The BIG news of the day .. Dancing With the Stars' decision to cast Sean Spicer in its latest season has drawn a sharp rebuke on social media, with some calling on ABC to reverse course and dump the disgraced former White House press secretary. "Sean Spicer repeatedly lied to the American people and literally defended Hitler," Big Bang Theory co-creator Bill Prady bemoaned on Twitter. Community vet Yvette Nicole Brown, whose previous ABC credits The Mayor, called Spicer's hiring "very problematic." Rosewell showrunner Carina Adly MacKenzie implored ABC to "do better."

Donald Trump's Twitter habit has caused no shortage of controversy during his presidency. Now, Democrats are hoping to turn it into a liability for his re-election. One of the party's top think tanks has been privately encouraging lawmakers and candidates to attack the president for failing to deliver on the promises he made because he's too consumed by social media. It is, undoubtedly, the first case of a campaign tactic geared towards turning a president's online behavior into a liability; though rarely has a president's reliance on - and use of - a media bullhorn been such a defining personality trait. Those pushing it have offered new polling data to bolster the idea that the argument will move voters. About two months ago, the Center for American Progress commissioned the firm Civis to test messaging that framed Trump not as corrupt or unethical but as "ineffective" - and to attribute that ineffectiveness to his being absorbed by his Twitter feed. The results were notable. Of the six messages tested on Trump, the idea that he was "more focused on his Twitter account than on delivering on his promises" was the only one that consistently moved the vote towards Democrats, including among Obama-Trump voters. .. two questions .. why would you telegraph this strategy to The Daily Beast ? .. why would you make an issue of something that was ineffective ?

Senate Dems deliver stunning warning to Supreme Court: 'Heal' or face restructuring Several high-profile Senate Democrats warned the Supreme Court in pointed terms this week that it could face a fundamental restructuring if justices do not take steps to "heal" the court in the near future. The ominous and unusual warning was delivered as part of a brief filed Monday in a case related to a New York City gun law. Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., referenced rulings by the court's conservative majority in claiming it is suffering from some sort of affliction that must be remedied. "The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it," the brief said. "Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be 'restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.'"

Cuomo was interviewed by Curtis Sliwa on his AM 970 radio show in January 2010 about whether his brother Andrew might seek the Democratic nomination for governor. Sliwa said he dubbed the Cuomo family “la Cuomo Nostra.” “There is a group of people — politicos — who always hint they might run, but not necessarily plunge all the way, and they are members of la Cuomo.” “Who am I, then, Fredo?” Cuomo asked in response. “Yes, exactly,” Sliwa said. “So you better be careful that your brother Andrew doesn’t kiss you on both cheeks and then all of a sudden they take you out on the middle of the lake and where’s Chris?” “He kisses me plenty because he’s a great big brother,” Cuomo said. https://nypost.com/2019/08/13/chris-cuomo-once-referred-to-himself-as-fredo-in-radio-interview/

South Korea retaliated against Japan on Monday in a diplomatic and trade dispute between the two key American allies, deciding to remove its neighbor from its list of countries entitled to preferential treatment in trade. South Korea's tit-for-tat action had been expected since Japan took a similar action against South Korea on Aug. 2. Still, the move provided Washington with fresh evidence that neither South Korea nor Japan would back down anytime soon, even though President Trump has urged them both to "sit down and get along with each other." But there is a call to guard against "antagonistic nationalism." .. So to start, is it "Japanese nationalism" or "South Korean nationalism" ?
