Feinstein Dead at 90

[Lennys Tap]

I disagreed with her 90% of the time. That said, she was a way above average Senator.

If you enjoy kleptocracy, sure, she kicked ass.

I mean she was hardly unique in that regard.  Feel like thats kind of table stakes in examining the legacy of any long tenured politician.

Who on her staff is responsible for telling her?

Priceless!

[Jockey]

Who on her staff is responsible for telling her?

McConnell's corpse.

[HutchwasClutch]

McConnell's corpse.

A few walking corpses in DC besides Mitch.

[Dickthedribbler]

Who on her staff is responsible for telling her?

The same person on her staff who lied to her about Brett Kavanaugh being a serial rapist some 35 years previous.

Waiting to see if you guys make the same nasty comments when the likes of  McConnell and Grassley go.
She set a lot of 'firsts' and blazed the trail for a lot of women on both sides of the aisle.

Their leader demands it. Yesterday he was making fun of Paul Pelosi again.

These guys will proudly wallow in the mud.

She and Ginsburg overstayed their welcome, hey?

[MUBurrow]

She and Ginsburg overstayed their welcome, hey?

And significantly harmed the causes they claimed to care most about by doing so.

On deck in the "I'm--bigger--than--my--Party" club, Senator John Fetterman.

You do know that about a dozen "look at me" radicals who think they're bigger than their party were trying to force a government shutdown, right?

McCarthy finally did the right thing, and now the radicals in his own party will again threaten to take his leadership position away from him.

Anyone who dies of old age in governmental office deserves substantial ridicule because it means they were way past their prime.  We need term limits to solve this problem.  Even more importantly, we need requirements for wealth and leadership experience (like Singapore) before people are allowed to stand for these offices.  I'd much rather support a liberal like Herb Kohl who won't be bought than a conservative like McConnell who is available to the highest bidder - and can even switch positions within a week on issues when a better offer comes in. 

These senators and representatives live on sucking up to power and sucking up to donors.  They are almost all scum.

Great comment.

Because, as we all know, the wealthy are incorruptible and throughout history have shown a great proclivity toward the interests of the common man.
Bring back the aristocracy!

Yeah that was one bizarro take whichever side you generally support.

I'm not sure Singapore is a model for anything we want here.

At what income level do you become immune from being bought? Cause if theres one thing the wealthy hate,  it's more money

That may be one of the single dumbest ideas I've seen posted on scoop.

Most of the uber wealthy people I know got there one of two ways. Inheriting it (often from a person who was corrupt/corruptable), or by being corrupt/corruptable.

And although I'm not a big fan of McConnell's politics. He was an attorney. He would have been wealthy no matter what he did. He got into politics, because he was inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.

As a side note, most of the comments in this thread are reprehensible. Regardless of whether you agreed with her politics. She is a human being, she had family, and she was successful and inspired a lot of people.

The vast majority of truly wealthy people I know earned it. Usually though entrepreneurship.

That being said, it's a terrible idea.

Since most of them think things were better in the past, you'd think they want old farts in charge to bring those good old days back

You make truly bad choices of the people you know.

I can honestly say the wealthiest people I know are some of the most ethical and generous people I know.

Yes, there are despicable people who have great wealth and they certainly generate media exposure that could lead people to assume all uber wealthy are bad people. Not very different than believing most police officers are horrible people.
