I personally disregard all these 20+ year old revelations that were never reported to authorities. Especially when made by politicos or those in academia. But I do enjoy seeing Joe hoisted by his own petard.

Liberals on Facebook are UNHINGED that anyone who support Trump would even comment on this Reade stuff. They go batsh*t crazy saying that “Trump has 23 sexual allegations and Biden has only 1” bullcrap. I tell them that it’s 8, but they still come back at “1”. They also bring up Roger Ailes and Roy Moore. It’s hard getting through their skulls.

Couldn't agree more.

I’ve thought for awhile someone like Hannity or Rush would do a tit for tat comparison between this and Cavanah’s accusers. I think it would be effective, but I haven’t seen it yet.

They could even do it like a table in print.

“But so long as the only two people involved in the alleged incident insist on different stories, we will never be able to assess the veracity of Reade’s claims with certainty.”

Not so.

What is needed is a full investigation - independent, bipartisan inquiry. Call witnesses. Take depositions. Subpoena all available records. Give the former V.P. the opportunity to confront his accuser.

There is plenty of time before November to hold extensive hearings.

It's orgasmically satisfying to watch/witness. It really is!

It is critical to compare the media's coverage of Tara Reade to its coverage of Christine Blasey Ford. It’s critical to do the same for the left’s treatment of both, even extending the comparison to Democrats' treatment of men like former Sen. Al Franken. These parallels are instructive. They reveal dangerous hypocrisy. They are not, however, helpful in adjudicating Joe Biden's guilt.

I’m a woman, and I too have a big problem with waiting 27 years to say anything. Not that I don’t think that Joe Biden is a real creep, because he is a creep. But according to the Mother’s voice on the Larry King show, this woman didn’t want to do anything because she “had too much respect for Joe Biden?” Is she out of her mind? The man supposedly just sexually assaulted her and she respects him?

I personally think this is fabulous.

I think it is awesome when a political hyena who exploited situations like this now gets a dose of his own medicine.

I do not care if it is real / true. I do not care if it’s 20+ years old, speculative, lacking physical evidence or witnesses. I think just like all the other folks that got smeared in the past where he used the situation for his party or personal gain, he too should feel this. Look at what this jerk did with Clearance Thomas years past. Look at how he shot his mouth off about Trump when accused of groping... Now it’s his turn and I hope the media despite their pro-liberal bias, still driven by greed, rips into him by talking about this “crap” endlessly.

Assaulting a staffer and committing adultery outside a private room in the bustling complex seems like an enormously stupid risk, even beyond the risk of committing a crime or cheating on your wife that powerful men sometimes take.

Clinton did it right in the Oval Office.

Isn't it clear by now that Biden probably gets off on doing this kind of thing in the open?

There is no physical evidence.

There are no witnesses.

It’s 20+ years old.

It’s shit.

But... It couldn’t have happened to someone better and I hope it lingers in the media a long time. It’s nice to see someone be on the receiving side after they used such situations “often” against political opponents. He deserves what’s he’s getting and frankly he deserves far-far more than the little bit of coverage this is getting. He’s used these types of allegations (where he knows it’s all crap - he’s no idiot) often and now he’s getting to eat a bit of his own shit.

Trump?! Are the libbies on fakebook (I don’t go there) bringing up Trump because they know the real comparison is Kavanaugh? And it is there that they have no argument...

“Biden Achieves Single-Digit Advantage”

“Getting Solid Penetration With Women”

“Biden Sniffs Early Success, And Responds”

To me these decades old cases are pretty weak. The thing that’s not decades old though is the incredible hypocrisy of the MSM in the way they are treating the Biden accusations vs. how they treated the Kavanaugh accusations.

There is no evidence and never will or can be. It happened way too long ago. I wouldn’t be surprised that it happened, knowing how Joe is, Mr Swinger, touchy feely perv.

She made a complaint at the time and that is stored at the University of Delaware for Joe biden’s papers. They refuse to let it out because of an agreement with Joe Biden. So Joe Biden should be honest and say go ahead I never did anything look at my records. This story has 1,000 times more proof than the Kavanaugh hoax

I can guarantee you that whatever may have once been in Biden’s papers in this regard is long gone now.
