In over her head: Deb Haaland advances to Senate as Interior nominee

In Joe Biden's caretaker administration, it's amazing how many misdeeds can be erased through the useful tool of identity politics.

Take his nomination Deb Haaland, a congresswoman representing greater Albuquerque, who's a registered member of a Native American tribe ... and a tax cheat, energy ignoramus, persistent welfare recipient, and marijuana booster, who has now advanced in the Senate as his nominee to run the $12 billion U.S. Department of the Interior. Her trump card in qualifications after all those red flags? That she's half-Native American and has mastered the identity politics games of victimhood.

What could go wrong?

Unlike, say, Neera Tanden, her deficits for the cabinet post she's nominated for don't involve slippery political-operative-style maneuvers or an acid tongue targeting Democrats as often as Republicans.

Seems like box checking is the name of the game regardless of incompetence or un-qualified nom-eh-knees foisted upon us. From the top down.

I'm afraid Senate Republican leadership won't dare vote against a Native American woman with a Dutch name.

I so hope she is defeated in the Senate. The first act of her “acting-secretary” at interior was to suspend all oil and gas leasing and drilling permits on all public lands, including Indian reservations. Most people do not know that the entire apparatus on all public lands onshore and offshore for oil and gas development has been completely halted already. They suspended all laws and legislatively mandated processes by that decree. That is how these communists operate - by illegal decree.

Any photos of VP Charles Curtis (Kaw Tribe)dressed up “Injun” style for Congress?

He lived the Plains Indian Wars before becoming a member of Congress and VP under Hover. The Kansa tongue was his first language.

Who cares? The only federal land on Texas right now are military bases. So Texas can drill as much oil as they want. Biden administration is making states like New Mexico paying the price which is only fair because they voted for Joe Biden.

And they do know how to play it.

Once this Interior position is filled, how long until Joe nominates someone to be Secretary of the Exterior? /s

Haaland comes from a top oil- and gas-producing state, has pledged to transform the Interior Department from a fossil fuel development into a promoter of renewable energy and policies to mitigate climate change,........

It is very likely that fraudulent ballots put Biden over the top in that state.

It is not kind to blame the victim.

Sounds like the O'Bummer years, what with him flooding DC with incompetent. Like the high school senior he tasked with writing all of the O'BummerCare medical policies.

Every RAT and RINO liberal that takes office does the same.

Biden bowing down in photo....

Biden: “So you have appointed me something or other, Deb? Or did I appoint you to run something? What was it? I’m losing track here. Whatever it is you’re on the approved minority points list and pretty high up there I must admit. So congratulations for something.”

Going ethnic for photo op....

“Hey, did Liz Warren have to put up with this kind of time consuming crap?
She slapped on a necklace with some beads and did the stupid war dance she learned from a YouTube video and they all applauded.”

Looking at Deb Haaland in her costume my first thought was that she’s trying out to be the new “Land-O-Lakes” Native American Butter Princess cover girl.
