quote:

When a California Democrat in Congress recently engaged in an extended conversation with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, they prepared for a rigorous policy discussion like those they’d had with her many times over the last 15 years.

Instead, the lawmaker said, they had to reintroduce themselves to Feinstein multiple times during an interaction that lasted several hours.

Rather than delve into policy, Feinstein, 88, repeated the same small-talk questions, like asking the lawmaker what mattered to voters in their district, they said, with no apparent recognition the two had already had a similar conversation.

The episode was so unnerving that the lawmaker — who spoke to The Chronicle on condition they not be identified because of the sensitivity of the topic — began raising concerns with colleagues to see if some kind of intervention to persuade Feinstein to retire was possible. Feinstein’s term runs through the end of 2024. The conversation occurred several weeks before the death of her husband in February.

“I have worked with her for a long time and long enough to know what she was like just a few years ago: always in command, always in charge, on top of the details, basically couldn’t resist a conversation where she was driving some bill or some idea. All of that is gone,” the lawmaker said. “She was an intellectual and political force not that long ago, and that’s why my encounter with her was so jarring. Because there was just no trace of that.”

the best part is where they say it’s super unfair to Feinstein because of all the senile and incompetent men they’ve also kept around in the legislature for way too long

despite Biden’s efforts to the contrary, debts can still be discharged in bankruptcy

student loans is in the same category as court ordered fines as stuff you can’t discharge. (you can in theory, but really you can’t)

my understanding is that they garnish your wages for student loan debt

because if you don't pay your mortgage they can take your house, or if you dont pay your car note they can repo your car

but if you don't pay your students loan they cant slice into your brain and extract the 4 years of knowledge you learned to get your sociology degree....not yet anyway

you can garnish wages with a court order for any debt. also, handing over a car or house does not necessarily clear you of the debt, that is state by state (called “recourse”)

I feel like if there are annual "Yo this person's senile" articles about you, it's probably because they're jealous of you

honestly what does a replacement for Feinstein do that Feinstein isn’t still capable of doing herself? all those policy decisions are already made by her big donors and lobbyists so it’s not like she’s dropping the ball on anything as far as votes go


judging by the age of the senate, our oligarchs would obviously prefer a bunch of mushheads in office
