Omarova out as US Comptroller exec nominee
« on: December 07, 2021, 05:26:34 PM »
Saule Omarova nomination for head of US Comptrollers office has been withdrawn.

Biden claims she was subject to "...inappropriate personal attacks". I guess that's what he and his ilk are labeling truth now.

I know they are a shifty, underhanded bunch, but being able to nominate and support an avowed communist and openly anti-capitalism zealot with a straight face is a whole new level of fail.

A measure of how screwed we are is that she was allowed to be nominated, hung in there and got dropped only because joe doesn’t have the political capital to swing two or three votes. 2 votes from our finance being run by someone dead set against capitalism.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Ah crap. Beat me to the good news!

And Uncle Joe should know all about inappropriate personal attacks... He should hire Tara Reade to be his adviser on that subject... oh, WAIT...

Blowing the whistle on a scumbag becomes an "Inappropriate Personal Attack" when that scumbag is a Democrat.

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

The NYT had an interesting way of framing it:

Quote
Saule Omarova, a Cornell Law professor whom President Biden picked for a key banking regulator job, is withdrawing from consideration for the post. Bank lobbyists and Republicans painted her as a communist because she was born in the Soviet Union.
