Mega-Thread: 2020 United States General Election

In a shocking move, democratic senators believe Joe Biden and do not think there needs to be an investigation. My favorite is Diane Feinstein.

“I think we ought to find out whether the allegations are correct before you launch a big investigation of the former vice president,” said Feinstein.

Compared to say, what she thought about Judge Kavanaugh's accuser:

We should honor Dr. Blasey Ford’s wishes and delay this hearing. A proper investigation must be completed, witnesses interviewed, evidence reviewed and all sides spoken to. Only then should the chairman set a hearing date.

Because having specific details about dates and times is much less convincing then a random day at a random location that nobody knows about. Man I am glad, so glad that democrats are just getting this shit out of their system and realizing that everyone deserves the same treatment. What am I saying, they will hypocritically accuse the next Republican. JHoe Biden wants due process and they want the dnc to investigate. Because running for President is not near as important as being a Supreme Court Judge. Here come the liberal apologists saying it isn't...I teed it up for ya.

Dude that posted fake news about sexual assault is going to lecture as on why we shouldnt do proper vetting of stories.

Here is the difference between Ford and all these people that have accused Biden. A lot of journalists dug through Ford's story and found it reliable enough to run it. Tara Reade's hasn't, heck even the AP didn't run her story last year because it was very contradictory. This new accuser who claims that Biden harassed her when she was 14? That turned out to be fake news.

Could Reade's story be true? Dunno, probably but so far it doesn't really look like it.

Why isn’t senate releasing records Biden told them to release? What is GOP hiding about Biden?

I will ask again... why is GOP blocking violence against women act?

[NED funded]

As a side note, I don't buy the fake tears of conservatives and people from the left that have come out against the me too movement. None of you care about Tara Reade, you only care about pointing supposed liberal hypocrisy and to distract from the fact that Trump is responsible for how incompetent the US response has been towards COVID-19

Biden is claiming he will sign violence against women act within first 100 days and is the guys who sponsored it in 1993. The GOP has refused a vote on it and in all likelihood Trump will veto, even it passes senate. Why is Biden promising to vote for a bill that will help Reade persecute him, while Trump’s GOP is blocking what would help Trump’s 47 accusers?

[NED funded]

Even if we put aside whether Reade's accusation is true or not, it is still not correct how she is being treated by the #MeToo support groups.

Each and every single one of them basically told her that they can't help her because of either:
A) they can't support women who accuse public officials
B) they are afraid of losing their Democratic Party donations

The fact that Tara Reade isn't getting any support or legal advice on how to best go about this, getting no advice on what to say to whom and what to do next should also be a factor in considering how she might be helplessly bumbling around and come across less reliable as say Ford who had her story vetted and prepared by a team of lawyers who told her which parts to leave out and which parts to keep repeating.

Where are you getting this?? She got referred to multiple lawyers, a lot of whom disclosed that they rejected her case because she wanted help for difamation or something like that rather than focus on the sexual assault case.

How so? Many are showing support and even Biden didn’t claim she lied.

That’s because GOP defunded Violence Against Women act in March of 2019. It provided 1.6 billion to women accusing powerful men like Trump and Biden. I’ll give you one guess who sponsored it and claims to sign it within 100 days of taking office.

The answer is obvious. They'd rather have the story remain on the spotlight as long as possible to distract from their failings. The Bernie Bros want Biden out so that they get Bernie, conservatives are desperate for literally anything that can distract from the COVID-19 crisis

Biden literally sponsored a bill that provided 1.6 billion to victims of assault to persecute their more powerful assaulter. GOP is actively blocking it from reaching senate floor. It passed house and every democrat in senate pledged to sign it.

I am glad you acknowledge it is hypocritical.

[Smitzelplix]

My stance on the Tara Reade situation is that her claims should be investigated and if it's found that Biden is guilty then punish him in some way even if that punishment only comes in the form of pressuring him to step down and let another Democrat take the nomination. I also want this to be investigated because if Tara Reade turns out to be lying I think she should be the one punished instead. This is the same stance I took during the Kavanaugh hearings as evidenced by the following post I made during that time.

That's why all this needs to be investigated not only to see if Kavanaugh is guilty, but also to see if he's innocent and perhaps even charge some of his accusers with perjury and false claims if it turns out that's what some of them did. Unfortunately some people are being completely left out of the investigation, like Swetnick, so I doubt we're ever going to truly know whether Kavanaugh is guilty or innocent which is just going to leave a cloud of doubt over this whole thing.

One of the first stories out there. Without that story people today probably still wouldn't have known who Tara Reade is.

That doesn’t confirm what you said at all.

The article does not make this claim:

Each and every single one of them basically told her that they can't help her because of either:
A) they can't support women who accuse public officials
B) they are afraid of losing their Democratic Party donations

Why do you need to lie?

Bernie already dropped out. That scenario is not going to happen.
And yeah. The conservatives have literal piles of corpses (american this time) lying around that cannot be looked away.

[ShakesForPRide]

Sorry, but Ryan Grim is just a propaganda troll. Not surprising the Intervcept is the only place that will hire him.
He regularly pushes lies and conspiracies.

Also revealing he's always being boosted by you guys.


Here's Grim a month earlier pushing the Biden Dementia conspiracy. That failed. So he started pushing Reades story.




All you guys have are conspiracies. It's sad.

[Felya]

... and endorsed Biden. This is an admitted alt righter, acting like he wouldn’t vote Trump, if he could. He snaps about 10 posts in and breaks his character.

One of the first stories out there. Without that story people today probably still wouldn't have known who Tara Reade is.

As it has for thousands of people who have contacted the group, the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, which does not represent clients, gave her a list of lawyers with expertise in such cases. She said she contacted every single one but none took her case. Two lawyers confirmed speaking to Ms. Reade but declined to comment on the record about her or the allegation.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/12/u...complaint.html

She was referred to the lawyers and all of them rejected her case prolly because its v shaky and hard to prove.

Here is what the AP had to said when she first came out with her story:

The AP declined to publish details of the 2019 interviews at the time because reporters were unable to corroborate her allegations, and aspects of her story contradicted other reporting.

https://apnews.com/aec7beb03e9e0e0e6...s&utm_campaign

Its not like people ignored the story or whatever. It was vetted multiple times and multiple times it was found lacking by literally everyone she interacted with.

It could still be true like you said but its very unlikely

Fake concern trolling is so 2016... i was still at university by that time!

See this is totally normal... Trump didn’t change anything... anything at all...

The fantasy is still alive XD

Since its Corona I've been living on the internet more and a lot of people are genuinely betting on this for a chance to get Bernie. Its fascinating to watch
