Report: Trump Lawyers Wanted Kushner Out.   Every time he talks to King Cheeto or anyone in the WH, he increases the potential legal liability for those he talked to.

Rethugs Want To Criminalize Exposure Of Criminal Activity By Private Companies. Would it shock you if you learned that one of the companies is owned by the Koch Brothers, and that the Arkansas legislature jumped to their defense?

Russia Used Facebook To Organize Anti-Immigrant Protests In US.  I admit I had no idea just how extensive their meddling in the election was. The FBI knew about so much of this, yet kept the lid on.

How Slimy Legal Tricks Tip The Scales Of Corporate Justice. Must-reading for every member of the Court Of Chancery.  That Chuck Cooper guy has been a pox on America for decades. BTW, Jeff Sessions has retained him as counsel concerning Sessions’ role in the Russian collusion investigation.

Hillary: ‘Don’t Blame Me’. This review sums up why I think she lost.  Some operative quotes:

But by and large, Clinton’s efforts to understand populism always get short-circuited, probably because taking it seriously might lead one to conclude that working people have a legitimate beef with her and the Democratic party.

Countless inconvenient items get deleted from her history. She only writes about trade, for example, in the most general terms; Nafta and the TPP never. Her husband’s program of bank deregulation is photoshopped out. The names Goldman Sachs and Walmart never come up…

…Hillary Clinton simply cannot escape her satisfied white-collar worldview – compulsively listing people’s academic credentials, hobnobbing with officers from Facebook and Google, and telling readers how she went to Davos in 1998 to announce her philosophy.

More R’s Head For Exits.  Michigan US Rep. Dave Trott to retire after two terms. Was maybe facing right-wing challenge. Swing district.

The Legacy Of Sex-Positive Stores. ‘Good vibrations’ a triumph of feminism. Will Amazon rule this world as well?

What do you want to talk about?
