    She'll serve out the rest of her term (try to, she is 89) and make room for someone else. Adam Schiff and Katie Porter are already in the race to succeed her. Barbara Lee of Oakland expected to join in. Developing....

    She's not in good shape. She said she hadn't decided whether to run again... an hour after announcing her decision not to.

    Undoubtedly, she's one of the several congresspersons who are on Alzheimer's meds. I don't think it's unreasonable that there be an age cap in political office. Perhaps age 70? Because we're seeing so many upper 70s, upper 80s seniors who hold powerful positions and look like they barely know what the hell is going on, Feinstein being one of them. Who gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to walk around without being aware of anything? Clearly, congresspeople. We need to change that.

    Something that's not been mentioned, and I think it needs to be brought up here:
    She's not only the person who discovered the bodies of Harvey Milk and Mayor Moscone, but she immediately had to step into the role of acting mayor before the police had removed the bodies. Supposedly, she was just popping by to talk to one of them and found them dead on the floor with no warning. That has got to fuck you up. And then, you've got to function immediately. Not only do you have a couple of dead bodies to worry about, but you're also now the fucking mayor of a major US city. And you're a woman in 1978. Doesn't matter that you're living in one of the most progressive cities in the US, in one of the most progressive states in the US, you're still going to be shat upon.

    So, you lock as much of that away as you possibly can and go on with your life. But as you get older, it gets harder to keep shit pushed down so you can go about your life. Sooner or later, it starts to leak out from behind the seals. At first a trickle, then a massive flood. At this point, the inside of her skull is probably a regular house of horrors. You try functioning at nearly 90 with such things in your head.

    Your master troll attempts are even more feeble than FFs or UAs. Sad, really. You're not even a Ron DeSantis trying to imitate Trump. Not even a Ted Cruise. More like that stupid twit that Rudy farted on.

    This has nothing to do with being an edgelord. If I was going to do that I would be shitting on Jimmy Carter being in hospice. This is me not whitewashing a deplorable cunt on the right and pretending she is a decent legislator when she has been an enemy of my values pretending to be an ally.

    I do get where that might have chapped your ass considering you feel the need to go along with the herd of dems and pretend that everyone like Joe Boden, Joe Manchin, and ho-bag sinema are all actually progressive and wonderful angels of the left. California seems to be a great place to get into congress as a corporate republican in dem clothing. If it was just her rotting brain I might be wrong, but there have been a ton of corporate cocksuckers doing liberal performance art from california.

    But, if that is what you think makes a master troll, I guess I am guilty as charged.

    Anyway, I suggest finding some aloe for your ass as it soothes the flames from my master level troll spnacking. Don't mock the title when you are so clearly butthurt by such a low level, but needed, pissing on a cuntrag.

    Yeah, because we all know that your aspirations to become such a thing are as pathetic as Dayton's Presidential ambitions. This is all about you being mad people aren't paying attention to you, so you say something that you think is "edgy" in hopes of getting it.
    Nah, because not only do you know that you'd get shit on for being stupid, but people would point out far worse things that Carter did than you'd post.

    No, this is just you wanting attention.

    Please, post where I've ever been a fan of Manchin's. I'll wait. As for Sinema, sure, like everybody, I assumed that when she was first elected that she'd play ball with the Dems in Congress. Don't think that I've continued that since she's long since demonstrated that she's a twatwaffle.

    And? What are you doing? Volunteering for aid organizations? Donating money to political organizations? Or just throwing temper tantrums on the web? Of course, being absolutely cynical about everyone and everything is easy. You never have to get your hopes up, you never have to work for anything (Why bother? Someone else will only fuck things up.), never have to admit that the candidate you helped to get elected turned out to be less than perfect. Yeah, you just become a left-leaning version of UA or FF. No need to put any real thought in your positions, you just adopt a slightly contrarian view and you're golden! No need to engage in complex thought processes or have to worry about getting your heart broken because your preferred candidate wasn't 100%. All you have to do is pick one that has some of the same views as you but has no hope of getting elected. Then you can pretend to be above it all, and not have to worry about getting your hands dirty when it comes time to pitch it to actually accomplish anything. Because otherwise, your feelings might get hurt, and we can't have that, can we? Much easier to back a candidate you know from the start has no hope, than to back one that has a reasonable chance of winning and then might have to do something you don't like, because the nature of politics is that we never get everything that we want, so we compromise and try to make things at least slightly better if we can't solve everything. You're not willing to compromise on anything. Not from a moral standpoint (because, yes, when it comes to things like LGBTQ+ being able to live their lives in peace, compromise isn't always a good solution, so I get that) but because you're afraid to deal with the emotional pain that will result when only 9 of the 10 ideas you like are pushed for by a politician. Damned if you ain't as fragile as UA and FF. And in as much denial of the subject as they are. Sad.

    Oh, no, no, no. You think that you're a master troll, nobody else here does.
    Sad that you think this was a spanking.

    Wow, I made you go full on tldr butthurt. I am not sure why you think I am suddenly hating her or unwilling to piss on an elderly cunt. I thought you might have read some of my posts before. This is not me being particularly edgy.

    I did not know you were a fan of California's second most powerful female liberal performance artist congresscritter.

    Anyway, thanks for the tears, that was far more butthurt than I expected for that. Sorry to hear about your crush getting alzheimers. I guess that is tough.

    Who put itching powder on tuckerfan's tampon? Oh wait, it must have been me and I forgot. Who are you people, and where is timmy?

    I accept your surrender and your confession that I cut too close to the bone for you to risk reading everything that I wrote. Your inability to engage in self-reflection to the same levels as FF and UA is duly noted.

    I am going to have to remember this feinstein button, it sure is fun.

    Just for your sake, I don't smoke weed much, I robotrip on DXM. It will help you to make better insults if you pay attention.

    You do that. :yes:

    So, you're not cool enough to know folks who can easily supply you with things like weed and LSD, you have to resort to what desperate high schoolers do when they can't manage to steal beer. And like FF, you somehow think this admission of how pathetic you are "owns" other people. Sad.

    Which one? You or Feinstein? Ooooh, that's right, you can't wrap your tiny little head around the idea that I could hold nuanced positions about something. Like how I can be all in favor of things like term limits for members of Congress, not like a number of things that Feinstein has said or done, or still have enough of my humanity left to recognize that no matter how evil a human being might be, there are certain levels of pain and suffering that no one, not even a genocidal maniac, deserves to have thrust upon them.

    In the early 90s, I got to watch a friend of mine with a broken back suffer not only the horrors of trying to navigate the American medical system with no insurance but also trying to do it while being HIV+ and a gay man. The fucking kitchen staff were too afraid to bring his meals into his hospital room because they thought they might catch AIDS because of it. He later felt so helpless because of everything that he committed suicide in December of '93. You know what hit the market early in '94? AZT and a bunch of other drugs that gave people with HIV a fighting chance to survive. Had my friend lived, he might have gotten those drugs, he might then have been able to get the treatment to fix his back that he needed. And had Reagan not been such a homophobic asshole (or, indeed, much of the medical establishment, because clues that HIV was circulating in the population had been obvious since the early 70s, but because the victims were gay, sex workers, and/or drug users, nobody gave a shit) that treatment might have been available long before my friend got sick.

    So, I fucking hate Reagan. You give me a time machine, a sniper rifle, and tell me to go kill Reagan? Oh, it is on like fucking Donkey Kong. When (pre-1980, of course) do you want me to put the bullet in his head? Really hope that it's on live TV so that years later we'll have memes of his brains being splattered to the sky with captions like "Sic Semper Tyrannus" or "I've got a splitting headache." :fap:

    If, instead, you want me to give Reagan HIV, so that he, Nancy, and a bunch of other pricks die because of it, nothing doing. Sorry, but I refuse to surrender that much of my humanity. Nobody deserves that kind of pain and suffering. Nobody.

    And I don't care what that makes me in yours, or anyone else's world. Because I have felt some pain and suffering in my time. Forget the emotional stuff, just having to strip off protective gear and then dig a hunk of molten metal out of your ass because you can't wait for a fucking ambulance, is not something that anyone should have to endure. But I did. And I don't want anyone else to have to experience that because it's no fun. Okay, it's possible that I did learn from the experience, but surely it is possible to teach such things without subjecting an individual to third-degree burns. Right?

    First, weed is simple and does not go very far, and LSD actually is painful for some people. Any time you want to try plat 4 or sigma you do that and tell me how it goes with a "kiddie" drug. There is nothing that has brought me to the places DXM does, however I will admit that body chemistry does make a difference when you talk about the sort of trips I do. If it works for you, don't play stupid games.
    Now you are back to spitting out more toxic masculinity than UA.

    Great, you know pain. I am not really sure where this applies to cuntrag, nor do I really care much, but do get all that weeping out.
