Feinstein openly objects to treating PTSD in combat veterans

During an early morning interview on a southern California radio talk show, Senator Dianne Feinstein managed to outrage both the conservative and liberal parties when she made a questionable statement regarding medical marijuana and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. As a result, her approval rating has dropped an unprecedented level in only a single day.

Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Lexington, the host of 'Morning California' on PBS of Southern California, discussed current hot topic issues in the American conscience such as gun control, gay marriage, and marijuana legalization. However, it was Feinstein's comments at the end of the interview that left the talk show host utterly speechless.

"The last thing this country needs is to make a dangerous and addicting drug easily and readily available. What kind of message would that be if we federally allowed people to choose for themselves what they can and can't put into their body? We have those regulations for a reason. It's bad enough that the American public can just chow down willy-nilly on fattening foods with little restraint, why should we give them a substance that would make them want to eat even more?

Now we are hearing all this nonsense about how medical marijuana could alleviate the symptoms of PTSD in soldiers coming back from the Middle East. If individuals are having nightmares and panic attacks about the atrocities they have committed overseas while following orders from a war criminal like former President George Bush, then quite honestly they deserve it. We shouldn't free them from their guilt any more then we should free a murderer or rapist from their prison cells."
Her comments were almost immediately followed by a public outcry on social media, with various commenters calling Feinstein 'ignorant, tyrannical, idiotic,' and 'disgusting.' This does not include the countless other comments directed at the Senator that are too vulgar to be shown in this article.

"This will be a very interesting case to observe," said William Kelly, a professor of sociology and political science at the California Institute of Science. "Feinstein has in just a few sentences managed to upset people across the entire political spectrum. This includes interest groups from veterans to conservatives to progressives; even marijuana advocates are lashing back at Feinstein. For someone like me who studies social sentiments and events, this is like being able to observe a lunar phenomenon that only happens once in a millennium."

Californians interviewed on the street couldn't hide their shock and disbelief over Feinstein's comments, many finding it difficult to articulate their feelings without the use of obscene language. One man said, "I'm definitely going to start paying more attention to who I vote for," before shaking his head and walking away without giving his name.

As of this writing, Senator Feinstein's office has disconnected all phones and have not replied to any emails. According to an inside tip, many in Feinstein's staff have 'abandoned ship' and resigned from their positions in an effort to distance themselves as much as humanly possible from the now 'toxic' Senator.

I think in the case of Ma'am Senator! Feinstein it's spelled l-o-o-n-e-r.

This is Feinswine's version of "shock and awe" as our troops were fighting real 'war criminals'; jihadists, and giving their lives so human debris like Feinswine can go carefree without worrying about having a dull blade pressed to her wrinkled, old neck in decapitation mode.

Show us the luuv, Feinswine.

One of her staffers was heard to say, "PTSD is all in their heads"

And therein lies the problem. All are volunteers, so this condition is self-inflicted. VA doesn't pay for self-inflicted injuries...Think how much money we could redistribute!

Feinstein can rot in Hell. It's a problem that can't be solved with night basketball or bookmobiles or needle exchanges or condom distribution or government cheese. Dammit.
