Why is the media making it sound like Condoleezza Rice screamed at The View hosts?

She was nothing short of polite and respectful, yet the media is making it seem like she was going off on those women. Lmao.

If Obama had been a Russian asset, like Chump, and he tried to overturn the result of an election he lost, Repuglicans would be SCREAMING for his head in the corridors of Washington. There will be an investigation and the moral of the story is don't attempt a coup because people will get pissed.

by Anonymousreply 27October 21, 2021 5:05 AM

I hear you r26 but you should try to get thru it. It's juicy.

The show Joy and Whoopi both berating her. She talks about how she was suffering post partum at the time of Joy's outburst and that she vomited and had an anxiety attack during the commercial.

She says they were nasty to her for all but the first two years or so and she felt she had to quit to preserve her mental health. Says she didn't want to take the job since she had a similar one at Fox but her father believed in the show and felt she should do it to get the republican point of view across. She says the other repugs they have hired (Ana Navarro I think she means) aren't really republicans. They wanted her to be the token republican on the show but then the hosts couldn't handle that she was supposed to give the alternate opinion and made it really personal.

She surprisningly admits her father's campaign treated Sarah Palin poorly and throws in a special dig for Nicole Wallace. (I guess she is also one of the people Megs means when she says people were hired to be republicans but all the ones before her bombed and were fired. (I guess Hassleback was the last one who remained on the show for years.)

I think that about sums it up.

But hold your nose and watch. IT's fun! Bitchery at its best!

My views are probably a bit to the left of Condi's, but I totally respect her intelligence and integrity100%. I think her faith in the Republican Party has been severely harmed over the past year. I don't think she's completely given up all hope of its eventual redemption, but she probably feels like a battered spouse in an abusive relationship at this point. It's NOT a coincidence that Condi walked away from politics when Trump was elected. Trump might share the Republican Party label, but he's pretty much the antithesis of everything she regards as sacred and holy. Her personal identity as a Republican is deep and robust, but she's not blind or delusional. Eventually, she's going to crack and walk away from the GOP... quite possibly, simultaneously with the Bush, Cheney, and McCain families.

Incidentally, if Condi ever DID officially become a Democrat and decided to run for President, I think she'd be a powerful force to be reckoned with... both by Democratic challengers AND her eventual Republican opponent. She's one of the VERY few people I've met who can engage in intellectual discourse one minute, then tear you up, down, left, right, and diagonally like a New York drag queen throwing more shade than an eclipse a minute later.

If she ever personally got into an argument with Kamala Harris, it would be a cat fight... claws out, fur and blood flying. Kamala matches Condi's intellect, but Condi really knows how to WORK it.

by Anonymousreply 45October 21, 2021 7:49 AM

r45, if "Dems hate her", it's their loss. The Venn Diagram of "Bernie Sanders' Ideology" and "Condoleeza Rice's Ideology" might only overlap by 20-30% (mostly, within the realm of foreign policy & respect for America's democratic institutions), but I'd argue that Condi & Pelosi probably overlap 70-80%, and Condi & Sinema probably hit 85-95% common ground.

The ideological gulf between Condi (and other non-Trumpian Republicans) and centrist Democrats isn't nearly as wide as Newt Gingrich & AOC act like it is, especially with regard to foreign policy. Clinton & Obama's foreign policy agendas were fundamentally Neocon in all but name. Hell, Condi probably has more foreign-policy overlap with Bernie Sanders than with Rand Paul, party labels notwithstanding.

The Republican Party was righteous and pure before somehow, someway, out of nowhere this Trump came along and magically stole this righteous and pure party from its natural leaders. It's almost like the Republican Party turned out to be full of Republicans. Who knew? We should care about the insurrection, even shed a few tears about it, but never, ever do anything to prevent the next insurrection, and certainly never try to understand what caused this insurrection or who was really responsible for it. We should just "move on." Unlike every single thing Hillary Clinton ever did for 50 years, which must be analyzed to death, of course, and never forgotten.

[quote][R22], weird that Dems are "so bad at messaging" when we've won the popular vote all but once in the past 30 years

Winning the popular vote in an electoral college base election isn't ma ringing endorsement for good messaging. What it means is they have a large, built-in base but fail when it comes to reaching needed swing state voters. They're also terrible at selling their agenda.

Slavery like the holocaust has very dark aspects to it and, yes, I think both should be introduced to children at appropriate ages when they can maturely handle the subject matter.

General aspects rather than the full realities can be handled at younger ages in elementary school. Even the blaming and politics needs an appropriate age to discuss. If a child is interested in more than they can seek out that information. I did that about apartheid, the US slavery aftermath and the Holocaust. I searched my parents' and neighbors' libraries and went to the public library in the dinosaur years and got books specific to the topics and did deep dives. I did that about 10. While I was babysitting at 11, I came across our neighbor's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. That got me hooked. We won't discuss the Playboy collection I "accidentally" came across at another babysitting household.

There's general conservativism and then there's white conservativism.

Condoleezza rice represents the latter. She's very white on the inside. GWB ran on compassionate conservativism. Which is an oxymoron, because there's nothing compassionate about conservativism in the first place. Compassion is not a feature of conservativism which is why it had to be added.

Conservativism is limited in its existence. It's not generous in anyway shape or form. Conservativism is cold hard and mean. Liberalism is warm diverse open minded and welcoming etc.

There's nothing redeeming about conservativism. Which is why they have such a hard time selling it outside of their crazy insane voting base. Even former Republicans admit to this.

I don't want little white kids to feel bad about racism or slavery. I just want them to understand how we all got to this point. I get so tired, even here on DL, of the endless parade of people going on about white immigrant ancestors who "had it so much worse" or "they worked hard and built good lives". They never hear about all the roadblocks that were put in place that just stopped black American progress post Reconstruction. A lot of white people don't understand even the basics, like redlining or predatory lending practices that kept black people from building wealth in a country they helped build. Or how the US just abandoned Reconstruction which allowed the south to create a brand new form of slavery. If that makes white people feel bad, then you're more fragile then I thought.

But anyway, Condi is not the problem. The way I look at it is that there are republicans and there are Trumpers. Condi is no Trumper, no matter how hard you try to cast her in that role.

Want to know why they get to go on vacation while awaiting trial? Or why they're under sentenced? Please.

What's going on is bullshit. Two things need to happen. Get rid of Merrick Garland, and support the 1/6 Congressional investigation. We have to take a very hard line or we are fucked. Just remember.

She speaks in run-on sentences, and she did that very thing during her Hannity spot. When one gets to 2-3 minutes into the same damned sentence, there is a very real problem.

Who in their right mind wouldn't interrupt her mouthy ass!

Every day she would walk onto the set with a bad attitude.

I don't think that 95%+ of the people who stormed the Capitol LITERALLY intended to kill officials. Most just got swept up in what (to them) felt like a big political pep rally to "own the libs" via social-media selfies.

I also think they need to be punished harshly & made an example of, PRECISELY to drive home the point that it was NOT acceptable, will never be tolerated again, and will be punished even MORE harshly if anyone does it in the future. On January 6th, there plausibly WAS some ambiguity about where they "crossed a line". Part of the 1/6 Commission's job is to find that line, and draw it clearly with metaphorical day-glo paint for everyone to see in the future.

Remember, any law used to target future Trumpians would unquestionably be used to target Democrats protesting a real, honest-to-god coup by Trumpians. It's important to define clear, bright lines that apply to people on BOTH sides of it.

As tempting as it is to cast a wide net & punish anyone "conspiring" or "involved", vs physically inside & armed with real (vs theoretical or symbolic) weapons, just remember... if the roles were reversed, do you REALLY want to give law enforcement a green light to start shooting into a "threatening" crowd & justify it based upon the actions of a few within it? Or to give a Trumpian DOJ a legal excuse to issue arrest warrants equating online postings to actual violence against Trump's regime?

Trumpian fascism IS an existential threat... but part of remaining vigilant against it is refraining from accidentally creating laws, policies, and precedents they could weaponize IN THEIR FAVOR.

Look, r180, as fun as it might be to call for heads to roll, you should know as well as everyone that things rarely turn out well when some American authority pushes draconian punishments for zero-tolerance offenses. Inevitably, common sense goes down the toilet, and we end up with officials who go completely overboard casting nets far and wide, inflicting harsh punishments for things that are just stupid (like schools treating pictures of a gun like a real one, or acting like a student with ibuprofen was shooting up heroin in the restroom).

I really, truly, don't think that most of the people who stormed the Capitol on 1/6 *literally* intended to execute members of Congress (or even seriously injure or kill the police). To most of them, it was a prank that got horribly, terribly out of hand. They were wrong, and shouldn't have gone along with it... but mostly, they just weren't thinking about anything not directly in front of them. Trespassers, vandals, and rioters? Sure. Absolutely. Insurrectionists? A few, maybe... most, though, were just stupid idiots who went overboard cosplaying, and got trolled into going WAY overboard.

It's why the law distinguishes between things like murder and manslaughter. A bunch of schoolkids might have a blast burning test papers in a garbage can... until it sets the curtains on fire, burns down the school, and possibly someone dies. At that point, it's certainly appropriate to punish the students... possibly even harshly, so word will get out & future students will think twice before doing it. But it's equally absurd to claim the students LITERALLY set out to murder someone, or even to burn down the school. Hence, the legal distinction between murder and manslaughter, and the more general concept that sometimes, really horrific things happen because idiots did something reckless and stupid.

I'm not saying the individuals who participated in 1/6 should be let off with a wrist-slap... but I think it would ALSO be going WAY overboard to act like they were all domestic terrorists attempting to pull off a literal coup. However, I think it's equally likely to presume that there are individuals who WOULD have wanted a coup who were paying attention on 1/6 to see whether it would actually WORK, and who'll unquestionably try again if they think it will. Ergo, the need to make sure that their likely future pawns go into it knowing fully well that they're going to fail, will be caught, and will be SEVERELY punished for it as a deterrent against future attempts by others.

I also think it's important to be openly honest about the REASON for such harsh punishments... not because anyone wants to pretend that someone holding a noose made from 25lb clothesline, or holding a flagpole like a spear, was wielding a deadly weapon, but BECAUSE they're being made an example of as a deterrent against future repeats. Ironically, inflating charges to absurd levels REDUCES the deterrent effect of harsh punishment, because future people would look at it and think, "they meant to kill them, I'm a freedom-loving American making a symbolic statement of free speech". In contrast, being HONEST about it sends the message, "breaking into the Capitol isn't funny or cute, and could get me into serious shit EVEN IF we all just think it's fun & games, and we're putting on a show for CNN".

Think back to American History in high school, and every time your textbook EVER used the word "sedition" in the same sentence as a law or government official. Now, try to think of a single case where, in retrospect, the official or law in question didn't end up looking BAD or EVIL. Go ahead, just ONE.

I honestly think that any attempt to punish "sedition" against the 1/6 participants will ultimately be weaponized against anyone trying to prevent a future Trumpian coup... and if the Trumpians ultimately lose, it would all ultimately add yet another example of a case where fighting "sedition" went horribly wrong, just like it has every OTHER time in the past when it's been aggressively prosecuted.

R14 “Remember, blacks can be the most racist of all.”

Based on WHAT?

There’s been studies since at least the 1970’s that show white children develop racism and superiority complexes earlier than black children. Black children start to develop issues with other races by the 6th grade AFTER they’ve experienced racism from young white children.

The doll test has been around forever and the results haven’t changed much since it first began in the 70’s. Young white kids at an early age believe dark skin is bad and white skin is good.

Yes, R190, is spot on. Sorry but that's the reality of most of them. Luckily I avoided having to represent any of them. I just didn't want to be involved repping any of those people as I did for the Inauguration Day protests in 2017 and other disruptive protests in the past. But speaking with their lawyers and prosecutors, my colleagues, they were mostly just idiots not using a single brain cell going along for the ride. The ones using or threatening violence against others like officers or politicians, are a different story.

As someone who used to participate and even organize political protests in the distant and so not distant I can see how people can get out of hand and not even think about how they are going too far. Insurrection and sedition are very specific crimes and no prosecutor's office is going to waste the enormous money and resources to prove those cases unless it is very clear and likely to result in conviction. Even then it would be targeted to a handful and not every idiot who went into the building or refused to leave the grounds when ordered. They learned from the Inauguration Day arrests in 2017 that overreaching in charging participants in political actions is usually a losing game one way or the other.
