He’s out of line, but he’s not wrong.
He said what a lot of us are thinking.
Then say it somewhere where her family is not. Tacky AF.
She fucked up countless families. I have no sympathy for hers.
Then bring it up at somewhere other than her funeral. You are a fucking asshole.
Fuck that. The lesson isn’t being learned.
If you are so fortunate as to exceed the median life expectancy, it is time for you to step aside and leave the important decisions to those who still have a future.
You’re an idiot and not worth listening to then
Huh. Well, I hadn’t considered a political career, but since you think I’m qualified…
If you don’t want your life to be a political issue, don’t go into politics.
That is the dumbest logic ever. Everyone has a family that should be able to mourn that has absolutely nothing to do with their career choices. No one related to anyone ever has a choice about what career people chose. A funeral is not only about the person. It’s about the family and friends around them.
You are stupid. Stop trying to justify it and sound smart. You don’t. You sound selfish and short sighted and not worth listening to about anything political or otherwise because you are too inept to realize the consequences in a grander scale.
Go cry to someone that gives a shit.
AWW, THE RICH PERSON DIED AND PEOPLE ARE MAKING FUN OF THEM.
Is that better?

Funny, thats what everyone else was saying about you just now
Her family is in the parking lot?
You must be part of Westborough pedo church
Is he even out of line?
Oh. He’s out of line. This should be a “come into my office on Monday so we can discuss the thing I saw on the internet and your future at this company” conversation that will haunt him over and over.
Thats when you call your boss a nosy cunt and ask em why they care.
“come into my office on Monday so we can discuss the thing I saw on the internet and your future at this company”
LOL. And then the employee reacts how, exactly? “Oh noes, I hope you don’t fire me, I’d hate working for more money at a company not run by someone so oversensitive”
More like “oh no, I hope you do fire me for my right to protest, thats a very easy lawsuit”
I think they were stating the level of out of line, not the actual consequence.
Haunt? Only in your egotistical dreams, bud. You’d be doing the guy a favor not working for you.
Yeah, fuck the right to protest!
Yeah, definetely not the time - but he’s right
Eh, why not?
I’m not arguing that you shouldn’t speak I’ll of the dead or any of that nonsense, hell I was talking shit about her on the day the announced her death, you’re welcome to check my comment history. But there’s a difference between that and protesting at their funeral.
Shes got family and friends who are grieving - and while she may have been a terrible person (and certainly was, in my view) her family isn’t necessarily, and they deserve their time to grieve as much as any of the rest of us.
I’m not advocating for rewriting her history, either the shitty things she did in her career or the “weekend at Feinstein’s” shit that had been going on for the last decade, but a funeral just isn’t the time and the place to point out what a shitty person she was. A funeral isn’t for the dead, it’s for the living who are mourning them - and they don’t necessarily deserve to be punished for her actions.
She is a politician. Sorry, but grieve in private then, she chose for her death to be a political act and so made her funeral a part of those politics.
Thats not this guys fault. That was her decision.
He’s not out of line. Many of these politician people don’t respect us in life so we absolutely don’t ever have to respect them in death.
Protesting funerals is specifically legal, shitty but legal. I’m personally fine with it as long as they’re not actively heckling funeral goers.
She’ll always have the legacy that she was too mentally incompetent to know when it’s time to retire and let the next generation take over. Worked herself to death and for what exactly
Her and RBG really fucked up badly. But they don’t have to be here to see the fallout.
It’s like to know what Ruth Baker Ginsberg did wrong except die early. She was sharp up to her very last day.
Don’t paint all old people with the same ignorant brush. Try and grow some empathy while you can still use it.
She was 87. Yeah, she was sharp as a tack, no doubt. But 87 isn’t dying early. It sure isn’t dying early when you account for the fact that she was diagnosed with colon cancer back in 99, pancreatic cancer in 09, and had surgery in 2014 because of the cancer.
This has nothing to do with empathy or painting old people with any brush. This has to do with the health of the nation. She could have retired during the Obama years when she was already well past the average age of death and her body was failing to enjoy a few years of retirement.
I didn’t say everyone over 65 needs to be pushed out to sea on an ice floe. If you’re feeling like any of my words are an attack on old people maybe examine why. Because it’s showing more about you than about me.
She should have retired between November 2014 and January 2015 after the GOP won the Senate elections but the Dems still had a few more weeks of control.
But they were afraid of the optics. Unlike the GOP, the Dems have a sense of shame.

You sure? I just pulled it from Wikipedia. They could be wrong and I make no secret of the fact that I’m wrong pretty often.

We were discussing RBG and the guy’s claim that she “died too early”, not Feinstein.
Nope, 87.
deleted by creator
Yes, but OP was referring to RBG, not Feinstein.
She had the opportunity to retire and let someone younger take her seat. She didnt.
Clarify how they’re wrong if you want to label them ignorant, please.
EDIT: Of course they won’t…
Yeah no. She’s an idiot, fienstien is an idiot too. Most old people are.
Sharp as a rusty spoon, you mean? Staying on knowing that by doing so she was handing her seat to conservatives, ruining her reputation by allowing them to shit on every career accomplishment she had?
Real sharp. Friends like her, who needs enemies?
If I had known the amount of hate I’d get from “my side” if I “overstayed” my welcome I’d also cling to my post out of “fuck you too”
One party holds on their members until their corpse rots in jail, and the other abandons them the minute it smells of fart…
Politics are fun!
It’s almost as if one side plays unfairly to the status quo and has more power, and the other side has to actively fight for and defend progress and doesn’t want to take steps backward.
So you would abandon your morals if asked to give up power to prevent that power being used against your accomplishments?
Sounds like you get along swimmingly with rgb. Power over progress was her motto too.
nah she was a racist cunt who ruined san francisco i hope she burns in hell
Where are you getting the racist part from? Hopefully it’s not from her issue behind removing the confederate flag from a flag display, because that had nothing to do with actually supporting that flag.

If that kind of working class solidarity is “trashy” then you can call me the trash man. fuck feinstein fuck Mitch McConnell fuck any politician who holds on to power selfishly at the expense of the rest of us.
aGeIsM
While she was a horrible ending, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was even worse. Rbgs lifetime of work was eviscerated because she was too selfish to step aside when her time was due.
These people are the epitome of ‘you can die a hero or live long enough to become a villain’.
Yeah, at least Feinstein was always guaranteed a Democrat replacement. RBG stayed even after it was known it would be a guaranteed conservative replacement.
Remember when Merritt Garland was supposed to be a Supreme Court justice?
Even if RBG retired under Obama, McConnell would have done the same shit with her replacement.
Now she didn’t know that, but it doesn’t mean we would have a better court if she had retired sooner.
She could have done it when she was diagnosed with cancer 9 years previously and the Democrats controlled both houses with a supermajority in the Senate and a decade past the standard US retirement age.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Yes, that’s what many people said at the time.
The argument with garland was “it was an election year”. They tried to make rbg retire well before that so at least that argument would have been different.
He’s right though. Fuck these assholes and their lust for power.
Fuck all those old sacks of ass.
He is right.
Dude is on point.
Imagine being a stan for Feinstein or any of the other politicians that have spent their lives sitting on their hands and making hollow remarks for massive paychecks.
It was a relief when nature forced her to retire. And she was my senator.
I never support protesting funerals, so I’m not exactly a fan of this guy, but he’s not wrong.
When did she die?
Like 6 years ago, but she served in the Senate until September 29th.
A couple weeks ago. Shes the American Margaret Thatcher, the lite beer version.
Not that I am a big fan of Feinstein but saying she’s the American version of Thatcher is just straight up incorrect. Both of them had different policies.
A more apt comparison would be Stephen Milligan. Though again, their politics don’t align, he also stayed in office till death.
Lmao she’s definitely not Maggie.
You know what’s trashy? Arguing with children about climate change.
