Applying Christine Blasey Ford methodology it doesn’t matter what Reade has said in the past. She can change her story on the spot. Just tell the story using the affectation of a 14 year old valley girl with vocal fry uptalk, cock your head to the side, drink a can of Coke and you tell everyone how frighten you still are decades later.

Voila, you are a feminist hero.

Yeah, but the mom even said Tara didn’t peruse the issue in the press out of “respect for him”. Huh?

Joe Biden is an asshole. I have no trouble believing that he has done anything described in Reade’s complaint. I just have ZERO confidence in her credibility.

The Larry King call was not specific in regards to rape.

That’s because while he may have harassed Reade, he didn’t rape her.

Her own police report corroborates this.

T Reade has her own problems it seems....what is her point...I read somewhere that she supports slojo for potus....surely that can’t be correct...so I don’t get the motivation unless she is just bat crap crazy....maybe it is a hellary push...that makes the most sense of all....hellary probably scuttled all the other demonrat candidates...and paid off burnie the commie ....again...

Did the ‘limited report’ use the words ‘Horse’s ass’ to describe Biden? Because it should have.

Who ever said Biden raped her? Certainly not Reade. The allegation is not sexual harassment. Biden is accused of forcing her against a wall and inserting his fingers into her vagina. This is sexual molestation.

The call, which you can hear for yourself by Googling it, is about how her daughter was thwarted in getting justice when accosted by a US Senator. The mother did not go into detail about what happened.

Professional cover ups run that way. Slojoe is so senile at this point that we can believe he doesn’t remember his past deviancies.

She claims her father is a mean man because he refused to pay for Julliard. He did, however, pay for her to attend Harvard.

No, she is not supporting Biden for President. She said she won’t be voting at all for President. Her friend who attested to her veracity said that she would be voting for Sleepy Joe, but Reade would not.

You left the”s” off of ‘something’. What infuriates me the most is not the deviancies and criminal behaviors of these demon rats is that the voters don't care. Too many fellow Americans have acquiesced to the crap and keep voting the filth into Washington. It comes down to demonrat voters don't deserve this Republic.

Schizoid.

Chris Hayes will be fired for this by the end of next week.

Really?

She has more credibility than Christina Ballsey Ford who had no witnesses, couldn’t remember when it happened or where the hell she was but she got a Congressional hearing about it and completely devastated an innocent man and his family with the entire support of every single democrat in this country even though the only ‘fact’ was that this b!tch mumbled and giggled fuzzy details.

THIS VICTIM told several people when it happened - as a matter of fact, a Biden supporter came forward and confirmed what happened as the victim told her about it when it did, her mother called Larry King for crying out loud and she filed a police report.

If you know nothing about what is being discussed, kindly leave the adult’s table and keep your uneducated and uninformed opinions to yourself - and go ahead and vote for a man who raped a woman with his two fingers, penetrating her without her consent and who has nonchalantly violated women and children on camera for decades with nary a care in the world. Or vote for Hillary.

So help me God, I will pray for any victim whose jury you are on.

And calling a sexual assault victim names lets the world know who you really are.

All this useless angst. Short a confession or a blue dress one ever knows the truth of these stories.

My only question is who is behind it? Shes a Democrat.

** How do you explain her relaying the account of the incident to several people contemporaneously who now confirm it? What about her mother’s call to Larry King? **

I’ll take a shot... The Larry King call? Somebody had a memory of that call concerning “a senator” and put it together with a little “inside knowledge” that it was Biden that was being spoken of. Political campaigns are full of operatives who can take a little bit of information and feed it to a willing Press with an eyedropper along with a healthy hint to fill-in some of the narrative gaps.

IOW’s this could be a whole lot of nothing in the way that Kavanaugh’s trap turned out. Of course this is Joe Biden. Kavanaugh was an unknown. But Biden’s public actions are fertile ground as this kind of charge is immediately believable on both sides of the aisle. And there is the chance that it’s all true. But that’s largely irrelevant too since it probably can’t be proven in a court of law. What IS relevant is that it could — properly handled — end Biden’s career and destroy his political reputation (such as it is).

“Reade’s allegations are very believable.”

I think so, too. Her mother wouldn’t have called Larry King if it were nothing. And her RAT, Hillary-loving former next door neighbor wouldn’t have confirmed the contemporaneous conversation.

** My bet is Hillary still hasn’t given up her ambition to rule. **

Hillary is certainly a ‘player’ in the Biden events as they play out. But don’t forget that when it was “her turn” Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid conspired to push Barack Obama — a real nobody — onto the nation. Hillary got a royal scr3wing. She won the bulk of the primary delegates, but the DNC manipulated the caucuses to ensure that BO had a majority of the delegates. And when that wasn’t enough the DNC moved the superdelegates over to Barak for good measure, and left Hillary’s people screaming bloody murder. Ultimately she was bought off with the SecState position so that she wouldn’t cause a ruckus at the convention.

Bottom line: Sanders is gone. Biden’s utility to the DNC is therefore at an end. And Nancy & Chucky Shumer are going to give us their candidate. Anybody’s guess. But as I said on another post. That “perfect candidate” will have the same charactaristics as Barack Obama: no documented background, and a thin politica resume. Any Democrats recently right their own autobiography touting questionable events and achievements?

Why don't you read through this thread and do some research on Tara Reade's spoken and written comments on this matter, and then get back to me.

Do you even know WHAT these so-called "corroborating witnesses" even corroborated?

Look at the subject matter of this article. Do you realize that if Reade's accusations today do not match the allegations she made back in 1993, then she wouldn't even be a credible "corroborating witness" HERSELF?
