As Per Boas (12/26)

Like the excellent propagandist he is, Phil Boas, manages to twist the resignation of Krysten Sinema into a diatribe against Arizona Democrats, who, according to him, are nothing but Marxist extremists frothing at the mouth if someone doesn't follow the party line. Republican extremists in Arizona, Kari Lake, Phil Gosar, et al. never get a mention from him. And God forbid he should ever criticize the clown car of extreme Republicans in Congress or the arch immoralist himself. I supported Sinema as she rose to power but withdrew my support once I discovered that she had sold out, and was more interested in the growing pile of contributions she received from special interests and big business. That's what bought her the pretty clothes he describes so eloquently AND the trips abroad, and the personal security and the vintage wines. Surely we should not be supporting those who use their political office for personal aggrandizement. Phil Boas' party now makes no bones about it being the party of wealth, where money and its acquisition are the only criteria for action. The new oligarchy. We know who will be paying the bill.
