I’m not suggesting she should kiss ass, far be it from me. But I still don’t see a good motive for this move. A civil suit is not going to get her anything, she’s just highlighting Trumps symbolic bullshit even more.
And then when the suit either goes against her or goes for her but results in laughibly low compensation because the measureable harm is not significant, then it will look like a confirmation of the power of the convict in chief.

I was talking about Google kissing Trump’s ass. Which is why this is happening.
It takes an act of congress to rename a domestic post office. Google has taken his executive order and decided it’s true for everyone, at least parenthetically.
