“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

    You can see the spark of hope in those kids’ eyes getting snuffed out cold. Understandably so.

    I don’t respect people who say it’s my way or the highway. Now shut up and get on the highway cause we’re doing this my way

      Thankfully I don’t have to imagine it because people here are actually awesome enough to do it rather than bow down to ghouls.

      It would appear her empathy for others was clearly lacking. Why should anyone treat her better than her very own example?

      When would be a more socially acceptable time to celebrate the death of an obstructionist sack of shit?

      She threw her legacy in the toilet when she decided to cling to her seat for literal decades beyond her capability, and making herself a barrier to progress in doing so.

      She deserves zero respect, and only now - finally - that she’s dead do we have a spark of hope for anything good happening with her seat.

      May her tarnished reputation serve to dissuade other power-hungry assholes from following in her footsteps.

      I don’t wish death on anyone, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t outlived their usefulness to society.
