Top business executives call on Biden to end reelection bid: ‘Pass the torch’

The Hill ^ | 7/05/24 | Lauren Irwin

Don't listen to 'em Joe. What do they know anyway? Bunch of greedy bastids. The passing of any torch will easily be handled by Hunter. He'll take care of it, don't you worry. Hang tough little buddy and never give in. Let's go Brandon.

Pass the torch to another compromised ‘rat criminal so that they can continue to Burn Loot Murder the republic

[DeplorablePaul]

Yep. Joe, remember the fake 51 CIA operator letter? All lies. Screw these 186 liars. Hang in there.

ps

Libs love to write letters to influence a news cycle

[FLT-bird]

Nope! He needs to stay right where he is. Millions of Democrat voters have spoken. He is their nominee. Picking anybody else would be undemocratic.

[Bernard]

Was it a strongly-worded letter, like Republicans send when they are miffed? Or just a friendly letter. Apparently none of the democrats want to call Hillary’s special hot line for service.

[Daveinyork]

“They admire his decades of theft”. There, fixed it.

From 2021, more on the Leadership Now Project:

More troubling than The Leadership Now Project’s one-sided promotion of political candidates who seem in line with the partisan views of its leaders is the organization’s warped view of “protecting our democracy.” In an executive summary, the organization claims a “specific agenda” to tackle “systemic racism” and “repair American democracy” by limiting voter ID laws, granting felons the right to vote, addressing purported discrimination and underrepresentation by the Electoral College, and preventing states from cleaning up voter rolls. The organization’s website proclaims ranked-choice voting a priority.

The real tell, though, is from The Leadership Now Project’s claim to prioritizing “innovation and ideas for a modern democracy,” to which Saturday’s virtual gathering gave meaning: The modern democracy desired by Saturday’s participants is one our corporate and ivory tower overlords control, rather than the peons in Georgia or the other red states. If the voters don’t see things the same way, they will be made to.

That brings us back to fellow organizer Sonnenfeld, who claimed “the gathering was an enthusiastic voluntary statement of defiance against threats of reprisal for exercising their patriotic voices.” But two short weeks ago, it was Sonnenfeld levying threats to bring Georgia to heel, suggesting Google and Microsoft’s workforces reconsider recently announced regional offices in Atlanta in retaliation for the democratically elected state legislature’s passage of a mild voting integrity law.

Campaign Donations Show Big Business Effort To Oppose Voting Integrity Is About Helping Democrats Win, Not ‘Democracy’

The modern democracy desired by Saturday’s participants is one our corporate and ivory tower overlords control, rather than the peons in red states.

On Saturday, 100 big business leaders joined a Zoom call to plot a unified response to voting-integrity legislation pending in many states, similar to a law recently passed in Georgia. While billed as “non-partisan” efforts to defend voting rights and democracy, the players involved, their preferred policies, and the undemocratic pressure they seek to exert proves the virtual gathering was nothing of the sort.

CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe first confirmed the existence of the call on Saturday, identifying American Airlines, United, the Atlanta Falcons, Levi Strauss, Walmart, Viacom CBS, Twitter, LinkedIn, and AMC Theatres as participants. O’Keefe identified Yale Professor Jeff Sonnenfeld as helping organize “the confab.” Later, on its webpage, The Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism disclosed that it had convened the meeting in partnership with Sonnenfeld’s Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute and the Leadership Now Project.

The Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism’s summary of the event quoted Sonnenfeld and other organizers, such as Daniella Ballou-Aares, CEO of the Leadership Now Project, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, chairwoman of the Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism, and Meredith Sumpter, the CEO of the Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism. So, who are these organizations and their leaders?

The Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism’s 23-page “Framework for Inclusive Capitalism” provides some insight of its positions that, in short, seek to transfuse leftist politics into American capitalism. With “valuable input” from the AFL-CIO, SEIU, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and several academic institutions, and funding from The Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation, and others, the Coalition’s “Framework” focuses on everything from increasing the minimum wage to a “living wage” to changing state corporation laws and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to alter corporations’....

I agree, 51 from the CIA and now 186 “business leaders,” they ALL can FO and Die.

I want a letter from the 81 MILLION A@@HOLES that voted for Biden to sign a damned letter.

Not to worry, voter fraud will get Joey 95 MILLION votes this time. Sign your damned letters all you want Democrats. YOU own Joey and you ALL can SUCK IT and SUCK IT GOOD!!!

[equaviator]

Pass the torch? More like slap it out of their hands!

This is no secret to republicans. Obama defended Joe back when he was VP. The reality is that republicans have been seeing Joe’s senility for a decade. Then Joe has a good day among several bad ones, and the dems, gullible as they are, believe he is fine. But the dems are not just gullible on the issue of Joe’s obvious senility. They claim Trump lied 28 times. Trump did not lie 28 times. There are 28 facts that dems aren’t willing to hear. Like inflation is far higher than it was. Gas prices are far higher than they were. And the easiest to see, millions of people are flowing across our southern border and living in our parks and airports and police stations. But dems are trying to live in a world where that is not true. Trump upset their world. So the media keeps saying Trump lied. Where is ToTo when you need him to pull back the curtain.

Joe and the evil step monster aren’t going anywhere. Hunter can do drugs in the castle walls for eternity that is all an addict thinks about.

“ As of Friday morning, the letter was signed by 186 people who said they were fearful about the future of the country.”

They aren’t fearful about the future of the country. If they were they would vote for his opponent. They are fearful about the prospects of Democrats in the upcoming election.

[Mr. Jeeves]

In the letter, the group said it admires the president’s decades of service and noted his legacy will be known as one that rescued democracy from a large threat.

The number of “top business leaders” who actually believe this would be very near zero. How much are these shills being paid?

It's a fundamental flaw in the human spirit to NOT want to "pass the torch," and it's something I never wanted to neglect. When I retired last year, even though illness was the root cause, I considered it an honor to pass the torch to the person I did. She was and is a very capable person and did just fine in the role.

That flaw in people is why you see so many businesses and even churches fail, because people don't think the world can exist without them.

It all boils down to "pride," the very sin that caused satan's downfall.
