Senator Sinema:
Wow! What a day you had yesterday! What an impact on the country! In one day you embarrassed the President, stabbed your party in the back (while making the Republicans very happy), sold out minorities and others who will lose their right to vote and gave start to the end of this democratic experiment.
In your speech (which deviously preempted anything the President was going to say) you talked in contrived emotional tones about the filibuster as if it were a dear friend, as if it were a safety valve for our nation, as if it were a treasured legacy from the Founding Fathers when it is a relatively recent bureaucratic relic from the Jim Crow era, as if it’s some tool of civility or compromise when the Republicans are actively exploiting it to block legislation that would protect our preeminent and foundational right – the right to vote.
You appear to be a self-serving, self-absorbed and aloof, grandstanding pretender with no sense of history, no sense of the weight and gravity of the moment, no sense or consideration of the impact of your actions on the lives of others. With your performance you have almost assured that this country is well on its way to hell in one of your designer handbags.
Yes, that was quite a day, the consequences of which will play out for generations.

  1. THIS is what the Fuck you get when

    ‘Campaign Contributions] are Free

    fucking Speech & We the Peeps

    Owe it ALL to the (McMitch)

    KkKonnel* supreme Court.

    *it usta be the Roberts Court?

    but the Inmates have

    taken over the

    Asylum.

  2. Come on. Kirsten is just doing her best to keep Arizona relevant in the national embarrassment tourney. After all, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Ron Johnson are stiff and consistent competition, Joe Arpaio is finally a memory, and the Arizona audit was a predictable nothingburger. She saw an opening to not only upstage all of this other stuff, but to disenfranchise over half the country and crush the last vestiges of hope for democracy. So she took her shot I guess.

  3. Does anyone remember when Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer and many other Democrats were passionate defenders of the filibuster? Looks a lot like karma to me.

  4. @3 — U.S.

    Senate repubs

    ‘represent’ FORTY

    MILLION fewer Citizens

    than their Democratic representatives

    minority

    Rule

    truly

    Sux

    ‘specially when

    ‘Republican’ Policy

    is Overwhelmingly UN-

    fucking popular. Billionaires’re

    Eating our breakfast lunch & dinners

    speaking of Karmas.

  5. @4:

    Please reread my comment. If the filibuster sucks now it must have sucked when Biden et al were supporting it so vigorously. Can you detect the rancid smell of hypocrisy?

  6. McMitch KkKonnell’s ‘respect’

    for the filly-buster was most

    Evident whilst appointing

    far far FAR right Ideo-

    logues to the USSC

    he didn’t Need no

    stinkin’ filibuster

    so it (magic-

    ally!) went

    a-Way!

    and ain’t it Rich

    for the so-called

    ‘right’ to speak of

    hypocrisy? yes, it

    IS.
