              Fuck that. The lesson isn’t being learned.

              If you are so fortunate as to exceed the median life expectancy, it is time for you to step aside and leave the important decisions to those who still have a future.

                That is the dumbest logic ever. Everyone has a family that should be able to mourn that has absolutely nothing to do with their career choices. No one related to anyone ever has a choice about what career people chose. A funeral is not only about the person. It’s about the family and friends around them.

                You are stupid. Stop trying to justify it and sound smart. You don’t. You sound selfish and short sighted and not worth listening to about anything political or otherwise because you are too inept to realize the consequences in a grander scale.

        Oh. He’s out of line. This should be a “come into my office on Monday so we can discuss the thing I saw on the internet and your future at this company” conversation that will haunt him over and over.

          “come into my office on Monday so we can discuss the thing I saw on the internet and your future at this company”

          LOL. And then the employee reacts how, exactly? “Oh noes, I hope you don’t fire me, I’d hate working for more money at a company not run by someone so oversensitive”

          I’m not arguing that you shouldn’t speak I’ll of the dead or any of that nonsense, hell I was talking shit about her on the day the announced her death, you’re welcome to check my comment history. But there’s a difference between that and protesting at their funeral.

          Shes got family and friends who are grieving - and while she may have been a terrible person (and certainly was, in my view) her family isn’t necessarily, and they deserve their time to grieve as much as any of the rest of us.

          I’m not advocating for rewriting her history, either the shitty things she did in her career or the “weekend at Feinstein’s” shit that had been going on for the last decade, but a funeral just isn’t the time and the place to point out what a shitty person she was. A funeral isn’t for the dead, it’s for the living who are mourning them - and they don’t necessarily deserve to be punished for her actions.

            She is a politician. Sorry, but grieve in private then, she chose for her death to be a political act and so made her funeral a part of those politics.

            Thats not this guys fault. That was her decision.

        Protesting funerals is specifically legal, shitty but legal. I’m personally fine with it as long as they’re not actively heckling funeral goers.

    She’ll always have the legacy that she was too mentally incompetent to know when it’s time to retire and let the next generation take over. Worked herself to death and for what exactly

        It’s like to know what Ruth Baker Ginsberg did wrong except die early. She was sharp up to her very last day.

        Don’t paint all old people with the same ignorant brush. Try and grow some empathy while you can still use it.

          She was 87. Yeah, she was sharp as a tack, no doubt. But 87 isn’t dying early. It sure isn’t dying early when you account for the fact that she was diagnosed with colon cancer back in 99, pancreatic cancer in 09, and had surgery in 2014 because of the cancer.

          This has nothing to do with empathy or painting old people with any brush. This has to do with the health of the nation. She could have retired during the Obama years when she was already well past the average age of death and her body was failing to enjoy a few years of retirement.

          I didn’t say everyone over 65 needs to be pushed out to sea on an ice floe. If you’re feeling like any of my words are an attack on old people maybe examine why. Because it’s showing more about you than about me.

          Sharp as a rusty spoon, you mean? Staying on knowing that by doing so she was handing her seat to conservatives, ruining her reputation by allowing them to shit on every career accomplishment she had?

          Real sharp. Friends like her, who needs enemies?

        It’s almost as if one side plays unfairly to the status quo and has more power, and the other side has to actively fight for and defend progress and doesn’t want to take steps backward.

        So you would abandon your morals if asked to give up power to prevent that power being used against your accomplishments?

    While she was a horrible ending, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was even worse. Rbgs lifetime of work was eviscerated because she was too selfish to step aside when her time was due.

    These people are the epitome of ‘you can die a hero or live long enough to become a villain’.

      Yeah, at least Feinstein was always guaranteed a Democrat replacement. RBG stayed even after it was known it would be a guaranteed conservative replacement.

      Remember when Merritt Garland was supposed to be a Supreme Court justice?

      Even if RBG retired under Obama, McConnell would have done the same shit with her replacement.

      Now she didn’t know that, but it doesn’t mean we would have a better court if she had retired sooner.

          A more apt comparison would be Stephen Milligan. Though again, their politics don’t align, he also stayed in office till death.
