Donald Trump said he’ll “be involved in” deciding if Netflix can buy Warner Bros.

Is that an open invite for CEOs to curry favor with Trump in exchange for merger approvals?

It should be an independent decision by the Department of Justice based on the law and facts.
Q: Should Netflix be allowed to buy Warner Brothers?

TRUMP: That's a question. They have a very big market share. I'll be involved in that decision

John Roberts has been a GOP operative, in "institutionalist" clothing, through all of his career.

Chapter and verse, here: www.harvardmagazine.com/legal/suprem...

He was on GWBush team during the 2000 Florida recount battles.

Think: Mike Johnson, with Harvard vs LSU pedigree.

Three late November tropical cyclones have devastated cities and villages in countries around the Indian Ocean.

When "a region unused to tropical cyclones has had three in a week, the world needs to ask why this happened, not look away."
