Protesters Driven To Desperate Measures To Get Sinema To Actually Pay Attention | Talking Points Memo

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), who left D.C. amid negotiations with the White House over the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill that she refuses to back at its current size, encountered protesters in her home state several times this weekend.

Biden: We could bring the moderates and progressives together very easily if we had two more votes. Two. Two people

I think that I kindaā€™ really love this kind of talk from our President.

Morning folks! Itā€™s raining in central PA. :cloud_with_rain:

As did Captain Edward Smith, Iā€™m sure Biden has a plan to salvage this situation.

Prior to MAGA Trump supporters raising more than $2 million to help with his legal costs, Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller publicly denounced help from the former president and his son, saying he would ā€œrather sit in jailā€ than accept their support.

President Trump. I was told by everyone to kiss the ring because of your following and power. I refuse. While I respect your foreign policy positions* I hate how you divided the country. I donā€™t need or want your help. You do not have the ability to pull US together. You may even win the next election. But your generationā€™s time is running out. Tell your son to stop tweeting about me. Your whole family knows nothing about US or our sacrifices. I could never work with you. Iā€™d rather sit in jail and be released with a dishonorable than make compromises in my beliefs.

Hard to infer a lot from a single picture but I donā€™t think Sinema is all there. I almost think sheā€™s incapable of realizing what a ruckus sheā€™s caused.

Because Fox
In a column on Sunday, Fox News writer Dom Calicchio reported that Duckworth had not paid property tax on her Illinois home since 2015.

The headline for the column omitted the fact that Duckworth legally qualifies for the tax break because she is a disabled veteran who lost both of her legs when an Army helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade in 2004.

Sen. Sinema should do a couple of townhall meetings in AZ and answer her constituentsā€™ questions directly. Some of them want answers and she is certainly not being very forthcoming.

2 things: 1. I think the key question is how wedded Sens. Manchin and Sinema are to the Dem Party: would they be willing to turn independent, or even caucus with the GOP? 2. What is Sen. Sinema trying to accomplish? I have read various analyses of her possible motives, but none of them really click with me. Does she think she is playing a winning hand now? Also, who is her real audience?

If she screwed the Dems, scuttled Bidenā€™s admin, and then flipped parties sheā€™d be a shoo-in for Trumpā€™s VP slot on the 2024 ticket.

I read yesterday that sheā€™s way out of her depth, is drowning but canā€™t decide if she needs rescuing.

The very people who put her in power want her out. I think sheā€™s playing big time games with little experience.

I, myself look upon her with ā€œa johndiced eyeā€. Insufferable, multicolored silly person.

She doesnā€™t care. Her job is, in her mind, to promote herself to her financial backers.

She really doesnā€™t care what the actual Democratic voters want. She plans on being a one-term Senator and for blocking the reconciliation bill she has been promised a life-long seat on the dark money gravy train.

Wing nut welfare - its not just for Republicans any more.

She pretends to be feeling ā€œpressureā€ from voters that cannot be seen, send no email or letters, and make no phone calls. The actual voters who do all those things oppose her stance.
