@Alfred Would you require a weathervane to tell which way the wind blows?
I was stymied by merciful and cruel, but made up a backstory to solve it: She was orphaned very young, raised by pickpockets, but exiled when the gang leader gave her an ultimatum at 15: be his consort or leave. Now she’s been on her own on the run for years having stolen the leader’s gear on her way out. Having been poor she is merciful and likely to take care of any urchin she comes across, but though hetero, she harbors deep misandry and is absolutely cruel to any man that shows interest.
Hey! There's an idea! Why don't you resign, safe in the knowledge that your key demographic, hedge-fund managers, will be able to feather their nests at the expense of the American taxpayer well past your "best-by" date.
I'm calling upon you to resign. You've done your job, secured their blessings; now go.
Have a glass of Three Sticks for me, I hear the Chard 2021 goes great with corruption.

I suppose if the "carried interest" tax loophole comes up again in the next 17 months you'll be there to defend it; but honestly, what are the chances of that with Republicans controlling the House? I think your precious is safe for the remainder of your time in office. So safe in fact, that you probably won't need to lift a finger.
It's that time again! My weekly letter to Kyrsten Sinema! #politics

Senator for the Wealthy:
According to: https://prospect.org/power/2023-07-20-investment-industry-donors-bankroll-sinema/ you are still raking in hundreds of thousands from moneyed interests like Blackstone and Carlyle, despite that fact that your re-election prospects are null and void. It's almost like either they don't recognize a bad investment when they see one, or else they expect to get their money's worth despite your short shelf-life.
@WhiteRose Have you seen this cover?
