"Alexander the Great, or Napoleon the small, or maybe the Antichrist?" Or just a smalltime reality-tv-actor, who became president, by any means. I'm just saying, Reagan did it as a western actor. Seems like americans are not that complicated.

8647 means to exclude 47 sea shells, which brings the total left to three. Because it's a 3 seashell joke in reference to demolition man
"demolition man" also works great as a reference

So with the airline merger, there would have been one airline as a result: Spirit+JetBlue, and with the merger blocked and Spirit going away, there's one airline as a result: JetBlue. Duffy's being intellectually dishonest arguing that this is worse for consumers. So what I want to know is, what does he stand to gain from his speech?

l'arc deTriomphe was built as Napolean's grandiose Memorial to himself and now your Pres. Trump is planning an Arch in his bid for self-glorification and re-writing of history. No doubt the columns will memorialise his Stopping of 10 Wars!
A steal at another $1 Billion of US Taxpayers hard earned!!

I started playing 8647 and 8649 on the 'cash 4' lottery scam.
( I wonder if Trump would sue the lottery if those numbers came up)

If Donald Trump is proof WHITE PRIVILEGE is real, proof racism is alive and well in the United States! If I'm lying, ask yourself if Obama was caught paying off a porn star, showing up in the epstien files, defrauding the American people whiles taking money, gifts, investments from foreign nations they wouldn't lock him up? I don't have time to list all the horrible things Trump, the Trump family, the Trump Administration, and dodge has done to American citizens as well as the rest of the world. There is blood on the hands of Americans who voted fo this parasitic president. But just another day because of social media agendas. Smh 🤦♂️

I don't care what you say, Trump is the king of morons.
He's sick in the head just enough, to attract the other psychopaths to follow him.
It was assumed psychopaths take up 10% of the population, but I think it's the Trump followers in USA.

A good question to ask Blanche: "You mentioned witnesses and documents. Now that he's been indicted, he's entitled to Discovery. So you have no reason to keep the witnesses and documents secret. Who and what are they?" , Watch Toddy blanche – pun intended.

The JetBlue/Spirit Airlines merger was blocked by a U.S. District Court due to anticompetitive harm. JetBlue abandoned the acquisition thereafter, paying Spirit a divorce fee of $69 million for the failure to merge.
The US Department of Justice, Antitrust Division and the Federal Trade Commission pursue antitrust cases on the basis of harm to competition. This is generally measured by harm to consumers, but there are other measures of harm. By the way, you can thank Robert Bork (yes, that Robert Bork) for the paternalistic view that the government takes in this kind of matter. There's something called the Horizontal Merger Guidelines (https://www.justice.gov/atr/horizontal-merger-guidelines-0) that is a kind of guidebook to the kinds of cases that are pursued by the government. It is updated occasionally. There used to be something called the Vertical Merger Guidelines, but those were kind of a clusterfuck.
I"m happy to take any questions.
