Dianne Feinstein praises and hugs Lindsey Graham (both maskless)

[Polybius]

"I just want to thank you. This has been one of the best set of hearings that I've participated in," she tells him. "Thank you so much for your leadership."

I get it that she's a wonderful human being, but she's a bit too nice to these snakes.

[onecaliberal]

1. What!?!

[madaboutharry]

2. It was two days of stonewalling.

What is she talking about?

[bottomofthehill]

3. She has lost what marbles she had left.

[walkingman]

4. You have got to be kidding. The old senile folks are not helping our party.

[Faux pas]

5. Kickin' with disgust!

[liskddksil]

6. 2 Failures of Leadership in 1 Photo. Resign Diane nt

[Docreed2003]

7. JFC that's infuriating

I realize a lot of these folks are friends behind the scenes but what an absolute load of crap. These hearing were a sham. You going to vote to confirm Dianne?

[diva77]

8. I had called her office prior to the hearings imploring her to step down as minority head of the

judiciary committee. She obviously didn't listen to me.



I'll be calling her back to inquire about her maskless embrace of a senator who was exposed at the superspreader event yet refused to be tested for covid19.

K&R for exposure. Pun intended

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Not surprised.

She has become one of the Dems Weak Links. Just another Third Way Player.

As long as her Hubby gets the Contracts for sale of or Leasing of Federal Government unused Buildings,hey WTF,it is all about the money.

[coti]

13. Become?

This is how she's been at least since the early 2000's. Absolutely terrible.

[Wellstone ruled]

21. Will agree,

she knew she was going to be the Senior Dem on several Committees and that Power Rush has been a detriment to Many Dem Legislative efforts.

[TeamPooka]

10. Fuck them both.

[SophieJean]

22. Agree.

[Autumn]

23. Well.....

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. What in the name of fuuuuuuck is this shit right here??!! nt

[coti]

12. She's been an absolutely awful senator for decades now, beyond any current senility.

It's a stain on California's politics and emblematic of a larger problem in the state's Democratic party that she continues to be re-elected.

[theaocp]

14. She's in too deep.

That is just ... ridiculous.

[Statistical]

15. WTF? I am shocked. One can maintain decorum without calling that sham of a hearing

"one of the best" and without hugging Lying Lindsey.

WTF is going on?

[Rice4VP]

16. She needs to be retired. Weak!

[Celerity]

29. we tried in 2018, with Kevin de Leon, I tried my level best (I am a CA registered overseas voter) to

help de Leon win, but Feinstein is just too entrenched.

Feinstein will be one of the leaders against ending the filibuster and she is profoundly against an expansion of the SCOTUS

Link to tweet

Feinstein is also bad on other issues, especially the war/security/surveillance state and banking regulation

she is well past her expiry date and her views do not, at far too many intersections, match her constituents'

I was very disappointed when she won re-election.

She will soon be a nonagenarian (in 2 and a half years, well before her term ends), one of just a small handful ever in the Senate. During the last campaign, she hinted she might run AGAIN, in 2024, which is just madness. She would be within 6 months of turning 98 years old at the end of her next term.

Before this, there were only 4 Senators ever in US history who served into their 90's : Theodore F. Green, Carl Hayden, Robert Byrd, and Strom Thurmond (100 years, 29 days old his last day in office, and a senile lump of shit long before that) Only Hayden was still healthy and actually completely sound at the end. Chuck Grassley, if he runs in 2022 (doubtful, but who knows), would also be 90yo+ and still serving.

Only one House Rep has ever, in US history, served into their 90's, the ex Democrat turned-Rethug Ralph Hall from Texas. The Rethug Don Young, if he wins in 2020 (he is in big trouble, finally) and then runs and wins again in 2022, would be the 2nd. Eddie Bernice Johnson would have to run in 2022 and 2024 and then she would be the third.

[BSdetect]

17. This better not be what happens after Jan. WTF Get out of the way now.

[dustyscamp]

18. Didn't she muck up some things in the Kavanah hearings too?

[coti]

19. Yes. Well, she often mucks things up.

But I believe, among other issues, she implied at one point that she could vote to confirm him.

[Polybius]

24. Wonder how she'll vote this time

I can’t with her.

[stillcool]

20. looks like it's a farewell, bon voyage thing...

or just pay-back. See how Lindsay toys with the gesture in his campaign.

[bdamomma]

25. What the Hell

what's wrong with her????

Watch her get the COVID.

[NorthOf270]

26. Embarrassing

And people wonder why we never get our way.

Why we don’t think Trump will ever be punished.

Why we will never expand the court.

Why will never add states like DC or Puerto Rico.

[whttevrr]

27. It is time for her to retire

Will never vote for her. She breathes a rarefied air that most of America will never know. She is a 1%'er lap dog.

oh...
and,,,

Fuck chuck toad: #boycottNBC and #FireChuckTodd

EDIT:
She can afford retirement GTFOH

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D)
California’s Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s estimated $94 million net worth makes her the second-wealthiest serving senator. Blum Capital, a private equity firm founded in 1975 by her husband. Richard Blum, is the source for most of that wealth. Feinstein’s financial disclosure statement for 2014 revealed that she had anywhere from $5 million to $25 million invested in a blind trust. She also had between $3.1 million to $7.3 million in various money market accounts.

28. And that is why the Democratic Party is always treated like Charlie Brown with Lucy and the football

Unfortunately since it has gone on for so long, the Republican Lucy Party doesn't even bother to hold the football anymore and tells Democratic Charlie Party to pick it up as they stand behind him and kick him in the ass with their toes drilling into his nuts when he bends over.

[tman]

30. Leadership? Disgusting.

[raccoon]

31. Maybe she'll give him covid. Nt

[Sunsky]

32. Thanks for your services

It's time to hang it up DiFi. I cannot fathom why she would think this is a good idea. Lindsey may lose his seat and you have just bolstered his campaign with this photo op. Thanks. Also, ACB sham hearings should not have taken place in the first place. Please California, you can do better, the time for blind loyalty has passed.

[JI7]

33. She might have got Covid with this

[Vinca]

34. Does she have a death wish or something? Given her age she's in big trouble if she gets

Covid and Lindsey has looked ill all week. As for "best hearings," they might have been acceptable hearings if the nominee answered one question. If someone asked her what her astrological sign was she'd dance around the issue. It was a farce.
