Once again I’m surprised how cheap American politicians are. Those Wall Street Fat Cats avoided paying billions and all it took was 1 million to this lady.
Regarding Leon Black, this is the headlineThe Intercept was referring to, where he violently raped an autistic 16 year old with “a rare form of Down syndrome that has left her ‘developmentally… about 12 years old.’” This is one of three similar physically brutal sexual assaults the article references.
I mention this because Black’s back in the news this week for the same Epstein-related shit: he had a date with the House Oversight Committee for September 3, 2026 to appear and produce his Epstein NDAs, and skipped out on both.
Having spent a lot of time in the files, I have formed the opinion that all of these people who continued friendships with Epstein post-conviction, or were themselves close friends of those who did, like Sinema to Black, are all just fucking amoral trash, not a lick of conscience among them.
The NC betrayal of affection law is entirely regressive. It’s a “let’s see you and them fight” divorce law in the same state that requires (or did at the time) you to be legally separated for a full year prior to divorce. Back when I was there in the 90s I had cheating friends caught up in it with great shock that it would ever be used against them – I guess cheaters are the same everywhere – but inasmuch as it has snagged Sinema and might be the sole form of redress for her actions that she ever faces, I can almost applaud it.
Sinema is almost a textbook example of why I don’t really value representation as necessarily a measure of things that will move things forward.
She supposedly ticks so many boxes that should have given her all these progressive bona fides (at least among people that tend to fall for identity politics stuff):
She’s a woman, relatively young, who claims to be bi, is an out atheist, AND she’s vegan?! How exciting. I’m especially keen on the last two things.
Well, spoiler alert, it turns out she was a total shit show for progress. Given the choice, I’d take an eighty-some year old white straight male who eats lots of meat and dairy and goes to church all the time, BUT votes for progressive policies…people on our side really, really need to work on looking beyond the surface-level bullshit.
Oh, and ahem - she started out in the Green Party. If people wonder why I give them so much side-eye. Here’s what she’s been up to lately, according to Wikipedia:
Career after elected office
In January 2025, Sinema joined Coinbase’s Global Advisory Council to advocate for the cryptocurrency industry and help it coordinate with US lawmakers.[39][40]
In March 2025, Sinema joined the law and lobbying firm Hogan Lovells as a senior advisor.[41][42]
In October 2025, Sinema failed in an attempt to lobby the city council of the Phoenix suburb Chandler, Arizona to allow the development of an AI data center.[43] Earlier in the year she founded and became the co-chair of the AI Infrastructure Coalition.[44]
Sinema has since become a strong advocate for the Make America Healthy Again Movement and ibogaine.[45]
She’s also a poster child for the horseshoe theory, JFC.
This is the woman that prevented Joe Biden from taxing private equity.
She threatened to torpedo his biggest bill if he closed loopholes allowing private equity to pay less taxes.

And one of her biggest Wall Street supporter ? Billionaire Leon Black.
Turns out he is Jeffrey’s Epstein pal. What a small world.

Turns out she didn’t only betray voters. She also had an affair.

The million was so everyone knew who owned her. The investment advice and post congress job references were the real payment.
