DiFi Dead at 90

I hope nobody on her current staff can ever be employed in government again.

 

Ah well nevertheless

 

Age limits in congress anyone?

 

Who does Newsom appoint? Schiff? Porter? Some mega donor?

 

Ya I'm sure she did some great things but it's really easy to tarnish your own legacy by grasping to power way longer than you should've, like Tobias' girl RBG

 

Hopefully not Schiff

 

Never forget:

 

she's looked like a corpse for at least six years

 

He said before that he won’t appoint anyone who will run for her seat. He wants to appoint an interim that won’t have an incumbency advantage in the special election.

 

Holy shit

 

sad that I felt a bit happy to hear this… ?

 

Also...

 

Has anyone asked Mitch McConnell’s reaction to the news?

 

I spliff'd spliff

 

“i’m next huh”

 

Who?

 

Damn. A month too soon. You could’ve sat a bowl of candy on her lap on Halloween and scared the shit out of kids when she moved.

 

Please no GIFs in a thread of mourning.

 

missed the opportunity to spell it DieFi

 

Makes Pelosi look pretty foolish for saying people calling for her to step down were sexist. No we just don't want people with dementia running the country

 

I think he's said he won't appoint anyone running?

 

Republican voters clearly disagree.

 

Wonder if he’ll appoint somebody running in the primary. Has he made any statements about it?

 

My sources tell me he said he wouldn’t do that.

 

Would appointing a sitting representative result in a special election?

With thin house margins, that may be a non starter anyway since that member couldn’t be replaced right away.

 

Just appoint ChatGPT and ask it what should be done.

 

She picked an incredible weekend to die

 

Gotta wonder if she and her staff will consider stepping down from the Senate now that she’s dead.

 

Will certainly be tough to replace the productivity of this 90 year old. Will be hard to find somebody who is as in-touch with the needs of the average person in 2023 as this person born during the early part of the Great Depression

 

Seems suspicious a 90 year old would just die like that.

 

Gotta be the jab.

God was like “Enough!”

 

lord we have a list

 

Sad she won't get to see the big NC State/Louisville game tonight

 

Insane we have a whole ass US Senator just staying in a position of power until they literally die. It'll never happen bc it would require some of the old fucks to vote for ousting themselves but all offices should require one to be under 70 to take office.

 

I know having her hold the seat was preposterous but the alternative (a complete stop to confirming non-Nazi judges) was worse. It's terrifying to think of Trump winning next year and having a barren federal bench to fill, a ton of senior military posts waiting for facist confirmations, and a 70 year old diabetic SCOTUS justice.

 

If she had just not run for re-election any time in the last 25 years, it wouldn’t have been an issue.
