The Washington Post reports that Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema signed on to the “Inflation Reduction Act”—which provides funding for climate change/health care. Her demand? She blocked taxes on the wealthiest and on corporations that pay nothing. Why is she a Democrat?
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) said she would “move forward” on a revised version of Senate Democrats’ health care, climate and deficit-reduction package, after party leaders agreed to scale back some of their original tax proposals.
The new approach — along with other changes to the proposal known as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 — satisfied Sinema’s chief concerns and helped set in motion a plan to approve it as soon as this weekend.
In a statement, Sinema said Democrats had “agreed to remove” a key tax targeting wealthy investors and had made changes to a second provision that aims to impose a new minimum tax on corporations that currently pay nothing to the U.S. government. From here, Sinema said she would await a final review from the chamber’s parliamentarian — a critical step in the process that allows Democrats to move their spending bill — at which point she would “move forward.”

this removes the very last justification for identity politics. Sinema is a disgrace and proof that women can and will be as corrupt as the worst man.
I hope she retires soon to be a lobbyist for one of her masters. After all she is obviously chasing the almighty dollar.
Money, special interests! This is why it is so difficult to get any legislation that impacts the super wealthy. So many representatives work for them, not the people.
Raw Story reports that Sinema got this favor for the hedge fund managers:
“Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) announced she will “move forward” after preserving the carried interest tax loophole that is primary used by hedge fund managers.”
Let’s see: Kyrsten Sinema/Elise Stefanik; Elise Stefanik/Kyrsten Sinema.
Witch is witch?
(Or a word that rhymes w/witch.)
If, as I hope, the republicans will be smacked with an enormous surprise due to the Kansas style power of women who are fed up with arrogant men taking way too much for granted—–and democrats have a senate and house able to legislate—–they might try that as their presidential ticket. They could run as office managers for important men.
I looked it up and found that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) is a member of the Bilderberg group. This group wants to control everything.

Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg Meeting is an annual conference designed to foster dialogue between Europe and North America. Every year, between 120-140 political leaders and experts from industry, finance, labour, academia and the media are invited to take part in the Meeting. About two thirds of the participants come from Europe and the rest from North America; approximately a quarter from politics and government and the rest from other fields.
The Bilderberg Meeting is a forum for informal discussions about major issues. The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor any other participant may be revealed.
Thanks to the private nature of the Meeting, the participants take part as individuals rather than in any official capacity, and hence are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken and no policy statements are issued.

This is veering way into conspiratorial nonsense. There is nothing sinister about this. Nor does it have any impact on us. No one is pulling strings orchestrating events behind the scenes. Real conspiracies see the light of day eventually, as the January 6 Committee is demonstrating. Please do not fall for this.
The common goal of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderberg Group is the creation of a one world government with a central global financial system. The two groups work together. The Council on Foreign Relations works on the U.S. side with the Bilderberg Group working on the European side…
The enormous growth in the global population and its continued increase is not sustainable over the long term. One way the Bilderberg Group can reduce the human population is by causing pandemics. Biological agents can be intentionally used to cause a major outbreak of illness, which kills millions. Many of the super elite have so little concern for the masses that they consider this the same as culling a herd of animals…
The censorship goals of the Bilderberg Group are to make views popular by hiding the group’s real intent so that these views become public policy. After that, they can pressure governmental leaders and push them in the directions they want them to follow. These are propaganda campaigns that are carefully designed to create public opinion in order to protect corporate power…
Some of the top Hollywood film directors are of interest to the Bilderberg Group. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon is also a member. Amazon is building out a digital streaming system for television and films as well as producing their own content. Being able to guide global culture is a form of subtle mind control that can be very effective…
US$ billions are spent on wars and the Bilderberg Group members benefit tremendously. The USA has been in so many wars since WW II because it is big business…
Ultimately, the main goal for members of the Bilderberg Group is to keep amazing huge sums of money and gain increasing power to eventually dominate the entire globe….
Nevertheless, the goal of the Bilderberg Group is one world government with one global marketplace. The people are to be kept in check by a one world army and use a single global currency controlled by a one world bank. The end goal is no less than complete world domination…

Simp!y put, Sinema is looking out for Sinema.
She stands to make a pretty penny after she leaves office off her hedge fund shilling.
As Nancy Pelosi has said, the Democratic party is a big tent. That’s why they welcome and support and endorse anti-choice candidates. YAY!
People who think the Dems are their saviors are no different than folks who think the GOP is their savior.
Well, Laura, I’m
Glad to see you are no longer using my name and attaching it to your rants against the Democratic Party. The Democrats are not perfect—who is?—but they do not include lunatic fascists like the GOP. They do not celebrate European fascists. They do not rant against teachers, calling them pedophiles. They do not worship guns and killers.
You should be posting on the blog of Steve Bannon or Alex Jones, not here.
Yes, Sinema is a thorn in Dems’ side. OTOH hand she is marginally better than a Rep senator [and will probably be replaced by one in 2 yrs]– she has voted to confirm all Biden’s nominated judges [& Justice Jackson].
Yep, and with the Senate tied 50/50, the Dems need Sinema.
On the other hand, if people would not blame the Dems for Sinema, but would EMPOWER the 48 other Dems by talking positively about what the Dems would do if they no longer needed need Sinema and Manchin, then so much more could get done.
But I expect the same folks who were delighted to have Trump appoint 3 Supreme Court Justices because they believed having a far right Supreme Court is a small price to pay for their wonderful progressive “victory” in defeating the so-called evil Democrat running against Trump in 2016. They got the progressive “victory” they wanted – which not coincidentally turns out to be the exact same victory that the neo-fascist far right white supremacists wanted!
I expect to hear non-stop posts blaming “the Dems” for not getting a better bill. They would rather have nothing if they can’t have everything immediately. And then they would be bashing “the Dems” for doing nothing. The bottom line is that the only progressive victory these useful idiots ever recognize is one that defeats the Dems and empowers the Republicans. Or maybe they have always been right wing Republicans who post here professing to care about issues that progressives care about while their real agenda is to push a narrative that progressives should hate the Dems and defeating the Dems is a victory so much sweeter than defeating a Republican party that has become full-on anti-democratic.
