I’m not arguing that you shouldn’t speak I’ll of the dead or any of that nonsense, hell I was talking shit about her on the day the announced her death, you’re welcome to check my comment history. But there’s a difference between that and protesting at their funeral.
Shes got family and friends who are grieving - and while she may have been a terrible person (and certainly was, in my view) her family isn’t necessarily, and they deserve their time to grieve as much as any of the rest of us.
I’m not advocating for rewriting her history, either the shitty things she did in her career or the “weekend at Feinstein’s” shit that had been going on for the last decade, but a funeral just isn’t the time and the place to point out what a shitty person she was. A funeral isn’t for the dead, it’s for the living who are mourning them - and they don’t necessarily deserve to be punished for her actions.
She is a politician. Sorry, but grieve in private then, she chose for her death to be a political act and so made her funeral a part of those politics.
TL;DR - right now is a perfectly valid time, the day she died was also a perfectly valid time. Actually disrupting her funeral to have the discussion however isn’t. Not because it’s disrespectful to Feinstein, fuck her. But because it’s disrespectful to the people who are - for their own reasons - mourning her.
I’m not advocating that we pretend she was a noble person or a great politician. If you wanna have a long convo right now about all her many many many faults, I’m all for it, but I don’t think it’s right to torment her family for Feinsteins moral crimes.
Yeah, definetely not the time - but he’s right
Eh, why not?

Thats not this guys fault. That was her decision.
When is the time? Long enough after the next time this happens for it to be respectful and for everyone to have forgotten already?
Nah. We’re talking. Kid done good.
