Elizabeth Breunig wants Biden gone.

That is coming from someone who wanted Sanders to run a dirty campaign against Biden.

Luckily nobody in the Democratic Party is interested in hearing the opinions of this horrible, right-wing troll.

These are the people who wanted the Democrats to vote for their guy for nominee. Imagine showing up at someone's house and saying, "I hate you and my parents hate you. Now vote for my candidate."

I doubt that someone like that would write "It’s time to give socialism a try"

Having watched this unfolding, it's plain obvious the story doesn't add up. Not just are there huge question marks in terms of evidence and proof on the harshest accusations, the frequent change of her story makes it hard to believe anything. It's just Biden needs to go through this, let alone the long term damage this does to #MeToo.

People may argue this isn't a criminal indictment and therefore the burdon of proof is not the same, but we shouldn't set different standards with that regard. Biden doesn't need to prove his innocence, but he needs to answer the questions. He did so by demanding the natl archives to look it up. Reade then switching to she didn't file a complaint is more evidence this is a fraud. For whatever motives.

As we see the polls tighten, this will become news, Dems shouldnt ignore this story, Trump can still win, but Trump isnt exhonorated either, he has been accused of sexual misconduct.  He had an affair with Stormy Daniels

[wbrocks67]

Have to give Morning Joe props for this morning (so far). They laid out pretty much EVERY detail of the story so far, including all of Tara's inconsistencies, along with her past tweets and Putin comments, which no one up to this point in the media has really brought up. If they're going to continue to talk about this story, it's important to talk about ALL of it

[Meclazine for Israel]

Looks like we have an issue after watching the Moron Joe interview. This is going to resurface now in a big way.

Number 1 - The Same Standard

Regardless of assertions, clearly the Democrats nor Joe Biden are not treating this with the same standard. Even under Joe's guidelines expressed for the Kavanaugh situation, he has fallen short on this occasion. That is an issue in itself which can be brought up.

Number 2 - Biden wont release his personal Senate Papers

These are documents at the University of Delaware which may contain details of her complaint. He kept saying on Morning Joe he has no memory. Although not pressed very hard, he also did not refer to the other 7 women who have made complaints.

These two issues are not resolved, and will simmer and stew until they resurface again.

Who would have guessed it would be a race between two Ukrainian bribing, 70 year old registered sex offenders?

No they aren't. The documents at UoD are about senate business and have nothing to do with personnel.

This entire post is nonsensical and filled with lies, I'm too exhausted to even fully respond to it

This suddenly becomes relevant.

1. Regardless of assertions, clearly the Democrats nor Joe Biden are not treating this with the same standard. Even under Joe's guidelines expressed for the Kavanaugh situation, he has fallen short on this occasion. That is an issue in itself which can be brought up


Show me when Ford ever tweeted something like this about Kavanaugh



unlike Kavanaugh Biden supported people doing investigation into him and he has asked the senate to find any complaint the could have ever been made against him and release it to the public. Kavanaugh did not even want the FBI to investigate the claims made against him

2. These are documents at the University of Delaware which may contain details of her complaint. He kept saying on Morning Joe he has no memory. Although not pressed very hard, he also did not refer to the other 7 women who have made complaints.

This is an outright lie
Biden clearly and correctly pointed on that a compliant like that would not be at the University of Delaware And it is ridiculous that Tara Reade can not simply request a copy of the complaint she claimed she gave to the senate in 1993. Its BS that the only way for her to get that paper is By having Biden put out all of his other files that have nothing to do with any of this.

Its the "Hillary email trap" and thankfully Biden is smart enough not to fall for it


3. These two issues are not resolved, and will simmer and stew until they resurface again.

they can resurface all they want but by the end of the day most most Americans will care more about this on election day....

Might as well ask him to publicly release all of his passwords, in case one of them is "irapedtara"

Here is the Morning Joe video - best video i've seen so far of basically hitting EVERY angle of the story, including the Putin blogs and the past tweets

Finally somebody in the Media that is actually focused on the facts and is not buying into this
"Always believe the woman without actually investigating their claims BS"

Mika is the perfect person to deliver this kind of message since After her tough interview with Biden No one will accuse her of giving him any kind of pass. she has gotten praise from both the left and the right for her interview so she is now shielded from people who want to accuse her of helping Biden. She can now take on Tara Reade without anybody ever questioning where she stands on Biden.

Hopefully this is sign of what is to come and the Rest of the media will also start to look at Tara Reade a lot more critically based on the things that she has actually said and done over the years

So... essentially all that is left that they could do I believe is that Tara would have to call for the release herself? Which I feel like she won't do, so

[Bidenworth2020]

If Tara doesn't call for the release of the complaint personally, she really has no right to keep saying there is a complaint or at least one that helps to corroborate her case in any reasonable sense.

Where is the provision that Tara Reade can call for the release?

Also, I think Biden’s people knew the secretary wouldn’t have authority to search the record per their request. Their letter was for publicity.

The national archives don't have it. Biden's UD papers don't have it. Reade now says she filed an "intake form", meaning that it probably wouldn't even be on record. This is getting extremely tiresome. I wish you would put the same energy you put into this case into literally ANY of Trump's 25+ accusers' cases.

[BudgieForce]

I wonder if Reade could waive her confidentiality then. She probably wont though.

I mean assuambly, if it's about confidentiality, then that would be confidentiality of the accuser, i.e. Tara Reade. If she waived that, I don't see why they couldn't release. And tbh, I don't think the Biden team knew this - I think they were banking on the Senate secretary looking for something and not coming up with anything, bc it appears it likely doesn't exist. This just extends the story a bit, which I doubt they would want.

Maybe, but it does keep attention off of his records in Delaware. Had the Secretary of the Senate said they couldn't find any complaints, the argument would have become that Biden's hiding them in his personal archives.
