Newsflash: perfidious silly fucking MORON Kysten Sinema has now gone to the Senate Floor and and given a speech denouncing any changes to Senate rules that will allow the Democrats’ thin majority to do anything - in the name of “protecting the senate from devisiveness.” She did it an hour before President Biden as to appear at he Senate to press his case for a rule change that will allow democracy-protecting legislation to come to a vote.
The only thing Sinema and Manchin bring to the Democrats is the majority to allow the Democrats to elect the speaker. It is a big delivery. They are both traitorous being Republicans in all but name in order to get elected but without their confusing duplicity the Senate would today be Chaired by Moscow Mitch and even the few but very significant pieces of legislation enacted so far by the Biden administration would have been stymied.
Biden is playing the hand he has been dealt and playing it surprisingly well considering. A lot more show could be made of how slow the DoJ is in bringing charges and calling out the disgrace that is Sinema Manchin and so many other emotional trigger topics but far better to leave those subjects on a slow burn that they are still front and centre in the midterms than to get all excited in a sugar high of focusing on the injustices now when you really can’t do anything about them anyway.
As a 40 year ago founder of a local Green Party here TC, I think your characterizations are a bit broad. Greens are in a position to make significant contributions to government in systems other than two party systems. In bicameral houses I agree they are significant vehicles for grand standing egos and as such highly destructive. Then again there were Ross Perot and Ralph Nader. Those egos will always find a way. Speaking of which perhaps there is a way to harness Kentucky senator Rand Paul, another pure ego driven politician and allow him to preen in return for some small favour. Not on this issue but there’s his weakness and a Republican weakness.
She’s a puta. And the cross she was wearing? Costume jewelry.
Obv to me now after her stunt yesterday that she knows more than what people think. I hope the Select Committee gets their hands on her. Not any grounds except guilt to refuse an invitation to come chat.
What an insult to the Democrats of the state of Arizona. Poor vetting on this candidate. Good liar must be on her resume.
TC, the only problem with your characterizing Sinema as "perfidious" ( which I love, btw) is that she was never trustworthy from the start!! Her sudden concern about the very divisiveness she has done so much to nurture and feed was breathtakingly disingenuous! She is all you describe and perhaps even more vacuous than any of us can imagine. I wish she weren't a woman because the words you use to rightly question her intelligence, honesty and competence are the same words that have been used by misogynists ( which you are not) to malign and destroy intelligent, honest and competent women through history. OTOH, What's good for the goose is good for the gander in the public life of politicians!!!! She deserved your skewering- every word of it!
I just don't understand how the Dems ever thought they had a Majority in the Senate. Manchin and Sinema aren't Democrats. Never have been. Perhaps the strategy for BBB would have been different (and so many other things). Oh well they just don't know how to govern that well it seems. Sigh
In a nutshell: "She is a silly and perfidious person." Hey, folks, if any of you tweet, tweet THIS directly to her @SenatorSinema !
Oh, no! My God, she is the worst. Again, I totally agree with you. If I was as smart as you are, I'd write the same message. How horrible is she?
I swear that she's a wannabe trumpista in disguise! Grrrrrrrrrr!
You’re being way too nice to Sinema. Please don’t hold back, TC.

I spit on her fan club. In Russia.

I knew it was way too good to be true. Thanks, TC. At least I feel somewhat better having read your truths.
