“You know what’s interesting about this group is that I’ve been doing this for thirty years. I know what I’m doing. You come in here and you say it has to be my way or the highway. I don’t respond to that.” - Dianne Feinstein

What a bitch. You've been doing this for 30 years and didn't fix anything.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 14 points 1 year ago

Fixed her fucking portfolio probably.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein wants her seven grandchildren to die. Sen. Dianne Feinstein doesn't care about anyone but herself. Sen. Dianne Feinstein is a danger to little kids.

Edit: So apparently she died. Thank goodness.

I've been doing this for 30 years.

So you're saying this is your fault?

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 year ago

She's been a failure for 30 years. What a piece of shit.

[–] TheCelticPirate@lemmy.world 74 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Old Democrats are barely better than old Republicans. Time to primary everyone over 70! If not younger.

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anyone over 70 cannot understand what young people are facing. They are already out of touch. Anyone above that is even worse.

Hell, my father is 70 and still thinks you can get a job by walking up to a desk and you can get a instant interview.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes and she died at 90, a sitting Senator.

We have ourselves to blame though. Literally. People kept voting for her.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What was the alternative? Vote for a frothing Trumper?

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

“It’s us or the horror of Trump!”

You’ve articulated the Democratic elite party line perfectly. Chef’s kiss. They have you by the brain stem.

As if there have been no other promising Democrats in California primaries for 30 years… SMH

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not American, I'm Canadian and we pretty much have the same issue here, it was vote for Trudeu again, AGAIN. or vote whatever stinky, wet noodle they had running up against him. Feinstein stayed in power because she was essentially unopposed. Nobody of merit wanted to lose face by going up against her. Voting for a republican is not an option, so the only other option is to not vote for any of them. Which is what I did in the last Canadian election, I made it clear that my vote was cast for nobody on purpose, which is tracked as a purposely botched vote, which at least lets the person in power know they are not liked either

You’re right the party apparatus becomes a barrier. They wayyy overplayed their hand with her. I’m sure that election after election they told themselves “it’s more important to win this time than pave the way for the future.”

And I’m sure that election after election she told herself “I’ll keep serving as long as the voters tell me to,” probably willfully oblivious to the fact that the fix was in on her behalf.

[–] pudcollar@lemmy.ml 44 points 1 year ago

She doesn't respond to much these days at all.

Challenge accepted I guess.

I'll just add this to the list of Graves I need to visit and piss on.

Ronald Reagan Rush Limbaugh Margaret thatcher Joseph McCarthy Dian Feinstein

[–] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

I personally look forward to the opportunity to spraying a steaming, splattery shart on Rupert Murdoch's grave, and fully intend to make the international pilgrimage I'll likely need to in order to do so.

Different piss list.

[–] dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

She'd be into it.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

lmao what a cunt.

Hope the ground is good and cold.

[–] detalferous@lemm.ee 35 points 1 year ago

This is Diane Feinstein's legacy: self centered destruction of the climate and the economy.

[–] azn03@lemm.ee 34 points 1 year ago

I mean, I'm not about people dying, but being so fucking old and holding onto power with a rotted hand is fucking tiring. I'm glad she's gone and look forward to the future and hopefully with someone with more progressive views.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

I never knew this good, helpful, fighting for the people Diane Feinstein I've been hearing about in all these eulogy articles. Throughout my entire adult life, she's been nothing but a career politician who fights for herself and refuses to step aside for the young generation.

Whatever good she produced is clearly far in the rearview mirror, cause to me she was nothing but a politician who should have been gone long ago.

[–] Vaggumon@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Rot in piece.

That's an odd thing to post since it's unproven

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, poor kids.

Their generation may want to think very long and hard about of they want children themselves. Do you want to have children in this world that has been turned into a pressure cooker by the past few generations?

Climate change, global warming, is a process that took centuries to get where it's at now. It will take a similar amount of time to bring it back to where it started. We've know the basics of it for over a century now. We've known it is shit hitting the fan for at least 50 years.

We. Did. Nothing.

Well more precisely, politicians didn't do anything because we have to pay CEOs and shareholders.

Change the fucking economy rules. We need capitalism, but we need it to have the hell restricted out of it. Not tomorrow, today.

And even if we do that, be prepared:

If we deadstop tossing CO2 into the atmosphere tomorrow, we're still fucked for centuries to come. Think mass starvation due to food baskets baking and no longer being able to produce the food required to feed the world. We still might not make it at all.

If we start pulling CO2 from the atmosphere (ONLY a viable solution once ALL power generation is renewable or nuclear) we're still fucked. It will take decades to centuries still to do this, and we'll have to spend 30-50% of the world's energy budget to do this.

We WILL have to resort to atmospheric engineering Ona global scale. If done right, it will cause problems but resolve the worst of global warming long enough to keep us alive.

The way that I see that happening is that some "leader" will want to make the history books, he will hear some bullshit and ignore scientists on how to do this the right way, he will do it his way and end up ~~saving~~ killing half the people on the planet.

I am really starting to wonder if humanity should be alive at all. 20% of humans are great, 79% are just living their lives, 1% fuck it up for everyone and EVERYONE LETS THEM
