https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/11/19/trump-biden-stop-delaying-transition-chamber-of-commerce/3778635001/

The head of the Republican-leaning U.S. Chamber of Commerce is urging President Trump to move on with the transition to President-elect Joe Biden’s administration.

The chamber, which typically has favored Republican candidates who support lower taxes and fewer regulations, joins a chorus of business groups imploring Trump to stop delaying the transition to the next president while he challenges the vote counts in multiple states.

“President-elect Biden and the team around him have a wealth of executive branch experience that should allow them to hit the ground running,” chamber CEO Tom Donohue said in a statement provided to Axios. “While the Trump administration can continue litigating to confirm election outcomes, for the sake of American safety and well-being, it should not delay the transition a moment longer.”


The Center is finding its voice.

Do you remember her calling up election officials and trying to influence their vote on certification of the election the way Trump just did?

I think her lawyers followed it as far as they could.  I dont think they just quit on it for the good of the nation or so that Trump could get started on his transition.

School openings over the US and Europe was a big success, not. Get these non-scientific idiots out of here and roll it back until the vaccines become available.

You want all the kids out of school?

Trump doing Bibi some last minute favors:

- Pompeo the first high US official to visit a settlement (right near Ramallah to add a further insult)
“For a long time, the State Department took the wrong view of settlements,” Pompeo said, but it now recognizes that “settlements can be done in a way that (is) lawful, appropriate and proper.”

- the State Department announced that products from the settlements can be labeled “Made in Israel” in a major policy shift

- Pompeo declares BDS is anti-semitic and any group that supports the boycott won't receive US funding

A lot of this is just stirring up trouble and placing obstacles in Biden's path as he tries to carry out merely a pro-Israel policy instead of the  extreme pro-Israel Trump policy.  Adelson always gets a return on his investment.

And it was - but not through the election aspect.

It was stolen from her by a combination of factors, including Comey's letter and McConnell's refusal to allow Obama to share with the American public the involvement of the Russians without threatening to claim Obama was cheating.

Trump campaign revises Pennsylvania suit, again
The latest version of the lawsuit asks the court to declare Trump the winner in Pennsylvania.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/18/trump-pennsylvania-election-lawsuit-437996

When does it end?

I sure hope it ends soon, but the tantrum is quite amazing.

They don't want the votes re-tallied, but with a watchful eye, as that would just result in their losing yet again. "Just toss out those votes; they weren't for us, anyway!"

You should see the SNL skit called a Rudy Giuliani press conference taking place right now.

Again, her LAWYERS were not involved in disputing the election, until well after the fact - she did not challenge whether Trump won, only joined in the recount effort in one state.

You keep ignoring that she conceded the election.

And she had no power over the transition - Obama's GSA head started the transition the day after the election.

Agree that Dems need to up their game on digital platforms.   The far right is way ahead of them (and mastered the art of getting toxic lies to circulate widely before being flagged or deleted).   The Right generally had an advantage on memetic proliferation, with its large cadre of retirees who had the time to repost stuff.   And attack memes are inherently more eye-catching than innovative ideas that require deeper mental engagement.   So,  Dems,  the party with more actual ideas, also have to compensate for that disadvantage at tossing out cyber chum.

They were trained by the Russian FSB and IRA

Easier to implant lies to folks who can’t handle reality.
