This is why I pretty much quit coming here. You Libs gave every benefit of the doubt to those accusers of Kavanaugh, who were later credited, but not one peep about the sustance of these accusations against Biden who definitely have some merit. Not one peep. You went on for months about the Trump accusations and the Kavanaugh accusations - but NOTHING on the accusations against Biden. You are embarrassing. Just so pathetic. Not one of you has even addressed the very credible accusations. You are cowards too afraid that Biden will lose if the charges are true. Pathetic.
I believed Blasey Ford, but so what. It's impossible to have 100% confidence about something that happened decades ago that was never reported and it was a big waste of time to investigate it.
Both the NYT and WaPo have extensive articles about the Reade accusation with all the details. Unless there are new details, I don't see why you would expect them to write about it everyday. Some of the more liberal news outlets are pressing Biden to address the accusation. He'll say it didn't happen and that he's always done this, that and the other thing in support of women. Trump's response to his accusers was they were liars and he was going to sue them.
I don't like the timing of the accusations. She made some last year, but they were consistent with his typical, somewhat creepy behavior. Now she includes the digital penetration part just after Biden effectively became the nominee. Why didn't she come forward in 2008 or when Biden declared his candidacy for 2020? If he had been out from the beginning, the moderate vote would have been up for grabs and maybe the backup choice at this point wouldn't be Sanders. I also believe her filing a police report was a stunt that makes me question her honesty.
The latest collaborator's claim that she hates Trump and is going to still vote Biden, gives off a bad smell. If she truly hated Trump, I don't believe she would want to buttress a story that could hand the election to Trump. If someone put a scam together, they wouldn't want collaborators that were far-right Trump fans so this "I'm still going to vote for Biden" person would be perfect, but I believe that if it is all fake, the schemers over-played their hand.
The WaPo and NYT articles provide all of the details and there are some inconsistencies. It would be good if Biden was less creepy, but there is nothing else in his record that would indicate he would do something so heinous. I don't believe such behavior is one-off and if he did such a thing frequently, he would have been out of politics years ago.
It's not impossible to get a handful of people to lie and if I had to bet on it, it would be that the digital penetration accusation is false. You believe she is telling the truth, but there is no real evidence to prove what happened either way and I don't believe any votes will change hands as a result of Reade's story.
