Sen. Dianne Feinstein, longest-serving woman in the Senate, dies at age 90, according to news reports Friday morning.

The California Democrat has over the past several months and years struggled with health issue and was planning to retire at the end of her term this year.

Feinstein, the oldest member of the Senate, faced calls to resign over health concerns, before her term ended.

She is also a former San Francisco mayor.

Feinstein missed votes from several month earlier this year while trying to recover from shingles. She returned to Capitol Hill using a wheelchair.

Piss on that traitor. China is in big mourning because she was one of their best assets. She doesn't get a pass from me just because her father Satan called her home. Tell John McCain we said hi.

Held on to that power to the last breath.

That is what the nations citizens are up against.
Well, and that's what I tell Gen Z'ers, Millennials, and others who are all "Boomers suck; they screwed up the world!"

I have two responses: "you mean the generation that marched to end segregation and for civil rights? The generation that marched and protested the war in Vietnam? The generation that implemented Earth Day? That marched for a woman's right to choose? You mean that generation?"

That usually shuts them the hell up, but my other response is "do you know how Boomers came to power in government, industry; in corporations and companies; in academia? Our parents died. We were old before we Boomers began taking power in any significant way in this country because our f*cking parents simply wouldn't let go of the reigns of power."

I just had that discussion with someone last week. "Frickin' Strom Thurmond died in office at a 101 years old. Diane Feinstein is 90 years old; my own mother died a couple of years ago, and she'd have been 84. The President of the United States is technically old enough to be my father, and I'm 66!" Okay, he would have been 16, but it's theoretically (and biologically) possible.
