AZ Senator Krysten Sinema hides from campaign staff in a public university bathroom

She’s an odd duck.

Here is the video. It’s shocking.

Crazy lady.

Original post though the OP said it was "SJWs" who followed her in, when it wasn't.

who the fuck follows someone into a bathroom to film it?

This is the proper headline and proper context.

DL should be ashamed of itself for letting that other thread confuse people.

I don’t think she is all there or she is so crooked that she just doesn’t give a flip. Either way I don’t think she is good for the course try and should resign due to all this embarrassment.

We’re stuck with her for 5 more years. I hope she gets primaried.

This is such a huge grift for her. Congrats. Winning a senate seat is not easy. She will be worth 25 million by the time she leaves. And there isn’t much we can do about it.

This is the proper thread to continue the discussion. The other thread is locking up. This one is smoother.

Carry on.

Bump

Those weren't her staffers. Jesus, do you not read the full article OP?

Yes they were her staffers. Did you not read the article?

Was John Cornyn with her?

She was with the Wide Stance guy.

Is there no requirement for town halls in the senate?

She is not a queen. She is a rep for the people.

Already a thread, idiot OP, and they weren't her "campaign staff". FF for posting misinformation.

Who keeps claiming they are not her staff? Maybe not anymore but they were on her campaign staff. Stop leaving that out.

You can’t just erase that they worked for her campaign. You can’t make it go away by wishing.

Bump

My hat goes off to these kids. Hold elected officials accountable for the power they're given.

Keep bumping this thread. The illigitimate one is grayed out but still being bumped by trolls.

What is her deal?

This is the better thread. Less “sticky” than the other one.

Thanks for the link, r4, I put that whole thread on ignore, it won't stick but maybe it'll help with the auto moderation.

The OP of that troll thread linked at r4 is Dejure, by the way, I didn't bother to look to see if she signed her post but that's definitely her.

We do what we can.

As I wrote before: I'll never again trust a pink-haired bisexual Nader voter.

Her campaign staff has every right to be pissed. Can you imagine knocking on doors for months, in the sweltering Arizona heat, risking being shot at by deplorables, and getting her elected and then having her betray you and not taking your calls?

I would be so PISSED!!!

Bringing this over from the other thread because it's important context. Read the whole Twitter thread--Sinema has cut off her constituents from all "legitimate" means of communicating with her.

Bring anything over from that other thread that is relevant. It’s sinking like a stone. If you want your comments heard, post them here. And don’t be so gullible next time.

A lot of smart people avoided that other thread or called it out because it was pure troll-bait.

DLers are in the habit of just using obvious troll threads to talk about topics, I guess it's out of laziness. Sometimes it's out of spite, like when I tried to get people to stop posting on a troll's thread a few days ago and got called a Nazi for it, and people said that pointing out trolls was worse than trolling.

Hopefully after the week without trolls and everyone realizing just how much shit Dejure causes (since she was the one who started the other trollbait thread) people will start paying more attention.

[quote]2 of her closest confidantes are said to be former Sen. trey Gowdy and current Sen. and slimy bastard, Ted Cruz

Read this on the other thread and wondered if it was true, and sure enough, she's friends with Gowdy and she considers Cruz and Mitt Romney to be "confidants."

R35 I think we’ve been played for fools by Krysten. She is clearly a libertarian/Republican. I don’t know how she pulled this off. Very slick.

Sinema ‘enjoying the attention, without putting out any policy’ expert asserts

[quote]Just as she had in Arizona, where she moved her desk next to the Republican Andy Biggs so they could make jokes about their colleagues, Sinema set out to make herself relevant in the GOP-dominated Senate chamber through relentless congeniality. She was a “social butterfly,” one conservative remarked early in her House tenure—the antithesis of the angry Marxist they’d been warned about. Sinema won over Republican colleagues on predawn runs along the National Mall and in bipartisan spin classes she taught in the House gym. (It was her friend Kevin McCarthy’s idea.) A Virginia Republican once spent an hour teaching her how to flip-turn in the House pool. Trey Gowdy became a close friend. As a senator, she now counts Mitt Romney and Ted Cruz as confidants.

[quote]Her pal Andy Biggs, now an ultra-MAGA congressman, celebrated the January 6 riot by voting to disenfranchise his entire state. Her friend Ted Cruz wanted to argue in the Supreme Court that Texas could throw out Pennsylvania’s electoral votes.

She was also friends with Russell Pearce, far-right author of the controversial anti-immigrant SB 1070 bill, and when her colleagues started a recall campaign against Pearce she refused to participate. Pearce was recalled anyway.

People try to paint her friendships with rightwingers (while she betrays and ignores lefties, liberals, Dems and her own constituents) as just her trying to cross the aisle, but I think they're projecting that onto her.

Another thing mentioned in that Mother Jones article is that early in her career, she could "make legislators cry" and her friends and colleagues thought that was good, but I have to wonder if she ever really did that, or if she simply acted like the lunatic that she is, and caused people to get frustrated or astonished by her behavior.

I'm not sure her talent for disruption was ever a calculated political move, I think it's an actual personality disorder, exacerbated by her clumsy attempts to make people think she's something she is not.

What a freak.

Fuck following her around in bathrooms, they should go to her house and pound on the door as they have done with McConnell. She’s got to leave the house sometime. Same with Manchin. There’s only one way off of a boat.

Who the hell pays money for her class?

Someone who acts & dresses like Sinema will not have a clean past. They’ve got to do a deep dive on her …sersly ….and dredge up everything so she’ll have to step down.

Arizona deserves her. What else can one say. Only in Arizona, folks.

R45, while AZ has a Republican governor? No.

I think she's tremendous.

I hate the name Kyrsten too

Fuck you, R49!

I hate always having to look up whether these idiots names are Christyn, Krysten, Kirsty, Kriystie, Kyrsty, Krysty, Kyra, Krystine, Kristin……

Anyway. K Sinema dresses like a fool in order to attract attention and to then attack those who notice her foolishness as being unfair.

Meanwhile, if a male senator dressed as outlandishly as Sinema……… he’d be Roger Stone.

Notice the similarities?

CUNT

I’m just glad we got the headline straight.

She's hot though

R54, just because she’s not fat does not mean she’s hot. Those teeth alone are the stuff of nightmares. They look like she asked for the “Mr. Ed” package at the cosmetic dentist’s.

She’s worn out and rough without the pan stick makeup.

No way she's a real Democrat. Talk about recall -- this bitch needs to be recalled for fraud. Replace her ass with Mark Kelly's twin brother.

She's not hot. She thinks she's hot, though.

"She's in the bathroom!"

I live in a blue county and we've had reports that GQP are trying to run as Democrats in local elections. I suspect that's the case with Sinema.

I believe it. She's very much like a Dem. MTG.

1) Dress like a carton character so people will notice you.

2] People notice yiu because you’re dressed like a cartoon charcuterie

3) Cry that anyone who criticizes your cartoon character clothing is a sexist. Claim nobody notices and comment on male senators’ clothing

4) Media too stupid to note that no male senators dress like cartoon characters

"She's on the toilet."

Sinema craves attention and wants these people to beg here. She refuses to advance her own proposal. She refuses to say what maximum monetary amount she would find acceptable. There is no good faith exhibited by her.

^her, not here

Wholly inappropriate 🤡

This dumb cunt is going to find herself hated by BOTH parties and dumped as soon as the recall of her gets going.

She'll suddenly have a "come to Jesus" moment but it will be too late. She's going to end up broke, hated and begging.

Almost every single one of these vile assholes refuse to meet their constituents. Every one.

When a handful of us showed up at our (heavily gerrymandered) congressional reps local office to talk about how the rethugs were trying to to repeal the ACA, that prick called security in us.

Sniveling little prick was "afraid" of a bunch of old lesbians. A few were so frail, they had canes and walkers and needed to be helped off the couch in his office.

Is there any chance that—whether out of conviction, greed, or mere spite—she'll switch parties, fending off a Republican primary challenge by going full-blown MAGAt?

Sinema ran for election supporting many of the proposed programs contained in the legislation. She is a hypocrite.

Sinema needs to feel stronger heat from Arizona Democrats and any others in AZ supporting the legislation.

Mark Barabak of the LA Times's take on her.

I thought you were talking about the fit of that sausage casing she's wearing, R66.

This Mark Barabak lets her off way too easy, especially in casting her as a maverick (others have already demolished the comparison to McCain) and a principled independent. Her arguments for the filibuster and against the $3.5 trillion (over ten years) infrastructure plan are weak. Look at the corporate donations she's getting and there's all the explanation you need.

As for the "makes liberals head explode" headline, that's just a straw man. She's blocking policies that are broadly popular in AZ and across the US, not just those of a "liberal" or "progressive" minority.

Non-American here. Is she the one with the titty pics of her and her female staffer (brushing her hair I think), with her husband knowing full well about the situation?

No, R74, that was a congresswoman who was forced to resign over the scandal. IIRC her estranged husband himself leaked the pictures to damage her career: a case of revenge porn. She's still active in politics from the sidelines, though.

Karma is come back to her and it’s gonna look like Lara Flynn Boyle, and no not from during Practice.

I want to speak to R76's manager, NOW!

R55 Her teeth are just fine. And she's hot.

She's said she wants to be a maverick like McCain, and her little bob-and-thumbs-down vote against raising the minimum wage was a kind of homage to his thumbs-down on repealing the Obamacare's mandate. But the difference is that AZ voters support raising the minimum wage even more than they oppose repealing Obamacare. Sinema doesn't flout her party for her consituents but for her corporate donors.

There is nothing ‘maverick’ about being immature and emotionally stunted. In fact, it’s becoming the norm.

Acting like a bratty teenager who is loving the undeserved attention is not “brave”.

Everybody knows at least one sulky brat who gives the silent treatment.

I thought she was a liberal SJW bisexual that is dating a woman.

She apparently even described herself as such early on, r36. I guess she used to run as an independent and said she hated Democrats. In that Mother Jones article she apparently told someone she changed her positions over the years because she didn't like to lose elections. She's always been this way.

She's always been more independent than party-bound, but she hasn't always been more conservative than liberal. She started out with the Green Party, which is overall to the left of the Democrats on economic and environmental issues; now she's voting with conservatives on those issues. She started out pro-democracy; now she vehemently supports the filibuster. Where substance is concerned she's moved towards corporations and Republicans.

[quote]she apparently told someone she changed her positions over the years because she didn't like to lose elections

Well, if she thinks her ratings at R82 and her voting against AZ voters, refusing to meet with constituents, etc. is going to help her win elections, she may be taking the wrong tack.

These claims of her "reaching across the aisle" are bullshit. Chris Murphy works with Republicans on legislation, while also supporting popular progressive policies—to take just one example in the Senate. Sinema is just a sell-out.

I’ve seen enough. She really is what everyone is saying she is. This is not a pile on. She actually is a huge asshole. She really does not care one iota about her state or it’s citizens.

At least other politicians pretend to care.

She is basically a dream come true for lobbyists.

If she was making friends with Democrats AND Republicans then that would be one thing, but you only see her hanging around with other Republicans.

At least it seems some journalists are doing some digging.

Those citations of Agamben are pretty boilerplate for a thesis in political science (and adjacent fields); there's nothing noteworthy about them.

Kyrsten needs help from Senatrix Lindzebelle to learn how to feminize and soften her attire, speak eloquently, and sashay like a proper lady.

I have to disagree with TYT’s Cenk Ugyur. He said that they were out of line for following her into the restroom. He said that they should have gone to her office. Why, so they could be thrown out by security? If she had agreed to give them an audience, it wouldn’t have come to following her to the toilet and listening to her cut a loaf.

Cenk and his team articulate the anger and other feelings of progressive Democrat voters. But as the Republicans are showing us, the days of diplomacy and mediation are over. People don’t listen to nice anymore…he knows this.

We don't need two Sinema threads. The first one was fine.

Did you start that one r92?

Read the thread, r92. The other one had a false headline and was started by a rightwing troll.

[quote]Cenk and his team articulate the anger and other feelings of progressive Democrat voters. But as the Republicans are showing us, the days of diplomacy and mediation are over. People don’t listen to nice anymore…he knows this.

I doubt very much whether this experience has made Sinema more likely to listen to reason. If anything, it's made her dig in her heels even harder. Which is what this behavior always does. It feels good to those screaming and yelling in bathrooms and restaurants and in front of private houses, and to the people who support them, but it doesn't actually accomplish anything -- and it may in fact be counterproductive.

Corn? When did I have corn?

She was telling us THEN, so she wouldn't have to tell us NOW.

She’s obviously a bitch. Nobody likes her anymore.

Never trust bi people.

[quote]Is there any chance that—whether out of conviction, greed, or mere spite—she'll switch parties, fending off a Republican primary challenge by going full-blown MAGAt?

I can see her and Manchin both doing this, just to twist the knife. When Sinema does it, she'll probably dress up like Nellie Oleson and stick out her tongue.

It was a PUBLIC bathroom. Even if she was meeting with her campaign team and her constituents then they same thing would have happened because it is a Public bathroom. The woman is crazy.

She is a nutter. She is turning on her constituents. If you bump into someone at the public bathroom or public area, don't you say, hi I need to meet with you. She is the one that is refusing to meet with people, which is her FUCKING JOB.

What she's doing right now is exerting white supremacy over her Hispanic constituents & holding up progress on a bill she knows will benefit a lot of minorities across this country. That's exactly what she's doing at the moment.

Joe Manchin too. This is a form of white supremacy.

The only way to remove people like her and Manchin from ever rearing their ugly heads in politics is to dig up some serious dirt on them. In both their cases, it shouldn't be all that hard. And those who still bemoan the fact that then the governors will appoint Republican replacements - how does that change current configuration? Murkowski is more likely to occasionally vote with Democrats than either of these two assholes.

[quote]And those who still bemoan the fact that then the governors will appoint Republican replacements - how does that change current configuration?

Mitch McConnell would become Majority Leader and set the rules.

All the senators think they are kings and queens, its just a f ing money racket ! Senators should be representing their people. Once they get elected they dont

He's essentially setting them now. Have you missed this?

[quote]Mitch McConnell would become Majority Leader and set the rules.

And immediately remove the filibuster so he can ram through the stuff he wants passed.

r99 People dont like the truth, but there is a link to dark triad traits for (especially female) bisexuals.

Stalked and harassed by an illegal alien telling our country how to give her rights. Charge her with a crime and deport.

These are illegals that followed her in. They are nasty people.

Fuck u R111 they are dreamers

Even Manchin met with the kayakers in his boat and addressed their concerns. Even though it's all bullshit. She runs and hides and won't speak to anyone.

[quote] She'll suddenly have a "come to Jesus" moment but it will be too late. She's going to end up broke, hated and begging.

You are quite the fool.

She’s going to be rich for the rest of her life. She’s be a lobbyist, an investor, a tv pundit, a political analyst, a member of corporate boards & churches, an author. She has a bright future ahead of her. Six years in the senate is a coveted bargaining chip when job hunting, especially among conservative military contracting corporations

These people come here with no love for this country but do love the hand outs they get from a party that is looking for votes so they can get rich. Wake up. Illegals have little to no education, many highest level of education is third grade. If they had to fight for this country they would not. Many hate Americans but they sure don’t mind when our taxes are raised taking away the money we have to work for to give to them for all kinds of stuff. Our insurance rates are sky high due to this crap. A lot of them have diabetes and drink beer like it’s going out of style, 48 and more cans a day, and have all sorts of infections from diabetes, common among them. Who is paying for their endless trips to the hospitals? Americans. Many have need for dialysis and don’t go to the clinics for dialysis till they are hauled into the er and onto to the icu for emergent dialysis costing millions of dollars to the American public. They eventually die and there’s thousands more parading in to live on your dime . Of course none of them bother with masks are not vaccinated, some have covid and on the trail in are living cheek to jowl with each other in squalor but no word for the press on that one, but hey you American wear your mask and get that jab! Oh and btw do come on in all you criminals because there is money and handouts here for you.

[quote] I have to disagree with TYT’s Cenk Ugyur. He said that they were out of line for following her into the restroom.

He doesn’t understand women. [italic] We will cut a bitch in the bathroom [/italic] y’all. It’s how we operate from middle school onward. You got a beef, you get in the bathroom where I’m gonna talk to you.

“I have something to say to you — get your ass in the bathroom after 5th period. [italic] Be there. [/italic]”

You either be there, or you run. But you don’t run *into* the bathroom.

Young females have no respect for your “bathroom is private” 1950s rules. They’re watching Tik Tok …in the bathroom

R115 is insane

how dare woman go into a public bathroom, says no one who has thought through this. this sinema bitch is causing so much problems, i hate her.

woman in are in the public bathroom talking. Of course, they are. What is this?

[quote] She started out with the Green Party,

More proof that the Green Party is the Stooge Party. And the stooges aren’t innocents who don’t know it’s a fake party to win elections for right wingers.

They totally fucking know who they are & what they’re doing.

Glenn Greenwald. Jill Stein. K Sinema. These are not stupid people who accidentally wandered into a plot. They’re full time agents.

You know what’s sad? Maria Butina. The tv show The Americans showed Kerri Russell as this dedicated Russian communist who would do anything for the USSR. Including being a whore. But I think honey traps aren’t dedicated agents. I think they’re blackmailed into it by their handlers. Their families are threatened or something. So they have no choice.

Who would you rather be? Maria Butina or Jill Stein? Maria Butina or K Sinema? Butina is a lower caste agent. Stein & Sinema are primo.

what are the chances that R115 isn't a Native American but an immigrant? 2nd generation, 3rd generation whatever, but still a fucking immigrant himself.

R120 yes! They are some kind of agent provocateur group.

R120. Ralph Nader & the Green Party helped G. W. Bush become President in 2000.

The Green Party began as a pro-environment organization. It has become Republican enablers and Putin assets.

Why would they side with Republicans? They are anti-environment, anti climate change. It makes no sense to side with a party that hates everything you represents and vice versa.

It sounds like the Green Party tell independents what they want to hear...their most important issues to get votes for them...to take away votes from Democrats. They help repubs in that way. I stick with the two major parties...well now, one major party with a D.

I see them as a bait and swith party...the Green Party. ^^

*switch...fuck, need an edit here...

The Green Party might be a little more left leaning on some issues that some people, who might normally vote Democrat...but feel the Dems aren't left leaning enough, so they'll vote Green. It takes away votes from Democrats. Most likely, a Green Party candidate will never win an election. They're a diversion.

Did you go to school in the ghetto r116? My school was not like that at all.

My stars, r126! I thought I was getting my very own party there for a minute! The "bait and swish" party!

Wow!

She has stabbed every Arizonan who helped her over the last 20 years (and I know a few) in the back. I wish the worst upon her. Karma is a bitch and so is she.

I always see her last name as ‘Smegma’.

Is she a sleeper agent or what tf is going on here?

They should destroy her surname like they did Rick Santorum’s.

Do the same thing with Manchin’s too.

She doesn’t care. She is playing a different game like Jill Stein was.

She is immune from criticism because the American people are not her boss. She doesn’t work for us.

Focus on malignant ovaries.

Huh?

Somethings up here. It stinks. And not just the bathroom.

Chris Murphy is sexy.
