Sinema has no fixed beliefs, other than a belief in Kyrsten Sinema. She’s nothing more than an amoral transactionist admiring herself in the mirror.

That sort of dishonesty still is hard for me to compute. I see it and get it after a fashion but it makes no sense to me. My kind of honesty would never work in politics. My values aren’t for sale.

Sinema has reportedly told House Democrats this week that she won’t vote for the reconciliation bill until the bipartisan infrastructure bill she helped craft passes first.

Fuck her: roll the two bills into one and move to pass that legislation.
It was a plan B, might as well make it plan A.

Oops! Did I just say that? I totally did not mean to say that! Drat!

No, seriously, I’m disappointed, and not a little concerned.
