The business community is purportedly wise to Trump and if there's a sequel they likely will "act when they see autocratic power abuses and assaults upon the national character."

Time columnist and Yale University professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld reflects back on his two decades of ties to the 45th president and how the thinking that C-suite executives are going to pay fealty to the former president isn't so.

"The hunches that CEOs are enthusiastic for Trump’s return are not based upon any stated first-hand endorsements from CEOs," he writes, adding that among the top corporation leaders that he's rubbed elbows with "they largely want nothing to do with him now."...

The Supreme Court risks making a fool out of itself by ruling on the Donald Trump insurrectionist ballot challenge, a Yale historian said on Friday.

Renowned Yale Prof. Timothy Snyder, who previously said Putin wants Trump to win because the former president shows our "system is rotten," spoke out about the Supreme Court's involvement in the various state-based ballot cases.

Claudia Trevisan had traveled to Yale University in the hope of securing an interview with the president of Brazil's supreme court. Instead, she found herself writing a very different legal story. Soon after arriving on campus she was arrested, handcuffed and held in a cell for several hours.

A number of people have written in and asked me to comment on this incident at Yale where a bunch of douchebag frat boys yelled a bunch of pro-rape stuff around housing where a lot of young women live. It’s obvious to me this is as classic as it gets when you’re talking about the homosocial support for rape. While it’s unlikely that all, or even most, of the frat members who did this enjoy raping women, someone thought it was just a great idea to remind the women of Yale that this threat is ever-present. You don’t have to rape to exploit the fear that rape instills in women.
