White House Deploys Susan Rice for Negotiations as Joe Biden’s Agenda Stalls in Congress

Charlie Spiering 1 Oct 2021

The White House deployed Susan Rice to Capitol Hill late Thursday evening to help push President Joe Biden’s agenda through Congress.

Rice, who previously served former President Barack Obama as a national security advisor, now works for Biden as the director of the White House domestic policy council.

Rice joined Counselor to the President Steve Ricchetti, White House Legislative Affairs Director Louisa Terrell, and National Economic Council Director Brian Deese for meetings with Sen. Krysten Sinema (D-AZ) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) as Biden tries to push $5 trillion in proposed domestic spending through Congress.

On Thursday, Manchin voiced his opposition to a domestic entitlement bill that costs over $1.5 trillion, angering progressives who want to see dramatic tax hikes to help pay for $3.5 trillion in spending for free universal pre-K, two years of free college, subsidized child and elder care, paid family leave, and more food stamp benefits.

A phony baloney job...she is running the WH and acting President...imho

[mountaineer]

She's been running things all along. Yesterday, perhaps, was the first time she made a public appearance in her role.

Agreed.

These are the meetings where Rice tells these "mavericks" play nice, or you will regret it.

That Iranian must be hiding in the wood pile somewhere.  Rice isn't that smart.

What, me worry?

This is a terrible idea.  Susan Rice, The Benghazi Liar, is not trustworthy.  Why would anyone think progressive Dems would trust a Clinton Dem Establishment stooge?

I agree with the first half of your statement.  But you do realize that Manchin and Sinema are not in the ultra progressive wing.  A perceived "moderate" Clinton era arm twisting might work on them.

From what I heard about Rice 'arm twisting' will consist of her raining the most profane verbal abuse down upon them.

I agree about Rice being at least one of the powers behind the throne BTW. And I'm glad she's creeping out into the limelight - she needs credit for what she's accomplished.

Heard that too.  Wouldn't be a hoot if one of them changed parties, and sank the dim majority.  Not that we need another RINO but......

[Killer Clouds]

I think it would be funny it they just told Rice EFF OFF! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

[Wingnut]

There she is. jar-jar binks!

A shift in tactics.  Cajoling has failed, so now it's time for threats and long knives.  Are questionable suicides far behind?

Manchin has enough skeletons. It wouldn't take much arm-twisting on the part of Rice/Jarrett/Obama/whoever - just the hint that all will be revealed.

I have read 4 MSM articles today that have had the balls to call the infrastucture bill bipartisan.  Do these f'ers even know what that word means?

Just like all DCP made up terms it means what they say it means but not what the definition is.

The fact that they are making her crawl out of the weeds is a sign of desperation.  In the end, it's just an argument between Democrats as to whether the country should financially collapse within a few years versus a few more years.

[sneakypete]

Is she related to Condoleza Rice?

No relation.

Methinks Rice is ValJar's wingman.

Yup.  Kabuki Theater at its finest.

Yup,but I am more inclined to say "Kubaki Theater at it's most vile" instead of "finest".
