I hope ProPublica or some investigative journo outfit investigates just how wealthy Cursed'n'Sinister became in a single Senate term. She went from being in debt to being wealthy in that time, but how wealthy? I consider her a traitor who stabbed the Dems in the back during one of our worst political times ever. I hope she never gets to work in government again.

I know there are very few humble politicians, but the reality-denying ego on this woman is at Trumpian levels.

Excellent piece. "I’m admittedly not as brilliant as Sinema thinks she is, but I believe Americans prefer voting rights and reproductive freedom to tax breaks for private equity firms." Spoken like a true non-sofaphile.

Buh bye Sinister! Do a little curtsy and don’t let the door hit you on your way out, you ridiculous abuser of taxpayer dollars, defector from those that voted for you.

I swear, if you read between the lines of all these peeps bemoaning her departure, they're really saying "but she was so entertaining, what with constantly working against her own party and her quirkiness!"

Sinema may be book smart, but she’s a legend in her own mind. Her dropping out due to her epic failure as a Senator will become a minor footnote and a joke at cocktail parties. I don’t worry much about Kari “Loon” Lake. Her batshit performances will be a boost to Ruben Gallego.

So glad to read this about Senator Hot Topic.

And another chaos agent bites the dust! Also, too love that Dean Phillips did the right thing and endorsed Biden. I predict Sinema's 15th minute of fame is going to be largely biased towards making FUD against Democrats because that's where the money goes.

Also "Compromise is a dirty word" warrants a Hot Dog Guy meme for her. She definitely helped enable that.

That pampering is necessary for Democrats though, unlike Republicans. Babying this toddler is necessary because so many of these people are driven by ego and if you want legislation you need to give the toddler their binky. The easiest votes are "no," after all. That's why Senator Hot Topic got to do her cute little curtsy thumbs-down! This is a dynamic at large that, along with Murc's Law, means Democrats have to be extra deferential to obstinate obstacles.

She's not going to endorse for sure given her shitty, shitty staffer's words. Expect bullshit and FUD coming from this chaos agent in the fall. She doesn't even have the ethics of a common Dean Phillips.

As one of her "constituents" I look forward to the day when all I ever hear about her is a "𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙣𝙤𝙬" article buried on page C-47 titled "𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥"

Senator Hot Topic -> Gallego would be a hall of fame Senate seat upgrade if his current record holds up.

History's greatest assholes have always been misunderstood.

Stephen, thank you for doing what you do.

I object, it’s the rest of us that are Les Misérables, she doesn’t get to be Fantine unless she is actually bretrayed, regrets, or succumbs to poverty. Well. I’m seeing no reasons for her to sell her teeth, her hair, or her self, she’s just a selfish twit. She is welcome to disappear amid the rest of the mean girls.
