Diane Feinstein needs to resign.

[brycejones]

The last time I heard him speak he sounded like someone putting random words together.

There are many examples. And see the image above.

Dude you voted for Trump twice. Don’t pretend the ability to string together words is important to you.

 

[fskimospy]

Just a few quotes from you:

"She isn't right in the head"

"A physically infirm, and possibly mentally incompetent person, should not be in the Senate."

"It isn't in the interest of the American public."

So you agree that she should be removed from office for the sake of putting the Country above Party, Right?

IF the Democrats were putting Country Before Party then Feinstein and Fetterman would both be removed from office in a nice way as neither are capable of doing the job required of them.

But instead you want to blame it on the GOP.

So to be clear you’re saying they should be expelled from the Senate? That’s quite a statement.

It is also pretty absurd to say that the Democrats should put the country first and remove their members when the opposition is very clearly both stating and acting that they will not put the country first in the case of a vacancy.

This is unfortunately a very common thing from conservatives, that Republicans have no agency or responsibility to the country and therefore it’s always up to the Democrats to be the adults in the room.

Republicans have in effect stated that if Feinstein cannot serve then no more judges will be confirmed for the remainder of Biden’s term. Is it responsible to the country to go along with that? I would say no.

If he was born mute would he be unfit to serve? What about deaf or blind? Or became a paraplegic in an accident?

As stated he doesn't have cognitive issue he has a communication issue.

At this point the Dems have every right to support her staying in the senate, because the Republican party wants to become judicial terrorists and prevent the work of democracy by halting all judicial nominees. So fuck those shitty horrific people. I hope Feinstein lives forever until we can purge America from the cancer that is the Republican party.

Medically retired from the Senate... Yes.

So it's OK to keep incapable people in office, just because they are automatic yes votes for the Democrats.

 

[pcgeek11]

As stated he doesn't have cognitive issue he has a communication issue.

Possibly. It depends.

I believe he does have a cognitive issue. A senator needs to be able to understand and express their thoughts in a clear and concise manner. I don't think he is capable of either. I don't understand how he was ever elected.

Diane Feinstein is obviously incapable as she thinks she wasn't out for months for medical reasons. There are also many Dems that think she should step down also.

 

[MrSquished]

these are extraordinary times. Your party is so corrupt and anti-democratic, that yes, this is the only option.

 

[MrSquished]

Possibly. It depends.

so you are going to discriminate against cognitively capable people because of a different disability. And because in this case, it backs your POV to get rid of a liberal out of the senate.

fascinating. you are what we know you are.

 

[fskimospy]

Medically retired from the Senate... Yes.

Medically retired isn’t a thing. You would need to expel them, something that has never been done for medical infirmity in the history of the United States. Is it your position that we should break precedent and expel not just one, but two duly elected senators for medical reasons? Are there any Republicans you would like to expel?

Again, you are acting like only Democrats have agency. They tried to replace her on her committees and Republicans refused to permit it. Is it your position that America is better served by having no one in these committee seats, rendering the committees unable to function, than to have Feinstein there?

 

[Indus]

True colors coming out...

You know any Russkie lovers or Russkie agent lovers?

I'd love to show my true colors to them!

 

[K1052]

Possibly. It depends.

yeesh

 

[fskimospy]

Possibly. It depends.

This is not a complicated question. The answer to if someone should be deemed unfit to serve because they are deaf or blind is and always should be an emphatic NO.

 

[MrSquished]

yeesh

if we were talking about a physically handicapped Republican, we all know his answer would be different.

Cognitively capable people?

That is the point we know Diane isn't (and many Dems agree) and I don't believe Fetterman is either.

you literally said it could be ok to kick out someone with physical handicaps like being deaf or blind. do you not even know what you say?

uhhh doctors, not just some random shitty republican like yourself online, know that Fetterman has speech issues from his stroke, but not cognitive ones. this is a very normal diagnosis after a stroke.

you just don't care because it would mean kicking out a D senator. because that is the kind of person you are.

I would be all for Diane resigning, if it wasn't for your horrific corrupt white nationalist fascist party in charge though who would then grind the gears of government to a halt, just like how they STOLE an SC justice from Obama. but you like that, because you have no character.

 

[MrSquished]

it's good to have PCGeek on here so we can constantly be reminded that fascists are completely not self-aware.

Did you ever call for Strom Thurmond to be expelled?

 

[pcgeek11]

You don't know anything of the sort.

I'm not even discussing a physical handicapped.
We are discussing mentally impaired.

If you think Diane Feinstein is capable when she don't even know where she was for months then I don't know what to say.

I've said my thoughts on it.

 

[pcgeek11]

Did you ever call for Strom Thurmond to be expelled?

I did think he shouldn't have been in office. We need age limits, but we know that will never happen.

 

[fskimospy]

I did think he shouldn't have been in office. We need age limits, but we know that will never happen.

That’s a different thing. Should Republicans have expelled Strom Thurmond and handed control of the Senate to Democrats?

Also, should Democrats ignore clear Republican statements that they will not allow Feinstein’s committees to function if she leaves? Wouldn’t it be irresponsible to do that?

 

[HomerJS]

Medically retired from the Senate... Yes.

So it's OK to keep incapable people in office, just because they are automatic yes votes for the Democrats.

Tell that to Strom Thurmond.

 

[fskimospy]

Tell that to Strom Thurmond.

It’s a silly argument from the start. Democrats should not voluntarily cede massive amounts of power and the ability to staff the judicial branch because Feinstein is old and frail.

It’s also funny to complain that Democrats are not putting country first by expelling her when Republicans are publicly stating they won’t put country first if she departs. Are the democrats just supposed to play stupid?

Any one in the Senate or Congress (regardless of their party affiliation) that is found incapable of doing their job should be removed from office and replaced either by appointment or special election.

Compare Senator Grassley (89 Years) to Senator Feinstein (89 Years). There is a huge difference in cognitive abilities. I think both should have retired long ago.

so yes or no, should strom thurmond have been kicked out of the senate giving the dems control? we know you would have supported that then right?
