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?

You can be the most loving, compassionate person in the world... but... if you’re not actively guarding your mind...you will become desensitized to human suffering...in ways that are far beyond what you would ever consider acceptable.
They’re not hiding the brutality anymore.
They want you to see it.
They want you to get used to it.👇

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.
