Dan Rather -to MATTHEWS SLOT-please play HARDBALL

Let's petition MSNBC to hire Dan Rather to fill Chris Matthews slot until the end of the year---he can have fellow Texan Willie Nelson on for his first show and have a ratings bonanza for the station----betcha he would steal a lot of the Fox audience too----a lot of them were fans when he reported the best news --

NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT becomes FULL DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

Supposing Mike Bloomberg offered all of the current 17 victims in the Trump’s sexual assault cases that are wallowing in the courts an immediate settlement double to what they are seeking? For their compensation they would offer not the traditional NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT ---but rather a FULL DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT detailing the circumstances and the behavior of their assailant. Now remember that Trump has offered to pay the legal fees for any of the goons that would attack a protester at his rallies, here Bloomberg would pay the legal costs (if any) of the women involved. For Bloomberg it could be a bit cathartic, and certainly put him in a better light for his NDAs.

For the victims it would expedite their cases and give them immediate justice. I think it would also be a shot in the arm for women's rights when they could see the possibility of alternate means to justice--

Russians --Trump Pee Tape for sale for $20 million

No source here --but my speculation . I am wondering if you would would consider it unethical if Michael Bloomberg were to buy the tape (if it was available) and used it in his current ad campaign. Do you think it would be permissible under the Supreme Court's concept of permitting independent expenditures for political communications by corporations. It seems as though it might be permitted to pay off a porn star to be silent about a candidate, but I am wondering if they could also be compensated for a complete disclosure? What do you think?

About New Haven

A child of the 60's, a lifelong Democrat and a sense that our elected officials , especially the President, set the tone of civility in our great country. I worked on JFK's campaign and on Barack Obama's (twice). High School Class of 1963 I was moved by MLK's March on Washington, and to see that go full circle and have Barack Obama for President is quite gratifying. When I see remnants of the John Birch society still quite active in the Tea Party/MAGA it strengthens my beliefs and support of the Democratic Party.
