Ugh. She just had to “thank them for their service” in her response, didn’t she? Empty words. She’s the worst

Not sure. I think it depends on where the money is held. I’m pretty sure once she leaves office, she just can’t “cash it in” or use it to pay personal expenses, but the money could be used to create a snazzy little lobbying firm for herself, or maybe a consultant shop for DC “Dress for Success” wannabees. I’m sure she will be on top of all the latest grift opportunities and laws. She has 2 more years to go, and I’m sure she will not resign. She won’t be a candidate for the Senate again – her popularity/poll ratings just keep dropping like a big rock.

Perhaps she’ll be overcome by fate before then and be incapacitated by a massive hickey.

Q. - can Trump do whatever he wants with this money-for instance, to settle his debts if the Russian mob calls in its markers?
A. - possibly … depends upon how willing / flexible his Russian Mob creditors are inclined to be … will they collaborate in the creation of clever channels through which funds can be moved in order to circumvent laws and regulations? … or will they be like …

“I thank them for their service…"
This is the hollowest and most meaningless platitude she could have regurgitated. Most veterans I know can’t stand it. She could have told them Welcome Home, but she wouldn’t have meant that either.

I took it as double FU, one for their military service, and one for their help in getting her elected.

When you can simply overpay the hell out of an accomplice (see the inauguration) and then take some of that back through other channels (or just have them fund your lavish lifestyle, like the accountant and the Trump Co minions), there is effectively zero limit when the DoJ does nothing to track it down.

Republican Governor, don’t forget that part. We’re experiencing being between Scylla and Charybdis.

Sure. Also, as long as Trump can make the farcical notion that one of his nitwit children might succeed him seem plausible, he won’t have to worry about paying.
Better to have their hooks into Junior or Lust Object.

a grinning McConnell … will also be grinning - because … no matter… absolutely NO MATTER …what he & others promise her … McConnell knows full well that he & the Arizona Republicans & the National Republicans will grotesquely and lethally stab her in the back and burn her body … at the first available opportunity … she will never, never, never get the Republican endorsement for 2024 … or in any other year … oh she will make a pile of $$$ … but she’s radioactively toxic from a future political stand point.

I see it the exact same way. It’s a knife she’s deliberately sticking in their ribs.

AZ law requires that a Senate appointment by the governor must be from the same party as the Senator being replaced.

Yeah, but it seems it was more like “advisors” to her.
Kyrsten Sinema is not doing any of this shit based on personal financial gain. She is simply rebelling against her current “family” – i.e., Democrats – by getting in good with people who don’t like her family – i.e., corporate lobbyists and big money donors. Dumb rebellion against her peers is all she has done her entire adult life.
ETA: I cannot believe that this got 25 likes. I’m right, but I’m also just an armchair psychologist. Someone please report my amateur but obviously correct diagnosis to her professional therapist (which she definitely does not have).

Sinema is self destructing in real time. She is either thoroughly corrupt or a complete fool. Maybe both?
