Why Did Biden Nominate Saule Omarova in the First Place?
NRO ^ | 8 DEc 2021 | Charles C W Cooke

Posted on 12/11/2021 11:46:30 AM PST by Rummyfan

Saule Omarova, President Biden’s pick for comptroller of the currency, has withdrawn her nomination after at least five Democratic senators and every Republican senator made it clear that they were unwilling to vote to confirm her to the post.

My question is this: Why the hell was she nominated in the first place?

Perhaps he hasn’t noticed yet, but he is not in a particularly good place right now. He is wildly unpopular. He is already seen as last year’s news. He has yet to persuade Congress to pass the core of his policy agenda. His claim to be a moderate is falling apart by the day. His party seems to be on course for a historic drubbing in next year’s midterm elections. And, in spite of it all, he just spent some of his fast-draining political capital trying to put a radical into the currency office. Why?

...

In the last few years alone, she had signaled support for a People’s Ledger that would “effectively ‘end banking,’ as we know it” by having the Federal Reserve take over consumer banking and become “the ultimate public platform for generating, modulating, and allocating financial resources in a modern economy”; expressed a desire to “basically get rid of these carbon financiers” by “starv[ing] them of their source of capital”; and unironically echoed the satirist dril when she tweeted, “Say what you will about old USSR, there was no gender pay gap there.” Why did she invite strong opposition? Because ideas matter, and her ideas are absolutely ghastly.

Every president has nominees that leave you scratching your head but Omarova takes the cake. Whoever thought she was a good candidate for Comptroller of the Currency should be fired.

Saule Omarova really sounds like someone in the Obama camp. I’ll bet Obama’s people running the WH made the appointment thinking she could sneak in. Biden probably didn’t know her at all.

Biden doesn’t nominate anyone. In the few minutes a day he is cogent, his handlers tell him what to say, and what to sign.

As if Biden actually nominated anyone. The creepy old bastard still hasn’t figured out that the reason it smells like sh*t everywhere he goes, is because he’s carrying a load in his Depends.

#3: "Because he obediently does what his handlers direct."

BINGO! ding ding ding — we have a winner!

I saw a video of Biden in the early days of his administration. He was supposedly "working". Biden was signing papers. When you look closely you can see that Biden was signing blank pieces of paper. His handlers could fill in anything in the world and claim the Biden signed it.

Because he could, and as a probe to see just how far they could go.

If they want to play this, the next GOP President should nominate Steve Bannon as CIA Director. :)

As a matter of fact, there was a Gender gap even un the USSR.
Like everywhere in the world, women tend to pick lighter work with more flexibility!
All those Babushkas, they were doing all the cleaning jobs all over the place and being paid almost nothing!
However, if you would dare to study the pay gap in the USSR, you would end up in Gulag, for sure!
So, till now, no gender gap statistics could be found!
If she was really qualified, she would know!
So her statement means either she was highly unqualified or communist sympathizer!

Because this administration and Biden have people running things from various cultures and nationalities and colors. Identity politics.

More accurately, what bullshit happened while we were distracted by this commie bitch?

I am afraid she was a shiny object to distract us.

Biden does what his handlers want. Rarely has a thought that’s his.

Apparently his handlers thought the country needs a controller of the currency that would usher in Ms. Omarova’s ideas about this. Utter nonsense.

I doubt the sphincter with feet even knows who she is.

Ask Susan Rice why they put her there...

Clever negotiating tactic.

First you nominate the Beast Rabban.

Then you send in Feyd Rautha, whom they will then welcome as a savior.

I’ve been wondering about this since the first day her name was revealed.

It’s pretty obvious they view this as a once-in-a-lifetime chance to create the USSA before they lose the House, but thank God this was just too far. There is no way a sane nation would have nominated her or her nomination would have gotten out of committee and on her way to a Senate vote. Even more distressing is that her nomination didn’t go down in flames when 90 Senators had said “Hell no” forcing her withdrawal.

This was a trial balloon. Now they’ll come back with a home-grown communist radical who doesn’t have the Moscow and USSR taint or the academic paper trail, but largely the same communist philosophy.

The nation is in deep peril and it’s getting worse every day. It is crumbling before our very eyes.

As camouflage, they send Brandon out to yammer about global Democracies and now pretend to care about law and order.

“placate the powers that be”

That’s nonsense. It might placate them for a nanosecond, but now they busy look for a home-grown radical without the Soviet and Moscow connections and without an academic paper trail, but with the same virulent communist philosophy.

Like “The big ask”, only with regards to nominations. Call it “The big nomination”.
