Senator Dianne Feinstein's career was filled with firsts, including first woman mayor of San Francisco and one of two of the first women elected to the U.S. Senate from California.

That's a pretty shitty icon.

She promised to serve out her term! yet another politician breaking promises. SMDH

[–] 520@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

So has she finally retired from Congress?

Because with how adamant she was at staying in her seat despite being unable to do the job, I would not be surprised if they tried to go full Weekend at Bernie's here.

The insider trader that made Democrats look bad is finally gone. It's about time.

This one anyway.

There's Nancy Pelosi, there is a managed ETF that actively matches her investments. It's ticker is NANC

[–] alienanimals@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pelosi isn't the only politician breaking the law for her own gain. Feinstein gave her husband insider tips.

Oh they are all dirty as far as i'm concerned. That's why laws preventing it never go anywhere no matter who is in charge.

The Lich is dead.

[–] BeautifulMind@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I kind of wish it was at least normative to groom your successor and bow out if you're a ground-breaking leader as you advance in age

I especially wish that was the sort of thing had been the case with (for example) RBG because let's face it, it really hurt us for her seat to go to ACB

[–] spectradawn77@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Everyone is like, she should’ve retired… But WHY!? People kept voting her in, she has all this power, all this money/control, top of the line health care, etc., etc. Who would ever leave that!? Unless you’re not a psychopath narcissist after knowing how freaking different the “1%” live?

Same thing with RBG.

Only thing that will change are the rules. And good luck with that…

[–] galil3o@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

she voluntarily spent time with the likes of Ron Johnson and Ted Cruz rather than her grandchildren, for decades..... So question is, how terrible are her grandchildren?

They're probably great considering she had nothing to do with them.
