Even liberals now see that ‘moderate’ Biden was a mirage

[Counselor706]

So when Cillizza, of all people, devotes a column to “the utter radicalness of Joe Biden’s presidency,” maybe it’s time to acknowledge that Biden is trying to implement extremist policies considerably outside the mainstream. Biden’s initiatives, writes Cillizza, amount to a “massive outlay of federal spending” that “will add massive sums to the federal budget deficit.”

And those are just the numbers. Biden’s policy choices and nominees for top jobs are, if anything, even more radical. Consider his nominee for Comptroller of the Currency, Saule Omarova. She graduated from Moscow State University under the old Soviet communists in 1989 using a Lenin Personal Academic Scholarship, and she has proposed that the Federal Reserve “end banking as we know it” by taking over all consumer bank deposits. Also consider that Biden’s nominee for head of immigration enforcement, Ed Gonzales, has spent years in radical opposition to immigration enforcement. Among other outlandish nominees and appointees, one of his most senior advisers, Anita Dunn, had said that Chinese communist tyrant Mao Zedong, who murdered tens of millions of people on purpose and caused tens of millions more to die through sheer incompetence and fanaticism, was “one of her favorite philosophers.” (She later tried, unconvincingly, to treat this comment as a joke.)

Against a fairly broad public consensus*in favor of the Keystone Pipeline, Biden canceled the project. Against large majorities of both parties in Congress, though, Biden effectively stopped opposing Russia’s Nord Stream 2 fuel pipeline. Against majorities who oppose critical race theory, the Biden administration strongly supports it (and related, anti-white training and curricula on racial issues) in schools, businesses, and the military.

And then, of course, Biden has pushed (and exceeded) the limit again and again on executive power while threatening an unworkable and probably unconstitutional national vaccine mandate on businesses.

Of course it's a massive outlay of federal spending -- we expected that, and voted for it.

There's already been a thread on Omarova -- closely examined, her proposals ain't very scary or Commie at all. They might be scary to bankers, and so much the better.

As for Gonzales having "spent years in radical opposition to immigration enforcement," where were your objections when Trump appointed a petroleum exec to head the EPA?

Permadeath to the Keystone Pipeline.

Cillizza of all people? The same Cillizza who got his start interning for George Will, and whose "analysis" is famous for being based on predictions rather than facts? Yeah, it doesn't surprise me that someone like that thinks a barely left-of-center administration is "extremist".
