Thanks you life long service.
Another demon gone. Another CCP operative gone.
Too damn old
😀😃😄😁😆😅😅😂 Today is a good day after all.
Age limits……
She sold this country out most of her career. Good riddance
Mitch McConnell had this say “I, eh , um………………………………………………………………………………………………………….popped my pants………………………………………………………………………………………….um”
about fucking time
Decades of hell
Hooray! 💃🕺
How many MILLIONS did she & her husband make in ILLEGAL INSIDER TRADING??? Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

May Mrs. Feinstein’s stay in hell be as peaceful as possible.
She and those who voted to keep her and those like her in their positions will forever be in torment.
Condolences to Senator Feinstein, it’s sad power was more important then living her golden years peacefully
Funny how none of you are calling out Mconnell, hypocrisy and ignorance at it’s best, but what else to expect from the GQP?
Very sad how the Democrats dragged this poor woman around in the end. Wheeling her around and forcing her to vote for things when she clearly didn’t understand what was going on. She was not mentally nor physically capableof functioning. They used her up for the votes they wanted and now it’s onto the next. She should have lived her final days in peace not used and abused and shuffled around congress.
No one lives forever, and no one takes their riches to the grave
That’s the kind of condolences 💐 I like to hear at funerals.
here children willin ehriit her power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought the day started out good for some reason. Bye bye
Good 💯💯 finally she should’ve retired 30 years ago
Will Newsom pick another Chinese spy for the job?
❤It’s fake news. She isn’t dead. She’s alive.😊
Finally she’s gone
🎉🎉🎉
A friend of a friend passed this along: Inside the CA governor’s office, they have a short list of names to appoint into Feinstein’s seat. No surprise there, but at the top of the list is Kamala Harris. Why would Harris step down from VP to become a Senator again? Well the strategy is complex. Harris becomes Cailfornia US Senator again, and the US Senate (controlled by Democrats) confirms a new VP – who is Eleni Kounalakis (the current Lt Governor of CA and former ambassador to Hungary). She is replaced by Barbara Lee (who will be guided into the Newsom’s seat as Governor). Democrats should be able to hold the Senate in the next election, and Harris becomes Majority Leader – a position more powerful than VP. Party leadership knows that Harris would not be the optimum candidate for POTUS, and they don’t want her to announce her own candidacy against Biden. So where does Newsom fit in? He becomes the front runner on the 2024 ticket against Trump and wins in a landslide.
Gods speed..Thank for all youve done to Try n keep our citizens free from Gun violence..Something these cowards cant do today….❤
Praise GOD As in a great woman. .. praying for family members.
At that age you should be retired.
There needs to be a age limit
May God accept her on his Kingdom.
Good Riddance! We need to remove more fossils from government. TERM LIMITS!!!
My Condolences To Senator Feinstein’s family members, friends and colleagues.
🙏🕊 😇 🙏
On the other matter of ageism/ term limits I think 🤔 💭 this: If there is a family history of any cognitive disability for a person holding elective or appointed office, they should have it written in their mission statement to under go complete psychiatric pannel (group of Dr’s not just one) study their complete evaluation. Not ” the Infamous:
Person,
Woman,
Man,
Camera
TV.”
from an unnamed previous president quoted from his “Test” that he passed with “flying colors “🎉 ,yeah riiiight.
So could my sons third grade class! 🤣😅🤣😅
This contemptible person is now learning who’s in charge.
. . .so she’s not running again?
When *any* actively serving politician dies at the age of 90(!), it means our system is very, very broken. Add it to the pile of obvious flaws that reflect how our government “functions”. This is a bipartisan issue. I respect her service and commitment to her state and country, but IMO, Feinstein—among others—could have exited their post with their dignity and legacy much, much sooner. Get out of the game and enjoy your private life. Previous examples: Rudy Giuliani and Ruth Bader Ginsburg—both could have retired to spend time with their families (e.g., grandchildren, etc.) and or traveled the world to exit the limelight with their legacy intact. “KNOW WHEN TO QUIT” …FFS
RIP BOZO
I guess God fired her.
Looking forward to when God fires Trump.
She’ll still be making decisions in her grave.
Condolences
Sharp minded conservatives are needed in office until retirement at 67.
No, we need many liberals ✅️
Serving the longest doesn’t make you any better.
We need age limits
🛑 this madness! There needs to be Cognitive 🧠 Testing every year 🗓️ for these Senior Citizens in our U.S. 🇺🇸 Public Offices 🗳️🏛️. It’s time for NEW Generations to take over!
I understand but hiring an international mobster is by a galactic light-year our grandest mistake EVER!
This would be the definition of madness!
Proverbs 11:10
“When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.”
My condolences to Sen.Diane Feinstein’s family. A true patriot. With that said, she should have stepped down and special elections held to replace her. She left our nation. Vunerable just to say in the Senate. No one person is an island by themselves. Noq with a government shutdown imenate her district is without a voice in the Senate. Age limits now. Health limits now. Your not healthy to perform your duties your not qualified anymore to be there.
In the end, we will all face our maker. I hope that she made the right choices in life.
💜😥🙏RIP
Not a great loss in the scope of things at the moment.
Even though I really don’t like her. It feels weird that she’s gone now because she’s been in the senate in my whole life.
❤❤❤RIP❤❤❤
Some of these comments are rude & disrespectful, imagine her family reading them. My mom taught me you never have a right to do what’s wrong
My mother taught me to never have kids
@⚛Former Pastor🚮 change your name
I am so sorry for her family. May she rest in peace and her family be comforted. Katy Advocate for Justice and Peace
She was 90 years old. What more could they ask for? It’s time to put that dinosaur down.
Finally
I’m not happy that she served until she died of old age. This is unacceptable to Americans. However, may she rest in peace.
Condolences to her family. R.I.P..🙏⚘
ONE down , 81 million to go. 👏🎉🥳
most gracious of her to move aside
Will she still be able to vote?
What a sad day for Chinese intelligence . . .
Time For Term Limits
no pearly gates for her, LUCIFER class
Great news!!!
Nice
Prayers
I wish others in Congress take note. James Clyburn, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, and of course Mitch McConnell if he pauses on the 🇺🇸 people one more time and please take the Mitt Romney route and retire.
Make sure the democrats take her of the voters list they will have her voting dead my condolences to anyone who had the misfortune of knowing her
RIP DIANE.
MAY YOUR MEMORY BE A BLESSING.🎉
I hope Nancy’s not next?😅😅😅
Does not matter who they are. If they are unfit, let alone dying, they should not hold office. Notice the silence from all officials in regard to this.
I find this to very sad indeed. However, people of this age must pass medicals and consider their viability. Put country first and self second because too long, too frail, and failing is not what the country needs.
Speaking of Anita Hill, Joe Biden was the one who pulled the plug on her testimony.
1 less lib
My condolences to the people this happen toooo late
It is sad that she passed. She should have left congress along time ago as many others that are of an elderly age.
Good riddance. One down , 81 million to go. 👏🎉🥳
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey good bye! One of the many prime examples as to why we need term limits.
I’m eating spaghetti for dinner.
Term limits are a must…this should not happen.
Were Dorothy and Toto still in the house when it fell in Feinstein?
They could have run a German Shepherd as a Democrat in CA and it would win.
And yet, still better than a republican contender…..
Soooo happy about this news. A true piece taken Waaaaaay too late!
She is beautiful lady inside and out. She is my senator since she been there. Always voted for her. Youll be remembered. Mrs. Diane Feinstine.
She is an evil politician!
Breaking the glass ceiling … Diane RIP
ALLAH ACKBAR!!! ALLAH WILL JUDGE HER TODAY ☁Heaven or Hellfire?🔥😃
You guys sure make a big deal of this senator’s death.
Whatever. We’ve been asking for term limits for decades, you ignore us.
So she died in office, whatever.
The grim reaper: staring at Mitch McConnell, knowing he’s next
Mitch McConnell: staring at nothing silently
One down , 81 million to go. Hope Mitch , Chuck and Joe are next.👏🎉
My Country Feedback USA 🇺🇲
❤ Nope. She liveth. God bless her
May she live forever.😊
She sold her constituents out for decades. she was currupt and inept.
Though our politics don’t align at all on many things I wish this woman peace in her life after. My condolences to her friends and family. Rest in peace senator 🙏
GOOD RIDDANCE
GOOD… FINALLY!!!
🎉
At least we still have nancy pelosi to let us know which stocks to buy
“If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United State for an outright ban, picking up every one of them… ‘Mr. and Mrs. America, turn em all in, I would have done it.”
“The national guard fulfills the militia mention in the 2A. Citizens no longer need to protect the states or themselves.”
“Banning guns addresses a Fundamental right of all americans to feel safe.”
*- Dianne Feinstein…*
Great day!!!
