Sinema Stops Biden's Plan To Nationalize Federal Election Laws

2021-12-24

Bless the woman for her perspicacity and honour.

[TRENDINGPOLITICS] As 2022 approaches, Democrats are privately and publicly expressing their frustration with two of their U.S. Senators who continue to back crucial legislation from passing.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema

...Dem senatrix from Arizona. She began her political career in the Arizona Green Party and rose to prominence for her progressive advocacy, supporting causes such as LGBTQ rights and opposing the war on terror. She left the Green Party to join the Arizona Democratic Party in 2004 and was elected to a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2012. After her election, she joined the New Democrat Coalition, the Blue Dog Coalition and the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, amassing one of the most conservative voting records in the Democratic caucus. She won the 2018 Senate election to replace the retiring Jeff Flake, defeating Republican nominee Martha McSally. Sinema is the first openly bisexual (meaning she's not particular) and the second openly LGBT woman to be elected to the House of Representatives and to the Senate in 2012 and 2018, respectively. She also was the first woman elected to the Senate from Arizona....
(D-AZ) recently wrecked President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences. So does Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle......
’s hopes of destroying federal election integrity laws by not supporting HR1 or ending the Senate filibuster. Senator Joe Manchin
...Dem senator-for-life from West Virginia. Manchin is one of the approximately one (okay, two) Dem senators who exhibits more integrity than Jello, often even representing his constituents...
(D-WV) just crushed Biden’s hope of getting his Build Back Better (BBB) massive spending bill passed.

Biden has been pushing to radically federalize elections, in spite of the Constitution.

"If we can get the congressional voting rights done, we should do it. ... There’s nothing domestically more important than voting rights," said Biden.

Sinema has also singlehandedly burst Biden’s desperate attempt to weaken election integrity laws by stating she will protect the 60-vote filibuster threshold.

Fifty Senate votes are needed to trash the filibuster. If the filibuster is terminated, a simple majority vote could be held to destroy election laws.

#10 "How apt was it that the West Virginian senator's gift to Joe Biden and the rest of the Dems was a lump of coal?"

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

#9 Another Christmas gift to go with Manchin's. Kurt's on a roll today - enjoy:

Our Appalachian brothers and sisters are hardly going to get excited about being driven into poverty by the BBB's climate hoax insanity just so some coastal swells can obtain indulgences from Gaia to excuse their private jets.

And the sturdy, sensible folks of the hilltops and hollows are unlikely to be persuaded by the ravings of a pack of skeeves better suited to riding around in a panel van offering puppies and free candy to passing pre-teens.

#7 Jeeze. Think of all the lefties who wish they voted for Flake.

#6 So they can get Romney & Murkowski instead...

They would have gotten Flake if not for Sinema. We need more Democrats like her and Manchin.

#5 perhaps some Fentanyl cut for the Alaskan Snowblower?

#4 ^ If she knows she's on the way out, she could be sorta vindictive.

#3 From what I’m reading Murkowski is DOA in this coming election
The polling is really bad for her
She won’t make it out of the primaries

#2 I think now that the tea leaves say the senate will flip republican after the next election, the sob sisters (Collins, Murkowski, Romney) realize Mitch may be in a position to make their lives miserable. They may actually go "enlightened self-interest" for a change.
