Kyrsten Sinema doesn’t care one bit if she wins re-election, according to a new book.

“I can go on any board I want to. I can be a college president. I can do anything,” she said.

Sinema told Romney said she saved the filibuster and the Senate and that’s “good enough for me.”

    = Fuck you

    “I can go on any board I want to.”

    = I got mine

    What a lovely sentiment from a public servant.

    Just like DeSantis post-2025, I’ll boycott and badmouth any company that hires her stupid ass.

    This asshole cares more about her post-Senate media career than doing the right thing by her constituents.

    Everyone saw her cute little thumbs-down to paying people a living wage; she shouldn’t earn one either. Unfortunately the corporate media loves “moderates” like Sinema, so I guarantee she’ll get a cozy gig from MSNBC or FOX.

      In the interests fairness sinema wasn’t directly quoted saying this. From the article:

      According to reporter McKay Coppins’s new book, “Romney: A Reckoning,” Sinema once told Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah that she could “do anything” once she’s out of office and feels that what she’s done in the Senate is “good enough.”

        So the “quote” in the title isn’t even hers, but a paraphrasing in first person? That’s grade A bullshit.

        Sinema’s behavior isn’t appropriate.

        I don’t like the c word, either, but I don’t see it as sexist in this case. She went out of her way to earn it.

          I think adults (assuming the commentor is an adult) should be able to express their frustrations better. I live in America he or she can express themselves how they wish and I’ll express myself how I wish.

              I didn’t try to silence anyone. I have my opinion that the comment wasn’t appropriate. That’s my opinion. You probably have a different one. That’s fine. Disagreement isn’t censorship.

                Thankfully we can ignore your stupid take. She’s a traitorous cunt. She can also eat my entire ass.

                I can go on. If you’re looking for some sanitized safe space the internet probably wasn’t the best place to go.

              The first permanent English settlement in modern day America was Jamestown found in 1607\1610 (there was a brief abandonment) the “religious prudes” founded Plymouth colony in 1620.

              If you’re interested in the different types of English colonies in early America. Specifically how vastly different their cultures were and how that influenced modern American politics then I would highly recommend Albion’s Seed by David Hackett Fischer. I’m not going to lie it’s a doorstop of a book but it’s really good and very readable.

          Yes, 100% Americans are prudes & every single person from your country has your exact sensibilities.

            You don’t have to stereotype because we like maple syrup while fucking a moose in our igloos, buddy.

            But yes, Americans are prudes. Ultra violence is okay but god forbid you show a nipple or say cunt.

              Well I’m personally not a fan of ultra violence, whatever that is compared to violence, but I think if people have a problem with something or someone then you should be able to articulate that problem. Nipples don’t bother me either.

      It’s narcissistic and douchey. But it’s unfortunately not delusion. It’s hard to deny she had an impact. She wreaked havoc in the Senate. And now she has a golden ticket to go on to sit on boards, be ceo of something, or just be a public speaker and get paid shit tonnes of money. The system is set up for Senators

      If this is accurately reported then it definitely shows her priorities. I’m not going to lie I’m nervous that a threeway Arizona Senate race is going to make Keri lake a senator. We’ll see when the race heats up.

      Her and manchin publicly argue that getting rid of the filibuster would allow republicans to gut the social safety net when/if they take control of government. I think that’s a bad argument though because there’s always another election and if Republicans did do that then votes could put Democrats back in power to restore and/or improve everything.

        I guess we could flip flop on stuff like that but the folks screwed over during the interim are going to have a really bad time.

        Of course that’s also assuming some Democrats aren’t convinced (💰) to go along and we never get these program back. And if we do then we lose them again when the Republicans manage to up their voter suppression & gerrymandering game.

        Except it takes a lot more time, effort and money to rebuild something than it does to destroy it.

        As the Bigen administration is currently experiencing.

          That’s true. I guess that I think it’s worth the risk. The filibuster has basically brought to a halt any major legislation on a variety of matters. I think not doing anything could be worse.

    So she connived her way into power purely for the clout and opportunities it would give her, I guess that’s pretty par for the course.
