To be fair, Sinema might have been talking about Schumer. If he would have gotten rid of the filibuster, he would have one less thing he needed to pretend about.
Krysten Sinema, the original slimeball who famously voted down raising wages while doing a 'sinking in the water' 'funny' move while doing it. Just a complete ghoul of a human being.
I don’t understand why Dems on The Hill are so afraid of DJT and President Musk. If their votes are for the purpose on enriching constituents’ lives, then they have nothing to worry about. Caving to the GOP, as they did on Friday will cost them their jobs come election time. IJS
I pray that if I get a heads up that I am close to meeting my creator that I will spend my time fixing as many of my wrongs as possible. Unfortunately, I don’t think McConnell agrees.
Also, without filibuster we would have a full Build Back Better and have funded refundable Child Tax Credit, likely meaning Dems would have a trifecta now.
Kirsten, you may as well have gotten rid of the filibuster back when Biden was president for all the good it does you when you are in the minority. You have taken the one bargaining chip that the Democrats hold in Congress and thrown it away. Shame on you.
This is a phenomenon called “bad faith” miss sinema thinks that she can establish a rule and then expect other players not to use it to their advantage even as she uses it for her own. You make a rule to use against others those others get to use it too even if they think it’s a shitty rule.
So Sinema is not only a craven politician, who sold out her party and her constituents for her own gain, but she's stupid? There's no 'change of heart' offered, in AOC's words...
I bet people is still reminding her on the streets everyday. It's very hard to build a new reputation when everybody think you are a useless piece of shit.
Kyrsten Sinema is so unpopular that she left office with an approval rating lower than Biden, and lower than Trump at any point in his first term except for immediately after Jan 6, where he was only 2 points lower than her.
She doesn’t get to weigh in on anything. Especially policy.
But she had a healthy bank account when she left. She doesn't give a shit about the horrible things she did it's all about the money. Karma do your thing...

Well there is a whole crew of these hyenas (mostly in the GOP~ but dem moles too) who need to be deported ~and they can linger in the clinker a bit first~instead of hard working undocumented immigrants plus green card holders illegally picked up persecuted
What is the use of the filibuster if the Democrats refused to use it?
Oh, that’s right so the Democrats can not pass any fucking laws, because the Republicans use it regularly.
Seems Dem leadership like clinging to the filibuster to use as an excuse for inaction. The loss of all the progress that could have been made after Democratic voters delivered large(just not filibuster proof) margins has been soul crushing to voters.
This needs to be seen by every asshat that voted for the CR. They failed us and did everything redumblicans wanted. States should change their laws that allow constituents to recall congresspeople who are not doing what their people want. We need to change terms for Senators from 6 years to 4.
Kyrsten Sinema lied her ass off to get elected, then broke if not inverted every promise she made to AZ voters. Sinema could have been democracy's savior had she kept her promises. Instead, she went with a Big Pharma front's talking points on "bipartisanship," meaning never opposing Big Pharma.
AOC, Mayor Pete and Jasmine are the only ones that we need to be pushing forward at this point. There are others that are fighting the good fight like Bernie, Tim, Amy, Warren etc but we need some young blood in government now. The others can get behind them and support them. I have a dream😌
Chuck Schumer is still one of those old school corporate democrats. He puts on a show to support the average joe but when push comes to shove his high dollar donors are his boss. He doesnt seem to understand that this fight is about our country not their money and stock options.
The problem is, even with a filibuster, a new package would not have happened, and Trump would have been in complete power in a shutdown. I hate it, but maybe he made the right call, even if it was "political suicide." It was important to keep the government intact so we can fight.
1/ Hey Sinema, how about you sit this one out? Do what you do best wine tasting. We’re going to send all those milk toast Democrats like you back to your civilian life.
Tennessee Holler, I’ve been following you guys since my twitter days…. And I don’t even live in Tennessee lol but yall always seem to have news and really good posts so you’re worth the follow. Thank you!
Ha ha speaking of which check this out . Fetterman and wife accompanying PA carpetbagger new “Senator” McCormick on his book tour! Make it stop, people. McCormick is still MIA here in PA.
That Giselle is also participating in this is kind of mind blowing considering her “ultra progressive,” thrift store hipster persona she’s put out there. Weird.
I wouldn't fall for AOC's hype. She's a member of the Justice Democrats and the Squad. They're out to hijack the Democratic party for their own extremist selves.
Their extremism lies in their intolerance to anyone who doesn't meet their idea of political purity. That's not what Democracy is about. That's what my relatives experienced behind the iron curtain. And as for all the benefits? Their hostility to business led to chronic shortages of consumer goods.
Why did Schumer give in like that? I read he has a flip phone, so he can’t even communicate. That’s Leadership 101——communication!! Get him outta there.
I don't think she has had a change of heart. Rather she is upset that the Filibuster has yet to be used to stop republicans. Democrats need to grow enough spine to use it themselves, it what she is saying.
You deserve more active support from the congressional democrats. Out of more than 250 dems on congress why are less than a dozen out front and center and vocal?
NOT ONE MORE DIME to Democrats until the party changes leadership. Jeffries & Schumer both have got to step down and let others lead. Jeffries was an epic fail letting 10 Dems vote against Al Green. And now Schumer - what a COWARD. He has got to be forced to step down now. It can't wait. Unreal.

Turns out she's just that dumb.
Okay, you can have it.
This is the very worst negotiating strategy you could possibly have.
protects the rights of the minority party by allowing extended debate on legislation
can promote compromise
can prevent hasty decisions
also
can enable obstructionism
can slow down the legislative process
can make it harder for the majority to pass laws
We can’t let this stand
There must be consequences
Schumer must go
He must be removed as leader
We can’t just move on to the next outrage and hope he changes course because he won’t
#RemoveSchumerAsLeader
but thinks she’s gonna pop up now and throw shade on AOC???
Oh honey, fuck ALL the way off.
AOC is so much more intelligent.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Make this POS famous.

Actually, Sinema needs to sit all of them out.
Now when Dems need to???
Go ahead. Ask me for $$$ and see what happens.
Btw. Does DNC have a leader or not? He's MIA.

Keep it up
he fooled us with his salt-of-the-earth cosplay...including me.
Trump: Lol. 🔥🔥🔥
Primary Chuck and the rest of the appeasement crew.
future generation of what happens when you elect politicians who play both sides then call it bipartisanship.
The US Senate should be abolished and its responsibilities transferred to a reformed House of Representatives
Republicans don't give a damn about working together!
