Though the Senate runs on a lot of staff work, the former staffers for Feinstein described an environment in which it was challenging to get things done due to her frequent inability to recall previous conversations or follow complicated discussions.
One former staffer said they would have conversations about sending a letter out, and the next day Feinstein would not remember the conversation.
In one instance, the former staffer recalled, they wanted Feinstein to sign off on something that would have advanced an important investigation. But Feinstein repeatedly said she could not understand why the investigative step was necessary, an explanation the staffer said they felt was a result of Feinstein not being able to follow the thread of the investigation.
"It's really hard to have a micromanager who is not fully remembering everything that we've talked about," the staffer said. "My biggest concern is that it's a real disservice to the people of California."
The lawmaker who had the hours-long interaction with Feinstein referenced a classic fable in which people are afraid to speak the truth to a powerful leader: "We've got an 'Emperor's New Clothes' problem here."
Several people were alarmed by Feinstein’s performance at the memorial service last June for former Port of San Francisco Commissioner Anne Halsted, the first woman to serve on the city’s Port Commission, whom the senator had known for decades.
Feinstein didn’t mention Halsted in her initial remarks, but offered generic comments about San Francisco and gave shout-outs to people in the audience, including Pelosi, whom Feinstein described as “the Democratic leader in the United States Senate.” Moments later, Feinstein backtracked, joking to Pelosi, “Nancy, I promoted you to the Senate,” in a moment captured on video footage obtained by The Chronicle. The audience laughed.
Some were uncomfortable with what they saw. After Feinstein sat down, “and it was clear that she hadn’t said anything about Anne, there was a ripple through the crowd,” said one person in the audience who has known Feinstein for decades and was granted anonymity to be able to speak freely about the incident because they continue to work with Bay Area officials.
Feinstein later returned to the podium and spoke about Halsted, and said she was told by her staff that she needed to speak again. She spoke about Halsted in present tense, according to another video provided to The Chronicle.
“It was quite disconcerting,” said the person who attended the event. “It’s clear that she’s really over the line.”
That's a good one too. Also - she hasn't given a town hall meeting since 2017 and the damning New Yorker article came out in December, 2020. The dems have surely known for many years that her brain was turning into crab bisque.
I guess the dems are leaking to the media in hopes she'll announce her early retirement. But what happens if she's at the point of her dementia where she'll only do what she wants? Here we are right before an election. Great job democrats!
Maybe this is the most effective path to communism in :amerikkka: we just need to become staffers to senile ghouls and wait for their brains to completely turn into pudding, then make sure the libs who believe in that shit can't stop us from doing some good

My favorite part was earlier:

I'd die of laughter if she did and she said "How y'all doin'?"
:so-true: Ruthkanda forever
I mean, she didn't get the CA Dems' endorsement in the 2016 race. They knew even back then.
Coastal brunch libs still voted for her though.
I think it's an open secret that many of the senior dem officials are senile and unfit to serve.
Leaking to the media like Feinstein is actually reading papers or internalizing the information she’s hearing from the tv

Honestly, having their brains turn to goo and overseeing the crumbling American empire is exactly what the boomers deserve.

This never stopped Regan’s administration. Just fucking forge her signature or weekend at Bernie’s her corpse you cowards.
Do her staffers not realize that they are the Senator from California now?
Libs are congenitally incapable of wielding power, so probably not.

If she complains that someone forged her signature just gaslight and say she signed it yesterday, doesn't she remember?
Yes.
No, they have lanyards.
