DiBlasio is at it again

 

Wut

 

Shut everything down, absolutely no reason to keep things open right now.

 

Thanks for clarifying. Yeah let's make that happen but abolish the EC? Cool with everyone?

 

CEOs of top US firms met privately to discuss what to do if Trump's refusal to concede to Biden becomes a threat to democracy

• More than 24 CEOs of Fortune 500 firms met on November 6 to discuss what to do if President Donald Trump refuses to leave office on January 20, according to the Yale professor who organized the meeting.
  
  
• The CEOs said Trump had the right to pursue legal challenges alleging voter fraud, Jeffrey Sonnenfeld told AP.
  
  
• But they also spoke about making public statements, and pressuring GOP legislators, should Trump's refusal to concede threaten a peaceful transfer of power to President-elect Joe Biden, Sonnenfeld said.
  
  
• The executives were from finance, manufacturing, retail, and media companies, he said.
  

 

Lastly, Biden can shape any action from Congress by indicating policies he will or won't support. When another round of aid becomes available via another iteration of the CARES Act, that legislation will likely reflect priorities announced by the White House.

Yeah, I'm sure McConnell will let that happen smoothly

 

So the people most responsible for continually usurping the democracy we have met to discuss what they’ll do to save our democracy?

 

Ice T offering more leadership than any politician

 

I honestly think that tweet was perfectly fine. It was sent back in Februrary, before the pandemic began, and the "fear" he was refereing to was anti-asian racism and xenophobia stoked by fear-mongering. Solid tweet.

 

It's stability they're after, not democracy.

 

its clear that they decide presidents based on which is most capable of serving them at that moment in time. I feel that Wall Street wants Biden.

 

Is Substack basically Patreon blogs? Where the person can post things for the general public but most of their content is behind a paywall?

 

But it IS threatening a peaceful transfer of power, and still . . .

 

if Biden picks Klobuchar for AG I just can’t take that seriously

 

also talk of Hillary for ambassador to EU seems like a very bad political move

 

Oh wow. Haha my bad. I thought it was a new tweet claiming that COVID isn't real. Should've looked at it closer.

 

Thinking Matt Yglesias is leaving Vox bc it was too woke for him lol
