"SNIP.....

New York Times: “Ms. Rice occupies the West Wing office that was previously inhabited by Stephen Miller, President Donald J. Trump’s top policy adviser. Aware of the symbolism of a Black woman who has been vilified by conservatives occupying the space where Mr. Trump’s most hard-line immigration adviser used to dictate policy, Ms. Rice has decorated it with Haitian art and scented it with sage.

“From there, she now convenes regular Zoom meetings about topics central to Mr. Biden’s agenda — she hinted at actions to come on voting rights, community violence and gun safety — and she has reorganized the way the council works. Instead of having a principal deputy serving under the director, she has appointed four senior deputies who are experts in their fields.”

......SNIP"

1. Biden appointed her to develop the obscure, minor Domestic Policy Council

to be more like the National Security Council she was in charge of under Obama.

The two are to become aligned and working together, NSC focusing out, the DPC focusing in with strong emphasis on economic and national security issues. Right now handling the pandemic and economic recovery are the big priorities, but also big domestic "healthcare, immigration, racial equality and justice issues."

3. Shows you the state the US is in when a "fighter" is hired for domestic issues

not foreign ones. Brilliant move. The Trumpers and GOP are at war with democracy. Democracy needs to fight back with great policy.

[Hortensis]

4. Good point. We are in troubled times. Not just the U.S., either.

Most of the planet. The widespread global stability post WWII is coming unglued. Big job.

7. Yes and the rest of the world is unstable because Trump was in the WH

and proved how delicate democracy could be in the wrong hands. And 'wrong hands' everywhere were emboldened. For sure there would still be climate change crisises if Hillary had won, but so much of the bad behaviour is because NATO seemed like such a myth all of a sudden. Biden has to fight to regain the upper hand abroad and at home. He has thousands of state department and intelligence employees and experts to do that abroad. He has Rice and another team to fight at home. And it will be a new order based on the most brilliant ideas from everywhere. The Democrat's message discipline has been sublime so far. I hope this is a sign of how the Democrats will be in every arena in these next 4 years.

8. Lots of big reasons. The Trump phenomenon hit the planet

six ways from Sunday, though.

Agree so much. We can't undo, but many nations want and desperately need the U.S. to help rebuild stability and get to fighting climate change, the one problem that inflates, creates, and overwhelms all others. Of course they're naturally worried about what happens in 2024...

"And it will be a new order based on the most brilliant ideas from everywhere." We can at least be sure of that for now. Forward to the future.

10. It was the playbook the GOP had been using in more subtle ways over the

years, on steroids. Fortunately he gave the plan all away. Biden's got this.

[Hortensis]

11. Agree. I was thinking but forgot to say we have strong leadership now,

and as you say, more people realize democracy's under attack. Extremely fortunate.

2. Sounds good to me.

5. LOL . . .

. . . and scented with sage . …

sage is a deterrence for demons.

[westen]

6. The sage is because they can't get rid of the Stephen Miller stink...NT

9. Good point, however, I tend to subscribe to the notion that.....

spirits, evil or otherwise, do not respond to physical actions or presences. They only respond to the spiritual aspect of an environment and then only on the spiritual level. Thus if the spirituality of persons in any habitat are elevated by, perhaps, scents in the air they breathe, then those scents may be accreditable. By the same token, neither are mental acuity and transcendentality or integrity and commitment common sides of a coin.

It's a small thing perhaps but what is the point of misunderstanding one's environmental management.

12. I would have brought in a priest

to do a full exorcism.

[OnDoutside]

14. Exactly.

[2naSalit]

16. And cleansing...

That will take years to do in that space.

[hlthe2b]

13. Uggh. Same office as Stephen Miller? I hope someone came in to burn sage (at a minimum)

How does one remove the remnants of blatant evil?

[Iliyah]

15. A Demonologist . . .

[Polly Hennessey]

17. I hope she changed the desk and chair.

What creepiness would it be to sit in a chair he used and to put your hands on his desk. Sage indeed! How long to rid the space of his festering evil presence.

19. It will take more than a sage candle. A full blown smudging with sweet grass, spruce and sage,

and prayer , bowls of salt in the coroners of the room followed by some low volume jazz. There's a lot of bad juju in that room.

[live love laugh]

20. ++++1

[JudyM]

22. I'd blast the jazz.

Every Friday at quittin time. And hand out party drinks.

21. Susan Rice is burning sage in Stephen Miller's old office
