  1. Where were you people 50 years ago..

  2. She needs to resign or she's going to die there. It's like some people at work that have been there for forty years and literally died at the job😂😂😂😂. People there's life after work 😂🤣😂🤣😂

  3. this is outrageous that we practically have to drag her out of office. she's been confused for atleast the past 2 or 3 years. what a perfect example for our entire governing body. these people think theyre kings. unbelievable. maybe get with the times and actually address younger peoples problems in this country and actually support them in government, and we wouldnt have these dinosaurs white nuckling their seats well past senilety.

  4. California should fall into the pacific.

  5. enough old people building a future they have no part of

  6. 90 year olds should not be holding any office . It's an embarrassment to the country that we have so many power grabbing geriatrics in government

  7. Age limits? We already have age min what’s wrong w age max?

  8. If she's actually not mentally competent, sure she should retire, but the amount of disrespect for the elderly displayed here is nauseating.

  9. Anyone over 75 year old should not be allow to run for any office.

  10. Good Grief- Term Limits.

  11. Why didn’t anyone on the left call for her resignation any of the times she was caught being corrupt, like in 2004 when she arranged for the USPS to illegally sell her husband six properties each valued at over a million dollars, for a dollar each?

  12. That corrupt dirty rat needs to go

  13. Give her a triple booster of a wonder drug

  14. Take pop in the pants BIden with her. Both are too old

  15. The only reason to be apprehensive about the imminent departure (one way or another) of Dianne Frankinfeinstein is, knowing how things go in the "Golden State'" is that her replacement is likely to be WORSE!

  16. I mean what else can she do? She’s old and ooogly and not talented. She’s not going to retire.

  17. Did we learn nothing from RBG ? Seriously we have the most conservative right wing supreme court …after Roe v Wade !!! Cmon !!!!

  18. The people who need to go are often the last to know.

  19. She should resign. Fetterman also. And yes Biden should be 25ed. Don't forget Raskins. The brain cell challenged gang😂

  20. Can easily point out a few more that need to go.

  21. Wow I thought she passed last year, my bad

  22. Agreed. If she can't be on the Senate floor, she can't vote on these judicial appointments. She has been a great senator and a trailblazer, but her time is over. She needs to retire. She's 89 years old. She has nothing left to prove. The only thing standing in her way is her E G O.

  23. Shame on ALL networks. Why are all the video clips of Feinstein during these stories of her TEN OR FIVE OR FIFETEEN years ago? She can barely count her toes. Fetterman as well. TERM AND AGE limits NOW! Good grief!

  24. You can’t drive any longer grandma! 😂😂😂

  25. Think political politicians after a years should have term limits. Some people live in these careers way to long

  26. It’s way past time that she leave her post.

  27. Joe Biden should be next he is no better off than Feinstein

  28. feinstein's own staff told her they made the decision to announce retirement. big surprise to feinstein. ha, ha, ha.

  29. eh and biden, feterman? pelosi, are like "fit" ? demonrats unite fall in behind those lemmings.

  30. She should she’s a 90 yo rich white woman but I guess since she’s a democrat. It doesn’t matter how rich you are

  31. In the time of maga republicans causing trouble I feel moderates and democrats need to discuss behind closed doors, not publicly, with women's rights under attack, maga republicans like MTG, wasting time, we need moderate republicans and democrats meeting to make a real difference, we have republicans wasting time over what people call themselves who cares, dems need to learn from older ones and the younger ones need to learn patience, for the country if not for themselves. On a side note who cares if someone wants to be known as he, she, they, for all anyone knows it could just be a fad.

  32. Is Her Chinese spy still driving her around?

  33. Why is this right? She's just 9 years older than Biden. If any suggest that Biden is senile or slow. The media would crucify that person. What's the difference? Feinstein's replacement can be picked by the governor ( newsom). And Joe's replacement would be Kamala. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  34. She is greedy, and a real woman. I bet she is straight. Maby if she changes her gender and gets a boyfriend she could stay

  35. She’s not recovering from shingles. Her staff have covering for her and doing her work for AT LEAST the last 5 years! She’s been declining for a long time.

  36. Maybe they should ask the same of JB

  37. All of the democrats should resign !

  38. They want her to retire? What about fetterman. A true daily double.

  39. Her brain resigned years ago.

  40. A DEMOC-RAT WILL HOLD ONTO THEIR PRECIOUS POWER UNTIL THEY CLOSE THE COFFIN LID AND DROP IT IN THE GROUND. FACT CHECKED!!

  41. She is still in better shape than fetterman and equal to biden.. Sooooo

  42. That ole bat should have gotten the boot a long time ago

  43. please step down don’t waste our tax money, u too old can’t smart anymore.and tell your Democrats big guy Joe too.

  44. Amazing that it took democrats this long to be accountable !!
    If she was a republican the democrats would have been saying she’s mentally unfit
