He’s out of line, but he’s not wrong.

He said what a lot of us are thinking.

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.

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.

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

[-] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 64 points 1 year ago

Her and RBG really fucked up badly. But they don't have to be here to see the fallout.

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.

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'.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah, at least Feinstein was always guaranteed a Democrat replacement. RBG stayed even after it was known it would be a guaranteed conservative replacement.

He's right though. Fuck these assholes and their lust for power.

Fuck all those old sacks of ass.

[-] Phegan@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

He is right.

[-] SafCack@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Dude is on point.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

It was a relief when nature forced her to retire. And she was my senator.

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] rDrDr@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I never support protesting funerals, so I’m not exactly a fan of this guy, but he’s not wrong.

Like 6 years ago, but she served in the Senate until September 29th.

Also I dunno, don't fly a Confederate flag in a proud union state and then try to prosecute the hero who repeatedly climbed the flag pole, tore it off and burned it.

Trashy Zone

You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A terrifying journey into the depths of human depravity. Next stop, the Trashy Zone.

Following these rules will increase your odds of making it out of the trashy zone alive.

  1. Be nice. Rude, aggressive and antagonistic commentors will be made leave.

  2. I don't want a classist definition of trashy being this subs main interpretation of trashyness. Posts depicting decadent displays of wealth are encouraged

  3. The five patron saints of the trashy zone are Charlie, Mac, Dennis, Dee and Frank from IASIP. Please pay homage to them whenever possible.

  4. No overly dark topics like sa or child abuse. I want a light tone to this place. What consistutes too dark is currently up to moderator discretion.

  5. Once this server hits 5k subs a community discussion post will be created. Ideas to build this community will be shared and discussed.
