Yeah, that was rather eye rolling hypocrisy. : boggled :

It's less boggling if you remember that my position since long before the election has been that all politicians are lying callous bastards, and that most of the criticism leveled at Trump is special pleading.

So when I say Biden is a lying, callous bastard, I say so with full awareness that Trump is more of the same. And when I mark my ballot in November, I'll be saying, "you want a lying callous bastard president? I know just the guy."

We disagree there.

As long as telling yourself that lets you sleep at night. It really does relieve you of any responsibility.

I’m just waiting for the next group of, “concerned mental health professionals,” to come out with their psychiatric diagnosis of Biden and how his well-documented in the public domain history of confabulations, gaffes and recent incoherence make him “dangerously mentally ill.”

Should be fun to watch. But it probably won’t happen until after the election.

Might be just me, but I don't see Biden as mentally ill. If my suspicions are correct, he just needs to lay off the sauce.

Yes, he did lie about that which I do not support or approve of. It was wrong of him. He's certainly not a perfect man.

That's really odd right? Like, very very odd.

A Senator getting arrested on a diplomacy trip would be international news. Huge news. A massive breach of diplomatic relations.

Why would Biden even think he could lie about this? It's like saying he went to the moon. Easily disprovable and on its face incredible.

Court documents in 1996 from Tara Reade's ex-husband mentions sexual harassment problem with Biden's office.

This doesn't prove she was telling the truth, but it's clear some form of her allegation originates in the 90's.

From your link:

In it, he writes Reade told him about “a problem she was having at work regarding sexual harassment, in U.S. Senator Joe Biden’s office.”

He could be referring to this:

“I remember talking about him wanting me to serve drinks because he liked my legs and thought I was pretty and it made me uncomfortable,” Reade said in an interview Friday with The Associated Press. “I know that I was too scared to write about the sexual assault.”

Reade told the AP twice that she did not use the phrase “sexual harassment” in filing the complaint, but at other points in the interview said that was the behavior she believed she was describing. She said: “I talked about sexual harassment, retaliation. The main word I used – and I know I didn’t use sexual harassment — I used ‘uncomfortable.’ And I remember ‘retaliation.’”

She could also have been referring to harassment by the staff:

She said office staff took away most of her duties, including supervising the interns; assigned her a windowless office; and made the work environment uncomfortable for her.

Expecting claims of "argument by incredulity", I'll still say this: I find it odd that a woman would not tell her fiance/husband about being forcibly "fingered" by a US Senator but would tell him about "sexual harassment".

He definitely stretched the truth with that one. He was detained at the airport but not arrested. Yes, it's odd but not "like very, very odd". It sounds more like a spur of the moment "let's make it more dramatic to make a point" odd.

:rolleyes:

Pages and pages of the Trump has a pathologic personality disorder thread and you think this is a relevant comment?

If we're going to talk about harassment in Biden's OFFICE, can we also talk about the numerous harassment complaints by women who worked on Bernie's 2016 campaign?
 
I think it's time to remind people that not a single woman beside Reade has said that Biden's actions ever amounted to harassment or assault. The worst they said was that he made them "uncomfortable" by invading their private space.

Aside from the Reade claim,

A man becoming upset with his partner because of sexual assault is not unheard of. I'd even say "not uncommon."

There's just plain displacement.

But there's also that idea women do the initiating (apperently through some transdimemsional ether).

"You must have been leading him on and took it too far."

"...poor guy."

Yeah, he kisses hair and rubs shoulders and it makes women uncomfortable when he invades their space like that. It would bother me. And like I said many times, why didn't anyone tell him how bad that looks?

But just what is in the article?
In it, he writes Reade told him about “a problem she was having at work regarding sexual harassment, in U.S. Senator Joe Biden’s office.”

It appears to be the only written record that has surfaced from the time that substantiates Reade shared her account in the years following the alleged incident, though a former neighbor came forward last week about similar conversations she said she had with Reade in 1995. ...

... In the filing dated March 25, 1996, Dronen testified that he met Reade in the spring of 1993 while the two worked for separate members of Congress in Washington, D.C.

Dronen wrote that Reade told him she “eventually struck a deal with the chief of staff of the Senator’s office and left her position.”

“It was obvious that this event had a very traumatic effect on (Reade), and that she is still sensitive and effected (sic) by it today,” Dronen wrote.

Sensitive, it affected her, but it doesn't sound like Dronen heard anything like Biden sticking his finger up her vagina.

Struck a deal and quit? What does that even mean?

Stacy said it much better than I have here.

Tara Reade was charged with fraud 3 days before she was terminated from her position in the Senate staff.

Me thinks that is mighty interesting timing. Did this whole thing start with her needing a cover story for friends and family because "I was told to resign because I was defrauding banks in California" is kinda embarrassing?

She could put it to rest by allowing those records to be unsealed but....we all know this is going to end with her living in a dacha claiming some grand conspiracy against her.

You can all go back to your game now of claiming Biden is evil because his wife and child died.

Is it being reported anywhere beyond some random person's Twitter thread?
