RapidcreekDianne Feinstein dies at 90
BuelldozerI find it sad that instead of spending her golden years with her husband and daughter that she instead spent them being wheeled around the Capital Building desperately trying to pretend that she was still healthy and relevant.
Hopefully this incentivizes a few more geriatrics to go home instead of spending their final years “on the hill”.
PurpleTentacleHad she retired on time, she would have been remembered as a trailblazer instead of a stubborn, senile, roadblock. The general public would have felt sadness instead of relief.
Lets be real, the bitch raised the confederate flag in san francisco multiple times, history will not be kind.
Context?
It was part of a historical flag display, showing a progression of 18 different flags flown in the US. I can fully understand and agree with the opposition to flying a Confederate flag, especially on public grounds, but it was a far different situation from some racist southern guvnah’ insisting on flying it out of pride.
Exactly.
My first post on Lemmy, instantly downvoted despite being factually correct. Ahhhh… feels like Reddit already. Home sweet home. 🏡👨🏻🌾
No one cares about the narrow pedantic bullshit you’ve built your argument around. Its a racist flag, trying to justify it just makes you a confederacy apologist.
Your response is baseless and is a ridiculous attempt to maliciously slander my character, don’t do that. You claim I’m building an argument in support of flying the Confederate flag or justifying it, I did not and I would not. You clearly are not reading what I wrote or you would have seen that I said I did not agree with flying the flag in my second sentence.
As I’ve already indicated, the person before me asked for the circumstances that this situation occurred and I feel I provided them with more details about the event. Discussion of an event is in no way condoning what took place and it most definitely does not make me a confederate apologist you blathering fuckwit.
No.
No no no no no no no.
There is ZERO excuse to fly it. ZERO.
You can have pictures of it or plaques about its history or even a film of the troops carrying it but you DO NOT fly it in any capacity, especially in a government situation.
I’m not disagreeing with that. They asked for context, I gave it. I think it was dumb as hell and disrespectful to fly it.
