Once upon a time we mocked the Soviet Union for its gerontocracy. Aged party leaders, bundled up in overcoats and fur hats to the point of near-unrecognizability, would be wheeled out to sit, immobile, as parades passed or party congresses opened. Their withered, stale leadership was emblematic of the decaying USSR’s withered, stale ideology — and industrial base.
But now the joke’s on us. A leading United States senator, Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), can’t seem to remember important things, like her just-taken vote on a judicial nominee and her just-announced retirement. “Did I vote for that?” she asked an aide Wednesday, moments after leaving the chamber.
The day before, the oldest sitting senator announced she wouldn’t seek another term — or her staff did, anyway. Asked about her coming retirement an hour after the statement posted, Feinstein said, “Well, I haven’t made that decision. I haven’t released anything.” A staffer told her she had. As The Post reported, “an incredulous-sounding Feinstein” said, “You put out the statement?” before telling reporters, “I didn’t know they put it out.”
Well, Feinstein is 89. She shouldn’t be expected to remember things too well at that age. But maybe she shouldn’t be expected to serve two more years in the Senate, either.

DiFi was a good mayor. Kept the whackos at arms length and there were many of them in SF. Why she’s been in DC for the last 10 years at her age can only be explained one way. They live for this $hit.
So they’re old, big deal. AOC and her squad are young - which poses the biggest threat?
They will both vote the way Schmukie tells them to so that is good enough.
As fit as the rest of the Rats. Actually better - they’ll do less damage.
The DEMs don’t care as long as they win and/or hold seats.
At the DNC:
“Did you see the D next to their names?”
“Yeah.”
“That means they’re still fit to serve.”
“Oh, now I get it.”
Let’s check with CHATBOT!
They serve the Party very well.
Rest of us be damned.
P
Eighty-nine and not a grey hair on her head. Simply amazing.
She be Soylent Green material.
How many other Chi-com spies will she be taking with her when she retires?
I still like the political sign:
Biden / Fetterman
2024
It’s a no brainer!
Feinstein, Fetterman, and Biden are just props.
Their strings are being pulled by young, socialist, sociology majors from the Ivy League.
Soon Democrats will tout being a stupid idiot is a qualification to be an MD.
Same ones that believe Biden is fit to lead? Those dems? Say no more.
I guessing they lose Fetterman’s vote in the senate.
They’ll probably use him like they used byrd, if needed....and Feinstein aint too far away from byrd like status
There is nothing delusional about making sure a reliable vote stays put. Democrats understand the nature of political reality. Republicans just want money and to be allowed to sleep. Democrats genuinely pursue power for its own sake. They correctly see politics as war by other means and they seek the destruction of their enemies. Finestein and Fetterman vote as they should, it wouldn’t matter if they were legally dead, their vote is what maters nd that is all that matters. A black white collar worker in New Orleans explained it succinctly. Democrats deliver material rewards of all sorts to black people. Welfare to the poor and ignorant, affirmative action to the middle class and wealth to the Jesse Jackson class. Therefore blacks just want to keep the benefits coming. They will vote for anyone with a D beside their name.
In turn the elected Dems will reliably vote and emote for anything the Dem leadership tells them to do. To him it was what he called’the perpetual Afro American money and jobs escalator’. The Republicans offer blacks absolutely nothing in return for their votes.This is the Democrat playbook. Organize targeted benefits to targeted groups in return for political loyalty. Use the elected official base as an enrichment and power accumulation tool for Democrats. What does the GOP have to offer to get any of these dedicated beneficiary groups to vote Republican? White, straight, middle class Americans simply don’t get the Democrat operational doctrine, refuse to believe such a scheme could be happening, or are just obtuse, and think every ethnicity and group such as queers are just people waiting to vote GOP as soon as the missionaries explain to them the advantages of individual responsibility and how limited government and free markets will make them all prosperous and virtuous. WAKE UP dumb whiteys. Most people want benefits and a free ride, not hard work and constant effort and they don’t give a crap about virtue.
