If we can't handle her at her worst, we don't deserve her at her best
What if we can't handle her at her best?
Then we deserve her at her worst?
That’s a weird way to spell “conceited cunt.”
Yeah for sure. Thinks she is better than everyone for no reason.
doesn't care one bit if she wins re-election
= Fuck you
"I can go on any board I want to."
= I got mine
What a lovely sentiment from a public servant.
Ahh the conservative mantra.
Just like DeSantis post-2025, I'll boycott and badmouth any company that hires her stupid ass.
Odds are you already are.
This asshole cares more about her post-Senate media career than doing the right thing by her constituents.
Everyone saw her cute little thumbs-down to paying people a living wage; she shouldn't earn one either. Unfortunately the corporate media loves "moderates" like Sinema, so I guarantee she'll get a cozy gig from MSNBC or FOX.
She then ran up begging for Mitch McConnell's attention and he ignored her till she slinked away.
To be fair, he could have just been having one of his quiet moments to himself.
McConnell was rebooting.
As you age, the WiFi becomes less effective, leading to more moments of buffering.
What a smug asshole. Saved the Senate...wtf?
It's nice that she is making the cash grab obvious.
In the interests fairness sinema wasn't directly quoted saying this. From the article:
According to reporter McKay Coppins's new book, "Romney: A Reckoning," Sinema once told Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah that she could "do anything" once she's out of office and feels that what she's done in the Senate is "good enough."
So the "quote" in the title isn't even hers, but a paraphrasing in first person? That's grade A bullshit.
As an Arizonan it is my life's mission to make sure she loses.
Don't forget to trash her post career too.
Unfortunately, she's got a point. Her owners paid for the service and they'll leave the money on the nightstand.
Doesn't surprise me that she's a deluded narcissist.
funny when terrible people put it in writing themselves. it would be more funny if she didnt fuck over a ton of people in the process
To be e fair. This is from a book about mitt Romney. She wasn't being quoted directly.
Delusional.
It's narcissistic and douchey. But it's unfortunately not delusion. It's hard to deny she had an impact. She wreaked havoc in the Senate. And now she has a golden ticket to go on to sit on boards, be ceo of something, or just be a public speaker and get paid shit tonnes of money. The system is set up for Senators
If this is accurately reported then it definitely shows her priorities. I'm not going to lie I'm nervous that a threeway Arizona Senate race is going to make Keri lake a senator. We'll see when the race heats up.

Saved the senate? For who?
Her and manchin publicly argue that getting rid of the filibuster would allow republicans to gut the social safety net when/if they take control of government. I think that's a bad argument though because there's always another election and if Republicans did do that then votes could put Democrats back in power to restore and/or improve everything.
I guess we could flip flop on stuff like that but the folks screwed over during the interim are going to have a really bad time.
Of course that's also assuming some Democrats aren't convinced (💰) to go along and we never get these program back. And if we do then we lose them again when the Republicans manage to up their voter suppression & gerrymandering game.

Except it takes a lot more time, effort and money to rebuild something than it does to destroy it.
As the Bigen administration is currently experiencing.

So she connived her way into power purely for the clout and opportunities it would give her, I guess that's pretty par for the course.

The last part of that sentence is unfortunately true.
I bet she doesn't. What a greedy dickhead.
Who?
Sounds pretty arrogant.
I thought we had "revolving door" policies at the federal level. Maybe that's something we need to have, like a lot of other things.
My understanding is that they're are no limitations on members of Congress after they leave office. Trump did put a ban on people on his administration becoming lobbyists, I think it was a five year ban, but he rescinded it towards the end of his term.
It's pretty sad that my state ethics process is stricter than the federal government's.
