Hypocrisy is more native to Washington D.C. than bad weather and worse traffic. Still the turnaround on Sen. Dianne Feinstein is one for the books. Within 24 hours, Democrats and their media had to go from calling Feinstein a senile old lady who needed to be forced out of office to hailing her groundbreaking legacy. The same media outlets harping on the power of attorney granted to her daughter now write movingly about her legacy.
Sen. Feinstein’s convenient death allowed the media to switch from lambasting her to safely burying her while grabbing her seat. And that’s what it was all about. Power and money. Alive, she was an impediment. Dead, she can be added to the hall of feminist heroines.
But even before Sen. Feinstein underwent a fairly obvious decline, the media had been taking potshots at her. Feinstein had lived long enough and spent long enough in office to go from being the heroine to becoming the villain. Her formerly liberal politics were no longer radical enough especially by the standards of a one-party state in thrall to the farthest extremes of the Left.
In one of Feinstein’s glorious moments, she responds to the Sunrise Movement exploiting kids by telling the child soldiers exactly why she doesn’t support the Green New Deal.
That was a turning point at which the media began gunning for her. But now that she’s dead, she’s been redeemed.
Like the old Soviet joke about posthumous rehabilitation, Sen. Feinstein has been rehabilitated and is once again a progressive heroine in death.

Never speak ill of the dead. I learned that lesson the hard way 🙂

How so? I’m curious.

Well, for example, a certain person X died, who I always defended while X was alive, while person Y was very critical of X while X was alive. So I ventured a mild criticism of X to Y, after X died, as I was hoping to get back on the good side of Y. To my surprise, Y got very upset at me for criticizing X. X’s death had completely switched Y’s view of X, from negative, to remembering all the good X had done for him.

Like Jim Morrison said, people are strange.
I’ve got used to it over the years but human behavior can be quite bizarre.

The Dirtbagocrats. They’ll nibble at any corpse for self gain, even their own. Utter scum.

I saw that encounter between Fiendstien and those Greta Thunbergs on TV. As always with woke scum, they interrupted her constantly and only had slogans to rely on.
I truly hate most youth in this country. Most of them need some truth bitch slapped into them.

Me and every normal person, you asswipe.
Global climate warming change is a hoax.
And you nibble turd nuggets from hairy asses.
