Manchin to oppose neera tanden nomination

[VBM]

I really hope that whoever the corrupt staffer was who manipulated Biden into nominating this swamp creature gets fired soon.

"You're high on your own supply."

I'll say this for Tanden -- her confirmation process has produced a lot of entertaining copy.

Fair chance he got a phone call from Hillary or even Bill.

LMFAO

It's real messed up that Igor posted this because now Seung Min Kim is getting nasty emails.

Utterly disgusting, but not at all surprising. Indeed, that's just par for the course in America circa 2021. I weep for our country.

This Asian Democrat says Seung Min Kim was doing her job properly.  It's not like Tanden's tweets were some behind closed doors, off the record comment. 

Given the Murkowski tweet that Tanden was responding to, it strikes me that Tanden was not only making a drug reference (lol) but also attacking supply-side economics.

I'm no fan of Tanden, but if appointing her solves structural racism, then I suppose we should go ahead and do it.

Really hard to imagine this working out but maybe it's mostly about appearances at this point:

Good f**king grief.

This is beyond shameless.

This is stupid and reductive by the Biden administration. Just move on already.

Great to know about the Democratic racism against Amul Thapar, Ajit Pai, and Neomi Rao.

[Brittain33]

The structural racism argument is that as an Indian-American woman, she’s being punished for behavior white men get away with all the time, for example Republicans like Richard Grenell who also troll Twitter but got votes from the same pearl-clutching senators.

Yep.

Also how multiple Republicans went 4 years ignoring Trump's tweets yet are upset about Tanden's online behavior.

[VBM]

Neera Tanden is a Clinton shill with no qualifications who only got nominated because corrupt Democrat insiders told Biden to do so in order to reward her for her for being the biggest neoliberal hack

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

This administration is developing a habit of trotting out descriptive representation arguments as its defense of choice for criticisms of its personnel decisions. I think this has its place, but it should be a scalpel rather than a cudgel, and Biden's people are overusing it pretty recklessly.

[Orwell]

Neera Tanden is a great nominee. She is a very experienced pick especially in regards to Healthcare policy.

Thinking about it, this move seems like a face saving measure.

"We tried our hardest to get this woman of color through, so don't be mad at us when she drops out and gets replaced with a non- asian american."

These people don’t actually care about diversity, but they do care about receiving the support from the woke liberals who do care about it

[The Dowager Mod]

I'm sure this has nothing to do with Neera Tanden's calling out his daughters disgusting price gouging on medicine.

If the Democrats concede a single solitary thing to get Tanden confirmed then this has gone too far. Just pick someone else.

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

Bernie please finish her off

Bernie Sanders is the biggest cuck in American history if he votes for Neera Tanden

don't reply to my posts

The polite thing to do is to press ignore (or, if the poster you're pissed at is a moderator like Mr. X, just live with getting feedback from people you don't like), rather than attempting to tell other posters what posts of yours they may and may not comment on.

[Oregon Eagle Politics]

This just means Tanden already has the votes. Manchin isn’t going to go against the party line if his vote actually matters.

Tanden has written mean tweets about the so called "moderates" murkowski, collins, and romney.
