Kyrsten Sinema getting exactly what she deserves - one of the tawdriest lawsuits possible... [View all]

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/sinema-admits-romance-security-guard-181858987.html

Kyrsten Sinema had a romantic relationship with a married member of her security detail that began while Sinema was a lawmaker. She fully acknowledges this fact. Apparently, Sinema thought the good people of Arizona elected her to go to Washington, start messing around with a guard in the Senate Cloakroom and see to the demise of said guard's marriage. But, as if that's not embarrassing enough, Sinema has now been sued over the matter, legally branded a homewrecker who just couldn't keep it in her pants, the law be damned.

How you say? Well, Sinema's paramour - Matthew Ammel - is a resident of North Carolina, as is his wife. And, North Carolina is one of a handful of states that allow jilted spouses to sue for "alienation of affection" and seek damages from a third party responsible for the breakup of their marriage. Ignoring for a moment Sinema's remarkably poor judgement in cheating with a married man, she should have been aware of a neighboring state's law regarding such matters. Why? Because she was a fucking U.S. Senator who should know something about the law. Too much emphasis on fucking apparently, not enough on being a U.S. Senator who knows something about the law.

Anyway, Sinema now finds herself embroiled in a lawsuit with her paramour's angry ex requiring the minutest of details of communications between Sinema and her boy toy guard be examined. What kind of psychedelic drugs did you request that your lover bring with him on your escapades? Wowza. Specifically of interest is the extent to which Sinema's sexual imbroglio occurred in or had any nexus to the good state of North Carolina, where this homewrecker law applies. Basically, precisely where were you when your undergarments were being thrown across the room or when you were engaging in sexting regarding such matters? That sort of line of questioning.

Now, I can't bring myself to have any sympathy for Sinema's plight. And, that would be the case whether she was a man or a woman. She was a turncoat Democrat who, to me at least, always seemed to be hiding something ready to blow up in Democrats' faces. It turns out it was a guard, in the closet...fully at attention.
