I hope this turns off more than just a handful of Trump’s Georgia voters. I hope it travels the twitter route wide and far.

So the richest of the rich think he should move on - the minute Trump sees a real economic downside to continuing his coup cosplay, or sees a real financial reward for stopping, it will be over yesterday.

Murphy, who has the sole authority to green-light Biden’s formal transition process, has not budged amid Trump’s refusal to concede.

I don’t think she will until someone offers her a new job.

Mnelvin D. Exploi-Tehrr, informal Trump advisor and confidante, remarked:

I really couldn’t care about kids in cages, or any ecological catastrophe that will happen after my own lifetime… but Trump’s attempts to destabilize the political system might interfere with short-term profits, and we really can’t have that…

I tend to think this will affect his enablers more than Trump. He’ll be too fixed on narcissistic revenge to stop himself – for anyone. And that includes the Republican party. They’re in for it too.

Everyone knows that businesses are blameless, holy creatures.

All politicians and judges should do what they want at all times.

LOL
Can we finally put a stake through the heart of

“We need a good businessman as President”

Governing and for profit business require two different skill sets
and almost opposite motivations

I’m beginning to wonder if trump* promised Emily a p*ssy grab in exchange for stalling. Someone should ask her that.

Well, no, because 30 seconds after his ass is out of office, we’ll hear all about how Trump wasn’t a good businessman. “Everyone” knows it, even the libtards had been complaining about it for 5 years.":

But this Romney fellow, he’s a good businessman and would reverse the Biden Depression.

It took long enough, but everyone except his actual minions is finally saying oh for Christ’s sake will you just go away.

Probably not, because of course it was never about governing, but only about the grift. If I have learned anything about ‘business’ in the last decades, it’s that it does not matter in which direction the financial markets move. Someone will always be able to exploit that movement for profit. And the profit part becomes easy if one knows ahead of time what to expect.

I think trump’s “friends” were able to make a fortune specifically because of his ineptitude.

More than 100 chief executives are expected to ask the Trump administration on Monday to immediately acknowledge that Biden is President-elect and demand that Biden’s formal transition begin, according to the New York Times.

Sure, but what about the Pillow Guy?

I would’ve said “Go Limp” but “Fall Flat” will do in a pinch.
