I absolutely despise the turtle-man, but I don’t like making fun of obvious medical conditions.

No one's making fun of the medical condition, they're making fun of the evil sack of shit with the medical condition, because he's an evil sack of shit, not because he has a medical condition.

This piece of shit has done awful things to our country, but I don’t wish him poor health.

Why not? The longer he lives, the longer he does evil. Ideally, we'd have a functional system that blocks evil sacks of shit from coming into power; or at the very least, upon the revelation that someone in power who turns out to be an evil sack of shit, a functional system that removes them from power. That's not the reality we live in though, so the least extreme flicker of hope we have is that evil sacks of shit die spontaneously via stroke or heart attack or meteor strike or asphyxiation after falling head first into the tank of an outhouse... wishing poor health on evil sacks of shit should be encouraged.

Feinstein as well… I can’t stand her and pity her for remaining in office as an obviously ailing 90 year old kept in place to maintain a false bulwark.

Less evil so much as she's simply a tool for actual evil; but tbh, kinda same as above, maybe barring the outhouse bit. She needs to be removed, and longer she refuses the more she solidifies her legacy as being a tool for evil. Whether or not she has the mental capacity to be aware of that is moot; ideally our system would remove someone in that condition to make space for someone who's actually capable of doing their job... but we don't live in that ideal, so again we're left just waiting for a stroke or something.

It's shitty. It's fucked up. It feels dirty. But I refuse to give an ounce of sympathy to evil people or their pawns just because they're sick, or old, or senile, or distraught over the death of their pet hamster-- none of that shit matters. What matters is that they're evil or enabling evil; and that they're in power. Which is a fucking problem.

Feinstein was evil well before she was a senile senator.

I honestly don't know much about her beyond her current drama; but the point I was making was that even if she was the most benevolent and impactful leader to ever grace this planet with her literally flawless policies: it doesn't matter. The second she can't do her job, she needs to get the fuck out.
