Description

We're back from a brief hiatus with our "damnatio memoriae" of the late Dianne Feinstein and her husband financier Richard Blum.

We get into their sorted history of politics, money and corruption. Feinstein represents some of the worst tendencies of American and San Francisco liberals. Both facing the culture war as those falsely championing justice and equality, while bilking workers, renters and the
tax-payers for everything they could for themselves an their corporate sponsors.

In the spirit of the Dead Kennedys, here’s to remembering DiFi and Blum as who they actually were:
"The Landlord's here to visit
They're blasting disco down below
Says, "I'm doubling up the rent
'Cause the building's condemned
You're gonna help me buy City Hall"

But we can
You know we can
But we can, you know we can
Let's lynch the landlord man"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Outro- “Let's Lynch the Landlord “ by the Dead Kennedys (dedicated to
Dianne Feinstein and Richard Blum)
