White House Deploys Susan Rice for Negotiations as Joe Biden's Agenda Stalls in Congress
[Breitbart] 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.

#3 Word is they left the meeting without comment. Sounds like the big guns turned out to be a damp squib.

#4 @#2 - "The Liar of Benghazi™ parachutes in.." Cause it work so well back then...

I was surprised (but not disappointed) that she was selected for SECSTATE. Maybe the big Donk machine is grooming her for a bigger spot and wanted her to have domestic policy street cred??

#5 Biden gave his domestic policy to Bernie Sanders and it isn't working well. Seems not all of the donks are quite as "progressive" as Bernie. What, you mean there might be some DINOs?

#6 Like Valjar and Soetoro, this mediocre mil ATT's has lined her pockets post-2016 to the tune of about $30 million in corporate baksheesh and paybacks.

I'd guess she's negotiating her / Kalomara's / the Big Guy's cut of the $3.5 trillion giveaway.

Why let the smart-ass whi' boys have all the billions?

"Yes We Can!"

#7 Kalorama Strike Team sent in as the Presidium sees the WH puppet show folding badly and tries to stop the losses while the MSM can still fool anyone. Again offering proof that Champ/ValJar and the CCP see the closing window for further havoc as Cloward-Piven is fully implemented by Imperial edict.

#8 I always thought Democrat Party discipline was better than what we're seeing now. But some of these donk congress critters are in a pickle. If they vote the way they're told, they are liable to lose their seats in 2022. It's kinda nice to see them experiencing such difficulties.

I'm a bit conflicted myself. If they pass the $3.5 trillion bill (or whatever it ends up costing) they are likely to suffer a crushing defeat in 2022. That would be a good thing. But this monster legislation would do all kinds of damage to our country. That would be a bad thing.

The best possible outcome would be that the legislation fails and Democrats lose in 2022 anyway. I can dream, can't I?

#9 No way can all that money be spent by 2022. The plan is pass it and make the pubs rescind it, thus making them the bad guys. You do remember the pubs rescinding BathHouse Care? Don't you?

#10 Sorry - meant she WASN’T selected as SECSTATE.

#11 Radical Socialist Dems are doing what they are being told by their radical constituents back home are telling them to do.

From California to Dearborn, Michigan etc...
