Joe Biden Names Ron Klain, Obama’s Ebola Czar, His White House Chief Of Staff
Daily Caller ^ | November 11, 2020 | Christian Datoc

Posted on 11/11/2020 5:33:05 PM PST by Golden Eagle

President-elect Joe Biden named Ron Klain, a lawyer and former President Barack Obama’s “Ebola czar,” to serve as his White House chief of staff.

“Ron has been invaluable to me over the many years that we have worked together, including as we rescued the American economy from one of the worst downturns in our history in 2009 and later overcame a daunting public health emergency in 2014,” Biden said in a Wednesday statement distributed by his transition team.

...

Klain has additionally been extremely critical of President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

In March, he gave the federal government’s response an “F” grade.

“What we’re living with now in this country, the virus was created by nature, but the failed response was created by decisions we made,” Klain said on CNBC. “We’re going to pay a huge price for squandering January, squandering February, squandering even a little bit of March.”

I hope these folks aren’t signing any long term leases; they might wind up paying them off without ever needing the house.

Tell you what would make my day is to see a group picture of all these people at the moment when they realize that Bye-Done is Bye-Gone.... you know, a picture like that one of the crowd of ValJar and staffers as they had one last group shot before vacating the White House for PDJT.

Joe Biden is NOT President-elect until he is certified by the Electoral College.

He is in violation of the Logan Act.

Joe Biden has NOT conclusively won the 2020 presidential election because several states are still counting and other states have razor thin margins and are in litigation.

That is the election outcome is unclear amid pending recounts and legal challenges.

According to the latest update, Trump has 232 Electoral votes; Biden has 227.

So Biden, the guy who says covid19 should be dealt with by scientists, chooses a... lawyer.

Which part of the prison cell is Biden going to use for his “White House?”

Levin: 60 Million Americans Got Swine Flu, Obama and Biden Stopped Testing

CNS News ^ | | July 17, 2020 | 3:20pm EDT | John Jakubisin
Levin contrasted the coronavirus pandemic with the Obama-Biden response to the 2009 swine flu epidemic, especially their decision to stop testing, on his national radio show “The Mark Levin Show” Thursday. Levin replayed a C-Span clip from May 2019 in which Ron Klain, a former chief of staff for Biden, says that the Obama-Biden response team “did every possible thing wrong.” We had a bunch of really talented, really good people working on it and we did every possible thing wrong and 60 million Americans got H1N1 in that period of time.” “Well, why didn’t they prevent it?” Levin asked....

Is it me, or is this month getting worse every single day?

2020 has gotten worse every day since New Years. Worst year in my life.

Yes, it is becoming clearer every day that the Marxists intend to lock us down and destroy the economy until we are a broken, subservient people suitable for a Communist dictatorship.

“Well, why didn’t they prevent it?” Levin asked. “Why didn’t they have everybody hunker down?”

A report by CBS in 2009 said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told states to stop testing. Levin quoted the CBS reporter Sharyl Attkinson, “In late July, the CDC abruptly advised states to stop testing for the H1N1 flu and stop counting individual cases.”

“The rationale given for the CDC guidance to forego testing and tracking individual cases was ‘why waste resources testing for the swine flu when the government has already confirmed that there is an epidemic?’”

“But Obama, Biden said no more testing, therefore no more reporting on the consequences. This is so damning. This is so damning.”

is there a “bag” man to collect for the “big guy”?

is there a Czar to handle and schedule
the incestual rapes upcoming?
(Clinton would have loved this)

Will there be a return of the Czars to
direct the FIB and IRS to attack or just
kill or imprison Biden’s, and heelsup’s chosen victims?

Five things to know about Ron Klain, President Obama’s Ebola czar:

— He’s a former chief of staff to both former Veep Al Gore and current VP Biden.

— Kevin Spacey played Klain in the 2008 movie “Recount” depicting the Bush vs. Gore presidential election fight in 2000.

— Klain served as a debate prep aide for four Democratic presidential nominees: President Obama, President Bill Clinton, Gore and John Kerry.

— He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School and clerked for former Supreme Court Justice Byron White.

— The White House says Klain will stay out of the spotlight, and is instead working behind the scenes to coordinate the White House Ebola effort.

I remember exactly what he did. Overnight all the Ebola stories disappeared from the press. They instituted a no more reporting rule.

These sort of people make me sick. Nothing but government admin work, some legal work, staff work and no accomplishments. The quintessential government bureaucrat with zero executive or leadership experience. Why put a no-account guy like this in charge of Ebola? I doubt anybody could name a single thing he did to fight ebola.

Yes, Fedgov micromanagement of your life and mine using covid19 as the pretext.

Lockdown, contact tracing, social distancing, Nationwide mask mandate, those will happen right away. More small businesses gone... Eventually no cash for any business transaction.

Also, two questions... See any nefarious purpose behind the vaccine?

What does one do when one is required to take it, or not be allowed to buy or sell?

Klain was part of Democracy Alliance’s group Third Way....concerned with immigration and gun control.

In a city where name recognition is synonymous with success, Ron Klain has made a virtue of being unknown. As Attorney General Janet Reno’s chief of staff, he is all but invisible to the public but recognized in Democratic circles as the man to have on your side in a political or legal fight. A rare mix of top-flight lawyer and savvy politician, Klain shepherded the nominations of Reno and Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg through the Senate and steered the omnibus crime bill through the turbulent legislative process.
