Dianne Feinstein's final vote: Moment trailblazing Democrat, 90, is helped onto the Senate floor to raise her hand and say 'aye' just hours before her death in her D.C. home

Just hours before her death, 90-year-old Dianne Feinstein was helped onto the Senate floor for the final public act of her trailblazing career.

The California Democrat, holding onto her aide's arm, slowly raised her hand to vote 'aye' on Thursday morning in a procedural vote for short-term government funding.

Feinstein walked in without the wheelchair she used in the final months of her 30-year Senate career as her health deteriorated following a bout with shingles.

After giving her colleagues a brief wave, she was escorted out again following her last fleeting appearance in the upper chamber.

Feinstein subsequently missed two Senate votes in the afternoon.

But later on Thursday she was photographed at home in Washington D.C. with former California congresswoman Jane Harman.

Her office confirmed on Friday that she had passed away overnight at the Washington D.C. house.

Tearful colleagues returned to the Senate floor on Friday morning to pay tribute to the first female mayor of San Francisco and California's longest-serving senator.

Her daughter Katherine was in the gallery alongside Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, a fellow California lawmaker and friend of the family, as lawmakers from both sides of the aisle remembered the late senator as a political powerhouse who broke through gender barriers.

Wherever that Demonicrat is buried, even the maggots won’t want to touch her.

Please tell me where her grave is.

I have to pee.

Not joking.

She's probably still lying on a slab in some morgue. I would expect her body to lay in state at the Capitol before she's planted in the ground for good.

After that, whiz away...

If you wait a little while for Nancy, you can get a threefer between her, Dianne and Harry.

It’s ridiculous. No way did the framers ever consider the possibility of someone so old and more most importantly, sick and mentally confused leading us.

People always died back then before they could reach that state.

......God rest her soul...but still, she was Jewish and I am sure the Jewish rituals and so forth will be observed....cremation and embalment are both forbidden...not so sure about lying (not “laying”) in state.....

The Jewish funeral consists of a burial, also known as an interment. Cremation is forbidden. Burial is considered to allow the body to decompose naturally, therefore embalming is forbidden. Burial is intended to take place in as short an interval of time after death as possible. Displaying of the body prior to burial does not take place. Flowers are usually not found at a traditional Jewish funeral but may be seen at statesmen’s or heroes’ funerals in Israel.

How pathetic that the only thing you have left in your life is a political office that you hang on to until you drop dead. Sad that there are so many selfish, self-serving a$$ wipes like McCain, Feinstein, Byrd, and others who refuse to retire, despite debilitating health issues, because they think the country can’t function without them.

Diane’s Aide probably told her she was voting for the ERA Ammendment of 1973.

This woman has been brain-dead for years, and I’m not talking about being a Democrat (although that too is true)!

This vile woman has had someone telling her what to and how to vote for YEARS! Her “aides” literally raised her hand on more than one occasion and they have done it well BEFORE she ever had her “shingles” episodes!

the final public act of her trailblazing career.

Corruption is considered trailblazing by the media, I guess.

How many Republicans are falling all over themselves trumpeting the greatness of her?
(I think Rubio already has?)

Peter Schweizer exposed her and her husband in one of his books about how the crooked elites get rich!

Seems she and hubby sold computers to the military, embedded with chips that gathered information that could be sold to the Chinese!

Good. I’m not going to pretend, she was a human tumor. I’m glad she’s dead. BTW, How’s Nancy?

Nah.. poster girl for repealing the 17th Amendment.

Deep State bureaucrats, uniparty and Senior Executive Service would love term limits. They would get more power
