It seems like she can corroborate her story, and I think she’s being truthful. That said, I’d be more than happy for sexual assault allegations to disqualify a candidate from running for president. Or, short of that, we could make this election in essence a referendum on sexual assault allegations. As disgusting as the Tara Reade allegations appear, Biden is still about two dozen allegations short of the sexual predator that currently resides in the White House. The lesser of two evils is always not Trump. But, why little mention of Ms. Reade in the 2020 Presidential Election thread? The fact that Trump may be worse doesn't excuse not talking about Ms. Reade. So don't try to brush it off so easily. In the MeToo era, shouldn't we believe the accusers and disqualify both? Somewhere both Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill are laughing their asses off at s Joe...

If you’re asking about my sexual assault allegation as disqualification for president remark, that’s kind of what I was getting at. I’d personally be more than happy to disqualify both as long as come January, anybody but Trump is in the White House. Obviously, it doesn’t work that way. As for no one mentioning Tara Reade, it’s for the same reason you do not come on here and mention how completely incompetent Trump is: he’s your guy. For better or worse, Joe Biden is a lot of people’s guy because he is not Trump. I’m not speaking for anybody else on this board, but that’s where I am. Biden is not ideal, but at least he’s not an unrepentant, corrupt, sociopathic POS.

Where is what purports to be the media In this country? If her allegations are true the presumptive Democrat nominee for President stuck his fingers into a woman’s genital area without permission while she was his employee. Is there not a question to be asked by someone In the mainstream media?

Because corporate Democrats run the party & media conglomerates have a stranglehold on politics in both parties... The more progressive side of the party has been all over this story the moment it resurfaced...

The more progressive side of the party has been all over this story the moment it resurfaced... To be honest, I think if it weren't for the lockdown, this would be getting a lot more attention. But he's stuck in his basement, with no press availabilities or campaign events to corner him at. As much as anything, we all know that it's as important for a media personality to be seen asking the question as opposed to getting an answer. And frankly, the longer the lockdown goes, the more likely it is that the press gets distracted by the next shiny object. Personally? I hate that both of my real choices are creepers - whether the Reade allegation is true or not. That said, one creeper has at least some track record of decency. Makes me wish that we could turn the page once and for all from this whole generation of politicians.

It should continue to be investigated and she should absolutely be heard. But you should sit this one out bro... hoyatalk2.proboards.com/thread/31042/new-low?page=1You smeared this lady and called her a liar before you even knew what her name was. You didn't even need to hear her story to call it false.

At least Ms Reade can say where, when and how she was assaulted. That puts her light years ahead of Dr. Blasey Ford.

At least Ms Reade can say where, when and how she was assaulted. That puts her light years ahead of Dr. Blasey Ford. 1) The media and law enforcement have started. 2) She's provided the same type of information actually. If not please explain how it's different? Her story has also evolved from her saying last year he touched her on the neck and shoulders to what it is now. It doesn't mean it's not true, but an inconsistency like that would be something YOU would absolutely think would be exonerating. The only thing that's changed here is your reaction to it because the party ID has changed. www.theunion.com/news/nevada-county-woman-says-joe-biden-inappropriately-touched-her-while-working-in-his-u-s-senate-office/hoyatalk2.proboards.com/post/789403hoyatalk2.proboards.com/post/789435hoyatalk2.proboards.com/post/789475So again, I think folks should take her allegations seriously.

I wish we weren't stuck with Biden but he is the lesser of two evils by a considerable amount in every respect, including sexual assault issues.

This encapsulates how I would have reacted if I were both brighter and better organized. Thanks, YaBoy. The pretense of suddenly caring now by Republicans while trying to twist it into apathy by Democrats is mind-boggling.

Tas:
You miss my point entirely. I thought Dr Ford was full of crap with a specious 30 year old claim.
I feel much the same way about Ms Reade dragging this claim out now.
My question is why the differing treatment? Where is the daily hand wringing from the entire media? Where is the presumption of guilt?
Let me know.

Obviously they're preoccupied covering this wonderful "success story"... SMFH

While the media was busy fawning over Hillary’s endorsement, the topic never came up. Why is that? Oh yes, that’s right—it was not DNC approved material...
