- Trump has figured out the secret to getting away with astounding criminality: In modern politics it's not the crime that gets you, it's the cover-up. Other than the #epstein files, MAGA doesn't do cover-ups; all the financial thieving is loud and proud. May 20, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- Any DOJ settlement that gives the President a dollar -- or a direct material benefit -- is a plain-as-day violation of the Presidential Emoluments Clause: "The President shall not receive ... any other Emolument from the United States, or any of [the states]."

- It cannot bind, because you cannot rely to your detriment on a promise you make to yourself. The document itself is an unconstitutional violation of the presidential oath. May 19, 2026 James Grimmelmann

I bought a RAV4 last fall after spending $2000 on fuel tank repairs for my 2005 LeSabre in 2009 and replacing the transmission on the same car in 2008, at a cost of $4500. Fitzgerald Buick in Rockville wouldn’t even tell me what was wrong with the transmission, so I sent a nasty e-mail to Jack Fitzgerald and told him to kiss my ass, I’d never buy another GM vehicle. I rented a RAV4 in August to take my daughter to Atlanta, and I liked it. I talked to a mechanic after that who said his sister owned a RAV4, and had 225,000 miles on it. She replaced the transfer cases after 210,000 miles, but had done nothing else to it. At the time I bought the RAV4, consumer reports still rated it very high, at least equal to the Honda CRV. My RAV4 has a six cylinder engine and 4 wheel drive, XM radio, six-disk player, enhanced sound, bluetooth, and, most important, the strengthened suspension package for towing.
