Tara Reade Biden allegation megathread

[Horus]

Dems really screwed themselves by endorsing #BelieveAllWomen instead of sticking with innocent until proven otherwise.

[Mr. Illini]

True or false, the Biden campaign needs to address this. It isn't going to go away. I'd personally like to hear from the candidate himself.

I mean, they could've also nominated a woman, in which their position would've been consistent. The problem is, half the Democrats were never really on board with #MeToo to begin with. As the martyrdom of Al Franken shows.

I think regardless of whether Biden did it or not, this will have little to no impact on the election whatsoever.

Biden may lose some votes here and there, but he still has millions of loyal supporters behind him who will vote for him to get Trump out of office, regardless of Biden's behavior around women and children.

From what little I can tell, almost none of the actual public seems to care. Aka—the people who aren’t glued to cable television. I don’t know if that’s because people are used to high-profile people having alleged stuff like this pop up all the time and are desensitized to it

There is such a tremendous gap between AAD which actually understands how bad this is, and people here who want to play Spin Artist like they are LARPing in a political drama and actually employed by the Biden campaign. From a party perspective, the right move is to push this guy aside in favor of someone normal!

I'm not someone who terribly cares about this, but this is electoral politics!

False. The public doesn’t seem to care about this story. Like, no one at work even seemed to know or care when it came up briefly on the news

Yeah this is all just weird? So she corroborates the first story, but then when Tara's second story comes out she corroborates that. Damn, I don't know what to believe.

I think the fact that everyone involved in this keeps getting caught in lies and changing their stories makes it pretty clear which side to believe.

Drudge claims to have tape of Biden confessing to sexual assault.

Not positive this is true, but if so...

This has now turned into an annoying he-said-she-said situation

Also, if true, these are 7-10 years before the alleged incident.

Matt Drudge also claims he’s heterosexual, but that ain’t true either.

Nope.  But it claimed to be a Drudge Report link, so can you blame me?

I don't know what this is trying to say. That they both only lived on this street for one month each?! Is this not clearly a move-in date? Adjacent houses were not moved into for a single month.

If it's that they were neighbors before the incident rather than after, then don't people usually stay close to their neighbors??

You are really going to have to spell out what you are implying because it's increasingly easy to disregard anything you write.

It's a RickRoll.  Although I found it funny, it shouldn't be in this thread.

Is this real?

Is this real?

Yes? Have you done any research on this case beyond the new revelations?

Business insider messed up. The neighbor wasnt even a neighbor when this occurred. Records show she was there from 1983 to 1985 and she apparently had a nightly porch chat with Tata about it in 1995

Business Insider needs to issue an apology for releasing this story, and fully rescind it.

[Illini Moderate]

Public records do not show them being neighbors at all in 1995. Rather they indicate they were neighbors in the mid eighties.
