Sinema’s conduct makes sense to me only under one scenario: she’s a GOP plant.
She can easily be bought…
Best friends with the McCains
When the GQP Fascists overthrow democracy in ’22 or ’24 via throwing out elections they don’t win because we didn’t get federal election protection, she and Manchin are promised high positions in the new regime, or at least won’t be imprisoned/executed and allowed to retire.
Yep!
Y’all are on to something!!! Check this out from the AP.
WASHINGTON (AP) — More than for her shock of purple hair or unpredictable votes, Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is perhaps best known for doing the unthinkable in Washington: She spends time on the Republican side of the aisle.
Not only does she pass her days chatting up the Republican senators, she has been known to duck into their private GOP cloakroom — absolutely unheard of — and banter with the GOP leadership. She and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell talk often by phone.
She’s McConnell’s mole in the DNC!!!
And it’s even worse THAN THAT – she’s not doing it for new roads, she’s not doing it for her constituents. She doesn’t care about any of that. She’s doing it for THE MONEY.
From what I can tell nearly every politician down there is doing it for the money.
@Dok Skwyr There are exeptions, but I agree. Still they shouldn’t be as blunt about it as Sinema and Mansion. Or do they really think they’re fooling anybody?
@Igor Minion Unfortunately I think they’re fooling themselves while thinking they’re fooling others.
I think its worse than that.. I doubt this is about money. White feminism and Black civil rights have always been antithetical to each other.. sinema personifies that.. Her word.. putting “womens rights” at the forefront and letting civil voting rights take a back seat.. She is also from racist arizona.. no shock there.
@Dok Skwyr Blinded by greed. And popularity – I can’t really name too many senators, but alas those two are among them.
Say it with me.
Kyrsten sinema is a republican.
Let’s not mince words, the proper title is “republicunt”
@Florida Man I wouldn’t go that far.
Just to remove any doubt anyone might have. Y’all are on to something!!! Check this out from the AP.

@Octavio Rodriguez Woww
@DP they are not even good at hiding it. GOP has a monopoly on incompetence.
You said it JOY, you can tell by looking at her, not to be trusted!! Good reporting!! 1 LEGGED white guy from Iowa!!!!
While I fully agree she is not to be trusted, judging a person by what they “look” like or how they look is precisely the problem. But I do agree that Sinema is a fraud. She & Joe manchin are republicans in my book. I hear what she is saying but we cannot use what could happen as an excuse not to do what needs to be done. Mitch McConnell has blocked almost all meaningful legislation for over a decade. All that racist man does is line his pockets with dirty money. This country is going backwards instead of making any progress.
So obvious that she gets paid off..
Took ya long enough! S&M’s motives are NOT THAT DIFFICULT to recognize. If it stings like a wasp, and swarms exclusively with wasps, it _might_ just be a wasp. . . supremacist.
The evil slave to greed needs to start doing what the people want. See, some serious shenanigans can happen, if the people keep getting screwed. It won’t be to install a brain damaged dictator, but to remove minor tyrants like her, Manchin, and McConnell. Go ahead DC. Keep on pushing it…
She’s parroting Mitch with her filllabuster rhetoric.
Except Mitch and the Repubs get rid of it when necessary.
Would that be Moscow Mitch the guy who killed a sanction against Russia after they spent 200 million dollar to open a plant in Kentucky?
That’s because she’s trying to get into his “good graces”.
She’s in love with Moscow Mitch, begging for his approval.
@argon65 right. just like when she tapped Mitch on his shoulder when she voted against including the $15 minimum wage in the cares act. Pathetic, begging for his approval. funny thing is he barely glanced her way at the time. Both corrupt ( including many corporate democrats)
I totally agree with you the only thing the care about is aligning their pockets with wealthy donors. That’s more important
Mnuchin was at a party, end of last month on a boat. A GQP Repugnant sponsored it! Turned out it was a fund raiser! It’s all coming together! 🙄 They are TRAITORS TO THE CONSTITUTION!
Somebody please tell Kyrsten to start dressing like an adult!
sinema needs to have a real democrat run against her.
A real Democrat like Mark Kelly
I would vote anyone blue
Except her
She seems to forget, her State turned Blue this Cycle!?!
That is almost guaranteed. I doubt she has any intention to run as a Democrat for reelection.
Sen. Sinema should definitely be primaried. She’s bought and paid for by Big Oil, Big Pharma, Big Corporate donors, so she can keep buying those Prada shoes.
And don’t forget those Nauseating Glasses, kkklearly intended to make her appear “intelligent!” (notice i didn’t say ‘more’ “intelligent!”)
AJ, on another Show on msnbc, one of the Senator’s flat out called the repugs, the Gas & Oil Party.
That’s why she ran 4 Congress so she could B bought by dark money so she can buy those expensive shoes
And those ugly outfits.
The progressive fantasy of primarying a too conservative candidate. All this would do is result in a true Trumpublican winning. Not all states are as Blue as AOC’s.
Sinema has voted more often with Biden than Warren or Sanders. Her Trumpublican replacement would vote 0% with him.
Yes she is! Despicable woman.
All we do is talk we need to vote some of these people out cuz they trying to divide the country worser than what it is!!! And they get paid for doing it we are the losers
Kyrsten Sinema could do something about the filibuster, but she won’t. Her opposition to filibuster reform begs other questions. Sinema co-sponsored S.1, a comprehensive voting-rights bill that earned its designation as a marker of its perceived importance. Yet Sinema steadfastly clings to an obstacle in the bill’s path to passage: the filibuster.
She doesn’t even hold a microscopic quantity of integrity to Bernie Sanders. Look at their voting records folks.
Thank your for reporting on Sinema’s more than questionable deliberate inaction, Joy! Big up to AOC!
Kyrsten Sinema is the classic example of a person that, “Supposedly” came up through hard knocks, and once they get a taste of power and access to money they lose their souls. She didn’t just lose her soul, she cast it away with all deliberate haste. She also threw away whatever morality and ethics she may have had in the beginning,.she’s pathetic.
Sinema is democrat in name only unless I am mistaking something. She is literally trying to appeal to racists and insurrectionists.
The Democrats in Arizona must retire her.
I agree!
Is anyone still confused here, she lied to her supporters, she is a republican
That’s been my conclusion, she fooled me. Hoping Arizona will weed out the pretenders, give us a genuine candidate for next election
Sinema is a complete fraud.
