Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) had a message for her Democratic colleagues before she flew home to Arizona for the weekend: She's preserving her options.

Why it matters: Sinema has leverage and she knows it. Any potential modification to the Democrat's climate and deficit reduction package — like knocking out the $14 billion provision on carried interest — could cause the fragile deal to collapse.

[PJ-Comix]

This Bill Back Broke II bill has already been rated as inflationary.

[PJ-Comix]

BTW, the Democrats are going to toss Sinema in 2024 no matter how she votes on this so she might as well do the right thing.

Is she looking for an upscaled bribe to vote yes?

Is she looking for an upscaled bribe to vote yes?

The problem is, anything they promise has to be delivered before she votes.

They are notorious cheaters and liars, and she knows they are.

What can they offer her, which she does not have?

What place does she have in a CCP run world?

Where is her place in the Globalist World Economic Forum system?

What gives her a better position, than the one she holds now?

[skeeter]

But she also knows that a progressive challenger, like Rep. Rueben Gallego, is all but guaranteed in 2024 if she's held responsible for killing the Democrats best shot at a climate bill in years.

It won't be "progressive" support she'll be needing to win the general election.

[gibsonguy]

It may be she wants to strip out the few good things that are in it.

Sinema knows she owes her political career to the McCain type Maricopa County political machine. She is doing their bidding, and she represents the Uniparty in the Senate.

[McGavin999]

She will switch parties and get the McCain machine to back her. That way she’ll win her next election and be a female McCain in the senate forevermore

[Starboard]

Yep, any post deal promises are null and void. Words mean nothing.

[Sacajaweau]

Bet she wants the minimum 15% struck, too.

[dynachrome]

Maybe she will get a high paying job on MSNBC.

[Sacajaweau]

Don't forget....Senators must be IN CHAMBERS for any vote. Bet they're not even testing Dems now...until after a vote...or simply lying about any test.

Who just had hip surgery??

God might be watching...

[kabar]

Suspect she will oppose 15% minimum corporate tax.

How does that make sense?

[bigbob]

it doesn’t, she won’t

[Flaming Conservative]

Finestein hasn’t been in chambers for months. Nor has Leahy, who broke his hip. How are they getting 50 votes every time they vote?

[PJ-Comix]

Nor has Leahy, who broke his hip.

Actually he just returned. News report has him checked out of rehab and back in his VA home.

[McGavin999]

Believe me it does.

[SmokingJoe]

Nope.
It just doesn’t.
