We really do live in a gerontocracy. This needs to end. We need people who have the cognitive ability to do these jobs! You're not seeing that here, you didn't see it yesterday when Mitch McConnell had a stroke on live TV, and you're DEFINITELY not seeing it in the White House!
She has no clue what she voted for
Exactly…again this is really turning into the Cryptkeeper😮
A disgrace they are using this old person
How dare they... This is elder abuse
She refused to step down.
First McConnell, now this....we have got to get term limits now. Its ridiculous
No... first Joe then McConnell, now her
@@tc000search for videos of her a few months ago, she was literally absent for months
Oh my I been pushing for this for 20 years every public office should be a two term Max we gotta demand this!!!! Is there anybody out there who can educate the public on how to pressure Congress to get this done
You should’ve put that in the comments box while you were there Jan 6th. 😂
@@Brotha00😂😂😂
I’ve got an idea, let’s start voting for people younger than life expectancy.
life expenctancy has moved up to 80 years old LOL stilll not young enough LOL 65 should be the cutoff...literally
These people aren’t voted in
Makes sense, 'til you consider Fedderman.
@@jdcablelife expectancy dropped in the US to 76.1 last year
Nope, Trump is brilliant and more like 25 than 77! It's about mental and physical health not a number!
Diane thought she was filibustering the Defense Appropriations Bill. Although I have a sense she didn't even know what bill she was voting for.
Truth be told, Mitch's mini stroke was by far the scariest video. Did you see his eyes. He didn't know where he was. He went in the wrong direction. tRUMP def has brain damage. Isn't it amazing that all the lies he told on Hillary Rodman Clinton are his truths.
Her vote shouldn't count.
It wasn't her vote it WAS HIS.
Your bias is showing.
It most certainly should count, as "not present"
and MCCONNELL just stares into space because...? roflmao...
@@jdcable
Absence seizure.
We need term limits this is fricking ridiculous! These people won’t step down and will hang on to power with their cold dead hands! It’s disgusting and shame on them!
Term limits! She may not be completely out of it, but it’s alarming when staffers are putting words into the mouths of elected officials. Regardless of her obvious support of that bill. We didn’t vote for those people to even speak there. Honestly they should be sitting on a bench outside
When another person tells you what to say and you say it, you ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF IT.
Term limits are the single most important words right now, but those rats are never going to vote to limit their own power.
I don’t know. Would term limits actually do anything, or just a rotating door of corrupt politicians? I don’t think the problem is that specific politicians are bad, but that our system itself is bad.
@@lindastone4927 ... You mean like how Forbes influences simple minded people like you. Ask them to play a recording of someone telling her that.
Why do you think Bidens up there? Don't forget he was Senator for around 45 years. Vice President for 8. And he's now serving 4 terms and running for another
WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK!
We have leaders that are older than television. Why is this allowed?
She was born 6 years after the invention of television.
@@alexthompson9516That’s suppose to be a good thing?? 😂
@@steve6473 Not good or bad
We did not elect staffers! Null her vote!
As if there any individuals left in the Dem party.
Corruption at its finest, the Democrats way!!
Wow! Just wow! Term limit are needed!!!!!!
If other people have to tell her what to say it's time for her to GO!
SHE HAS HAD A GREAT RUN GIVE SOMEBODY ELSE A CHANCE😊
She was once a much younger person and probably replaced somebody old, so just calling out individual old politicians doesn't work. . .we need term limits
Over 50 years in politics --- never having a "real" job --- they caught the Golden Ring. They all leave very RICH for doing nothing.

Yep. That would be a nothing vote. Vote doesn't count
I wouldn’t say a “great” run that’d be too generous if we’re taking about her senatorship.
Get her out if she is incompetent! Who are the special interests propping these puppets up?
Another member of the gerontocracy is biting the dust...
At least have a capacity test for older politicians.
How about the same test for ALL politicians?
No, because they would "rig" it.
Wow, how crooked is this. There should be an age limit ( if visibility unfit)to politicians because they become puppets for their party. 🤬
We need term limits!
Wonder what term limits they will come up with?No more than 15 terms,not older than 105 years?
This is what they want. They want the politicians to shut up and do as they are told by those that stand behind them. She needs to step down.
and our country (and world) are paying the price.
Read a comment by a former lobbyist who stated the congress people have no clue what they are voting on. He walk into meet them and it was the young interns and such who are fresh out of college making the decisions. Once you think about that government decisions make a lot of sense. They know nothing of the real world but think their theories must be put into place.
Wow, just wow. Warm body no mental capacity. This should be illegal.😮
Ding dong the witch is dead the wicked witch is dead
DAMN!!! AGE LIMITS AND TERM LIMITS NOW!
See this is exactly what they do with Biden.
They ram the ramparts ... oh wait, that was Trump, never mind.

@@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059 👌
Feinstein, McConnell, Pelosi, Boehner, Biden....the list goes on and on!
I only had to put first initials of each last name and my phone knew what I wanted! 😂 WE NEED TERM LIMITS!! They're all probably going to drop at the same time!!

Chuck Grassley….
Remember when Biden had an Executive Order put in front of him and said he did not know what he was signing? Signed it anyway.

Tbh I don't remember that! Link please
No I don't remember
He did that with everything he signed..
He never realy knows what hes signing lol
You mean that only happened once?
Prime example of why term limits are needed in our presidential elections and congress.
No not term limits. Maximum age limits is the better solution.
we do have term limits for presidential elections. And it's never going to happen in congress. Maybe, let's just not vote for such old candidates.
@@elischrag8436 Agreed
We need term limits and we also need to stop hiring old people from nursing homes.
Do you really believe she makes her own choices. She listens to other on how to vote. She can't freely think for herself. This country has become a disgrace because of the swamp.
She sounded perfectly lucid and aware of what she was voting on and how she wanted to vote. She may have been trying to convince colleagues to vote the same way. OR to convince skeptical (leftist) critics that this vote was correct.
@@terry9238 liar.
@@terry9238You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. It wasn't time for any speech, they had already done all that. It was time to vote. Yay or nay. Clearly, Feinstein was confused about that and started talking, to which her handlers had to tell her what to do and say. You seem as confused as she is.
Yea her and McConnell need to resign ASAP.
No doubt you said the same re Mitch!
And now she’s dead
The dinosaurs enrich themselves while stabbing the American people in the back.
Those people are set for life by now. If they’re still working it’s because they believe in what they’re doing.
@@terry9238 they’re too old to believe in anything. They’re used to lying cheating and stealing.
No charges, really? How is this acceptable, America? Do you see not see this as a violation of your right to representation? Wake up!
Age limits and term limits. I realize that some are sharp to 100 or more, but IMO it’s time to pass the torch to the next gen and 80 should be enough. 3 terms for House (6 years) and 2 terms for Senate (12 years). Let’s get back to a citizen legislature. AND NO ONE MOVES ON TO JOBS WITH GOVT CONTRACTORS!!!
@@Goofyguy4everI agree 10 or 20 year terms
We need age limits. She's well beyond retirement

For the Supreme court too, right?
We need more fossils in office
T-Rex 2024!
Who else is celebrating?🎉

Hey Calf vote for someone who will help your state and not steal your Tax money!
No offense to all seniors but when you have political leaders including Biden who don't even know where they are at and are totally confused or don't know what they are doing, prime example Biden confused Ukraine actor with Putin that's of a grave concern.There should be some type of retirement age or term limit on executive branch members of Congress and the Senate just like all other employees do retire at certain age.
God,help us all not to happen but how is he as the commander in chief of all US armed forces is going to handle a serious conventional war theater that might require his final part to enter the number/red button ? He might be confused again and enter a wrong code or press a wrong button 🤧😂
Modern medicine has become so advanced that 90 year olds are still kicking it in Congress, dementia and all
You might want to file a lawsuit on that med, it doesn't work.
Yet a lot of people in the general population drop before hitting 70.

Please pass a bill for cognitive ability for elected officials. This is so crazy wrong.
She wanted to make a speech and they wouldn't let her lol. They're like, 'Let's just get this over with.'
Yes I think this is the correct assessment, among the sea of insane comments here.
Yeah, she has another solid 10 years to go. This is just a counter attempt for the Mitch freeze, the timing is too much of a coincidence.
@@mystic95 She's not running for reelection. This is her final term in office. As for Mitch, who knows? We'll all just watch it play out for the old boy.
@@mystic95 Meanwhile her daughter has just been giving POA over her.
Yeah . . . I don't really get why people are making such a big deal out of this. Unless her speech had nothing to do with the bill?
Age limit and term limits for all democrats and Republicans. Two term limits 3 years each if you win after your first 3 years you can run one more time. And add the Supreme Court to it too. Once you turn 60 years old you done with office completely...
Term limit staff as well, or you will have an unelected governing class. Ohh wait, we already do.
60?!? GET REAL!
Most people are competent well into their 70s at least; and some into their 80s. It depends on the INDIVIDUAL.
And since most of us will probably have to work until at least 70+, let’s not start getting into age discrimination! If we support that crap and legalize age discrimination now, that horrible decision WILL come back to bite us when we hit our 60s and still have to work.
We don't need teem limits we need stricter voter laws as our founding father's intended! Educated voters wouldn't keep electing these people!
60? how old are you?
Term limits would work fine aswell as cognitive evaluations for all politically elected or nominated including releasing information on their psychological and emotional history and health. Sounds invasive, but when your decisions can or will impact the privacy and livelihood of voters directly, I believe it's the least they should do.
Forced retirement sounds about right for at least a dozen Congress people on both sides of the aisle.
There's a point in the population of a meeting where it goes from productive to a show, circus, political grandstand. Look at all those people!
we need age and term limits now
If we can't get term limits, can we please for the sake of humanity get age limits? God Bless Ms. Feinstein, but she is 90 years young. Why does nobody in Congress ever want to retire and spend their money and party like its 1999? They earned it, now go spend it while you can still enjoy it for Godsakes. You can't take it with you.
Amazing how people cannot let go of power.
The insanity is obvious.😢 The Founding Fathers did not intend for our republic to make careers of politics.
Term limits and age limits are need to oust an end to all the swamp rats
This is literally like watching Veep
“Hunting humans is legal”
-Dianne Feinstein
lmao
How can those people make decisions for us when they don't even know where they are at.
He SHOULD NOT be telling her HOW to vote is she cannot make a conscious decision!! That is wrong!
This is absurd she had not been told to retire - she’s way past her due date.
After the Fetterman fiasco, does this Democratic party playbook really surprise anyone ?
Why isnt this women on hospice?
I love my 96 year old Grandmother who passed a few years ago. Sadly, this reminds me of her mental decline at the very end. It's amazing she is still in power. WTF
Alot of it is because she was hot. RIP
That's a great song-WTF/Whiskey, Tango,Foxtrot by Crazy Lixx!
How is this not a crime?
Stop babying these geriatric politicians. They are stubborn and selfish to hold on to these positions. For the sake of our country, give up the power trip and go home!
HOW is her vote legal when here you have people telling her how to vote?!~
Flipping PERFECT! 😖😡 TERM LIMITS!!
She is so rich that she could have spent her last days on a tropical island. Power is intoxicating.
Get these unfit politicians out of office-!!! Feinstein, McConnell, Fetterneck, Brandon...none of them are fit to serve and have no business passing laws the rest of us have to follow.
Senator Feinstein. Thank you for your service. I agreed with virtually nothing you stood for, but you are dignified and intelligent. Enough is enough. It’s time to quit.
Term limit!!! And political equality we should have Libertarians and many other party members in congress not just a bunch of dems or republicans
The Libertarian Party argues whether or not driver's licenses are necessary. They're a parody party.
What's the big deal here... they're only talking about $823 Billion for the DOD.
OUTRAGEOUS!! She has to be removed
THIS IS ILLEGAL!!!
All of them need to go.
I would love to see common people become politicians and not these bred mouthpieces of corporations.
This is sad to watch..Thoughts and prayers go out to Senator Feinstein and Senator McConnell…✝️TERM LIMITS PLEASE…
This is how we run the country! Amazing!
My faith in humanity is near zero.
Kind of reminds of mitch's inability to speak.
Term limits are the way!!
75 should be cut off point for
Senate and House
Age limit
Where is Jack Kevorkian when America needs him???
Diane and Mitch need to move on down the yellow brick road.
She needs to resign. It’s ridiculous that her staff needs to tell her what to say. It’s true that age is the problem. But not all that are old are cognitively impaired. I think of Bernie Sanders who is sharp as a tack !
Nothing like telling someone how to vote. And then they're so stupid they vote the way their told
Time to set age restrictions, term limits, and maybe even cognitive testing
died two momths later… this is something we need to realize, we never know when its someones last year month or day. we need to have certainty that our people in office, president senator whoever, are mentally and physically fit. because one day a old senator can vote on something and be confused, the next they pass. i dont want to see this happen with our president.
Feinstein was a public servant for many years. But in all deference to that she should have stepped down years ago
Shame on those that allowed any person, especially someone wiith this distinction, to continue to serve in this capacity
Term limits... 3 terms (18 yrs), or 70 yrs old (whichever comes first), for U.S. Senators, and 9 terms (18 yrs.), or 70 yrs old (whichever comes first), for Representatives.
If you are going to fight to get a Constitutional Amendment for term limits, also change the length of term of Representatives from 2 year to 4. Two-year terms mean they are constantly running for re-election rather than getting their work done. I also think 12 years for both the Senate and House would be long enough.
I didn’t vote for her.
Lmao people telling her how to vote. Jesus Christ this is ridiculous
You can't work till any age you want in a private company so why should we allow it in government? After a certain age there should be tests. Just like with a driver's license.
Elder abuse. Operating an assisted living facility without a license. Identity theft.
Term limits!!!!
So then whatever Yay or Nay that comes out of her mouth is NOT necessarily of her own critical thinking skills?! Another Puppet!!!😮
Everyone is crying about have an upper age limit. How about voters being wise enough not to vote for someone who should be in a care facility?
It’s sickening seeing how these Democrats treat their elders.
Really? Because they don't get her coffin ready?
This has to stop. The people are not being represented this is psychotic
She is very old this dangerous to be in the senate, she must relax in her house
I think we need to set term limits for politicians that are suppose to represent our cities and make crucial decisions and instead we have a bunch of nursing home patients falling down - forgetting what they are saying - speaking incoherently and the constituents should understand and be at ease with that?? We won't let our elderly parents use the toaster oven by themselves if we feel they are incapable.
Ummmm are they allowed to tell her what to say?
Ridiculousness
No one in their 80s or 90s should be allowed in public office. This is ridiculous.
Outrageous. Totally unacceptable
McConnell, Feinstein, and Biden. All need to retire ASAP............
She's burning 😂
Term limits
