Awful how she keeps calling him ‘Coach.’
Ew, she calls him ‘Coach’.
Biden has to be so frustrated that he’s being put on par with someone whose claim to fame is helping people suffer from CTE.
I’m going to say here what got me banned from r/politics on Reddit…
Krysten Sinema is literally Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter.
Yes, yes that did get me banned. Not kidding.
Yes, yes that did get me banned.
Good. I say this as a former mega HP fan: Read. Another. BOOK.
Just because JK is a piece of shit doesn’t mean someone can’t enjoy HP. Further, it definitely doesn’t mean that comparing Sinema to Umbridge isn’t a great comparison.
Craziest part: I got a strike for using gendered language even though Dolores Umbridge is a proper name, and as far as I know both the fictional character, the actual person, and Krysten Sinema all identify as female.
I wouldn’t have believed there were actually Krysten Sinema stans in the world if I hadn’t experienced their wrath first hand. Of all the raucous shit I said on Reddit over the years, that was apparently the thing that was over the line 🙃
/r/Politics mods were getting pretty heavy handed near the end there. I think it was because of the constant whining from conservatives about their bullshit being called out and downvoted whenever they posted it there.
I caught a 1 week ban for something so minor I had to do a bunch of mental gymnastics to even figure out what they thought was objectionable about it. (And I can’t remember what it was now.)
And I can understand why when you abuse the word “literally” like that. What you mean is that she’s figuratively Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter. /s
Well…touché sir or madam. It appears that in this battle of wits I have come unarmed 😂
💀
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, the Arizona independent who left the Democratic Party last year, is calling on both the Biden administration and Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., to soften their positions and find a “middle ground” to end the Republican’s monthslong blockade of hundreds of military promotions over a Pentagon policy involving abortion.
The remarks, which came in response to an audience question, represent a bold move by Sinema to wade into a monthslong dispute in which Tuberville has blocked promotions for more than 250 high-ranking military officers.
She waded into the Tuberville controversy as Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin this week condemned the Alabama Republican for his “unprecedented” and “unsafe” actions that has led to three branches of the military “operating without Senate confirmed leaders.”
NBC News sent Sinema’s office a series of written questions asking to describe the offer she alluded to, what sort of compromise she favors on the abortion-related policy, and whether she agrees with the criticism of Tuberville’s holds.
Asked to comment on Sinema’s remarks calling for a compromise on the abortion dispute, Tuberville spokesperson Steven Stafford told NBC News: “Coach has been open to discussions with the administration from the beginning.”
Although Sinema has bucked her party on taxes and other economic issues, she has largely aligned with the White House and progressives on abortion, voting last year for the Women’s Health Protection Act to codify the right to terminate a pregnancy and criticizing the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
