  1. Apparently they think it would not be politically wise to do so. I cannot say one way or the other.

  2.  @lk3309  Well she is highly qualified. She has spent the past 15 years working on federal budgets and spending in Congress. Not to mention she is already the acting director since Neera Tanden had her nomination pulled earlier this year. Officially nominating her is just a formality.

  3. None of what Trump said about sending the National Guard was true. In fact, he is inadvertently admitting here that he knew his supporters would be violent.

  4.  @sallyrucker8990  Yes, I know she was state attorney General. So do you have any evidence of your claims?

  5. And most other OMB directors had degrees in law or government. Clearly not related to budgeting. You need to check your bias. You are giving this woman heavier scrutiny just because she is black.

  6.  @trollking6111  He's a Trump supporter. Just listen to the police interview of him after the arrest. He made it very, VERY clear that he is pro-Trump, anti-Hillary, and thinks evil Democrats stole the 2020 election and are ruining the country.

  7.  @trollking6111  Wait, I thought you had determined he was hard left. Now you suddenly agree with him? That was the fastest flip-flop of all time. Make it make sense.

  8.  @trollking6111  Yes it is that black and white. Now that you know he is yet another a violent conspiratorial Ultra MAGA, you are making clear that you agree with him.

  9. It's not just checking off boxes. She has been doing basically the same job for 15 years in Congress. And she has already been the acting director since the beginning of the year when Neera Tanden had her nomination pulled for mean tweets.

  10.  @gregj3369  That was Trump's position. He sent the military there right before the election. Then right after the election, he sent them back home.

  11. So apparently you love crime

  12.  @Hatorian1  Quick question: What bachelors degree did all previous holders of this position have? You have two choices in college: Bachelor of Art, and Bachelor of Science. She's not running a science office, so it's irrelevant.

  13. The ad I got was about becoming a financial coach. I don't think it's the video. It's more because it's election season.

  14. There is a budget. But it's just a guideline since Congress determines what is and is not funded.

  15. You tripped and fell on a piece of polonium

  16.  @metatron333ascension  He's a Trump supporter. Just listen to the police interview of him after the arrest. He made it very, VERY clear that he is pro-Trump, anti-Hillary, and thinks evil Democrats stole the 2020 election and are ruining the country.

  18.  @metatron333ascension  Well consider that the attacker admitted in the 18-minute police interview that he was a Trump supporter and hated Democrats. And then he continued on to rant about Hillary Clinton and Democrats being evil and the 2020 election being stolen. It's on YouTube. You can listen to it.

  19.  @metatron333ascension  Besides, Trump supporters make it too easy. They ALL are conspiratorial. Always trying to find alternatives explanation for what their eyes can clearly see. And they ALL either support OR don't have much of a problem with racism. Latest example, Florida governor Ron DeSantis banning AP African American history in Florida high schools. I guess he was looking for a loud signal but his white hood was stuck at the dry cleaner.

  20. Don't be racist. This is one of the reasons it's harder for black people to get employed. America laughs at people with black names and autimatically comes to negative assumptions about them. Please don't be a part of the problem. This is one of those examples of "systemic racism" that people keep telling me doesn't exist. Would you hire someone with an ethnic-sounding name? If not, you probably need to check your bias.

  22. Increasing interest rates too fast will destroy the value of stocks and most existing bonds. It's a one-two gut punch to the entire stock market and that will also slow economic growth. High inflation mixed with slow economic growth is a no-man's-land we need to avoid at all costs. So the Fed needs to be VERY careful about how they handle interest rates. Especially given the fact that delta-Covid could do quite a number on the economy as winter comes again.

  23. No Democrats would have refused it. We would have listened to medical experts just like Kamala said she would. We didn't trust Trump. That doesn't mean we didn't trust experts. On the other hand, Republicans don't trust experts and their data. They'd rather "do their own research" on the internet and learn from people like Joe Rogan.

  24.  @WL1264  No, I didn't see that. Pretty sure you didn't either.

  25. ​ @RobertRosser-w4n You're funny. It's because the only kind of people who care about commenting are people here to complain and argue about her. Normal people will just watch the video and be done with it, maybe hit the like button. Biden had tons of negative youtube comments in 2020. But the polls had him ahead the whole year and he went on to win as expected. Comments and crowd size are not a reliable measure of overall support.

  26. What are you talking about. Fox was allowed to examine the machines during discovery. They found nothing. Their constant defense is that they were spreading the lies because what Trump was saying was "newsworthy."

  27. Republicans said at the time that he was a well qualified candidate amd an honorable man. But they were more interested in stealing the Supreme Court. So you applaud the disrespect Republicans showed to this man, but get mad when he gets a new job and lays down the law on those who tried to steal the election.

  28.  @axlegrind4212  It'd be hard to be more qualified than she is for this job. She's spent the past 15 years working on federal budgets and spending.

  30. Well seeing as she has been dealing with money issues on the House Appropriations Committee in Congress for 14 years and has been acting director of the OMB for the past year. Seeing as she has the healthcare version of an MBA and has bipartisan support in Congress. Seeing as past OMB directors either studied law or politics, neither or which is accounting or finance. But they had connections and got the job. It seems to me like anyone hard working enough can fulfill the duties of this job. But because she's diverse, people like yourself are furious. Clearly you feel that not enough white people are being nominated to run things.

  31. He blamed the people pushing for more equality for the rise in racist violence from the right.

  32. You wouldn't hear a sonic boom from behind the missile anyways. Sonic boom always travels forwards and to the sides of the missile since that's the way the missile pushes the air out of the way

  33.  @EB-du3vh  Yes! Such as when Trump pardoned his convicted friends and pushed the Justice Department to go after his enemies. Also wanted to send the military in if I recall.

  34. It's not a one sided investigation. There are Republicans on the committee. Also, if Republicans wanted absolute fairness, they shouldn't have blocked the 9/11-style commission that was negotiated. Republicans didn't want any investigation at all, so Democrats were forced to do it on their own terms. You can't complain about the results when you refuse to participate.

  35. We actually have more death compared to other countries. For every 1 million people we have about 150 people dying....per day. In other developed countries their death rate is 1/10th what ours it. The is no evidence that protests spread the virus more than usual. Remember, they were outdoors and people were wearing masks. Please stop making stuff up. We are doing so bad here because Americans don't like lockdowns. Americans don't like to listen to experts and smart people who spent years in school getting good at what they do. We have become intensely anti-intellectual. Other counties don't deal with the same level of aggressive ignorance. That's why they have less people dying.

  36.  @erniellerena  But Republicans don't want to blame Trump for that. It must be somebody else's fault. How many Americans died in Benghazi again? 4 How many Americans died of ebola? 2 How long did Republicans complain about Obama for both of these? Years.

  37. Every other past OMB director also had a Bachelor of Art degree. Why are you giving this person so much more scrutiny and criticism?

  38.  @julia1100a  Considering most other people who ran this office either studied law or government, how is she any less qualified? When is the last time ANY president appointed an accountant to this position? Probably never. Not too many MBA's either. Check your bias. Just because she's black does not make her less qualified.

  39.  @julia1100a  When did holding a non-government job become a requirement for holding a government job? Seems like it really is about her race for you. Why else would you be against her for this job? She has many, many years of related experience. Did you give this much scrutiny to Trump's white nominees?

  40.  @julia1100a  Maybe you should look at her bio before calling her unqualified. You clearly have a problem with her race.
    1
  41.  @julia1100a  14 years on the House Appropriations Committee. In case you didn't know, that means she spent 14 years dealing money and budgets. You have a race problem. Check your bias. Stop trying to hold people down because of their skin color.
