[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not believe Biden.

At. All.

He is lying and now trying to cover it up.[/quote]

I do not believe Tara Reade.

There is one person who has been in the public eye for 40 years, been vetted by many groups and agencies and has never had this come up.
There is another person who whimsically changes her positions, her enthusiasm and is almost bipolar politically that seems to have no issue changing her story as often as she changes clothes.

This was her political temper tantrum when her candidate of choice lost the lead in the primary race.  It was her last ditch effort to swing support back to Sanders and was completely fabricated. I do not believe an accuser who has been known to spin her stories based on her current whims.  She was a pro-Biden supporter from the early 90's when this alleged assault occurred, for 24 years while he ran for reelection to the Senate (1996, 2000, 2004) and ran as VPOTUS (2008, 2012).  When he ran for President in 2008, she never mentioned this and was still supportive.  In 2017, she said that he touched her and made her uncomfortable.  It was only when her candidate of choice, Sanders, lost momentum that she upped the ante by claiming that it was assault.  When Sanders was leading the primary race, she only mentioned that he touched her and made her uncomfortable.  When the tides turned and the Democratic party decided to throw their full weight behind the moderate candidate and not her progressive choice candidate, that she decided that she needed to do something extreme to get Sanders back in the limelight.  So she fabricated this to spike Biden's surging campaign and help Sander's flagging campaign.

Washington Post and New York Times have already researched her claims and there is just not enough substance to make the case.  The strongest "evidence" is a vague anonymous call-in to a talk show in 1993 that can be spun several different ways.  She claims it is her mother (no way to verify, as her mother is dead).  The caller says:

[quote]"Hello. I'm wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington. 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."[/quote]

Nothing about assault, not even about harassment.  Just that she had problems and was not sure what to do other than go to to press.  Anything could have happened that made her disenchanted with the Senator.  That is so vague and all it says is she had problems with either Biden or the staff and was considering going to the press.  That's worse than an accusation; it's vague enough that she could spin that to be anything she wanted to be once her mother was dead.  Talk about ultimate spin doctoring.  No one else on the campaign who worked there at the time had any idea that any such thing had happened at the time.

This is just not credible.  And for those who made the argument that got the other thread closed, I am not partisan, I am a moderate independent and did not think the other accuser was credible either.[/quote]
