We are learning a lot about people these days.  Two attorneys, for example, have turned out to be the lowest form of life.

    A bridge too far is Boies representing The NY Times and hiring Black Cube against them simultaneously. A bridge too far is not far enough.

Attorney Lisa Bloom has spent decades portraying herself as a preeminent defender of women’s rights, but, according to a new book on the Weinstein sex assault scandal and the ensuing #MeToo movement, Bloom tossed her moral compass and proposed maligning alleged victims of accused rapist Harvey Weinstein—provided the disgraced movie would pay a steep fee.
As the New York Times reports, Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor, authors of She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement, obtained a copy of a confidential memo Bloom sent to Weinstein in 2016 in the wake of actress Rose McGowan going public with assault allegations against Weinstein after maintaining nearly 20 years of silence, and trying to repair a career McGowan claims Weinstein had tried to destroy.
In the memo, Bloom plays up her bona fides as a victims’ advocate as the reason she would be perfect to silence McGowan by hurting the actress’ reputation.
“I feel equipped to help you against the Roses of the world, because I have represented so many of them,” Bloom wrote, and laid out a playbook of how to scare off accusers or paint them as liars. One tactic Bloom suggested for dealing with McGowan: “We can place an article re her becoming increasingly unglued, so that when someone Googles her this is what pops up and she’s discredited.”

Lisa Bloom is hideous.

Starting in the US where the race for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination continues.  Isaiah's latest THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS went up a few hours ago and is entitled "Jeff Bezos' Nightmare."

Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are the only Democratic presidential contenders polling in double-digits, according to a Washington Post-ABC poll released Sunday

That's one poll.  This morning, there's another.  Anthonay Salvanto, Jennifer De Pinto, Kabir Khanna and Fred Backus (CBS NEWS) note:

But Warren has made strong gains on electability. Among those considering supporting her, the percentage who think she would probably beat Mr. Trump has jumped 16 points since June, from 39% then to 55% now.
Sanders has also made some gains on electability. More of his potential supporters now think he would probably beat Mr. Trump (58%) than said that in June (51%) or July (50%).


FORTUNE's Ros Kransy and BLOOMBERG NEWS examine the new poll and note, "Among those considering supporting the Massachusetts senator, the percentage who think she would probably beat President Donald Trump in 2020 has jumped 16 percentage points since June, to 55% from 39%. That cuts into Biden’s key argument that he’s the Democrat most likely to beat Trump."

80% of Warren supporters in new early-state poll say they'd be enthusiastic or satisfied if Sanders won the nomination. Basically the same results for Sanders supporters asked about Warren.

Joe Biden continues to struggle despite so many in the press propping the War Hawk up.  In an appearance on NPR last Tuesday, he clearly lied claiming he had immediately expressed opposition to the Iraq War after it started.  Lie.

Joe Biden lying about Iraq shows why our nation has so many wars








How fortunate he's got Glenn Kessler (WASHINGTON POST) on his side to lie for him.  Glenn 'reports' on it today.  Six days after the fact.  He refuses to call it a lie because he waited to 'report' until he got Anthony Blinken's response.  Blinken says Joe mispoke.  Joe doesn't know how to speak?  Joe doesn't know his own record?  Blinken's ridiculous response requires a fact check of its own but, don't worry, Glenn will never do that.

A fact check, by the way, that takes six days to conduct over something this basic really argues that Glenn's not up to doing fact checks -- a point we've made before including when he went out of his way to misconstrue what Beto O'Rourke said in order to call Beto a liar.  The real liar is Glenn Kessler.  And his self-brag that he was reporting on Iraq before and after the start of the war in 2003 should not be seen as a good thing.  The fact that he was reporting on it and doing so in a one-sided manner that failed to question the push to war tells you everything you need to know about liar Glenn Kessler.



Liars like Glenn are why the Iraq War started.  His nonsense he does today is the sort of misdirection liars like Glenn are experts in.  Reality, Iraq is in shambles.

Iraq is not stable.  It is a failed state.  And it's amazing how few in the US media bother to pay attention to that reality or any of the warning signs in plain sight.
