Sen. Kyrsten Sinema says she will 'be the same person' if 'Build Back Better' talks revived

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema vowed Tuesday to conduct herself in the same manner as she did during the "Build Back Better" negotiations of 2021 should Democrats try to revive the centerpiece of President Joe Biden's legislative agenda.

"What I can't tell you is if negotiations will start again or what they'll look like," Sinema, D-Ariz., said at an Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry luncheon at the Arizona Biltmore resort in Phoenix. "But what I can promise you is that I'll be the same person in negotiations if they start again that I was in negotiations last year."

Sinema told the business group that she remains opposed to raising taxes on corporations: "You all know, the entire country knows, that I'm opposed to raising the corporate minimum tax rate."

She also reiterated her opposition against "any tax policies that would put a brake on any type of economic growth or forestall business and personal growth for America's industries."

How about standing for something for a change?

[Joinfortmill]

1. VOTE. Make her irrelevant

[Carlitos Brigante]

2. Soooo, "useless" (not to her donors though...)? nt

[Wednesdays]

3. Well, that's reassuring.

[lagomorph777]

4. Once an asshole, always an asshole.

[LakeArenal]

5. And she calls herself a Democratic Senator. Blech!!🤮

[BlueIdaho]

6. So she's pro-aristocracy?

Bless her heart.

[PoliticAverse]

7. Well...

[onecaliberal]

8. But you working stiffs, she will raise taxes on all day long. This sorry excuse for a human is not

Not a D.

[Torchlight]

9. She and Manchin are the very definition of the

Minimum Required Effort to be a Democrat. Disappointing to see her holding steadfast to those little hobgoblins of foolish consistency she values so dearly.

Glad she's on our side(?).

[world wide wally]

10. She says that as if it's a good thing.

[lagomorph777]

11. I'll bet her constituents are thrilled at all the stuff she is keeping from them.

[Bettie]

12. In other words:

she'll never vote for any bill that might help non-megadonor people.

13. "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen...

... and philosophers and divines." Ralph Waldo Emerson in 'Self-Reliance', 1841.

It appears to me that Emerson anticipated Sinema. Read more about the quote and Emerson at the link below.

14. Maybe she and Manchin should PARTICIPATE IN THE WRITING OF THE BILL?

It's easy to stand outside and stamp your feet. Try and craft something that is acceptable to all 50 Dems.

EARN YOUR PAYCHECK, you weird dresser.

[shrike3]

15. Of course she will.

[Solly Mack]

16. Did anyone expect better of her?

[FoxNewsSucks]

20. I sure didn't.

Any more than I expect to ever see any of her defenders admit that we were right about her. And about Manchin.

[Celerity]

17. time for 10 OP's about no-impact protest votes to deflect from this open obstructionist wrecking

also this:

She also reiterated her opposition against "any tax policies that would put a brake on any type of economic growth or forestall business and personal growth for America's industries."

is the height of hypocrisy, as she has over and over complained about deficits/debt and also how too much spending/governmental investment has overcooked the economy

[Torchlight]

19. My grandad would often speak of people like her by saying

"but they're filtered, so they can't be bad for you" (in reference to the filtered cigs he mocked as nothing more than illusory safety while he was taking a drag off a Pall Mall).

[in2herbs]

18. How would the tax law have to be changed so that those who work for a living and are considered

employees of a corporation/business/industry can form a corporation based on their skills and become a business/industry in order to take advantage of corporate tax laws and Sinema's desire for "business and personal growth for America's industries"?

I pray she will not make it even through any primary and especially not be elected when her term is up.
