    NYT's editorial board is calling for an investigation into Tara Reade's Allegations...

    Investigate Tara Reade’s Allegations
    Americans deserve to know more about a sexual assault accusation against the likely Democratic Party nominee.

    Former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democrats’ presumptive nominee for president, has forcefully denied allegations of sexual harassment and assault made against him by Tara Reade, a former staff assistant in his Senate office.
    [...]
    Mr. Biden has set higher standards for himself. That has been central to his appeal. His campaign is founded on the promise of restoring sanity, civility and decency to the presidency. Even if certainty isn’t possible in this matter, the American people deserve at least the confidence that he, and the Democratic Party, have made every effort to bring the truth to light.

    Tara Reade's interview...



    She seems creditable to me.

    The Dems have blown it... they had four years:

    Democrats had four years to strengthen their party and failed

    The Democratic Party has had since November 8, 2016, to work on its plan for securing the presidency this year. With so much time, one would think that its 2020 strategy would be hard to beat. But instead of offering an inspiring fresh face and bold plans, the best it can do is more of the same in the form of an elder statesman surrounded by a long list of concerns.

    The sexual assault allegations against the presumptive nominee, Joe Biden, have once again shed light on the rank hypocrisy that festers within the party that claims to stand on the moral high ground. Rather than demanding answers and suggesting even a minimal investigation, party leaders such as Nancy Pelosi stand beside Biden because he's their only hope. This allegiance to Biden is nothing but a semblance of unity. The party that is aching to replace President Trump can only desperately cling to what little they've created.

    As reported on Thursday, the Democratic Party is so split that in an unprecedented move, the Biden campaign is allowing two-time party nominee loser, Sen. Bernie Sanders, to influence the upcoming convention. Not only will Biden "appoint Sanders supporters to fill hundreds of delegate slots that Sanders sacrificed by dropping out," but he will also "ensure representation for Sanders allies on the committees that, for instance, write the party’s policy platform." The reasons behind these moves are obvious. At the start of the primary season, Sanders seemed to be sailing to a potential nomination while Biden lagged behind. The attempts at appeasement indicate anything but harmony.
    [...]
    To anyone paying attention, it is evident that Democrats are in a sorry state. They have only themselves to blame.

    All they had to do is pick a half decent candidate. Instead they are picking Creepy Uncle Joe who can't even remember what office is running for with a party platform heavy influenced by a socialist.

      I know that Hunter most likely needs the money to pay for his vices and that additional child support by being on the board of some corrupt company but I think Joe is getting worse... His family should just let him enjoy the years he has left. He has a new grandchild that he needs to get to know before he can't remember.

          OMG.. "His memory had failed him." Joe's memory has been failing him since the 80's!



          No wonder he can't remember raping Tara Reade.

            As long as you're going deep into the archives, don't overlook Biden's '80s admission of plagiarism, especially embarrassing that he apparently needed to cheat to finish in the bottom quartile of his class. But as you carry on the pro-Trump crusade, please no more OAN videos. Those are painful.

            Sad that Biden remains the superior candidate.

              Reade wants Biden to drop out...



              I am not sure that Joe even knows any more that he is running for president... he thinks he is running for the senate.

                Oh no, Joe...

                Exclusive: 1996 court document confirms Tara Reade told of harassment in Biden’s office

                The San Luis Obispo County court filing is the first official public record confirming she made allegations at that time.

                A court document from 1996 shows former Senate staffer Tara Reade told her ex-husband she was sexually harassed while working for Joe Biden in 1993.

                [...]

                  Yeah, even Bernie is a better candidate than Joe. Sad.

                            The weird lengths to which pundits on the right go to find an election sliver lining in the COVID pandemic.

                            The pandemic will fuel the populism that sent Trump to the White House

                            When the after-action reports for this pandemic are written, the elites are not going to come out looking very good. Why is America in lockdown today? Because despite more than 15 years of warnings that a pandemic was coming, the political establishment in Washington failed to prepare for its arrival — leaving us with inexcusable shortages of masks, gowns, protective equipment and ventilators. And the same politicians who led the drive for globalization — sending millions of manufacturing jobs overseas — also let our supply chains for critical drugs and medical supplies move abroad, leaving us scrambling to ramp up domestic production while the virus raged. The experts who for decades said we could manage China’s rise by integrating Beijing into the global economy left us dangerously dependent on a brutal totalitarian regime whose lies fueled the spread of the virus.
                            Ummmm, Trump was in charge as the offices that warned of a pandemic were gutted and the supplies were depleted. He has also been all on board on how China responded to the virus, thanking Xi for his work.

                            There will definitely be a populist backlash, but not the kind Thiessen's tortured logic predicts.

                              Two Special Elections On Tuesday Could Hint At Another Blue Wave In 2020

                              California 25th
                              The California contest will test whether Democrats can hold onto a suburban and formerly GOP seat they captured during the 2018 blue wave.

                              Wisconsin 7th
                              This northwestern Wisconsin district was once a hotbed of Democratic populism, represented by progressive former Rep. Dave Obey for 42 years and voting for Barack Obama by 8 points in 2008.1 But a huge bloc of non-Hispanic white residents without bachelor’s degrees — 72 percent of the population age 25 or older — has turned the 7th District into Republican turf. Former Rep. Sean Duffy, whose resignation for family reasons in September triggered this special election, flipped the seat red in 2010, and Romney won here by a narrow margin in 2012. But Trump put an exclamation point on the district’s realignment when he carried it by more than 20 points in 2016.
                              Quite the prediction 538!
