WASHINGTON—Arguing the procedure was an invaluable legislative tradition that she would be hard pressed to do away with, Sen.enate filibuster Friday as necessary for her to stay politically relevant. “For years, the S
enate filibuster has been a critical tool that senators like myself have used in order to propel ourselves out of obscurity and into the spotlight,” said Sinema, adding that the ability to delay or block a bill protected a time-honored system in the United States government that had given her undue power based on a lack of proportional representation.
Something tells me she knows the writing is on the wall for her senate career as a Democrat. She blocked passage of voting rights, wage increase. Big Pharma & Koch industries owns her votes.
JoyVBehar Sinema understands right from wrong! Thank goodness!
JoyVBehar Go watch 2000 mules
JoyVBehar It's not as if Will Smith shot and killed someone on a movie set like what Alec Baldwin did.
JoyVBehar 👎👎👎
JoyVBehar THANK GOD YOU AND SEN MANCHIN ARE SANE DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN PROGRAMMED BY THESE PROGRESSIVES WHO AIM TO DESTROY AMERICA AND MAKE US COMMUNISTS!!!
JoyVBehar At least she is relevant, even in a joking manner. You are not relevant at all so....it could be worse. I mean she could be you.
Good grief.
JoyVBehar I guess JoyVBehar is oblivious to what is. Ha ha. Maybe she would like the Babylon Bee
JoyVBehar REMEMBER: 2M illegal immigrants entered the US in 2021. Biden gave them money and housing in hopes of passing this legislation. This was a power grab to disenfranchise Americans. Kristen and Joe will be long remembered as saving our republic. retweet BidenWorstPresidentEver
MissCassee Please! Sinema believes in fairness and doesn’t feel democrats need to CHEAT THE WAY THEY DO!Biden & HO are the most DISGUSTING & DANGEROUS pos this country has seen since Obama!
speckiemom Sinema knows that the filibuster, the required 60% and the lack of voter freedom is inconsistent with democracy. She also knows that she will lose the support of her rich friends if she doesn't continue to oppose these things.
JoyVBehar She did the right thing ! We wouldn't want dictators now would we ? You go Chucky defend that filibuster! To do away with it is a rubber stamp to dictatorship ! Whew strong words ! . 😂 Hypocrites
Sinema is competing with her comrade Tulsi Gabbard for most appearances on Fox. It's time for Democrats to start primarying those who rock the boat. We don't want to get too Trump ish,but we know what these cowards do when u threaten to deprive them of lordship.
JoyVBehar Can’t the Dems primary her?
JoyVBehar what bull sh-t
JoyVBehar You make no sense as usual 👎
jashead If she wants to be relevant she should get a Marsha Blackburn hair do.
JoyVBehar
JoyVBehar Now you’re quoting the fake news onion?
JoyVBehar BS!
JoyVBehar Let us not forget
Dear_Mr_Putin I miss when your news was satire. 😔
The filibuster is LITERALLY just stalling for time and obstructing progress. It's whole design is to ensure that nothing gets done. Did this woman really say she wouldn't exist without the ability to waste people's time? Also, because of her name, Twitter wants to talk movies.
What Trump promised her ?
I thought was supposed to be sarcastic news parody. You've lost your touch because this is the gospel truth! 🧐
Exactly, it’s what her constituents voted her in for.
Bye Falisha👋👋👋👋 SinemaEndsDemocracy SinemaForSale JohnLewisVotingRightsAdvancementAct VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
The onion has a better take on her logic than the serious guys
When The Onion is more critical of Democrats than CNN….
The Most Credible Headline Ever!
damn. i used to think the onion wasnt horrible
OMG how did you know? Sinema wants to run for POTUS in 2024. So delusional.
The Onion has fallen pretty low these days
I’m sure Senator Sinema and Manchin are being paid off by Republicans and lobbyists(legal bribes) getting rich to not allow voting rights or the build back better plan to pass. They are only looking out for themself.
JoyVBehar Not in AZ😂
parodyfail
Please sit down Senator Sinema.
blocking Sinema.
This lady can run on GOP platform next election
Absolutely pitiful
If anyone wants to give Sen. Sinema a call and let her know what you think... (202) 224-4521
I don't if I want to be represented by one who needs this to be relevant... Since Conway says what she said everything went downhill !!
Well, well, well, Sinema is showing her stupidity on full blast. This must be her last term knowing she is not fighting for the people who put her in office.
When it's the truth, it's not really satire.
She’s got balls. 🤣🤣🤣
StoptheSteal PASS JohnLewisVotingRightsAct and FreedomToVoteAct 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That's actually FALSE. Getting rid of the filibuster, she'd get even more relevant for casting so many more decisive votes.
The onion is now just journalism now because there's no room left for satire
I thought the Onion only wrote fake articles, this is way too on the nose
But it actually makes her less relevant. If they removed the filibuster, voted could pass with 50
She's only relevant if AZ Democrats vote for her - Which they won't - Which wouldn't matter even if they did because the AZ GOP won't count THOSE votes
This woman is very dangerous to American democracy, she needs to be controlled and taken down a few notches. She is a female Trump, high on herself and her own power. Nothing but trouble.
Paula10380409 Krysten Sinema has never shown any compassion since she's been in the Senate. She always appears cold except when she has the spotlight. She and Manchin would rather work with Republicans than Biden or Dems. When R's were in power; they didn't give a care about either of them.
Another disease that boldly calls itself the cure
Very weak argument. Voting Rights are in our Constitution. The filibuster isn't. This is a racist issue for Sinema and she prefers 💰. She sold her soul to the devil. She should not be wearing a Crucifix.
Obviously Putin had two sleepers in the SenateDems and they have now been activated to destroy America's democracy Quisling Kyrsten Sinema SenatorSinema KyrstenSinema Joe Manchin Sen_JoeManchin VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy VoteBlueToSaveAmerica VoteBlueToSaveTheWorld
Take her out!
So she says she’s doing it to be bipartisan 🤣💦 nah the GOP has something on you doll it’s not integrity or your own constituents desires that are motivating you.
Who knows what PRECLEARANCE is? It’s from the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The Supreme Court invalidated that part of the act in 2013 - Shelby-vs-Holder. So extreme racial gerrymandering is now legal. The John Lewis VRA will make this illegal again. FILIBUSTER
Not canceling student debt, not passing parental leave, not doing anything on health care, not raising the min wage, not taxing billionaires, not cutting military spending, not passing universal pre-K & not passing voter rights. TheDemocrats Leadership doing what they do.
Her need for relevance is more important than voting rights. 🤢SenatorSinema
Krysten Sinema needs to replaced in the primaries, there's no excuse for her actions. Taking dark money & voting against anything that would help Americans shouldn't be tolerated by dems. Her & Manchin r fake Democrat s 🙄
Politically relevant to whom, certainly not her constituents or the millions of Americans who will be cheated out of their votes? Her priorities, all about self-interest...which will result in her bring primaried, forced to switch parties. Go for it..
Yea
Bing f-ing O.
What? Word salad. I bet if you asked her what she means, she can't answer, as evidenced by the viewofficial interview and Sunny Housten's question. PrimarySinemaAZ
DeanObeidallah G damn her. Call her nonstop. Call DNC nonstop. Protest at her offices & house.
AccountableInAZ PrimarySinemaAZ 💯💯
Can you imagine caving in to someone like McConnell? 😬 Sinema: Sure, we'll lose our precious democracy and become another totally screwed up totalitarian sh*thole nation where human rights no longer exist... but at least we won't be divided.
If she opposes something/anything you know the legislation is the right path forward.
Still reporting the actual news, eh, The Onion?
Totally selfish, sad. We all lose. How did this happen? Goodbye American dream.
joncoopertweets If that’s all you’ve got resign Samena !!!!
joncoopertweets who's going to tell her SHE IS NOT relevant
joncoopertweets Oh! She’s relevant now? Wasn’t aware she was! 🤣🤣🤣
joncoopertweets 😂truth hurts
joncoopertweets Thanks I needed that.
bannerite Mighty evil greedy narcissistic super rich have bought their politicians to take over and they found whole bunch with no soul or shame
😂 true story.
LOL - what a joke
This doesn’t make sense though? Filibuster says you need 60 votes. She and Manchin could only get the Dems to 50, right? She’d be way more powerful without the filibuster.
This coulda passed as real. Lol
Senators holding on to the filibuster are like aggressive guys in a bar who stand behind a friend and yell 'Don't hold me back!' but really are too scared to fight
Sinema- since “The Big Lie” & Trump & his followers who can & will partake in insurrection. Trump’s play book shows way break US Constitution. Democracy is fragile we need to have basic voting rules we assume we had. Count every vote & certify the every single vote.
Satire where?
Snicker bar Kyrsten
Well, get on the floor and start talking...
ngl this is savage
Who?
not sure if satire...
RussellFosterTX SenatorSinema was a wasted vote.
The Onion has been steamin as of late
I SO wish that your content was satire as opposed to actual factual news
Oof.
This isn't really satire lol Sinema's job is to please her owner donors by stopping any progress and the filibuster is their best weapon.
The Onion has run out ideas so it’s posting truth.
The onion is not satire anymore
Sexy smart and bisexual love this social justice warrior .. maybe next time don’t follow her into the stall ..
this is true, but what's extra annoying is that if Sinema actually cared at all about policy, abolishing the filibuster would make her MORE powerful and relevant. She would actually be able to shape major legislation instead of just keeping the passage of any near-impossible.
KnowNothingTV kyrstensinema SenatorSinema it should be really embarrassing for you that The Onion came up with this.
JesseBaggs I saw this lol.
I thought the onion was supposed to be funny
Oh rofl the Onion! You stealthy, stealthy mofos!! 🤣
This plus Manchin
i hope she is forever stuck between the 'aahhhh' and the 'choo' of a sneeze
kyrstensinema SenatorSinema jlabomb
Vote so that women becomes irrelevant. Maybe that is what she wants
Well it’s not all about her! It’s about her constituents, which she does not seem to care about! Let’s be honest, it’s all about the Benjamin’s to her! She needs to do her job and listen to those who put her there!
johncusack 😂yep
If the democrats don’t pass the voting bill, there will be no more democrats that get elected… you won’t lose your job because of votes.. you will lose your job for an autocrat. There will be no more elections if you don’t pass this bill… open your eyes before it’s too late
Kyrsten Sinema
PrimarySinemaAZ Kyrsten Sinema is Ambassador to BigOil. She'll always have that.
LMAO. For the realz.
I thought this was supposed to be a satire site?
So let’s make her not political relevant or important . All she is a Republican implant
“The fate of the nation is nowhere near as important as my relevancy!”
Relevant/Rich whichever
We’re a coalition of Arizonans organizing a primary against Kyrsten Sinema. What to join the movement? Simply give us a follow.
You guys aren't supposed to write factually true headlines.
thank you for your service Kyrsten (not your stylist tho)
Since when does the onion post real news?
mehdirhasan Many a truth is spoken, in jest.
SenMarkKelly are you wavering on your vote for a filibuster carve out like was just reported on MSNBC? Have you seen the havoc kyrstensinema has been wreaking on our democracy? Please tell me you stand with the democrats who voted you in. I'll be withholding further donations.
I wish this were satire.
The filibuster is what makes the Senate relevant.
Damn rich people own all the Manchins and Sinemas Sen_JoeManchin SenatorSinema RichGetRicher
In the words of Fat Tony D’Amico, “it’s funny because it’s true”.
Her net worth before running for office was $32,000 now it over $1,000,000 in 2 years after being elected to the senate. MoscowMitch has been in the senate for decades making $172,000 per year; his net worth is over $250,000,000. Corruption The Senate is the ticket to the .01%
This... isn't satire or a joke. This is just the news. Onion how you have fallen.
LOL! She will never be elected again by a Dem....
This is a funny headline that, unfortunately, appears to be 100% accurate in real life.
LoganJames Herman Cain Defends His Conservative Beliefs By Increasing His Muscle Power
Why would the filibuster help her stay politically relevant? Wouldn’t she have more power if a simple majority was needed to pass legislation?
Houckadoodledoo AZ get rid of this garish nothing.
She is corrupt!!!
kyrstensinema
Too late Bubbles. You're so over.
this isnt satire…
Just tell her that the filibuster is the only thing stopping her from drinking wine in public, and that it said she looks and sounds like an old show horse.
Kind of hard for her to be irrelevant when she lives rent free in your minds
Your liberal agenda would be funny if it were not so scary
I dunno, seems like her and Manchin are the 2 most powerful senators in the senate. Especially if you keep up with the news at all.

Watching her career was interesting. Politicians are all the same, even on the off chance they dont start that way.
It's funny because it's true.
this is just the truth lmao
🏅
🤣🤣🤣
Funnily enough, she'd be more relevant without the filibuster since bills could actually get to the floor and pass on her word, since we'd need all 50 anyway
It's funny cause it's true.
Unfortunately, this joke is actually telling the truth.
This… for once… isn’t satire. 🤷🏻♂️
kenVwolf SenatorSinema This is fake satire! I think this is all true. 😂

SenatorSinema Wait, aren't you supposed to stay politically relevant by making policies that are pertinent to your constituents
SenatorSinema I thought the onion was satire.
SenatorSinema It's funny/not funny cuz it's true.
SenatorSinema What sena

cameron_kasky SenatorSinema She’s liking all the attention craving more. In the end, she will not be re-elected, AZ dems are smart, they are growing. After 12 yrs of McConnells, 4 years of trumps GOP can you imagine bipartisanship? I’m a moderate Dem. Democracy needs your protection. Now. SenatorSinema
RICHARDPARKERSW SenatorSinema Nothing can make your lack of relevance become relevance. Politically speaking, of course.

SenatorSinema Cope

SenatorSinema What's the joke?
SenatorSinema Surely this can't be parody. This is truth, not satire.
SenatorSinema Wait isn’t The Onion supposed to be satire?

cameron_kasky SenatorSinema So we're going to lose democracy so Sinema and Manchin can stay 'relevant'? Shame on these two.
SenatorSinema In other news... Joe Manchin comes out as Republican for Pride month.
(laughs in angry Democrats after Mitch McConnell showed they would regret Harry Reid ending a filibuster).
SenatorSinema You might wanna think about what being a democrat means !!
SenatorSinema always more accurate than real news!
SenatorSinema The Onion has been so on point the past year, goddamn!
SenatorSinema wait this is just real
SenatorSinema Because Democrats are slated to get 52 in the Senate any time soon.
SenatorSinema She won’t be relevant for long.
SenatorSinema 'Before this week, everyone who saw my name thought it was just a misspelling of a movie theater. This is my chance. Strike while the iron is hot, baby! I'll think whatever is most convenient of the filibuster. Like a Twitter commenter on an Onion headline gunning for likes.'
