 On the one hand I like to follow the Latin saying, “De mortuis nil nisi bonum.” Loosely translates to: “Never speak ill of the dead.”

On the other hand, these corrupt politicians, on BOTH sides, like Feinstein have stolen taxpayer dollars for decades through various funding and taxation mechanisms to better themselves. Feinstein recently sold two of her vacation homes and her estate is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. On a salary of a few hundred thousand a year.

Fuck these people. 
 Genuinely curious about @394b5c0e ‘s take here, would love some feedback. Maybe I’m an asshole, but I don’t mourn these politician’s passing. Thieves of the taxpayer, in my mind.
