Tara Reade Biden allegation megathread

[Dr. Arch]

I just wish this didn't have to happen...

They would come up with something else anyways. It's always like this. If there isn't a scandal, make one up.

[Dr. Arch]

We’re doomed

Thanks for the reminder that the 2020 forum isn't even worth it.

[Dr. Arch]

Ok seriously did the nominee really HAVE to be Biden like cmon there were 30 other people and two of those people where Bernie sanders and Andrew Yang.

Let's see

Bernie Sanders: He wrote rape fanfiction in college
Kamala Harris: SHE'S A COP and/or Willie Brown
Pete Buttigieg: Cop killed black person in his city
Cory Booker: in the pocket of big pharma
Elizabeth Warren: Pretended to be Native American
Amy Klobuchar: Threw a stapler at her staff

Point is, all the potential candidates have there own possible vulnerabilities that could be used against them some we know of others we haven't found out about yet or possibly ever will find out about. The only difference is Biden is the candidate and as such gets the honor of being in the spotlight more which will naturally make him look worst than those who aren't.

They're all human. There's no perfect candidate, and what can't be found, can be made up (see Burisma, Reade, Emails, etc.).

[Dr. Arch]

How many more of these loops did I miss?

1) Did not sexually assault. There may have been harrasment.
2) There was sexual assault. Check all these old documents I changed two days ago before I made the accusation.
3) Actually, it was rape, and I filed a complaint.

-Complaint literally doesn't exist-

4) This anonymous call to Larry King was my mom, which is evidence.

-Doesn't mention anyone or any related events-

5) My dad wrote a fantasy scene based on it. [hyperbolic, she hasn't claimed this, but the paper trail is there]

-Uhhh-

-So... How did this happen?-

6) I don't remember a time of day or a specific day or a specific location, but it was in a "semi-public" area... for sure.

Did I miss anything?

[Dr. Arch]

Wait her dad did what?

Yeah, is she making the argument that her dad wrote a porno book about it? Surely not.

I thought the argument is that she read her dad's book and that scene was her inspiration for her story.

Either way, it's a total red herring and kinda gross and shouldn't be mentioned unless she brings it up.

I was being hyperbolic to an extent, but it captures the ridiculousness of the situation.

So this was just published. Just Googling the author reveals that he is a Bernie or Buster who spreads conspiracy theories about DNC rigging and media bias, says Pete Buttigieg is funded by a Trump-supporting Russian oligarch, and whose Facebook is full of anti-Democratic Party and anti-Clinton stuff.


This is really getting ridiculous.

To be clear, I am not going to call Read a liar until the investigation is completed, but seeing such blatantly obvious agendas makes me increasingly believe that nothing is actually going to come of this.

What investigation? The police moved Reade's complaint to inactive status and there isn't a law enforcement agency investigating. All that is happening is a bunch of speculating about a claim that even Reade said that she didn't make in her 1993 complaint.

Just because she is a woman doesn't mean she isn't lying. You all have twisted Me Too into "anyone accused should step down regardless of whether the claim is true or not" and that really isn't what the movement is. It's not a political strategy to accuse someone of rape.

Many have misinterpreted what ‘BelieveWomen’ means.

‘BelieveWomen’ means that women should be provided the benefit of doubt.

It does not mean that all women must be believe, no matter how ridiculous the allegations.

You're absolutely right. I too believe allegations should be looked into, and looked into without prejudice (something we've been struggling to ensure for the women seeking justice for far too long). And the benefit of the doubt must apply to the accused part as well.

We know most of the allegations turns out to be true, but there are bound to be made up ones. And no one should be fired, forced to resign or, like in Biden's case, drooping out until something is proven.

This is the big point here. There's nothing really to look into.

• The Complaint She Said She Filed: Doesn't Exist
• Specific Location Where She Said It Happened: Unknown, Won't Disclose
• Time When She Said It Happened: Unknown, Won't Disclose
• Day When She Said It Happened: Unknown, Won't Disclose
• Contemporaneous At-Location Testimony: None

And there's the character that needs to be considered since this is all hearsay claims:

• Timing for Maximum Political Impact: Tic Toc Tweet
• Tampering with Supposed Trail: Ninja Changing Older Online Documentation to Fit
• History of Questionable Character: Defrauding Non-Profits, Documented
• Supposed Phone Call Evidence: No Mention of Literally Anything Related to Claims
• Change of Story: Not Just Specifics, but Entirety of Claim

I'm not convinced in the slightest, and I think that Joe did a good job stopping this earlier today.

C'mon now .. you're asking for time and day? How's she someone supposed to remember that now?

I may remember that I graduated from college, bought a pet dog, and met my soulmate in 1993. But I can't remember the specific day and time when those events happened. Nobody would, even if those events were memorable.

It could at least be some Saturday afternoon or something like that. It's a weaponized omission of information so that Biden can't claim any alibi.

Christine Ford had every detail down, which coincided with Kavanaugh's own calendar, which puts them together in the same place and location. There's at least that much to start to talk about and look into it.

Where did she say that she didn't file the complaint that she claimed she had filed all this time? Is there a clip? That would be the definitive end of this.

[Dr. Arch]

Does this blurb from today's AP article give the story any legs?

All third hand accounts, years after the alleged event, and they were contacted by her beforehand recently as well. It all stinks.

[Dr. Arch]

I literally can't keep up with all of her stories. She says there is a complaint, but then she said there isn't a complaint and she chickened out - she tweeted that it involved assault and harrassment and then she said she doesn't now what it contains. She said she knows where it would be and then says it would be somewhere else. I feel like it's been nonstop back and forth of changing stories just over the past 48 hours.

Is this a multiple choice exam?

What did Tara Reade filed a complaint about?

(A) She filed a complaint about sexual assault/harassment

(B) She didn't file a complaint

(C) She filed a complaint, but didn't mention sexual assault/harassment

(D) She doesn't remember

E) She filled an "intake form," not an official complaint of any sort.

[Dr. Arch]

Reade is now also RTing messages that say that Biden is going after her

5.6k brainless idiots that believe anything they read chose to like that tweet. Our party is in trouble.

5.6k people is the population of a small town and is likely to be composed of people from across the world, non-DEM lefties, and bots. This is not a Dems in Disarray moment

Why stop at 9 fictitious accusations when you can say 900?? Checkmate!!!
