Tara Reade Biden allegation megathread

[pppolitics]

The idea that I get is that the real reason that some people want the records from the University Delaware released is so they can look at policy positions and speeches that Biden has made in the past, similar to how progressives wanted transcripts from Clinton's paid speeches. But those who are demanding that the records be released seem to be under the impression that these are PDFs that can just be uploaded when in reality these documents are physical ones that are being curated.

Biden can just sent a few people to look at his UD files and say, "none of those files mentions Tara Reade".

How about we lock Tara Reade in the UoD archive with all of Biden’s papers and tell her she can come out when she finds her complaint?

For the millionth time: We should have nominated Bernie.

Republicans would be throwing these same stories at Bernie, or Warren, or Pete, or anyone we nominated. They literally promised to do so in 2018 as revenge for Kavanaugh.

When did they promise to engage in slander and libel?

Or is it slander and libel when a Republican is accused, but "Standing Up For Women!" when is accused?  Do we Believe All Women?  Or do we disbelieve women who accuse Democrats because it's inconvenient and work to actively trash their reputations HONESTLY vet all accusations, and not put the confirming/debunking process solely in the hands of an incredibly biased media?

Keep in mind that I've not DIS-believed Blasey Ford, nor did I support Kavanaugh's confirmation.  Nor have I said that I believe Reade's accusations.  In a Court of Law, neither accusation would stand up.  But in a background interview for any number of sensitive positions, both accusations, and the evidence behind them, would be sufficient grounds to not hire the prospective applicant for law enforcement or any number of positions that would require a Security Clearance.

On this issue, the issue of who do we believe, the Democrats are exposed as having to backtrack on something they presented as axiomatic in 2018.  "Believe All Women"; that was the mantra.  That some Leftist Politician would step up to a mic and say "I believe Dr. Blasey Ford!" with the proper seriousness and go into a melodramatic spiel about victims being silenced and needing vocal advocacy is presented as EVIDENCE, when it is somwhere between ADVOCACY and PROPAGANDA.  Advocacy and Propoganda are not evidence, period.  There WAS evidence that Dr. Blasey Ford was telling the truth.  There was some evidence to place her truthfulness in doubt.  In the end, there really is not enough evidence to meet the Probable Cause standard against Kavanaugh.  But I wouldn't hire Kavanaugh to be a cop or a Federal Prosecutor.

I fail to see, however, how Tara Reade's accusation is any less credible than Dr. Blasey Ford's.  It's certainly in the same general "she said/he said" range, with reasons to believe and reasons to doubt for both.  Neither allegation meets a Probable Cause standard.  The ALLEGED CIRCUMSTANCES of Kavanaugh's alleged acts are more serious, but the alleged circumstances of Biden's alleged acts against Reade do rise to the level of a criminal offense, and were allegedly committed when Biden was a sitting Senator, whereas Kavanaugh's alleged actions were committed when he was 17 years old, not even a legal adult.

Perhaps what I would like to see is not Democrats throwing Biden to the wolves.  Biden deserves to be treated fairly, but so does Kavanaugh.  Kavanaugh is treated like a Sex Offender, whereas Biden is treated as a Victim of a Wrongful Accuser.  That's not right.  If we're going to consider the allegations against Kavanaugh as legitimate and the proper course of action to be to keep digging until there is enough evidence to impeach him, why should we do less in regard to allegations with the same level of overall credibility leveled against a man who, at this writing, is the person most likely to be President on January 21, 2021?

I posted this here, as it's more relevant to this thread.

This is, quite literally, the fourth variation of her explanation as to how the complaint was filed



Anyone who is saying this is anything like Blasey Ford is just trolling tbh

Of course she has made another revision. She knows that her complaint will not match up with her new story, so she has to create a narrative of a cover up.

Biden can just sent a few people to look at his UD files and say, "none of those files mentions Tara Reade".

There are millions of pages in the file. Besides, the story then would be that her file was destroyed by the campaign.

The allegations will only be an issue if the polls tighten up again, and it may after the conventions. The polls reflect right now, the voters want to get back to the business of their normal lives. Trump cannot win an election with the country closed to January 2021

This whole thing is likely a setup to get to Biden's archives and fish around for anything controversial. I better never hear another word about how liberal CNN and the New York Times are.

CNN and The New York Times are truly the Enemy of the People. I hope Democrats are learning this lesson.

The vetting teams of Roy Moore and Ralph Northam are not the same level as Obamas.

Interesting that this came right after she probably watched the Biden interview.

Running for governor of Virginia or senator from Alabama doesn't invite the same level of scrutiny as running for president.

I'm mostly jabbing at the national GOP. Also the Virginia and Alabaam races were the only jobs the NRCc had at that time.

I was just thinking yesterday that if she only went on Fox News and not another show like say, the View, it would look suspect. Now she's not even going on Fox News. If she is serious about this allegation, she isn't really doing herself any favors.

Please don't cite David Silverstone tweets in this thread.

David is a deranged teenager who spams every single Biden- or Reade-related tweet with thousands of memes.  Like literally, whenever you see a Biden tweet you have to scroll through dozens of his smug, blue avatar and his memes copies from the Chapo Trap House subreddit.

The only reason he hasn't been banned from Twitter is because Twitter Support is crippled from COVID-19.
