By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities.

It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

I am all for term limits and age restrictions for entering and leaving a job. If someone can’t do the job properly they should be asked to step down.
Way, I totally agree with having Trump and Biden running for president. It’s a joke! They are far too old!
If someone still wants to remain active, they can volunteer for a worthy cause or they can do consulting, etc. I don’t want them on the payroll or in any kind of permanent position.
We shouldn’t have to pay the price because a person’s ego won’t allow them to believe that they aren’t fit for the job.
It’s appalling how some place political positioning above humanity. Joe is hardly up to the rigors of the job either. We’ve all repeatedly seen his handlers shield him from objective journalist scrutiny and script his pre-screened, pre-approved “pressers” complete with detailed cliff notes and his response written in advance. The stakes are far too critical to have “leaders” incapable of the task at hand. We must have Term limits.

I think all any of us have is what has been reported. We don't live with DiFi and we aren't her doctors.
In SF much has been reported about this woman, much beloved in this city. The reports actually started as long ago as the Kavanaugh hearings when it was suggested that she was not grasping what was going on and her aids were having to intervene often. That was, as I recall, the FIRST rumors, but they were then ongoing.
Being an old retired nurse isn't much relevant here imho. It is rumors that are, and then where you find your information, and who has "skin in the game" on what they are reporting. The fact that for a long time now, reports are coming from those who truly love this woman, is concerning. And for me "may be" telling.
I think none of us can know. Like this thread itself, it is rumor, conjecture, and the supposition that something is wrong. Whether you CARE for her (as I most certainly do) or you do not, something, imho, is very wrong.
Nancy Pelosi's daughter is Feinstein's caretaker now, so that gets even weirder.
It's all just really sad and shouldn't be about politics at all. Feinstein's cognitive abilities are severely compromised, and she shouldn't be sitting on on of the most powerful committees in Congress. All of us here know very well that dementia patients don't recover well from major medical problems, and she's not going to improve.
I want a functioning senator, and we haven't had that from Dianne Feinstein in years. She shouldn't have run for re-election in 2018, as her cognitive issues have been known since back then.
Why didn’t the doctors get her to retire ?
just saying.
President Woodrow Wilson suffered a series of strokes over a period of more than 20 years beginning before he was elected president. He had a disabling stroke in 1919, and the seriousness of it was concealed from the public. He served out his term, which expired in 2021. His wife Edith conspired in the cover-up and "helped" the president run the country.
What's happening now is not new. It keeps happening but nothing is done about it.
Pilots and air traffic controllers have a mandatory retirement age for our safety . I don’t feel comfortable with these people making decisions any longer with our national security , nor our rights .
We need new blood in our government . Sorry but it’s time to let the working generation be represented by people their age, who can relate to current situations . The average age of a senator is in the mid 60’s, and a number of them are in their 80’s.
At first when I saw this discussion, I thought it not appropriate to the forum, but on further thought I think it may be.
Living in SF I greatly admire this woman. But the fact she may not be competent to serve due to aging issues now is a concern for our entire country, imho.
I don't so much see this as "about politics" as I do an issue of aging. So from that standpoint appropriate (again, just my opinion) to an elder forum.
I sure do think it were better placed in "discussions", a place I try to spend less time than I do answering questions from our OPs.
DiFi (as Herb Caen, local SF columnist back in the day called her) would not want to end her career in this way.
