Dianne Feinstein dies at 90

I hope she's remembered for not retiring when she should have (she shouldn't have run for this last term, and honestly probably the term before that) and derailing judicial appointments. She should be remembered as a failure and a cautionary tale. I hope she inspires other old politicians to think about whether their legacies will be tarnished as well.

Trump Promises to Present an ‘Irrefutable REPORT’ Within the Next Week That Will Exonerate Him and Prove 2020 Georgia Vote Was ‘Rigged’ [UPDATED]

This is just a play to get his rubes to give him more money. Doesn't matter what he says or shows, lots of morons will go e him cash that he'll funnel right into his lawyers pockets. Like so many other things, this is a play for cash and time. Keep giving red meat to the base and they'll keep lining his pockets

'Apparently I’m an idiot’: Three-time Trump voter in Pennsylvania sounds off on Iran war

When I see people make statements like this, I tend to disregard what they're saying. If you aren't taking concrete actions to help then your words aren't worth a damn. People can change, sure, but words are not enough.

I doubt she actually recognizes the error of her ways and starts helping affected communities. But if she does, there is a path to redemption that way.

Until then, yes, you're an idiot. Show us you can be something more than that, if you can.

Why do you say that? I know she accomplished a lot, but I'm tired of retroactively heaping praise on people when we can often learn from their failings. We can acknowledge what she did while still using her failings to hopefully learn a lesson.

How much do you blame the people who voted for Trump or other fascists?

Everyone had a least 9 years to figure out who Trump is. I'd be more lenient if it was a matter of months. But it was almost a decade since he first ran.

I know there are a lot of factors working against people (capitalism, propaganda, groupthink) but after all that time, I think they should own their decision.

So yes, I blame them. The man talked about injecting bleach for chist's sakes. And that was all over the news while many people were home and could pay attention if they wanted to.

Really?

The ones holding up the process aren't really siding with Democrats, they're just against theit own party's nominees for various reasons. It's an important distinction.

It may not be your intention, but this comment feels like it's blaming Democrats for not going along when Republicans have the majority and keep failing to put someone up that they can all agree on. Several Republicans have been pushing the narrative that Democrats are to blame for their own party's disfunction.
