        If you aren’t a POS, you have nothing to worry about. Its impolite to say it when she’s alive at 90, its impolite now, when are we supposed to call her out for terrible behavior exactly?

          Because every human being is 100% perfect and has never had any POS moments in their life, right?

          Respect for the dead is a real thing. Talking shit to someone’s face is allot braver than talking behind their back when they’re buried in the ground.

            Of course everyone has had bad moments. They are part of the truth though, and should be spoken of publically where appropriate. Judge people by their entire life, not only by the good parts. We as a society were not brave enough to demand she step down 3 years ago, but we can at least do her the courtesy of not lying anymore now that she’s dead.

              Don’t remember her condition being public knowledge 3 years ago?

                  The condition of being 90?

                  Its not the age, its the mileage (cognitive abilitiy), that matters.

                  /facepalm Is it reall that hard to understand that some people are more mentally healthy/whole at an age than others at the same age?

                  I get young people wanting to bash older people for bashing sake, makes them feel better. But there’s no truth to that, only selfish satisfaction.

                    I have no interest in bashing old people, but I will literally believe it when I see it. There is truth to the fact that old people die, quite often. If someone can prove they’re mentally and physically fit at age 90,more power to them. But if they can’t pass a test that proves they are able, they shouldnt be allowed in the Senate. Its not rude to assume the thing that’s almost always true about a group is true for an individual in that group.
