Bloomberg admits company signed NDAs with 3 women who complained about him
ETA: Did some cleanup.Quote:
Democratic presidential contenderMike Bloomberg announced Friday that he will allow three female former employees of his media company to be released their non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that were signed "to address complaints about comments they said I had made."
In a statement released Friday, the former New York City mayor said the agreements had been signed "over the past 30-plus years," but did not provide a specific timeframe.
"If any of them want to be released from their NDA so that they can talk about those allegations, they should contact the company and they’ll be given a release," he said.
“I’ve done a lot of reflecting on this issue over the past few days and I’ve decided that for as long as I’m running the company, we won’t offer confidentiality agreements to resolve claims of sexual harassment or misconduct going forward," Bloomberg added.
Sick of getting texts from the dems...

Okay. I just saw 2 Warren's tv ad (super tues being close), and ad was about Chairman talking good stuff about Sen Warren.
Many candidates are trying to be closer to chairman for this democratic race.

Leave all the "bros" alone!

AU H2O. Pretty funny.
Will JFK?s Party Become Sanders? Party?
https://buchanan.org/blog/will-jfks-...s-party-138205
Sen. Bernie Sanders may be on the cusp of both capturing the Democratic nomination and transforming his party as dramatically as President Donald Trump captured and remade the Republican Party.
After his sweep of the Nevada caucuses, following popular vote victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, Sanders has the enthusiasm and the momentum, as the crucial battles loom in South Carolina on Saturday and Super Tuesday on March 3.
The next eight days could decide it all.
And what is between now and next Tuesday that might interrupt Sanders? triumphal march to the nomination in Milwaukee?
One possible pitfall is tonight?s debate in South Carolina.
Sanders will be taking constant fire as a socialist whose nomination could end in a rout in November, the loss of Speaker Nancy Pelosi?s House and the forfeit of any chance of recapturing the Senate.
Yet Sanders has often been attacked along these lines, to little avail.
He?s shown himself capable of defending his positions, and attacks on Sanders may simply expose his opponents? own political desperation.
?Buchanan,? Richard Nixon once instructed me after I went to work for him in 1966, ?Whenever you hear of a coalition forming up to ?Stop X,? be sure to put your money on X.?
Nixon recalled the Cleveland governors conference after Barry Goldwater defeated Nelson Rockefeller in the California primary. There, on the Cuyahoga River, Govs. Rockefeller, George Romney and Bill Scranton colluded absurdly to derail the Goldwater express.
A second event is the anticipated endorsement of Biden by Rep. Jim Clyburn, the most influential black politician in South Carolina, who warns that nominating a socialist like Sanders invites electoral disaster.
Yet Clyburn?s endorsement could be a mixed blessing.
With it, Biden becomes the favorite in the primary where 60% of the vote is African American. If Biden cannot beat Sanders there, in his firewall state, with Clyburn behind him, where does Biden win?
Biden faces another problem: Billionaire Tom Steyer has pumped millions into South Carolina, hired black leaders and pledged to support reparations for slavery. Polls show Steyer with rising support among black voters who might otherwise have stood by Biden.
For Biden, South Carolina is do-or-die.
If he wins here, he is revived. Yet, still, he lacks the broad and deep support Sanders has and the funds Michael Bloomberg has to be competitive in all 14 states holding primaries March 3, including the megastates of Texas and California.
Sanders is predicting victories in both and has been gaining in the polls on Sen. Elizabeth Warren even in Massachusetts, her home state, which also holds its primary on Super Tuesday.
The basic question: With Biden, Buttigieg, Warren, Steyer and Klobuchar ? none of whom has beaten Sanders in the popular vote anywhere, and all competing in South Carolina and Super Tuesday three days later ? who beats a surging Sanders? When and where do they beat him?
Bloomberg can probably buy enough votes to win some states. But would the other Democratic candidates, who have fought for a year, stand aside to yield the field so this ex-Republican oligarch can save their party from Sanders? Why should they?
And where is the evidence that Bloomberg can beat Sanders? Or beat Trump?
Bloomberg?s first debate raises questions of what, besides his $60 billion, qualifies him to be on the stage or in the race.
The Democratic establishment worries that if the ?moderates? in the race do not start falling on their swords, dropping out, and joining behind a single candidate ? Biden, Buttigieg or Bloomberg ? to challenge Sanders, they will lose the nomination to Sanders and the election to Trump.
The establishment is right to worry.
While Sanders? chances of becoming president are slim, the odds he wins the nomination and reshapes the party are good and have been improving weekly.
What model does socialist Sanders have in mind for the Democratic Party? Something like the British Labour Party of Jeremy Corbyn.
?Medicare for All.? Abolition of private health insurance. War on Wall Street. The Green New Deal. Free college tuition. Forgiveness of all student debt. Open borders. Supreme Court justices committed to Roe v. Wade. Welfare for undocumented migrants. A doubling of the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
Winston Churchill once observed: ?Some regard private enterprise as if it were a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look upon it as a cow that they can milk. Only a handful see it for what it really is ? the strong horse that pulls the whole cart.?
Sanders sees free market capitalism as a fat goose that lays golden eggs and can be hectored, squeezed and beaten into producing lots more.
And those most widely receptive to his message ? are the young.
Welcome to the Party of JFK as reconceived by Bernie Sanders.
IMO.
the rush to prop bloomberg up as a centrist over the DS Bernie is causing a decent rift among D's Just as the never trumpers of the r party did. Only the left is so focused on a "they deserve it" they literally have no clue where to turn , hoping "they" can keep some semblance of power.
Like my sister said the other day, some clown show they have.
The debate tonight is a most excellent train wreck.
Biden just said as President he'd have been on the phone demanding to be let into China to figure out what's going on with Coronavirus. [LOL]
The debate tonight is a most excellent train wreck.
I thought this, and it was entertaining as well.
FTR, Bernie is the worst possible nominee for economic reaction. The latest dives have had less to do with Corona and more to do with his successes.
It would be wise to start moving into bonds before super Tuesday, imho. Any CO independents, smartest thing to do is use the dem ticket to cast for whoever-is-closest besides Bern just before the deadline. Who that is, don't know.
Another pretty good entertaining train wreck last night. It looked like Bloomberg had more coaching before this one and it also looked like most everyone aimed their flames at poor old Bernie instead of Bloomy.
The Dems have to be in full panic going forward. If the rest of the party is anything like the nominee's that they are putting on stage, they got real problems as a party.
Warren seemed to me to be running defense for Bernie.
Did anyone else catch the comments by Bloomberg that seemed to support Trump on the economy?
Hint:
(Donald Trump)
So, how much did Pete get paid to drop out?
I just read that.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/buttig...esidential-bid
yikes! probably going to get offered Vice Presidency. My guess is DNC wanted him to drop out for more so that Bin Biden would get more action.
I guess he already paid for the commercials that I continue to see run locally.
Watching the Bloomberg Town Hall on Fox News. They finally called him out on having a fully armed security detail but wants to restrict everyone else's rights. Then he answers the question by saying he is only against minors, crazies, and felons from having guns. LIE.
Then a guy who seemed reasonable tried to follow up that question and he was drowned out by some protesters whining about racism or something. Went to commercial and then Bret Baier and Martha decide to move on from guns and go to climate change. Pretty piss poor by Fox. They scratched the surface and exposed his BS and then let him slide to the next topic. Hopefully people saw through that shit show.
I always put thumbs down on any repeating ads.
I tumb downed bloomberg ad over 10 times , and I still get them.
I guess they want me to buy a YouTube premium to avoid those ads. LoL.
I'm wondering if it's better to let the whole ad play, and also click on it. Then it forces them to pay the YouTube channel it's playing on, which in my case is usually someone I like anyway.
Ad blockers are awesome
if someone has android ad blocker app recommendation, let me know. Downloaded some in the past and it wasn't working well.
In sufficient numbers, winning strategy. IIRC skips inside of a few seconds are no charge. But watching say fifteen and then skipping is a full charge (I forget exact threshold and my info might be old). So... Support the channels you do agree with by letting ads you disagree with run for half a minute :D effectively sending assholes money to better people and depriving them of more ad impressions to other people.if they are pay-per-click, then click the crap out of it! Conservative sites should have Google ad-links for high dollar liberal Google ad words. Hilarious way to donate if you cantotherwise afford to.
