Trashy Zone

You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A terrifying journey into the depths of human depravity. Next stop, the Trashy Zone.

Following these rules will increase your odds of making it out of the trashy zone alive.

  1. Be nice. Rude, aggressive and antagonistic commentors will be made leave.

  2. I don't want a classist definition of trashy being this subs main interpretation of trashyness. Posts depicting decadent displays of wealth are encouraged

  3. The five patron saints of the trashy zone are Charlie, Mac, Dennis, Dee and Frank from IASIP. Please pay homage to them whenever possible.

  4. No overly dark topics like sa or child abuse. I want a light tone to this place. What consistutes too dark is currently up to moderator discretion.

  5. Once this server hits 5k subs a community discussion post will be created. Ideas to build this community will be shared and discussed.

She'll always have the legacy that she was too mentally incompetent to know when it's time to retire and let the next generation take over. Worked herself to death and for what exactly

Her and RBG really fucked up badly. But they don't have to be here to see the fallout.

If that kind of working class solidarity is "trashy" then you can call me the trash man. fuck feinstein fuck Mitch McConnell fuck any politician who holds on to power selfishly at the expense of the rest of us.

While she was a horrible ending, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was even worse. Rbgs lifetime of work was eviscerated because she was too selfish to step aside when her time was due.

These people are the epitome of 'you can die a hero or live long enough to become a villain'.

Yeah, at least Feinstein was always guaranteed a Democrat replacement. RBG stayed even after it was known it would be a guaranteed conservative replacement.

Remember when Merritt Garland was supposed to be a Supreme Court justice?

Even if RBG retired under Obama, McConnell would have done the same shit with her replacement.

Now she didn't know that, but it doesn't mean we would have a better court if she had retired sooner.

She could have done it when she was diagnosed with cancer 9 years previously and the Democrats controlled both houses with a supermajority in the Senate and a decade past the standard US retirement age.

Yes, that's what many people said at the time.

[–] squirmy_wormy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The argument with garland was "it was an election year". They tried to make rbg retire well before that so at least that argument would have been different.

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 43 points 1 year ago

He's right though. Fuck these assholes and their lust for power.

Fuck all those old sacks of ass.

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

He is right.

[–] SafCack@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Dude is on point.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

Imagine being a stan for Feinstein or any of the other politicians that have spent their lives sitting on their hands and making hollow remarks for massive paychecks.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

It was a relief when nature forced her to retire. And she was my senator.

I never support protesting funerals, so I’m not exactly a fan of this guy, but he’s not wrong.

Like 6 years ago, but she served in the Senate until September 29th.

Also I dunno, don't fly a Confederate flag in a proud union state and then try to prosecute the hero who repeatedly climbed the flag pole, tore it off and burned it.
