    Yes...I wouldn't depend on a single article being true. Certainly, sources on the left and right are not always entirely reliable.

    Though just to point out, The Intercept has a long record and is not the type of organization that would want to see the Republicans win.
    If the story was faked, it would be unlikely to be for partisan political reasons.

    The federal govt has his 1040s if there were illegal acts they’d charge. Only Joe Biden has his office paperwork. Rape is a little different then you knowing what rate trump paid last year

    Since they were only founded in 2014, their "record" can't be that long. However, in today's world, perhaps six years IS long. Founded by a billionaire techie with a staff that seems to specialize in provocations, especially regarding 1st Amendment issues. Complex questions...given an increasingly complex world, with new technologies from the Internet to Drones. But, they seem to be neutral on "party politics." I'll pay more attention to their stuff...while standing by my comment about depending on a single article. I have a slight disagreement with your comment "if the the story was faked, it would be unlikely to be for partisan political reasons." Remember, the old saying about "politics makes for strange bedfellows," and sometimes those "bedfellows" are one-night stands.

    1040s wouldn’t show that. 1040s show income and taxes paid. Have you never seen one?

    face it you’re desperate attempt to deflect from your nominee and his criminal history of violent sexual assault, has failed

    Good information and if there is no legal means to force biden to release the records I hope he doesnt show them. Also why would he keep it on file?

    So the same folks that want Trump's Tax Returns want Biden's Senate records sealed?

    WILL TARA READE’S ALLEGATION HURT BIDEN’S BID FOR THE PRESIDENCY?
    [​IMG]

    Tara Reade’s allegation that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her now has more than minimal corroboration, and certainly more corroboration than allegations, such as Christine Blasey Ford’s, that Democrats and feminists concluded were true and disqualifying. This state of affairs is highly embarrassing for Democrats and feminists, and will amount to a major blow for the MeToo movement — a blow that’s well deserved.

    This. Unless Biden is a complete and total moron, why would he leave something like that in there and deliver it to a university for posterity?

    More than likely anytime anyone puts alot of effort into keeping something hidden it is because they have something to lose.

    What happened to Americans valuing truth and transparency?
    Both “sides” should be ashamed

    EXCEPT:

    The person who called King DID NOT Say This:

    anonymous call and her saying my daughter was sexually harassed and retaliated against and fired

    The call made no reference to "sexual harassed" or "fired".

    Here is what was ACTUALLY Said:

    My daughter has just left there, after working for a prominent senator, and could not get through with her problems at all, and the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him

    So, that posted article from The Intercept has a BS Narrative.

    I disagree with this.

    I don't see Trump winning in November.

    Biden's a Lock.:salute:

    He files his 1040 like everyone else. He hasn’t made it a secret that after Harry Reid and the dems treatment of Romney’s taxes he decided not to release them.

    While that would be Hillary-ous, the Dems have no one.

    They've cheated Bernie aside, Kamala's a complete nightmare, Warren's a fraud, Michelle just wants to live the high life.

    Cuomo's a no-go, and Oprah ain't gonna run.

    Democrats?

    Done.

    He's a lock to lose, AJ.

    The Dems had FOUR long years to work this out, and they choose Biden?

    It's kind of surreal.

    There is literally no one that can save the party, let alone win in November.

    Putting all the eggs in the "Anyone is better than Trump!" basket may get folks fired up in Blueville, but it's a loser everywhere else.

    If the Dems were smart, they would have backed Tulsi - she's spectacular.

    But the Dems are just the other Republican Party at this point, and everyone sees that.

    And better the devil you know...

    It's time to send Sandy Burglar to the archives to shove it down his pants, and abscond with it.
