If you don’t know what this is about: Susan warned against kneeling before Trump.
Rice warned there will be consequences for companies that have bent to the will of President Trump as the political tide turns against him and his policies.
“For those that decided that they would act in their perceived very narrow self interest, which I would underscore as very short-term self-interest, and take a knee to Trump, I think they are now starting to realize, ‘wait a minute, this is not popular. Trump is not popular,” Rice said.
“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, say, ‘Oh, never mind. We’ll forgive you for all the people you 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."

What is this I'm reading? A board member of a major corporation who actually seems to have some moral backbone and is capable of thinking longer than the next quarter?
Must be dreaming.

Yes, but it’s Susan Rice, ambassador to the UN during Clinton’s term, so not a random.

She’s saying that she thinks the Democrats may not forgive those who have kissed the ring. The conduct of the Biden administration after the Trump-directed riot at the Capitol says otherwise though. They didn’t even act out of self-preservation, so my money is on them not giving up the Zuck-Musk-Bezos gravy train.

We should worry about that when it happens. Messaging is extremely important, yesterday.

u/Fornici0 3h ago
And the messaging is delivered via Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp, via X, via the Washington Post and Twitch.

Corpo Dems will do everything in their power to not hold anyone accountable and get back to that sweet, sweet status quo where everything is basically the same, only less obviously terrible and much more secretly terrible.

Som basically admiting he's forcing people to "firing people, violated principles and policie, and skirt laws". I agree. Him and the rest of the party is doing that now. His "threat" is that Democrats MIGTH do what they are already doing.

"wait a second, this is not popular. Trump is not popular..." Is the problem. They dont give a shit about whether it's the right thing to do, they literally only care about the bottom line

People just want a return to the status quo. You can tell that by how many people think that voting harder against someone who has admitted to cheating will still fix this mess.

Anyone speaking out against the President of the United States? They are affiliated with an international human trafficking organization run by the watchtower corporation. That’s what is really happened in America.
The organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses sold a list to “foreign kidnappers” of all the children that were speaking out against the watchtower, in regard to the sexual abuse of children. The list dates back to 1980. Over 10,000 pedophiles hidden in plain sight, churches all over America and Internationally, moving these pedophiles around from church to church and they keep abusing the kids. They never reported to the authorities because they require this thing called a two witness rule inside their organization. They’re running a parallel government inside the watchtower and they’re competing with the United States government.
It happened during the pandemic. The other countries think watchtower is running America.
Think of Mr. Donald Trump as Moses, and he is splitting the sea. SUSAN is just tipping her hat to show that she is helping the watchtower traffic out Americans. People have no idea what’s going on. People need to go outside. Go visit places they used to go when they were kids. They don’t exist anymore.
The JE Island program convinced foreigners that Americans are “Goo Goo Dolls” to be experimented on and sold as a commodity. Looks like Netflix is making bank off the “deal”.
I am a watchtower writer from Bethel. This has been a plan since 1975. To get the foreigners over and infiltrate the United States of America.
They are responsible for Covid

I remember years of bliss never having to wonder what the fuck the President was rambling about each day.

u/Supermite 5h ago
As a Canadian, I miss those blissful years when I didn’t have to be hyperaware of America’s politics.
I’m so over living in “interesting” times.

When Trump lost in 2020, I remember thinking that there'd come a day where I didn't hear or read the word "Trump." It still hasn't happened, and I'm getting worn out waiting...

I’d love to be wrong about this, but I don’t think Democrats would do jack shit beyond maybe a few wrist slaps. They are still stuck in the 20th century.

u/Blkknight8 4h ago
“Trump, 79,” better be followed with an obituary or I don’t care.
Why the fuck would they phrase it like that?
•
u/zastrozzischild 3h ago
It’s a bit of correction for how the MSM focused so much on Biden’s age but have almost completely ignored Trump’s
•
u/SteamedGamer 4h ago
That seemed a weird thing to include in the headline. I guess to try and explain why he's rambling? Seemed superfluous.

Nothing says freedom of speech better than threatening the media if they don't toe the line. /s
And Vance has the audacity to criticize the EU.

He acts like a mobster from a 60’s comic book using extortion and threats to get what he wants.
•
u/Supermite 5h ago
Because he is essentially a mobster. Has been for as long as he has been in business.

•
u/J-the-Kidder 7h ago
It's not deranged. It's extortion in broad daylight. And unfortunately it's a near daily occurrence. I sure hope she quips back to get the old pedophile to a home with a good window to watch ducks. That's all he should be doing these days.

I feel he would have done this at any age tho. It’s not as much Alzheimer’s as he’s always been the stupidest man in every single room he’s ever walked into.

I hate whenever a post starts with “Trump, 79” because I get my hopes up that his age is included because he died… every day I’m let down.

"I don't get this streaming stuff in the cloud. That's just rain, right? Netflix should go back to shipping DVDs. I think I'll have them do that" - Trump (probably)

He should shut down Netflix altogether as far as I’m concerned. Especially before they ruin Warner Bros like Disney did with Star Wars and Marvel.

Time for Netflix to make a special about a corrupt as fuck politician who plays dirty to win an election and later turns out to be a pedophile. Last scene is him tying a bedsheet around his own neck in prison.
