If Dianne Feinstein is suffering from cognitive decline and is unfit to serve, then why she still a senator?​

early overlooked earlier this month because of the drawn-out vote for speaker of the House was the breaking of seven decades of precedent in the upper chamber of Congress in the election for largely ceremonial post of president pro tempore of the Senate. Largely ceremonial only up to a point, that is. The holder of that position is third-in-line in presidential succession. Every president pro tempore elected since 1949 had been the longest-serving senator from the majority party. The dean of the Senate is 89-year-old Dianne Feinstein, she has been representing California since 1992. But Patty Murray of Washington, who is a relatively spry 72, was elected president pro tempore, which ups her salary a bit and earns her a security detail.
Last spring, her hometown newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, spoke to members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as ex-Feinstein staffers, about her mental state. And all of them, anonymously, told the Chronicle that because of memory issues, Feinstein appears unable to serve as senator.

More bluntly, in my words, it looks like Feinstein can’t do her job.

She's like Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants - she can be easily manipulated because she's brain dead.

You spelled "Joe Biden" and "President" wrong.......

Because she is a democrat. There is another thread on the forum where someone is getting their panties in a wad over the newcomer Santos but doesn't care about democrats that are unfit for office. Media brainwashing at its finest.

I'm thinking the whole cognitive decline' story was the puppet masters helping Diane remember who's in charge. She was starting to stray off the reservation for a little bit back when that story came out.

Dianne Feinstein is suffering from an acute, mortifying outbreak of treason.

Prognosis: Negative.

Diagnosis: Terminal.

Liberty Physicians Mutual Recommended Treatment: Immediate termination to save the nation further suffering.

None of them are fit to serve at any age, regardless of the club to which they subscribe, but we mouthbreathing voters elect them anyway.

She has to only be 10% smarter than the dumbest person in the room to continue to look qualified.

Congress is a target rich environment with regards to those qualifications.

The "Old Guard" just won't die off!!

They don’t have to die, just retire. And this applies equally to both sides of the aisle. Why do we allow people to govern us when they are so old that, were they anyone else, we wouldn’t be comfortable letting them even manage the tv remote?

There needs to be a sunset age of forced retirement like a lot of judge positions have. Shes at a spot where if she wee just a retired granny, someone would managing her day to day affairs for her due to her cognitive decline. But the US Government will allow her to continue to drive major policy. FAIL!!

Same reason the resident is there. Well, he really isn't there but you catch my drift.

What you have to understand is siting Politicians seldom actually do anything besides give performances and schmooze donors; the real work is done by handlers, staffers, administrators, et.al. under the Banner of said Senator/Representative/President/Judge and the bigger the name, the more layers of bureaucrats one has to ply through. (unless you've got fuck-you money to throw around) to gain access.

To be fair, a drooling incoherent Dianne Feinstein makes a much better senator than she was a few decades ago.

An incompetent enemy is better than a competent one, and she has always been the enemy of everything good about America.

Is that why they keep Maxine Waters and Hank Johnson around ? To make Feinstein look smart by comparison?
