Maybe now she'll retire?

I actually met her once back in the 90s (bojack title song begins) on vacation in DC. She let me and my family into the Senate as observers when we mentioned we were from the Bay Area, which was kinda cool.

But that was two and a half decades ago. Since then she had gone very senile, and it became evident in recent years that the only thing that’d make her relinquish her position was death. So here we are.

So: thanks for letting me sit in on the federal legislative process that one time, but holy fuck lady you should have retired a long goddamn time ago.

Don't mean this is a gouache way, but this needed to happen. It really seems like she lost her cognitive abilities a long time ago, and whomever has been keeping after her was manipulating her for their own benefit, and possibly using her as a puppet in her frailty, and it didn't seem it was going to end anytime soon.

That seat needs new blood and energy.

Diane Feinstein: literally dying of old age

Also Diane Feinstein: I’m still fit for office!

Is she keeping her seat

Is she running again?

I'm getting really sick of these "icons for women in politics" dying from age-related conditions in office.

Every year I watch ~~RGB~~ RBG retroactively destroy her own legacy by having refused to retire when she should have.

Thank fuck. She was such a fucking piece of shit to be hogging her office like that when she was clearly too old and senile. Good riddance!

I imagine Mitch McConnell isn't too far behind.

I get it, aging sucks, but it's part of the deal. You can't live forever and there is a time to move on.

Senator Feinstein never backed away from a fight

especially when it was with schoolchildren

I 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".

Imagine if she had mentored and sponsored a younger replacement in 2000 and then retired in 2010. Where would we be?

Now that Skeletor has died with no one obvious to replace her, the Judiciary Committee will probably grind to a halt when it comes to confirming judges.

I don't cheer death, but this shouldn't be allowed. At least we can move things forward from the headache her (really those around her, lets be real) refusal to resign.

Maybe now we can get someone young like a 80 year old

It's time you left ~~science~~ Congress to the 120-year olds!

What is pretty apt is that Feintstein's career would form a perfectly written metaphor in fiction.

Her career took off when a homosexual Mayor of San Francisco was shot inside of city hall many decades ago, making her the obvious replacement. She helped pass a 1994 Assault Weapons Ban which expired in 2004. She supported the invasion of Iraq. A dying breed of non-polarized politicians, she stood as merely a placeholder or cheap replacement for any real meaningful progress.

Rest in peace, I guess.

Now do that other wanker that looks like a constipated turtle.

Thank God. Rest in peace.

You just know that it crossed the minds of her enablers that they could still cling to power somehow.

People in her staff and family are to blame for her dying in office.

I wonder what 80 year old Californians are gonna vote into Senate to replace

Well, it's not the way I would have preferred she leave office, but I'll take it.
