Joe Biden's campaign is twisting a New York Times story to defend against the Tara Reade allegations

**** Stacey Abrams. She has absolutely no principles.

I never liked Joe. Before this whole rape story blew, I was willing to vote for him because at least he's no where near as stupid as Trump. I mean, nobody else could possibly be that stupid. Obviously, Trump was dropped on the head as a child, and then ate five tons of paint chips, and then had a lobotomy, and then watched hours and hours of daytime TV, and then....you get the point. He's ****ing dumb and Joe is less dumb.

But now that Joe is probably a rapist I think I'll just not vote at all. Between a rapist and a retard, I'll just stay home on election day.

 

+1, credit where credit is due.

 

I whole heartedly agree it's best that you don't vote.

 

I support Joe's right to be considered innocent until proven guilty, as I did for Kavanaugh.

 

Agree but senility has to be on the table.

 

So, you think OJ is innocent, right?

Innocent until proven guilty only applies to criminal liability. We're all still free to make reasonable deductions and vote accordingly.

 

Trump's retardation is far worse than Joe's senility. Joe will at least appoint and defer to the right people--not his inept family members and/or other retard know-nothings who say nice things about him.

The worst part about Trump is he thinks he's a genius and doesn't defer to anybody. I think Joe is well aware that he's not the brightest. He'll appoint the best and the brightest and listen to them

 

I agree. I don't mean to take away your right to make up your own mind.

I just don't tend to make accusations myself unless I was there or there is overwhelming evidence against the accused.

 

The Biden campaign is flat out lying about the NYT piece.

CORRUPT LECHER TO HELP SELECT FEMALE RUNNING MATE FOR BEIJING BIDEN

Former Senator Chris Dodd has been named co-chairman of the committee that will help Joe Biden pick a vice presidential nominee. Dodd resigned from the Senate after a string of favor-trading scandals.


David Harsanyi reminds us:

Most scandalously, Dodd had slipped an amendment into the 2008 “stimulus” bill ensuring that AIG executives would get their bonuses paid by taxpayers. AIG, not incidentally, had donated more to Dodd, who initially lied about the provision, than to any other politician in the country, and given his wife a cushy board seat on a Bermuda-based company in their orbit. The chairman of Senate Banking Committee had also been one of the “Friends of Angelo,” a program in which Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo would hand sweetheart below-market rate mortgages to his friends in D.C. And that wasn’t all.

Helped by his longtime friend Harvey Weinstein, who had made Dodd the top beneficiary of his political contributions during his career, the former senator would find work as Hollywood’s top lobbyist — even though he had repeatedly promised not work as a lobbyist once his career ended.​

 

Biden will consider only women for the vice presidential nomination. Dodd will help select the woman.

Dodd has experience selecting women. He used to accompany Ted Kennedy on his depraved, predatory tours of D.C. restaurants and bars. 1990 GQ article:

It is after midnight and Kennedy and Dodd are just finishing up a long dinner in a private room on the first floor of the restaurant’s annex. They are drunk. Their dates, two very young blondes, leave the table to go to the bathroom. (The dates are drunk too. “They’d always get their girls very, very drunk,” says a former Brasserie waitress.) Betty Loh, who served the foursome, also leaves the room. Raymond Campet, the co-owner of La Brasserie, tells [waitress Carla] Gaviglio the senators want to see her.

As Gaviglio enters the room, the six-foot-two, 225-plus-pound Kennedy grabs the five-foot-three, 103-pound waitress and throws her on the table. She lands on her back, scattering crystal, plates and cutlery and the lit candles. Several glasses and a crystal candlestick are broken.

Kennedy then picks her up from the table and throws her on Dodd, who is sprawled in a chair. With Gaviglio on Dodd’s lap, Kennedy jumps on top and begins rubbing his genital area against hers, supporting his weight on the arms of the chair. As he is doing this, Loh enters the room. She and Gaviglio both scream, drawing one or two dishwashers. Startled, Kennedy leaps up. He laughs. Bruised, shaken and angry over the sexual assault, Gaviglio runs from the room. Kennedy, Dodd and their dates leave shortly thereafter, following a friendly argument between the senators over the check.​

 

Remember how feminists were outraged, or pretended to be, during the 2012 campaign because Mitt Romney said that, as governor, he had “binders full of women” from which he selected females for high level jobs in his administration. All Romney was saying is that he reached out to feminist groups for recommendations and they provided him with binders identifying such women. Yet, some feminists deemed Romney a sexist for saying “binders full of women.”

Dodd and Biden are longtime friends. They served together in the Senate for decades. Biden knows that Dodd is a corrupt lecher.

It’s not surprising that Dodd’s lechery and corruption don’t bother Biden. There is substantial evidence that Biden too is a corrupt lecher.

Biden’s tone deafness in selecting Dodd isn’t surprising either. It’s tempting to say that the man is clueless, but he has always received a pass, so who is really clueless?

Is it surprising that Biden’s lechery doesn’t bother most feminists much?

 

Women don't care.

It is binary choice and Trump must lose.

 

I admire OP's honesty, but I think it's time that these free-floating accusations of sexual abuse be given the same treatment of almost all other crimes, past a point, they are presumed no longer valid.

Adults who are abused or victimized need to take steps to seek legal justice within statutes of limitations that have been worked out over centuries. If someone is aggrieved that someone broke into their house for example, they need to seek authorities TIMELY, and if they don't, the case evaporates as it should. This special "me-too" nonsense of indefinite timeliness needs to end in a just country.

But no, I'd rather put a fork in my eye than vote for Biden, nothing to do with any ancient sexual allegations not involving children though.

That is a major purpose of a political campaign isn't it? How could that possibly news?

 

Much appreciated.
