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.
That’s a pretty shitty icon.
Feinstein dies in office, Carter enters month 9 of hospice surrounded by family. I know which way I would want.
My dad always said Jimmy Carter was too good of a man to be president
Good man, weak president.
Like so many Democratic Presidents, he was cockblocked by the GOP.
How so? He had a Democratic majority in Congress his entire term. Filibuster wasn’t as widespread as it is now.
He micromanaged his staff, and never got a good grip on the sausage making process in Washington. He was also more in bed with Evangelicals than people notice today. His sister is a pretty big reason why Evangelicals are so politically active these days.
He’s a pretty great human being all round. He sucked as President, and it has little to do with the GOP.
He had a Democratic majority in Congress
Bruh…
The same shit that happens today, happened back then too.
When Rs have a majority, they go nuts and pass all types of shit.
When Ds have a majority, there’s always X number of Dems willing to take the publicity hit to oppose progress. Where X equals the amount of majority they have.
Like, we got 52 D senators, 3 won’t vote. We have 57, 8 won’t. If we had 75, 26 won’t.
You never realized how big of a coincidence it is that there’s always enough to stop progress? It’s because there’s a shit ton that are oppose it, they just won’t say it because then they get replaced.
That’s not what was going on here. He had no idea how to negotiate with his own party. He micromanaged to the point that he insisted on approving use of the White House tennis court for the first 6 months in office. He could never let go of petty details, and it kept him from prioritizing important decisions.
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…
she voluntarily spent time with the likes of Ron Johnson and Ted Cruz rather than her grandchildren, for decades… So question is, how terrible are her grandchildren?
They’re probably great considering she had nothing to do with them.
Spolt little shits probably.
Somehow still running for re-election.
So has she finally retired from Congress?
Because with how adamant she was at staying in her seat despite being unable to do the job, I would not be surprised if they tried to go full Weekend at Bernie’s here.
The Lich is dead.
Women need better icons.
Her and RGB staying on too long, very iconic.
Proving that it’s not only old men that cling to power! Bad equality is still equality.
RGB stays on forever, or else the hardware isn’t cool anymore
Future President Elizabeth Warren

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!
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.
She died? How could they tell?
🥳
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.
