Senator Dianne Feinstein's career was filled with firsts, including first woman mayor of San Francisco and one of two of the first women elected to the U.S. Senate from California.

Sorry, to be callous, but good riddance. You should hear what Jello Biafra has to say about the time Feinstein was Mayor of San Francisco:

Jello Biafra: Quentin Kopp was actually very jovial, friendly, kind of a character. He and Feinstein had been on the Board Of Supervisors, but when George Moscone and Harvey Milk were assassinated Feinstein was appointed as Acting Mayor. She ran the city with an iron fist, and the police were completely out of control, which she seemed to get off on. I have never been very fond of her, and any grief I can cause that creature, I’m happy to oblige. But that wasn’t why I ran for Mayor. It was more like: wouldn’t this be a great prank?

Jello Biafra: I had some pretty interesting proposals. Making businessmen wear clown suits was the one the media seized on, but there was a lot more to it than they realised. It was my response to Frankenfeinstein [Feinstein] saying she was going to “clean up” Market Street, by which she meant throwing the homeless out of all the vacant buildings.

In another occasion, he called her the most evil person he'd ever met.

Here's a video of her arguing with children about climate change: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu-VzZ45MwI

Governments across the world need to effectively age down. It's ridiculous that those old clowns who aren't even affected by the consequences of their actions can just continue to do this shit. Yeah, they get voted in, but that's because of the aging populations of so many countries being such a majority while most of those who are going to be affected don't even have a legal say in the matter, since they can't vote themselves. Millennials got already fucked over repeatedly through politics in the past decades and now Gen Z has to face the same bullshit. People will just further radicalize if they don't address this.

God what a cunt. Who argues with children? Just lie to them like every other politician.

Remember that time she gave away a vital clues in the Richard Ramirez case and possibly extended his serial killing career?

I literally came back to this thread to post Jello's take!

I can't remember which spoken word album he talks about his mayoral campaign on, but it is so much fun.

Thank you. I'm going to have to dig up a copy. I haven't heard any of his spoken word albums in literally decades. Still listen to DK all the time though.

I relistened a few years back. Its good though very dated as "Grow more pot" isn't something CA needs to be told.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm guessing "Die for Oil, Sucker" is somewhat dated now too, but I remember it being pretty good.
