  1. Another View

    The Limits of Divestiture as an Antitrust Remedy 

    "Ultimately, an overstated defense of the divestiture remedy may reflect the single oldest criticism of antitrust law. Preserving a remedy that allows the agencies to show that they are doing something, without actually taking meaningfully aggressive action, maintains a political compromise both sides can live with.
    The public gets apparent protection from monopoly, while industry is left with pretty much what it wants."

    More mergers should not go forward.

  2. Conservative Talk Radio Stands by Trump Despite Turmoil 

    President Rump was created by the talk radio audience.
    He promulgates their opinions.


  3. A HUD Official Once Criticized Trump. Now He’s an Ex-Official. 

    Ideological purity seems to be required. 


  4. Melania Trump Thanks Model Who Defended Her Against a Reporter’s Insult 

    Melania can do that. 
    The thought that Melania is a hooker will stay with me.


  5. Transcript and Video: Trump News Conference 

    I haven't the patience. 
    Trump lives in a talk radio bubble.


  6. Nicholas Kristof

    What Did Trump Know, and When Did He Know It? 

    Yes, we need to know the president is bound by his oath of office. 
    If he is not, his power must be removed.
    The line of succession must not be triggered.


  7. Trump Denounces ‘Low-Life Leakers,’ Pledging to Hunt Them Down 

    We have had other adventures with "plumbers". 


  8. Ex-Admiral and Member of Navy SEALs Is Top Choice to Replace Flynn 

    He is another "man of action." 
    He is not the man to fill a planning position.


  9. Trump, in Rambling Defense, Calls Administration a ‘Fine-Tuned Machine’ 

    There has been little action from the Trump gang.
    The "Mess" was doing the job 


  10. White House Plans to Have Trump Ally Review Intelligence Agencies 

    "President Trump plans to assign a New York billionaire to lead a broad review of American intelligence agencies, according to administration officials, an effort that members of the intelligence community fear could curtail their independence and reduce the flow of information that contradicts the president’s worldview."

    Intelligence agencies "speak truth to power".
