This woman is exhausting. Just reading about her makes me feel tired.

The problem of Sinema is caused by billionaires. Their very existence corrupts our nation. Louis Brandeis explained this a century ago. Someone with a billion dollars can easily afford to take on the hobby of befriending a poverty stricken supreme court hack. Or two or three. A senator? No problem. A whole coven of Congress critters is definitely possible. Not to mention the random cabinet official. All these are affordable.

"The report also revealed Sinema had spent no money on signature-gathering through the end of 2023. To qualify for the ballot as an independent, she needs to get 42,303 valid signatures by April 8, according to Arizona’s secretary of state office ― a task Arizona Democrats think only gets harder by the day.

“If she is running, I’m struggling to see why she isn’t in yet,” said Jon Sutton, who worked as the field director for the Arizona Democratic Party when Sinema ran for Senate in 2018. “She’s just making this harder and more expensive for herself, spending money she doesn’t really have.”

It adds up to an emerging consensus across both political parties: A typical politician would not run for reelection. There’s also an acknowledgment, however, that Sinema ― who evolved from a Green Party candidate to a Wall Street-friendly centrist ― is far from a typical politician."

I for one am for shocked that a person who ran on a left campaign, then turned right once elected, at the behest of Republicans and their donors, while whining how she was totally centric, is a grifting grifter who grifts.

Shocked I tells ya

“ It’s an arduous, Oregon trail-style journey that takes all of four hours — so many people have died of cholera along the way — but nonetheless, most Congress members usually fly commercial.”

Don’t forget the ones that are eaten before the plane lands (anything’s better than airline food).

The mob is turning:

"Report: Ben Shapiro donated up to $500K to migrant trafficking organization in 2022

Ben Shapiro donated as much as half a million dollars to an organization linked to migrant trafficking in 2022.

Sam Parker, former U.S. Senate candidate for Utah, disclosed this in a post on X. He referenced the 2022 annual report of the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), which indicated Shapiro’s donation of between $100,000 and $500,000 to the organization. According to Parker, the Jewish Shapiro remarked that he didn’t “give a good damn about the so-called ‘browning of America.’”

The conspiracy further deepened with the involvement of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who was formerly a board member of the HIAS. “Shapiro and Mayorkas share a certain common background with HIAS,” Parker continued.

HIAS is reportedly one of the most significant sponsors and facilitators of the mass migrant invasion wave at the U.S. southern border by providing financial and logistics support. One example of this is a migrant processing and support facility in Ecuador, located near the Darien Gap. Mayorkas himself has reportedly toured and approved of this facility."

Max Bialystok looked out the window as Krysten Sinema rode by in her limousine and yelled, "Flaunt it , Baby, flaunt it!"

Hah. "Sen. Krysten Sinema of the Sinema Party likes to live large." Emphasis on the word "party". Live it up baby. When your time is done don't even think of trying your hand at lobbying. You won't be able to get a parking ticket in D.C., let alone get a meeting with anybody.
