Several prominent Democrats have been open and vocal about their plans to punish members of the Trump administration, including civilian ICE agents, if they regain power. Eric Swalwell has vowed to make ICE agents' lives a living hell if he's elected governor of California, Rep. Shri Thanedar said Dems will prosecute ICE and Border Patrol agents, as has Philly DA Larry Krasner, and Mehdi Hasan wants the next Democratic president to run on a platform of prosecuting conservatives.
Now Suan Rice, the former Obama National Security Advisor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, as promised that Democrats will punish those who "bent the knee" to President Trump.
"When it comes to the elites, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media...it is not going to end well for them, for those that decided...that they would act in their perceived very narrow self interest," Rice said, "which I would underscore is a very short-term self-interest and take a knee to Trump."
"I think they're not starting to realize...this is not popular. Trump is not popular. What he is doing, whether on the economy and affordability, or 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," Rice said.
Simply incredible. The Democrats have spent a decade telling us that President Trump is an authoritarian, a fascist, Hitler, who is weaponizing government and then they run on a platform of punishing the people who didn't resist Trump to their liking.
Susan Rice Says Her Benghazi Claims Were Based On Information From US Intelligence
Her unfounded comments on the deadly Benghazi attack have been globally criticized

Susan Rice, Obama’s US envoy to the UN, says her comments in the immediate aftermath of the attack in September on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was based on “information provided to me by the intelligence community.” Speaking to reporters at the U.N. on Wednesday, Rice said:
“When discussing the attacks against our facilities in Benghazi, I relied solely and squarely on the information provided to me by the intelligence community. I made clear that the information was preliminary and that our investigations would give us the definitive answers. Everyone, particularly the intelligence community, has worked in good faith to provide the best assessment based on the information available. You know the FBI and the State Department’s Accountability Review Board are conducting investigations as we speak, and they will look into all aspects of this heinous terrorist attack to provide what will become the definitive accounting of what occurred.”
Making the rounds of the Sunday talk shows after the attack that claimed the lives for four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, Rice said the attack began as a “spontaneous” demonstration sparked by anger over an anti-Muslim video. She said “extremists” only joined later.
Here’s what she said Wednesday about her appearances:
“As a senior US diplomat, I agreed to a White House request to appear on the Sunday shows to talk about the full range of national security issues of the day, which at that time were primarily and particularly the protests that were enveloping and threatening many diplomatic facilities—American diplomatic facilities—around the world and Iran’s nuclear program. The attack on Benghazi—on our facilities in Benghazi—was obviously a significant piece of this.”
But Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has strongly pushed back against the claims Rice made, suggesting she gave false information in her TV remarks. He also said he will do “whatever is necessary” to block Rice if she’s nominated to be the next secretary of state.
Rice addressed that criticism, saying she hoped to discuss McCain’s concerns with the senator.
Yep Rice screwed up so bad at the UN Obama had to hide her deep in the White House to protect her ,LOL
Perjury and defrauding the FISA Court never got her in jail, so now it’s celebrated. To them, everything is ethical if it advances the revolution.
I recall Hillary Clinton suggesting that camps be established to reeducate people who believed “ misinformation “. The left are all fascists under the skin and Obama saw the changing of America as having a uniparty socialist/ Marxist government..
Barf bag, please.
Certainly sounds like it. The scary thing is, she is right. Dems take over Congress, Trump WILL be impeached weekly and WE will be hunted.
They will continually fail at impeachment, Trump will veto every piece of crap they send up and EO everything else-like Obama and Clinton did.
They tell us over and over again what they are gonna do. Most of the time it seems like a lot of us just don’t believe them.
Need an example? Look to Virginia.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
I’d like to see a comprehensive study that reveals exactly why the majority of voters in a state such as Virginia would vote for someone like the vicious anti-American woman they just elected. I find such an outcome to be not only sad but frightening!
or immigration now, is not popular
I remember when this creature was writing get-out-of-jail-free memos to herself the very day President Trump was first driving to White House to take over from that demonic Obama.
Susan Rice was quick to tar with a broad brush the 17 US intel
agencies getting billions of tax dollars to protect American interests.

“Systemic failures” and leadership deficiencies in Washington led to grossly inadequate security for the US mission in Benghazi, which was ill-equipped for a high-threat environment.
While the ARB cleared senior officials, it found mid-level management failures and triggered resignations, ultimately recommending 29 changes.
Key Findings of the ARB Report:
<><>Systemic Failures: The report highlighted that security for the Benghazi compound was “inadequate” and that officials in Washington ignored warning signs, failing to adjust security despite a deteriorating threat environment.
<><>Leadership Shortfalls: The Board found that a lack of leadership in the Bureau of Diplomatic Security and other, yet unnamed, bureaus resulted in a failure to properly assess the threats.
<><>Responsibility for Attacks: The Board concluded that responsibility for the attack lies solely with the perpetrators (terrorists), while the State Department’s failure was in providing adequate security, not in the initial attack.
<><>Security Posture: The report found that security was grossly inadequate to deal with the specific attack that occurred on September 11, 2012.
<><>Accountability and Recommendations:
Personnel Changes: Following the report, four State Department officials were relieved of their duties and placed on administrative leave; three later resigned.
Reforms: The Board made 29 recommendations, including strengthening security in high-risk posts, enhancing the role of the Diplomatic Security service, and developing better standards for temporary facilities.
<><>Congressional Criticism: Some critics, including members of Congress, argued that the ARB did not sufficiently investigate senior-level decision-making in the Obama administration.
Report Finds State Dept. at Fault for ‘Systemic Failures’ of Benghazi Security | PBS News
Dec 19, 2012 — A report released by an outside accountability review board found that the State Department was at fault for “systemic failures” ...
But you dare call the DemonRATs tyrants.
If there’s one thing we can definitely count on, it’s that they have the balls to do what they say they will do. They can do whatever they want, and face little to no static from the judges, the media or their voters. Everyone will just turn around and close their eyes.
That’s why they got to FIFA while Biden was President to send the 2027 and 2031 Women’s World Cups to Obama-controlled media (Netflix) over others that cannot be directly controlled with Obamites on the Board of Directors AND the ability to restrict viewership to the elitists while funneling Saudi money to sponsor it.
As of February 2026, Susan Rice is not holding a government position but is a member of the board of directors for Netflix and a fellow at Stanford. Based on recent comments, if Democrats were to take control of Congress in the midterms, Susan Rice is positioning herself as a key figure in holding corporations and institutions accountable for their actions during the Trump administration.
Here is what her role could entail based on her recent remarks:
“Accountability Agenda” Leader: Rice has stated that if Democrats regain power, there will be an “accountability agenda” for corporations, law firms, and media organizations that “bent the knee” to Donald Trump.
Congressional Oversight/Subpoenas: She has indicated that these institutions should prepare for investigations, saying, “They better be ready for subpoenas. If they’ve done something wrong, they’ll be held accountable”.
No “Forgive and Forget”: Rice has suggested that the Democratic approach would not be to overlook actions taken by corporations that supported the previous administration.
Context for Potential Role:
Rice served as President Biden’s Domestic Policy Council Director (2021-2023) and President Obama’s National Security Advisor (2013-2017), giving her extensive experience in government, which she could leverage to guide congressional investigations or policy, according to 1.2.1 and 1.3.3.
Her focus on an “accountability agenda” has already made her a target of opposition, with calls for her removal from the Netflix board.
It is not currently confirmed that she would return to a formal government role (such as a Cabinet position), but she appears to be shaping the narrative for a “return to power” strategy for Democrats in 2026.
She is a useless hose bag.
Underestimate her at your peril.
Haha! You’re kidding, right? Her entire power base from the Bushes to Kerry to Biden disappeared. She is a big wheel in the globalist world and probably still at Harvard. Other than that she can call a press conference write a mean letter.
