      Feinstein's defenders suggest she's not the only impaired lawmaker in congress. Which is true but also really bad.https://twitter.com/PhilipWegmann/status/1514544319834828801 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      Philip Melanchthon WegmannVerified account @PhilipWegmann
      Remarkable: Four US Senators, and three former Feinstein staffers say that it appears Feinstein "can no longer fulfill her job duties without her staff doing much of the work required to represent the nearly 40 million people of California." https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/dianne-feinstein-senate-17079487.php …

      I mean this is peak Dem establishment right here: a cynical deployment of egalitarian rhetoric (in this case feminism) in defense of gerontocracy. Which gerontocracy is in fact bad for feminism since it blocks rise of younger female leaders.pic.twitter.com/UmVCw2s3xl

          Pelosi, for one, has seemingly made it her job to prevent the rise of younger female leaders.

          I agree with you. I still get to feel pissed off at Feinstein getting this treatment when I had to endure fossils like Strom Thurmond, Robert Byrd, etc. For democracy to flourish, we need term limits and a mandatory retirement age.

          Sigh. No, term limits gives much more power to lobbyists. But yes, a mandatory retirement age may be necessary.

          Sometimes I think of a different world where covid hit the US a little earlier and got to DC before they could button up, before there was even the expensive experimental treatments, and the entire dem upper echelon just got wiped out.

          Dem echelon? That’s an upside down view. There’s an echelon needing a wipeout, but they don’t have D’s by their names. Just think, the whole J6 coup could have been avoided.

          Somehow "Strom Thurmond did it so I should be allowed to too" is just not the compelling defense that they think it is.

          Plus if they really respected Feinstein, (and her constituents)they would have quietly got her to step down before it became public that she, sadly, is no longer fit to serve. Her condition has been in the news for a while now
