Sen. Dianne Feinstein turns 90 next year, at which point she will be in the penultimate year of her fifth Senate term. Finally, years after the rest of the press was privy to an open Washington secret, Feinstein’s colleagues have ramped up the pressure to force her out.
Feinstein, multiple Hill sources told the San Francisco Chronicle, is “rapidly deteriorating,” often unable to recognize colleagues in the chamber or recall conversations she just had. The only shocker is that Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the opposite chamber of Congress, stuck her neck out to protect one of her own.
Democrats only really began to debate whether Feinstein remained able to represent 40 million people when she oversaw the confirmation hearings of now-Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett as ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. But Feinstein’s cognitive decline has been apparent for some time now. Even before Feinstein famously turned the Brett Kavanaugh hearings into a partisan bloodbath — you may recall how the octogenarian first sat on Christine Blasey Ford’s letter until it leaked to the public — Feinstein allowed a Chinese spy to spend 20 years on her staff. In any other profession, Feinstein would have been put out to pasture long ago.
Instead, four Senators, three of whom are Democrats, are now sounding the alarm to Feinstein’s own hometown paper. Two say Feinstein failed to even recognize them, and several other people said Feinstein seemed to lose her mind while speaking at a memorial for a late San Francisco official — twice. Feinstein initially forgot to even mention the memorial’s subject, whom she had known for decades. She then returned to speak up again but spoke about the decedent in the present tense.

The “gerontocracy” applies to people, not parties. Folks need to keep this in mind. Lots of republicans over 75.
In a normal family, her children, husband or someone else would sit her down and explain it to her, your time is up, retire and live out the rest of your life in comfort.
But if anyone has done that, it’s not working, personally I don’t believe anyone in her family has told her, it’s time to retire, they are all too busy ripping off the public and lining their pockets thru insider trading deals and want to ride out the gravy train for as long as possible.
There is a age minimum for a reason.
There should also be an age maximum, and term limits.
“—a decaying congressional vanguard that she believes deserves wealth, privilege, and power beyond accountability.”
Nancy’s generation may be decaying but the youngsters are waiting in the wings to assume power, become wealthy and terrorize the population. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez certainly believes she deserves wealth, privilege, and power beyond accountability. Like Nancy she is typically impeccably dressed in new designer outfits costing thousands of dollars. Her wardrobe is unaffordable for someone still paying off student loans, even on a congressional salary. She lives in a luxury apartment in Washington where the rent is over $2000 per month for even a studio apartment. Plus she has expenses on a residence in her home district. During the pandemic she vacationed in expensive Miami Beach. Not to mention being ferried around in a gas guzzling SUV while preaching about electric vehicles.
This young Democrat princess in Congress, as she portrays herself as the champion of the poor, is already living the life of wealth and privilege. Insufferable in her hypocrisy she has plenty of years ahead to amass a fortune and wield dictatorial power, just like the current queen of the House Pelosi.
The more things “change” the more they are the same.
Leonid Brezhnev (1906–1982) died at age 75.
Konstantin Chernenko (1911–1985) was 5 years younger than Brezhnev and died at age 74.
The US Senate has many members much older that Brezhnev’s politburo.

Like the PIAPS, they’re both nothing but an empty shell of what was once a human female body...now fully demon possessed. Pure evil manifested in the flesh hiding behind religion and politics.
They sold their souls to Satan a loonnnnggggg time ago for wealth, fame and power. A little andrachrqme anyone???
At some point, their Big Daddy is gonna come collecting what’s his. The sooner, the better.
Bunch of dumb old hippies.
They’re also promoting “pandemic” practices that have killed many elderly.
When politics becomes a profession, this is what you get.
We now have a spoils system where seniority is king and we're to believe that the longer a pol stays in the same office the more expertise and experience he brings to the job.
The only thing these dinosaurs bring to the table is a higher position on the totem pole and more tax dollars flowing to their congressional districts or states.
Puppets don’t need a mind of their own to do the job.
WHO “gave permission “ to begin talking about Hunter Biden, about Biden himself and his attacks of dementia, about mentioning Pelosi’s age?
“They” know 2022 will be a slaughter house. Do you think they are planning on clearing everybody Hillary age to start a new breed of dictators?
Thanks RACPE. The Demagogic Party is a collection of violent, rival street gangs.
