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?
The Confederate flag, which was torn down twice this week by groups who consider it offensive, will not fly again above Civic Center plaza, Mayor Feinstein says. The mayor made her decision yesterday, after Supervisor Doris Ward asked her not to replace the flag. “I want to make it very clear that my decision is based only on Supervisor Ward’s request,” Feinstein said. “I’m not impressed because some group shinnies up a flag pole and tears down a flag.”
Over a decade of the people demanding it be removed, and when Feinstein finally caves, she still had to be a dick about and talk down to people pushing for progress…
She’s been a conservative her whole life, she just didn’t want an R next to her name.
Her argument is that it’s a part of our history. Removing it and pretending it’s not is whitewashing.
It’s important to remember where we came from to appreciate where we are and understand the mistakes of the past so that we don’t repeat them.
Plus, it sounds like nobody was charged for climbing the pole to cut it down, so let’s just make that a new tradition.
What a bullshit argument, placing that flag infront of a government building is an endorsement of the views the flag represents. The flag belongs only in a textbook with a large disclaimer explaining that it is a symbol of hate and racism. Do you see germany with swastika flags at their capital? No.
They should also fly the swastika in Germany since it’s “part of their history” according to that logic. Italy should wave the fascist flag from Kindom of Italy as well.
San Francisco was never even in the fucking confederacy. What possibly reason is there to fly it (except to use it to gain political points with racists)?
Confederates lost bro
Oh well lets fly some fucking swastikas around since fighting nazis was part of our history too.
Holy fucking shit. And Democrats elected her to fucking Congress
She actually insisted that trump could be a good President.
