When I think of Trump's (which is far more often than I think of any President's genitalia except perhaps for William Taft's), I always imagine something which looks like that, except less happy.

Guardian gets early look at Stormy Daniels' Full Disclosure
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/18/stormy-daniels-tell-all-book-on-trump-salacious-detail-and-claims-of-cheating
In the book, Daniels writes in sometimes excruciating detail about the president’s genitals
FINALLY!!!
She describes Trump’s penis as “smaller than average” but “not freakishly small.”
“He knows he has an unusual penis,” Daniels writes. “It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool…
“I lay there, annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart...
“It may have been the least impressive sex I’d ever had, but clearly, he didn’t share that opinion.”
Dunno!
It's going dark under Rule 12g-4(a)(1), which AFAIK requires less than s'holders of record or <500 and less than $10M assets.
Haas seems to be a manager at the Hackett Group
https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertymhaas/
https://www.thehackettgroup.com/about/
which I think is a fairly large, credible management consultancy focused on IP stuff.
A guess: maybe creditors/licensors have rought in Hackett to salvage value from the patents?
Anyway, don't see a good story in this for s/holders.

Looking to the differences, Trump's huge net disapproval rating amongst women is really interesting.
According to the order granting Medbridge's motion to dismiss, it was simply on jurisdictional grounds. The judge found that KWCO hadn't established that Medbridge was subject to Texas jurisdiction and dismissed the complaint just on that basis, without going to the merits. There wasn't any settlement.
I guess maybe KWCO could go ahead and file a new complaint against Medbridge in California, dunno.
I think I noted earlier that KWCO dismissed its complaint against VG, apparently because it considers VG to be defunct & not worth pursuing.
On 9th April the court dismissed the remaining complaint against Medbridge, on jurisdictional grounds.
Some hints at where Palantir is heading:
https://www.cbinsights.com/research/palantir-patents-data-mining
A cluster of recently published patent applications— two of them just last week — show that:
- Palantir wants to be able to parse datasets as large as trillions of email messages.
- It wants to use household data such as income and other signals to predict consumers’ future actions, such as cancelling a subscription service.
- In a very “Minority Report” type patent, Palantir also wants to use data points connected to individuals to predict future criminal activity.
I think that might be something from a non-canonical "prosperity theology" text. Perhaps "The Letter of Paul to the Mutual Fund Managers With Below Average Sharpe Ratios".
Most people believe women (such as Daniels) over Trump. Most think Trump is not a good role model. Most think Trump has no sense of decency. Oh and his approval rating is steady if not climbing a little. https://t.co/K39A4B8ieG

Despite these early missteps, Cambridge Analytica quickly signed on a host of new clients thanks to the Mercers, who leveraged their position as megadonors to effectively strong-arm politicians into using their new firm. “It was the Mercers that made people work with us,” an early Cambridge employee told me. Cambridge boasted eight clients at the federal level in 2013 and 2014, and members of the Mercer family have supplied financial backing to each of them, including to five during that election cycle. One was former Ambassador John Bolton’s super-PAC, a potential vehicle for a presidential run. During the 2014 midterms, Robert Mercer gave $1 million to the group, which soon paid Cambridge more than $340,000 to develop Cambridge’s personality-based targeting on the issue of national security. It was an odd arrangement: Recipients of Mercer money would turn around and pay a vendor partly owned by the Mercers. (Rebekah Mercer did not respond to requests for comment.)
It's a good piece, which makes it clear that CA was just hype & that candidates & PAC's kept using them mainly because of the Mercers.
It's a great movie, made by the same guy who did "Death of Stalin".
But realistically, why would most people want to be in Congress if they can make more money doing something else?

“Cambridge Analytica is completely inept,” another Republican campaign consultant said. “I refused to hire them because after the sales pitch in the lovely British accent, Nix couldn’t sufficiently answer any questions or satisfactorily back up any of his fanciful claims. I concluded that he was a snake oil salesman incapable of helping anyone win or lose an election.”
The unfortunate situation here is that the latest rube to buy this snake oil appears to be special counsel Robert Mueller, firm in his commitment to investigating whatever’s trending on Twitter. According to ABC News, his probe has already been asking questions and intends to investigate the relationship between Cambridge Analytica, the Republican National Committee, and the Trump campaign.
That relationship, according to multiple sources, is simple: Cambridge was inherited from the Cruz campaign, failed to deliver on its promises early on, and was dismissed in September 2016, with a preference for the RNC’s own digital game and Brad Parscale.
That fits perfectly with my reaction to Nix on the Channel 4 sting, registering zero on the credibilitometer.
The question now is: will she make a 3rd party run in 2020 or will the Dems recruit her?
After Trump, objections to a porn star as Pres would look pretty lame.
Trump spent more time deriding Bolton’s mustache in the transition than focusing on why he didn’t want him as nsa. Kelly was said by multiple sources to have played role in souring Trump on Kelly - Kelly had a bigger problem with him than Trump did.

His superPAC thing was funded by Mercer and spent relatively large amounts with Cambridge Analytica ...

It's good to see kids pulling their weight, so to speak.
Let's see how long Trump can stand to look at his mustache.
That was my first thought too. Also: he really got a security clearance?

I think there's a chance that CA turns out to be like the Theranos of data science. Big sales pitch, smoke & mirrors, combination of generic stuff & useless crap out the back. People kept them on because of Mercer $$$.
Cable was far more important than CA or even FB for the election.

Technically I didn't sleep with the POTUS 12 years ago. There was no sleeping (hehe) and he was just a goofy reality TV star. But I digress...People DO care that he lied about it, had me bullied, broke laws to cover it up, etc. And PS...I am NOT going anywhere. xoxoxo https://t.co/Js9sEnanIk

That's from when she was auditioning for the Theranos CEO gig.
Great chart.
Channel 4's follow-up: https://www.channel4.com/news/exposed-undercover-secrets-of-donald-trump-data-firm-cambridge-analytica
Personally, reinforces my view that Cambridge Analytica & Nix tend towards the "blowhard moron" end of the spectrum.
Nate Silver probably has it right:
In terms of Facebook's influence on the election, Cambridge Analytica is an order of magnitude less important than News Feed's tendency to signal-boost relatively sensational, partisan news sources. https://t.co/RCJRQkIP3f

The UK Channel 4 Cambridge Analytica sting: https://www.channel4.com/news/cambridge-analytica-revealed-trumps-election-consultants-filmed-saying-they-use-bribes-and-sex-workers-to-entrap-politicians-investigation
Cambridge Analytica claims "entrapment & mischaracterization": https://ca-commercial.com/news/cambridge-analytica-responds-use-entrapment-and-mischaracterization-channel-4-news
----------------------------------------------
However CEO Alexander Nix acknowledges that on this occasion he misjudged the situation:
“In playing along with this line of conversation, and partly to spare our ‘client’ from embarrassment, we entertained a series of ludicrous hypothetical scenarios. I am aware how this looks, but it is simply not the case. I must emphatically state that Cambridge Analytica does not condone or engage in entrapment, bribes or so-called ‘honeytraps’, and nor does it use untrue material for any purpose.
“I deeply regret my role in the meeting and I have already apologised to staff. I should have recognised where the prospective client was taking our conversations and ended the relationship sooner.”
------------------------------------------------
Alex is in that difficult position where he must present as either a moron or a scumbag & does an exceptionally poor job of playing his very weak hand. Presumably he, at any rate, is toast.
Rebekah Mercer is "working to be part of the solution": https://www.thedailybeast.com/rebekah-mercer-stands-by-cambridge-analytica
I wonder if part of Rebekah's solution-efforts include getting some disaster consultancy in the US to draft the CA release above, with its American "z" in "mischaracterization" ...
Some commentary around the place suggests their data operation has been greatly overrated in the US & that the main reason they're hired by campaigns & PAC's is because it's a precondition for getting your snout into the Mercer trough.
Not even he was fully clothed, in a Hillary mask & pantsuit?
Well-practiced but lacking the fiery impetuosity of youth?
So what does she have to say that he's so desperate to shut her up about?
My obvious guess would be that he couldn't get it up, except in her interview she said something like normal-but-boring.
In the interview I read, she said it was "one position", OK but not that exciting, kind of what you'd expect from a man his age.
Unfortunately.
Not that I was interested or anything!
I used to be on the board of this company where the other people were all "prosperity Christians". Meetings would open with a prayer for wealth. I was always hoping for the bolt-of-fire/scorpions thing to happen, but after I left the room.
