For an Ailing Feinstein, a Fight Over the Family Fortune

As Dianne Feinstein, 90, struggles to function in the Senate, a dispute within her family over control of her late husband’s estate is another difficult chapter at the end of a long career.

    In another disagreement, the two factions are at odds over access to the proceeds of Mr. Blum’s life insurance, which Senator Feinstein says she needs to pay for her growing medical expenses.

    BRO YOU'RE WORTH HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS

        Consider all the blood cattle she needs to keep alive in her basement to retain her vibrant state.

        Last time I checked adrenochrome isn’t covered by insurance, and it’s the only thing keeping diane alive right now.

        Is she staying in office just for the amazing healthcare plan? Now THAT I would support, but only if she openly admitted it.

      she's completely senile in all other aspects, but when it comes to lying to attempt to hide your utter contempt for them from your children, she's still there

      Maybe it's brainwormed of me but I regularly think about how at this stage I'd rather live in a blatant Autocracy/Feudal system rather than have all this fart sniffing pretense about tHe SaNcTiTy Of DeMoCrAcY. Sick of being pissed on and told it's raining.

      Obviously I'd much rather a dictatorship of the proletariat to any of this shit but still lmao

        I kinda get the feeling. Like I'd prefer someone stabbing me in the gut with a scowl on their face than someone who smiles and stabs me in the back.

          Supposedly this was Clarence Thomas's ratonale.

        The only difference between our current system and mask-off feudalism/monarchy is that right now most people are brainwashed into believing they live in a democracy. So honestly it would only be a good thing

    Here's a simple proposal. Maybe not having a POA authorization should be a prerequisite for holding political office. If you need someone else to make your legal, financial, and/or medical decisions for you, then you are not equipped to make these sorts of decisions for millions of other people.

    Can her daughter give her power of attorney to someone else without Feinstein's approval? How much $$$$ do you think it would take? I'm contacting Mr. Beast for an epic prank.
