Are you talking about Susan Rice?
I remember seeing something on social media back when the "unmasking" thing was a thing. Susan Rice just carried out the administration's strategy and that VJ was the architect.
Believable. But unsubstantiated.

Hah, I just saw that she blamed the tweet on Ambien.
I'd have more respect for her if she just stood up and owned it rather than blaming drugs.
Her Twitter feed right now is just a wave of "MAGA" accounts praising her. Poor lost and misguided souls...

On some level they may be but just to wish we could get this ship back in the middle of the channel is not misguided.
Misguided, as you use it, is a relative term.
(I was going to say extremely relative, but I wasn't sure anyone would get the joke)
I stayed out of the Rosanne thing on Twitter......Looks like Goodman has a combination of the Sads mixed with a bit of the mads.....I saw some of her tweets but not the ones that got her canned.....
I'm a little confused about the ambien thing. That's really not a good explanation for anything.
If it removes inhibitions, and she posted a racist thing when not inhibited... doesn't that kinda mean she's - at some level - racist?
Or is it the idea that her baseline is to say something just for the shock value, and the lack of inhibition made her say a really racist thing "just for shock value."
But, if it is the latter, then... isn't it likely that the MAGA thing is for shock value, but there isn't the societal inhibition about expressing it?

Yep, me too. Alcohol and drugs usually don’t change you, they reveal you
meth and LSD and crap like that is a different story
Just a distinction. Whites weren’t oppressed as a race. There was all kinds of oppression. Just not for being white.

I’d like to encourage people to resist requiring acknowledgement of belief. Or, in other words, reqire disavowal-signaling. It’s fine to say that what Roseanne said was racist. You go beyond that to require other people to say your words too, to shame people for not saying it too, and that’s just not a good practice for public discourse. This is what the fringe right and the fringe left do. And I know saying Roseanne’s tweet is racist seems like a no brainer. But I think we need to draw the line on disavowal-shaming people. Make your case, sure. But people shouldn’t have to signal their disavowal to be considered “us”.
The Ambien defense worked for one of the Kennedy kids that was caught OWI. "I'm under a doctor's care and my legally prescribed drugs made me do it. I had no idea what I was doing."
Seems like another celebrity tried to use it too but I can't remember who right now.
For what exactly? This isn't the first time that someone has brought this notion. I think now is the time to challenge it. I
Trump said:Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call?

Which still doesnt explain why she mentioned PotA.
