Tolerant but unhelpful – The Guardian criticizes Biden’s team selection criteria

Joe Biden takes over in dire times. To bring the country out of the crisis, he needs to unite experienced specialists around him. Instead, the future president is looking to ensure that officials have the full spectrum of skin tones.


The pursuit of tolerance in Washington reaches the point of absurdity, writes The Guardian. As the pandemic claimed the lives of 300,000 Americans, 850,000 filed new jobless claims, and shops are increasingly reporting food thefts, and liberals who have taken over power are discussing diversity in government.

“Over the past few weeks, Biden has announced to the White House team that he wants to help bring the United States out of the crisis”, – the newspaper writes.

“But instead of advertising the skills of the elect or what they will specifically do to improve the lives of workers, we hear about their ‘life experiences’.

For example, in the United States there is an agency whose activities have long been questioned. It’s about the Department of Homeland Security, famous for violating American freedoms. The head of this structure will be Alejandro Mallorcas.

“Rather than explaining their plans to fix some of the horrors of American immigration policy, Biden’s team reminded us that Mallorcas will be the first Hispanic and immigrant to be appointed DHS secretary”, – the article said.

Next, it became known that Avril Haynes, the first woman to lead the intelligence community, will become the director of national intelligence. Haynes already has experience with the CIA. Moreover, it was she who was one of the authors of the scandalous program of combat drones. After leaving the civil service, she found time to justify the torture.

Another interesting shot in the future government is Lloyd Austin. He is promised the post of head of the Pentagon. According to some reports, the Black Group of Congress began to put pressure on Biden. This is what played a role in the nomination for the post of Secretary of Defense of the black military. At the same time, according to The Guardian, the skin color was enough to close his eyes to the 350 thousand dollars Austin earned on the board of directors of the military corporation Raytheon.

Niira Tanden will become the budget director of the Biden administration. The liberals were doubly happy, because such an important post will be occupied not only by a woman, but by a woman from South Asia. She is also known for her speeches for cutting social security and plundering Libyan oil to pay for American bombing of Libya itself.

“This vague bragging is not only irrelevant to most of our lives, it distracts us from how simple the political solutions to the crises faced by the poor and the working class of Americans are”, – the newspaper said.

“But instead of the democratic leaders actually feeding the weary, poor and out-of-the-box masses with a solid welfare state, we are told there is diversity instead”.
