Susan Rice’s threats
Susan Rice hasn’t held elective office, but she’s been heavily involved in diplomacy, government, and Democrat politics as the ultimate insider. Now she’s trash-talking – not especially diplomatic, to say the least – in anticipation of holding the reins of power once again:
What [Trump] is doing, whether on the economy and affordability or on immigration, now, is not popular, and that there is likely to be a swing in the other direction, and they are going to be caught with more than their pants down.
They’re going to be held accountable by those who come in opposition to Trump and win at the ballot box. And I can tell you, Preet, you know, as I talked to leaders in Washington, leaders in our party, leaders in the states, if these corporations think that the Democrats, when they come back in power, are going to, you know, play by the old rules, and, you know, and say, oh, never mind, we’ll forgive you for all the people you’ve fired, all the policies and principles you’ve violated, all you know, the laws you’ve skirted. I think they’ve got another thing coming because, you know, just like when Trump thought, “Okay, I’ll redistrict and the Democrats won’t have the guts to play hardball.”
They’re going to be surprised. Democrats have had a belly full, and we’re not going to play by, you know, the old set of rules. When these guys are playing by a very different set of rules, we’re going to play by the law, but that’s, we’re not going to violate the law the way they do, but we’re not going to be suckers.
Yes, indeed – Democrats are finally going to take those gloves off. They’ve been so restrained till now. It would be funny if it weren’t serious.
Who does she think she’s fooling with this “we’ve been so virtuous till now” routine? Democrat voters, that’s who. I believe most of them sincerely believe this.
And the idea that Democrats never gerrymandered till now is also ludicrous. But Rice is counting on people’s ignorance, and it’s not a bad bet.
And no, she’s not even especially old. Although it seems she’s been around for a long long time, I was surprised to see that she’s only 61. By today’s political standards, practically a teenager.

Very true. They can’t be bargained with, they can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity… or remorse or fear and they absolutely will not stop! ever… until you (e.g., you, neo — and me, and most of us who post comments in this blog) are dead.
I do seriously believe that if the Democrats return to dominate the government, there will be civil strife, violent and widespread. Civil war is not out of the question. I seem to be one of few who thought the recent film “Civil War” was very good and quite disturbing, and possibly prophetic. Likewise “Camp of the Saints”, which seems now in the early stages of a prophecy being fulfilled.
I have always despised Susan Rice. She’s from the Black liberal elite in DC. She went to the expensive National Cathedral School, Stanford and was a Rhodes Scholar.
Yeah, she’s smart but she’s famous for lying on all three of the Sunday shows.
And what has she ever really accomplished? I submit nothing of any importance and especially compared to all of Trump’s accomplishments in his second term.
If she thinks Gavin Newsome or Kamala Harris can defeat JD Vance or Marco Rubio, she’s delusional. She’ll never be Secretary of State.
For the Dems, politics is a blood sport. Politics is their life.
A buddy of mine thinks the Dems will pack the Supreme Court if they get control of Congress.
The SAVE Act must be passed. The massive Dem vote cheating has to stop. I’m hoping for clear evidence out of Fulton County, GA.
A buddy of mine thinks the Dems will pack the Supreme Court if they get control of Congress.
They will for sure certainly try.
They tried to pack the Court during the Biden administration and failed, but not for lack of trying. In the future, if they are able to do it they will do it.
The elements of the GOP currently tanking the SAVE Act in Congress don’t seem overly concerned about Dems getting majorities or what they will do with them.
Susan Rice was Obama’s go-to gal on the Sunday talk shows after Benghazi to deny that Benghazi was a coordinated terrorist attack.
Benghazi was just a spontaneous protest that got out of hand because of an anti-Islamic video in the US.
You know how some parties get.
The “message” going into the mid-terms is Trump is lawless, he’s made EVERYTHING unaffordable, and apparently Democrats will inflict RETRIBUTION (I remember when that was a bad thing) on all things MAGA. Actual solutions to problems people face are not mentioned. The strategy is to get their base emotional. No doubt they are hoping for more ICE related bloodshed egged on by the usual suspects and Democrat Judges opining from the bench.
Will Republicans stay home on election day out of fear?
I don’t think Republicans in the House understand what’s at stake.
Concerned Conservative (Bauxite) doesn’t understand what is at stake either.
That “at stake” was the old and slow method of martial/summary execution, tie the poor sod to a pole and shoot him/her.
Enemies of the people and for the greater good, of course.
@James Sisco:I don’t think Republicans in the House understand what’s at stake.
I think they understand it rather better than we do. They are in the big club which we ain’t in. What’s at stake for them is not the same as what’s at stake for us. We’re little people.
The Marxists certainly won’t be playing by the old Democrat rules.
Niketas agree fully
Those Republicans enjoy being the Washington Generals. There’s so much less pressure in being hapless losers than in taking responsibility.
Rice is one execrable POS.
She is a member of the ruling elites of the demonkrat party, which should tell us all who the demonkrats are and what their goals are. In short, they hate the USA, the Constitution, capitalism , our system of govt, and working class white folks.
There is no middle ground anymore in Washington, DC; the Dems are out to kill their opponents – existentially, that is.
The republicans in congress still (!!!!) show up to the ball game with their basketballs, while the demonkrats show up with guns, knives, spears and baseball bats.
It is unbelievable that the republicans still refer to the Dems as their “colleagues across the aisle.”
I lost all respect or Susan Rice in 1994, during the Rwanda genocide. She was in the National Security Council then and was instrumental in setting policy that refused to call the genocide by that name. That policy contributed to the large death toll in the country. It looks like she wants to bring that experience to America.
I worked with several members of D.C.’s elite Black community during those years and think of them as major power players in D.C. For her to make this statement tells me this is prospective policy at some level in the Democratic Party, and not an unimportant level. I find it frightening.
@JohnTyler:It is unbelievable that the republicans still refer to the Dems as their “colleagues across the aisle.
It’s Republicans that are holding up the SAVE act, and the Republican leadership is allowing them to do it.
At some point we need to face up to the fact that too many of these people only pretend to be on our side.
At the end of the day, Congress just wants to appropriate. Which is to spend our money with their friends. They just don’t really care about much else. That’s why so many laws are written to delegate to the executive branch. Congress just wants to spend money.
That’s why the GOP is so “ineffective”. Ineffective at doing what we want, very effective at doing what they want, which is get together with Dems and see to it that everybody’s friends get paid. The GOP makes concessions so the Dems will let them keep the trough full.
They can act when they want to. They set aside the filibuster with majorities of 51 several times last year, for example to remove California’s EV mandate. In this case, they don’t want to. Remember all that stuff DOGE found that Congress wouldn’t do anything about?
I do not know if Susan Rice is “out on her own” on this or it’s “Democrat sponsored positioning”. Probably equal parts of both; I have no doubt there’s a very great deal of angst on the Left just from the first 25% of Trump’s term, and the promise of a lot more of the same in the pipeline.
The Left is, and has always, been convinced that They Are The Right People To Lead because they’re just so much smarter than us proles. Thing is, they have led. but only because everyone else has acquiesced to their motions.
I’m hoping there’s some sanity on their side, because there’s only so far we can be pushed, only so much of their crap we’ll put up with. In my corner of the world I’m hearing noises about the Left pushing back – with violence – and I’ve cautioned some of them about that; “civilization” has a very thin veneer, and once that fragile veneer is broken through the surface below is a whole lot rougher than most people can imagine.
I very, very strongly recommend they not go there. Express concerns, offer opinions and alternatives, seek whatever level of balance is possible, but the laying on of threats is a large step too far.
And it is something which we will not forget.
I’m beginning to “understand” why Obama’s New “Library” was designed the way it was:
(It’s not really a library. It’s a giant Room 101….)
JohnTyler: “Rice is one execrable POS.”
Don’t go so easy on her John.
Susan Rice is a lying, excreable piece of sh!t. Lied to the country lied to Congress repeatedly. Now making big bucks at Netflics.
Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and Sean Smilth died in Benghazi for Hillary’s, Susan’s, and The Lightbringer’s knavery.
A word to the Left: “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch”
JP Morgan Chase has now admitted they shuttered 50 accounts associated with Trump Organization properties and DJT personally. Will we get to hear the names of the officials who told them to do this or else?

Please recall that one of the people debanked was the wife of Gen. Michael Flynn.
If she thinks Gavin Newsome or Kamala Harris can defeat JD Vance or Marco Rubio, she’s delusional. She’ll never be Secretary of State.

The Democratic candidate won in 2020 even though he was the most stupefyingly bad candidate imaginable. They nearly won in 2024 in spite of the dementia, the inflation, and the 12 million people traipsing over the southern border. They could nominate a dead dog in the road and get 48% of the ballots nowadays with their cheating apparatus and the large population of the deluded and feckless in this country. That wasn’t true 16 years ago. You have an enemy, and it’s probably your unmarried daughter and your divorced sister.
AWFLs are a problem.
