She reminds me of the professional sports athlete that came from nothing, grew up in toxic poverty, and makes it big. Then the money eats them alive and they end up bankrupt mentally and physically. In this case she would end up a lobbyist after losing her next election, but I don't think she realizes she's going to be like poison ivy. Republicans and their donors may sway her to gain complete and total power, but I see them kicking her to the curb once they achieve it. I mean, they don't have a problem eating their own.

This is exactly why we need to desperately change campaign laws, nobody is really willing to stand up to her. I heard my Senator, Maria Cantwell, sounded like she was falling asleep when talking about voting rights yesterday. The money is going to tank America. My Uncle is a Vietnam veteran and on July 4th 2018 at my parents back yard BBQ he told us all to make sure we get passports and if it's outdated get it updated, because he said we're going to have to take refuge in Canada and it's going to be sooner than later.

She is dangerous! And she must be disavowed by organizations like HRC. She has no place being endorsed by those of us who truly support LGBTQ equality. She is a fraud!

I keep hearing about how intelligent Sinema is. Almost to genius level some people are saying. But I don’t know how much intellect it takes to dupe a base of voters. Now we can see right through her and she’s earned herself a lot of hatred. Who would vote for her now?

Sinema and Manchin are agents of evil in the same camp as the GOP Reich. Someday those of us on the side of democracy are going to have to resist, really resist in the most direct terms, the New Dark Age the monsters are trying to impose on the rest of us. As to Sinema, I understand that she has received contributions from 93 different billionaires. As the old joke goes: "We know what you are. Now we're just talking about the price..."

Just penned a message to Sinema, expressing my disgust at her speech and her stance on voting rights. Suggest we all write to her office. She needs to be inundated with phone calls & letters. Her stance is anti-democratic and suspicious …..she read the speech with nervousness, uncertainty , almost as if she was under some outside influence & control.

Sinema is one hell of a rattlesnake. The Christian Reich will drag her if she runs, especially in AZ. Josh Marshall's insiders are saying she's toast in 2024 in her re-elect.

I loved how the caller from yesterday's show said sellout Sinema said she worships the almighty dollar. So damn true! I have a feeling this soon-to-be ex-senator will be subject to rounds of boos if she ever attempts one of those university graduation commencement speeches.

First off the media whore is only living up to chameleon standards of yesteryear. The shyster senator stopped being a democrat the moment the bank account matched her government salary. She has shown her cards since entering the senate and no one paid attention. Well, the indignation now was always the point when you possess no morals beyond your nose. Anyone notice how wytpipo would prefer to kill democracy rather than allow a semblance of equality?

Shapeshifter like one of the Star Trek versions. When I heard her statements of non-support in getting national, level, equal voting rights passed I was beside myself. Many German potty words like fikken arschloch echoed around the freedom of an empty house. You’re correct Mike, she’s another high level narcissist. I’m sick of Manchenema, they need flushed. Greed greed greed at bottom, probably the one only thing they stand on in principle.

Is sellout Sinema trying to win an Emmy or some crap? Plus how the hell can Democratic policies/bills be reversed, when there are almost none that have been passed this congress due to this damn fillibuster?

Together with Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema is poised to end any chance of voting rights, and in the process bring down the Democratic Party and perhaps destroy democracy in USA. Manchin and Sinema join Mitch McConnell by rejecting a filibuster carve-out to "uphold Senate tradition". But when McConnell denied Barack Obama his constitutionally required SCOTUS pick, he lost all credibility as a champion of "Senate rules". And regarding Manchin and Sinema's insistence on bipartisanship, you actually need two legitimate political parties for bipartisanship. Republicans are no longer a legitimate party; with Trump's Big Lie supported by so many Republicans, they have morphed into a cult. Meanwhile McConnell and his Republican pals are laughing at Manchin and Sinema (and Shumer), and will continue laughing all the way till Election Day.

She is not a bisexual person nor a Christian. Hence the cross she was wearing during that speech. She only morphosed into what she needs to be to GET money. What a sham! I think Joe Manchin wants and acts like he is president and she tags along like his vice-president. They both are distracting attention away from President Biden. So fucking shameful.

And for the Republican Party it is TTT… tethered to Trumps testicles. It must be getting really heavy and hard for him to move smoothly… watch and see what is coming down

This might sound dramatic, but we might well mark January 13th, 2022 as the day democracy died in America. If Sinema doesn't change her stance on the filibuster, or some other miracle I'm not aware of, the Republicans will take over Congress next year and that will be the beginning of permanent rule by a minority party. I don't see any other outcome.

Her performance on the podium at the Senate was like a bad CW network made-for-TV remake of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington". Somebody hand her one of those Raspberry awards for that phony sob show.
