‘Bad and Getting Worse’: Dianne Feinstein Is Losing Her Memory, Concerned Senate Sources Say

Agreed. Any time the left wants to push out an old D, I can think of no other reason except that they actually found someone even more sleazy to replace them.
And you and I and everybody else knows that is not difficult to do.
 
That's not her gaffe.... but rather carolyn Mccarthy, an even dumber anti.

McCarthy was good, tucker made that though by walking her right into it lol

My favorite idiot is Diana degette who is still in congress and was sponsoring a bill to ban non cripple mags.

Honorable mention to the Lt Gen CNN talking head and his firing an AR in “full semi automatic” lol
 
The dems forced Feinstein to step down from chair of the senate judiciary committee because they knew she was losing it. This isn’t a new thing but considering the dedicated news article, the push to resign is obvious.
 
Honestly It seems like we should be forcing annual cognitive tests for all our politicians. but how do “the people” force a change like this on the body of .gov. Thats like making .gov raises a ballot item.
How many republicans would pass an 'unbiased' test?
 
Be a real shame if she drowned in her bathtub.
Why the hell do they never go senile by babbling the detailed truth in public?

(Notwithstanding Biden's* "the most extensive and inclusive VOTER FRAUD
organization in history" or bragging at a CFR presser that he got
the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating his criminal dealings fired
by threatening their foreign aid).

Sure, and AOC is 32...

That’s my point. that it shouldn’t be up to them. this is an item that should be up to us.

Strictly speaking, it already is up to us.

Voters have the chance to fire these people every six years. More often than not, voters choose not to (both parties), no matter how unqualified they are, no matter how criminal their behavior, no matter how badly they represent the people. That's a problem.

Feinstein was never a "good Senator," and she was never ever intelligent. She was devious and clever and she played politics well. She never did anything objectively useful for her voters, and yet? They kept electing her.

That’s the same excuse the Dems use (voting as a term limit) and frankly it’s total horseshit. You know that and we know it’s a fantasy.
People are too damn lazy. They recognize the name and check the f***ing box.

Yep. Alas.

We do need term limits, but we should also recognize that term limits would have been repugnant to the people who founded our country. They're an admission that the whole ideal of democracy is flawed.

But yes, we need 'em.
 
The dem leadership are comprised mainly of octogenarians who are basically walking around mumbling to themselves, slugging down the geritol in their offices. The young commie left loves doddering old fools because they'll sign off on anything and they won't even know what they signed off on 5 minutes later.

Many of these politicians are going to die in office. Why? Because they enjoy the privilege from arrest clause in the constitution and if we knew what they were really doing we'd be collectively pressing charges. So they don't want their legacy to be "died in prison a pauper for crimes committed in office" they want the legacy to be "champion of civil rights for minority groups and poverty programs, etc etc". Of course in 100 years Nancy Pelosi will be as unknown to the future as the speaker of the house was in 1913 (Champ Clark I actually had to google it).
 
Colleagues are worried Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who turns 89 in June, is no longer fit to serve, according to a new report from the San Francisco Chronicle.

The Chronicle spoke to four U.S. senators, including three Democrats, three former members of Feinstein’s staff, and one California Democrat in Congress about how the longtime senator has been losing her memory, that she often fails to recognize colleagues, and that she is no longer able to engage with the job in the way she used to.

The California Democrat recounted a recent exchange in which they had to reintroduce themselves to Feinstein several times over the course of a single conversation, and that Feinstein kept repeating questions, like asking what mattered most to voters in the lawmaker’s district. “I have worked with her for a long time and long enough to know what she was like just a few years ago: always in command, always in charge, on top of the details, basically couldn’t resist a conversation where she was driving some bill or some idea. All of that is gone,” they said. “She was an intellectual and political force not that long ago, and that’s why my encounter with her was so jarring. Because there was just no trace of that.”

“It’s bad and it’s getting worse,” added a Democratic senator, noting that Feinstein has had difficulty keeping up conversations.

One staffer for a California Democrat said there’s a joke on Capitol Hill that Democrats have “a great junior senator in Alex Padilla and an experienced staff in Feinstein’s office.”

Sen. Padilla was one of a handful of Democrats who defended Feinstein’s cognitive abilities to the Chronicle. So did Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Pelosi said it was “unconscionable that, just weeks after losing her beloved husband of more than four decades and after decades of outstanding leadership to our City and State, she is being subjected to these ridiculous attacks that are beneath the dignity in which she has led and the esteem in which she is held.”

The Chronicle notes its sources’ comments about Feinstein’s declining mental acuity took place before her husband’s death in late February. Feinstein said in a statement to the Chronicle on March 28 that the “last year has been extremely painful and distracting for me, flying back and forth to visit my dying husband who passed just a few weeks ago.”

Feinstein has her defenders, but even those questioning her fitness to serve acknowledged that it was hard to do so because of the immense respect they have for her and what she’s accomplished over the decades she served in Congress. The Intercept’s Ryan Grim spoke to a Democratic staffer who was a little more blunt in their appraisal of the situation. “Feinstein’s decline is an open secret on the Hill and anyone claiming otherwise is a liar,” the staffer said.

This isn’t the first time concern has been raised over Feinstein’s ability to carry out her job. The Chronicle points to 2020 when it was possible that she could head up the Senate Judiciary Committee should Biden win and Democrats control the Senate (Sen. Dick Durbin is the current chair). She told the Los Angeles Times at the time that she didn’t believe her cognitive abilities had declined, but that she “quite possibly” forgot things.
