    This is priceless, and well executed. They really needed to get Diane
    Feinstein in there too; she's practically a corpse at 90 years old.

    Died in the saddle. I suppose the rest of our geriatric government intends to do the same.

    Two Points:

    1. There were Democrats who requested that she step down (leave), but
    we don't see this in that other "party."

    2. She didn't hold on to "power"

    "Amid the concerns about her health, Feinstein stepped down as the top
    Democrat on the Judiciary panel after the 2020 elections, just as her
    party was about to take the majority. In 2023, she said she would not
    serve as the Senate president pro tempore, or the most senior member
    of the majority party, even though she was in line to do so. The
    president pro tempore opens the Senate every day and holds other
    ceremonial duties."

    "Speaker Emerita Pelosi notes that Senator Feinstein "voted on the
    last day" of her life."
