poo poo, I used to work for a watchdog group focused on the quiet power that OMB has, and I still don't really give a poo poo who the director is.

Like every federal agency, as long as its someone not actively taking s hammer to it, the machinery will run like it always does.

I’d kinda prefer that Biden not nominate people for management positions that have punched subordinates in other jobs.

I still don't really know why Neera got the nomination. Always figured it was some kind of appeasement of Hillaryites or some dumb poo poo.

That’d be my guess, like Hillary handed over a list of people whose “turn” it is to have administration positions.

The democratic party is a jobs program for the consultant class.

E:I suspected that she was nominated for purposes of getting shot down, to take all the heat, but if they are going to the mat for her, it's got to be about solidarity. She took the right money, destroyed a union and punched left so she deserves a reward.

There were stories of Biden people being legitimately confused that “the left” was furious about her nomination. I’m not sure if they actually perceived her as punching left.

Floyd is 100% about money so they probably couldn’t generate enough interest.

I'm torn, because while I generally avoid all content and news involving the Paul brothers and similar types, I always long for the embarrassment of Ben Askren.

Star NHL forward Artemi Panarin is accused of beating up a girl in a bar when he was 18:

It should be noted that, even though it's possible he did A Really Bad Thing when he was 18, said star NHL forward is a vocal critic of Vladimir Putin and recently came out with pro-Nazalny statements and the source is a former coach who's a vehement Putin loyalist, so it's probably :ussr: gon :ussr:.

While that may be true, it’s pretty funny to see how both the left and right hate her, and the only ones enthusiastic about her nomination are the Lanyard-class of centrist Dems who think she’s a progressive.

Anecdotally speaking, I’ve heard from a few people I trust (who don’t know each other) that she’s abrasive, a bad boss and has repeatedly called and threatened journalists when they’ve run unflattering stories about her and didn’t “clarify their remarks.”

I think it is just a waste of time and energy to fight for the nomination, especially publicly. She is a political consultant, not a nobel nominated economist, they could replace the nomination and no one would notice. It is just that their priorities are weird.

I honestly don't even see them fighting that hard for her nomination, like there's been a handful of statements of "we're confident she will be confirmed" but it's not like there's been some full-court press of bringing swing votes to the White House or anything.
