Trump’s pathetic efforts to overturn an election he lost resoundingly have been refuted more than 50 times by state and federal courts.
He’s now encouraging demonstrators and protestors to flood the streets of D.C. on January 6 while Congress is proceeding to certify the vote of the Electoral College. Chaos is all he has left.
Today, nearly 200 business leaders urged Congress to stop toying with the election results, accept reality, and do their job.

This presidential election has been decided and it is time for the country to move forward. President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris have won the Electoral College and the courts have rejected challenges to the electoral process. Congress should certify the electoral vote on Wednesday, January 6. Attempts to thwart or delay this process run counter to the essential tenets of our democracy.
The incoming Biden administration faces the urgent tasks of defeating COVID-19 and restoring the livelihoods of millions of Americans who have lost jobs and businesses during the pandemic. Our duly elected leaders deserve the respect and bipartisan support of all Americans at a moment when we are dealing with the worst health and economic crises in modern history. There should be no further delay in the orderly transfer of power.

“200 business leaders”, yes, but is EF Hutton on that list? That’s the one I listen to.

Does EF Hutton still exist?

Their TV commercial and a lot of other 70’s commercials still exist in my head. But no, they got bought out in ’87.
Funny to see big business say ‘go home’ to Mr. business himself.

Did you notice that David Coleman is one of the “business Leaders”?

David Coleman runs a business and his compensation is about $1 million a year. Ertsinly he is not an educator.
I just remembered that he was treasurer of Michelle Rhee’s Students First, with its anti-teacher, anti-union, pro-charter, pro-voucher agenda.

I just found it interesting that a man who can claim neither education or business “credentials,” ends up telling educators what is important. Interestingly, he also did a stint as a consultant at McKinsey. His is one “business” I would like to see fail.

Coleman has made it his life’s work to get into everyone’s business.
But apparently no one told him: nobody gives a $%it what you think and feel — least of all Congress.

Touché.

Most of the “business leaders,” on that list are undoubtedly primarily interested in the stock market performance — namely, ensuring that the level stays artificially high.

But of course, Congress will pay far more attention to stock market speculators than they will the pee-ons.

Probably so, but it’s useful that they told Trump to stop. And his enablers in Congress.
