would be huge fines and long prison times. Also, we need our laws updated to make it easier sue and win against those crooks.

lines as they see the headlines and while they might not buy the rag the headline still sticks with them which can come in handy when you are trying to subconsciously manipulate a large number of voters.

They default because they can't pay, and he takes over the entire company.

kept the WaPo alive and doing crucial investigations of the government.


But, he is terrible to amazon workers. We need to remember this and not worship him.

Remember Bezos has been pitting cities against each other in a free advertisement media blitz for which city and state can provide hime with the most corporate welfare.

He hates trump. But, he is greedy. He doesn't care about people and I am glad the city government in NYC is standing up to him!

When Amazon wasn't profitable for years, one might understand low pay for the folks at the bottom. But Amazon is plenty profitable now, so continuing the low pay and over dependence on part time jobs is inexcusable.

Once you learn how they micromanage the warehouse workers, and rely on government to subsidize their workers, you learn they are know better than walmart.

They could easily pay all their employees and contract workers a living wage, but the top is greedy.

I would be happy to see Trump and Bezos destroy each other.

or at least as a settlement of said damages -- a court cannot actually order you to be someone's butler, to borrow a Seinfeld example -- along with a full admission of wrongdoing and a lot of other AMI assets.

My preference would be Bezos wins it as part of a court settlement and publishes four more issues: one destroying Pecker, one destroying McConnell, one destroying Jarvanka and the last destroying Trump.

I’d like to see more than one published about Trump. I’d like to see dozens- an issue about each Trump criminal enterprise; about his “businesses”, about his business failures, etc.

I’d like to see maybe six months of nothing but Trump truth issues.

pictures of him without the comb over, his total lack of money, as well as everything he can about his criminality - go into the past. He told a young woman he had another minor young woman who was raped by him and said she'd sue him killed, along with her family. Go after him for lies to his base, the tax cuts and medical care and Mexico paying for the wall come to mind. All negative on drumpf and repugs, all the time.

I'd rather see him make Amazon products affordable to seniors and not force people to buy cases when they only need one. Seems only the upper middle class can shop there. I sure can't.

Practically, no. That would mean Bezos would be reimbursing the financiers who gave the Enquirer a sudden influx of mysterious cash to remain afloat a few years ago.

Unless he can buy it for next-to-nothing. Which is a tad over it's true value---nothing.

A fitting end for it would be to have that mercenary two faced skunk Geraldo Rivera come in and do a purge of the catch-and-kill vault.

Shutter NE's ass and bring back the Weekly World News complete with Batboy and a Trumpian trashing garnish.

It's only right... This should happen.
