Comrade Omarova's nomination crashes and burns as five Dem senators announce opposition to her appointment as comptroller of the currency
American Thinker ^ | 11/25/2021 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 11/25/2021 10:39:22 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The radicals who tell Joe Biden what to do as president overreached when they had him nominate Saule Omarova as comptroller of the currency, a powerful regulator of the banking system. The émigré from Soviet-era Kazakhstan, a Lenin Scholar at Moscow State University, earned a credential as a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, while also earning the credential of thief for an arrest for shoplifting in Madison, demonstrating contempt for private property. Naturally, she ended up as a professor.

That contempt, along with a Soviet commissar's view of private enterprise, when she expressed a desire to starve oil and gas producers of capital and drive them into bankruptcy, made it difficult for Democrat senators in swing states to vote for her confirmation.

Then there was her plan, expressed in an academic paper , to sweep bank deposits into the Federal Reserve Bank, all the better "for generating, modulating, and allocating financial resources in a democratic economy — the People's Ledger." My colleague Monica Showalter suspects that senators started hearing from constituents who did not want "the People's Ledger" to hold on to their financial resources and possibly loot them for public purposes like controlling inflation or redirecting capital into politically favored hands like Solyndra.

During Senate confirmation hearings, she claimed that her academic papers were just exploratory thoughts, even though she called them a "blueprint."

I got a bad case of the willies watching her testimony and affect as she spoke. She seemed to have the humorless attitude of a commissar, the robotic, inhumane stance of someone who could just as easily tell you why removing you to a concentration camp is the best solution for everyone.

Mitt is disappointed that he won’t get to vote to confirm her.

Axios broke the story of the five Democrats who let it be known that they would join the 50 Republican senators in torpedoing her nomination.

SEE HERE:

https://www.axios.com/democrats-omarova-occ-5755a0e4-c6a5-4ca7-b6c7-87d18d5491f9.html

[EXCERPT]

In phone call on Wednesday, Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), all members of the Senate Banking Committee, told Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) — the panel’s chairman — of their opposition.

They’re joined in opposing her by Sens. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.).

All five are from states where a GOP opponent would have at least a fighting chance running against them, and no doubt feared that a vote to confirm her would be used against them if they ran for re-election.

It’s shameful if it’s only five Dems. Xiden needs a 100% rebuke of this kind of stupidity. Really, wtf did he think he was going to accomplish with this insane nomination?

I don’t think Biden makes any of these decisions.

That a person with her ideology was even considered, let alone nominated, shows the ideology of Biden’s handlers.

That only five democrats are against her confirmation shows the ideological state of the Democrat party.

If you think her COMMUNIST agenda is gone with her, you’d be wrong.

Don’t assume there won’t be a cadre of Assistant Democrats flying to the rescue like Romney, Collins or even Graham 2.0. These cretins supported the nomination of Merrick Garland so anything is possible.

Where’s Joe Manchin? I expected him to be in that group.

MORE GOOD NEWS
Centrist Dems beginning to see the light sink Biden’s nominee ....... a kooky commie.....as top bank regulator

REALITY CHECK
Opposition hints at a willingness of some Democratic senators to buck the White House on an
important nomination........even if it hands Republicans a political — and symbolic — victory.

At the confirmation hearing for this creepy blockheaded jerk,
the irrepressible Sen Kennedy asked if he should address her as “comrade”?

I wstched the whole dealio 2 hrs also select snippets, Ted Cruz, et.al.

She is dangerous . She is a perfect example

of stealth and destroy with her mindsset.

One statement she made and my mouth fell open.

And its not because of her english as a2nd

langusge.

She stated “ I am ready for public service”.

As if America is a govt system like Russia.

She infers that all her education, degrees &

theories qualify her automatically .

She has never lost her commie mindset as if

one step leads to another in her career and

now she’ s “ ready for public service”.

She does not have America’ s best interests

at heart and never will

Like many being questioned she was the same as

other artful dodger who would not answer a

yes or no.

Mayorkas was even worse in this department .

It was like pulling teeth with him.

I hope this is true. This woman is a mentally ill monster who would gladly destroy America. She belongs in the blackest pits of Hell, thief that she is. Biden’s puppeteers have managed to find the least competent and most radical morons possible to fill important cabinet positions. Their aim is to sabotage the U.S. and destroy from within. Burn in Hell, you vermin.

I would say that maybe there is hope of sanity but this one is so bad the conclusion against her is just simply unavoidable. Anyone not voting against her would be scalped if the people in their districts have two brain cells to rub together.
