Robert Reich tweets, then quickly deletes, that other Senators should slap sinema

[GP270watch]

 Sinema is awful and has tanked her career as a Democratic Party politician. I don't care about her.

This smacks literally of sexism, misogyny, and male chauvinism.

What a nasty, nasty tweet, it was totally uncalled for... (and I don't care for Sinema either, but this is too far)

What a strange thread this is. I find it hard to get my mind around a sincere evangelical Christain being a "Trump cultist," bearing in mind that the very definition of the word "cult" is something that precludes dual loyalties, so how one could worship Christ and Trump at the same time I find puzzling. Then a poster opines that Sinema is so infra dig in his universe that she is not worth the of honor of him giving her the back of his hand, either literally or metaphorically.  And then it all culminates in the pounding out of a bunch of fancy terms for those who hate, disdain, consider inferior, and/or objectify women.

But then I remind myself as to Barbara Tuchman's explanation as to why the Middle Ages seems so irrational to the modern mind, which gives some context to the triggering of this particular contretemps. Demographics matter. Who knew?

[Buffalo Mayor Young Kim]

I mean, is he wrong?

This person is extravagantly collecting kudos for disenfranchising thousands to protect her personal privileges and somehow tweeting she should be slapped instead make shim the bad guy.

Storm Thurmond, Louis XVIII, and Ultra-Tories should have been slapped.

I swear, it’s like people care more about contemplating violence to the body of the king than the real violence done to the body politic.

Is for a guy with a long long history of incisive  and knowledgeable article's/tweets, this was kind of classless and stupid.

[Shaula🏳️‍⚧️]

So what lol? He's not actively encouraging violence, he's making a point.
Gosar and Reich both did nothing wrong.

"Sincere evangelical Christian" is a contradiction in terms.

Voters gonna slap Democrats in 2022.

And then there's this...

Sinema is a big girl, she can handle a little criticism from a washed-up politico.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

He's right. The symbolism of a bunch of Republican ghouls thanking this dumb beyotch for helping protect their voter suppression laws because her donors told her to is absolutely sickening. The Democratic Party should completely abandon her and immediately endorse any primary challenger.

I feel that it would be a wholly appropriate time to remind everyone that Robert Reich is 4'11.



I usually don't mock people's heights, but this embarrassing fool just endorsed violence against women, so I do not give him that level of respect.

Reich's got a genetic disorder. Congrats, now you're just as bad as him.

I was genuinely not aware of that. Deleting ASAP.

If you were fine with Gosar’s AOC-killing anime joke, then you should be fine with Reich’s joke. Why is it so hard for Atlasians to take a joke? In both cases, Gosar and Reich were just joking and weren’t actually advocating for violence

Partisan hacks don't have principles. Their position on every single issue is just a question of whether or not it will own, wreck, or DESTROY the other team.

I definitely want to post a photo of Robert Reich with Janet Reno for Clinton Admin juxtaposition but this forum is so weird about photos.
