dianne Feinstein's mummy has been hospitalized after her jaw fell off and needed to be rewired.

We should take the most budget conscious option and put her n Mitch McConnell in the same hole in the ground. They wouldve wanted that

That's the kind of bipartisan support I can get behind.

It’s a shame the most effective way to get new blood in Washington is for old people to fall.

She gets paid six figures to exist as a corpse while interns change her diaper

Truly the best system, founding fathers didn’t overlook anything!

The cracks in the geriatric kleptocracy of America is coming to its logical conclusion. Sadly it’ll make room for internet poisoned neoliberal maniacs who will continue to uphold the our necro-oligarchy.

Everyday we inch closer to a brainpoisoned lib senator calling the DSA a bunch of tankies.

I thought they were keeping Feinstein on adrenochrome because they don’t want her to be replaced by Barbara Lee, the one person in the house who voted against starting the Afghanistan War?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It's actually funnier/worse than that.

The Biden administration can't seat judicial picks without Feinstein because in their infinite wisdom democratic leadership chose a geriatric 86 year old to be on probably one of the most important committees in congress because she was still in "better" condition (it was already known that she'd complained of forgetfulness at the time she was selected to be on the committee).

Republicans have said they will absolutely not seat/allow a replacement (via filibuster) and the dems won't/can't end the filibuster so they're stuck with this weekend at Bernie's situation if they want any more judicial appointments this term.

For anyone who has to deal with smug annoying liberals in any capacity- this is a great way to dunk on their leadership and call out how inept they are at really basic risk management. I've found it really gets under their skin when you continue to press how terrible they are at really obvious components of their jobs.

Their ability to constantly be handcuffed by Republicans is incredible

What a shame, falling at home like that. She could have fallen in front of a bunch of cameras. Instead we didn't get to see it.
