    I feel like (Unfortunately) Feinstein felt that the concerns she had would not be carried to the next senator that took her place. This is the unfortunate thing about a 2 party system. Someone from the same party to take your place but none of your goals will be furthered

      A while ago she missed a months of work and when she got back she argued with reporters that she hadn’t missed a day…

      I don’t give a shit what concerns she had, she wasn’t mentally sound so it doesn’t matter what she was thinking

      Her remaining in the Senate looked more like elder abuse than a legitimate decision she made. Feinstein was very obviously suffering from dementia and not capable of her duties in her final years.

      Bullshit, she probably couldn’t even remember the previous day nevertheless her “concerns”. Her concerns were her wealth, her status, and her power. That’s it.
