I have stated that I think that the Biden White House will be staffed with Right wing actors and the president-elect has started to make my prediction accurate.
The president-elect is in the process of putting together his White House staff….one of the most important positions is that of gate keeper, the Presidential Chief Of Staff and Biden has chosen Ron Klain…..
And the second-hardest job in Washington goes to … Ron Klain. The Washington Post reports that Joe Biden has tapped Klain, a longtime confidant with an impressive resume, to be his White House chief of staff. “Ron has been invaluable to me over the many years that we have worked together, including as we rescued the American economy from one of the worst downturns in our history in 2009 and later overcame a daunting public health emergency in 2014,” said Biden. “His deep, varied experience and capacity to work with people all across the political spectrum is precisely what I need.” Klain, 59, was a senior aide to Biden when he led the Senate Judiciary Committee in the late 1980s and ran Biden’s office when he became vice president.
Klain has also been a top adviser to Democrats including presidents, vice presidents, and candidates. The New York Times reports that Klain is known for his “steady nerves” and “fierce wit,” especially in criticizing President Trump on Twitter. As former “Ebola czar” under President Obama, Klain took Trump to task for his pandemic policies, and made waves by lecturing Trump about the virus in a popular video. Many considered Klain the obvious chief-of-staff pick, even though he’d fallen out with the Biden camp by supporting Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid in 2016. “I am definitely dead to them—but I’m glad to be on Team HRC,” he wrote at the time, per Politico. But Klain worked his way back into Biden’s inner circle and became a key, unpaid adviser on Biden’s 2020 campaign.
Biden is trying to rebuild the Obama White House….he began with the Ron Klain…..is an lobbyist and has been in tight with the Walton family…..Biden is going straight to the wealthy and the influential to begin his White House staff.
More personnel to come….

“lego ergo scribo”
I suppose you were hoping to see Sanders selected as Chief of Staff ( tongue in cheek ) . We have a progressive Vice President. I guess you won’t be happy until Ocasio Cortez is in the White House.
Signed: diehard Dem.
Harris is no progressive…..I do not care who it is as long as we have people with ideas in the White House. chuq
Of course they have ideas. You mean ideas that you like.
Name an idea of the Centrist chuq
It’s not Medicare for all Chuq. But to expand and improve on the HCA would be great. I’m a moderate.
I kinda guessed you were a moderate. That will do little to control drug prices and services….for the industry will write the reform chuq
To quote Spanberger and I couldn’t agree more “ We want to talk about funding social services, and ensuring good engagement in community policing, let’s talk about what we are for. And we need to not ever use the words ‘socialist’ or ‘socialism’ ever again. Because while people think it doesn’t matter, it does matter. And we lost good members because of it.”
it’s called cutting off your nose to spite your face. Trying to force socialist agendas will leave us out in the cold with a congress full of Republicans. That’s the way it is.
Socialist agendas is just a slogan most people would not know socialism if it bit them in the butt…..all social improvements over the decades could be labelled socialism….8 hr work day, Social Security, et….lots to talk about the problem is talk is cheap and seldom becomes nothing more than talk. chuq
I think her point is the constant reference to socialism in the Democratic Party is turning off a lot of voters and I agree. We’re only doing the far right a favor.
Just wish they would learn to defend themselves and stop blaming everybody but themselves. chuq
I would say she is copping out but I agree with her , socialism will not be accepted here in the near future. Perhaps when the younger generation is ready to take the lead. Meanwhile, well I already said calling up socialism is shooting ourself in the foot. It freaks every body out.
It already is accepted…..just people are too ignorant to realize it. Letting slogans define policy is N way to get a workable plan….and again we will be stuck in the status quo….yet again chuq
We will have a real problem getting anything done thanks to Moscow Mitch and the spineless Senate unless we are fortunate to win the runoffs in Ga.
Hope is all that is left….Senate has always been the place a good bill goes to die. chuq
It has since Moscow Mitch took control. It hard to imagine he slid back in so easily yet no ones questioned his elects results. 😊
He is from Kentucky….that could explain his win. chuq
That explains a lot about him.
well said chuq
Besides if Obama could not give a proper Health care policy with a 60 vote Senate…I do not believe Biden will accomplish much either. chuq
There’s a real challenge ahead unless the Dems win the senate seats in Ga. Mitch should be put out to pasture where he can wallow in his miserable hatefulness.
Fingers crossed….chuq
Giving big jobs to long-term friends? No surprise there. To be honest, I would do the same.
Best wishes, Pete.
Not so much friends just access to big cash….chuq
