Kyrsten Sinema Announces she Will Not Run for re-Election

Tuesday, March 05, 2024

Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema announced Tuesday that she will not run for re-election this year, leaving the Senate after one term that saw her paint Arizona blue, leave the Democratic Party and play a key role in numerous legislative negotiations in a tightly divided Senate.

Sinema Isn't Running For Reelection

Let's her give her a hand, folks! Leaves her more time to shop for clown suits.

And here's the time she curtsied wearing a schoolgirl outfit (?) while voting against a minimum wage increase:

And another of some other sartorial abomination:

We will all be poorer for the loss.

After donning her next clown outfit, maybe she can get lost in the hall of mirrors and spend a couple weeks staring at her own reflection.

But would you pay to watch it?

Her curtsy was more enthusiastic than Trump's before the Saudi king. And, damn, I hope she was paid well to be a dummy for those get-ups.

As another shallow, grandstanding, egomaniacal brand builder departs Capitol Hill for the moolah troughs along K Street, all I can say is don't let the door, you know, on your way out ... oh, too late.

Ironic that the Senate's only openly bisexual member can't find a place in either party.

She burned her own bridges with the Democratic Party DBT2,
she was a back stabbing snake in the grass, and will NOT be
missed by any of the Democrats.

Like Manchin, if you constantly go against the Party, it is
tough imagining why you should remain in the Party. It is one
thing to have a difference of opinion, and quite another to stab
your party in the back (repeatedly) on some of its biggest votes.

Goodbye Felicia indeed...

Good riddance to that Republican piece of filth!

Good riddance to all centrist filth! The world is much better without the likes of John McCain. We sure missed a bullet when he was thwarted from becoming President. Not just in 2008. but also 2000!

Does one term in the Senate even land you at a good lobbying firm? What kind lf relationships and insight could she even exploit at this point?

#19 She could get a job with one company ( say Ford) and sell Chevys.

One of her best moments was her vote on the federal $15/hr minimum wage hike.

When her best moment was a vote in favor of poverty, I am afraid to ask what her worst moment is!

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said he will not miss Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) "at all," the Daily Beast reports.

Said Sanders: "We had zero Republican support. We had 48 people in the Democratic caucus prepared to transform this country on behalf of the working class of America. Two people, Sinema being one, Manchin the other, refused to support it. We couldn't pass it. So no, I will not miss Senator Sinema."
