In the latest in a long list of travesties carried out by the US government in the Megaupload case, apparently it went to the US court handling the case, and without letting Megaupload know, got an ex parte order allowing the government to share evidence…

In a deep dive into what the future holds for Donald Trump after he reluctantly steps down as president of the United States on Wednesday, a public relations expert told Bloomberg that Trump shouldn't expect to cash in on his name anymore by simply slapping it on consumer products.
Prior to becoming president, the New York businessman was moderately successful selling ties, steaks, vodka and wine under the Trump brand. After four controversial years in the White House that encompassed a pandemic that has taken over 400,000 American lives, a collapsed economy and accusations the president incited a riot at the U.S. Capitol that left five dead, there may be little appetite for anything that bears the Trump name.
"The View" celebrated the birthday of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday by discussing race relations in the United States and how necessary it is to change hearts and minds of the remaining minority of Americans who still uphold racist ideologies.
Among those are many in the White House, who perpetuated the racist birther conspiracy about former President Barack Obama. Even First Lady Melania Trump was part of those who claimed that Obama wasn't born in the United States years before launching her anti-bullying campaign "Be Best."
President Donald Trump is not expected to pardon himself or members of his family when he issues around 100 pardons before leaving office this week.
Multiple news outlets reported on Monday that Trump is expected to issue about 100 pardons for people, including white collar criminals and at least one high-profile rapper.
