View Full Version : Tara Reade working with Ronan Farrow
Jim in CT 05-06-2020, 08:27 PM to document her experience with Biden, in a piece that will be in the New Yorker. Ronan Farrow has as much credibility on this issue, as anyone, having broke the Weinstein story that no one wanted him to report. If he thought liberals made THAT story difficult, he might want to hire someone to start his car for him in the mornings when this comes out...
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,...

Pete F. 05-07-2020, 09:54 PM One of Tara Reade's new attorneys donated $55,000 to Trump in 2016. The other is a former writer and editor for a Russian propaganda network.
Pete F. 05-07-2020, 09:56 PM “Wigdor has been a supporter of Trump and provided about $55,000 in campaign contributions in 2016.” Moran “wrote and edited for Sputnik, a news agency founded and supported by the Russian state-owned media company Rossiya Segodnya.”
Pete F. 05-07-2020, 09:57 PM The lawyer’s name is Douglas Wigdor. Here’s his track record:
1. He is best well known for representing 6 of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assault accusers.
2. He represented 20 Fox News employees on a gender and racial discrimination settlement.

oh good...now perpetually wrong pete is spreading russian propoganda
Jim in CT 05-08-2020, 06:52 AM pete, before you humiliate yourself trying to imply that the russian government is behind this ( where have we herd that bullsh*t before), tell me what role this attorney is playing on reades team, and what connection he had today with russian officials?
does russian have anything to do with whether or not she’s telling the truth?
another question, do you care at all if she’s telling the truth? if video surfaced of biden assaulting her, would you do anything differently between. ow and november?
you call us trumplicans. you accuse us of being unable to fairly criticize trump when he deserves it. is that any different than what you do with biden?

Pete, what does it say about the flimsiness of your positions, that you are literally unable to respond directly to such simple questions? what do you think that says about the validity of your positions, that you can’t offer a syllable of response to defend them? it means you haven’t thought about why you believe things. you just know that it’s your job as a lemming to unquestionably believe them.

So you are saying something is fishy, because Tara Reade retained the services of someone who has prior experience handling assault claims against a wealthy and powerful men? She should have just retained some kid who just graduated from law school yesterday?
You are surprised that she would choose to hire someone with that experience?
That's some fine logic there.

Biden has a PATTERN of being a good moral decent loving man.
That’s all I need to see.
Especially when the choice is not just a bad man. He is an avatar for iniquity and immorality and selfishness. He runs the table on the seven deadly sins and demonstrates not a trace of any of the four cardinal virtues. He possesses not a single character trait that you would want your child to fully emulate. He cares about nothing and no one besides himself.

His supporters wouldn't care.
Trump should never have used that stupid line, but it's true, and it's not unique to Trump. I haven't seen a single liberal here, apply the Kavanaugh standard to Biden. Some well-known democrats have said they believe Tara Reade, but they are voting for Biden anyway, because his winning is more important than Tara Reade's claim.
So it's OK when democrats plug their nose and vote for the deeply flawed guy whose policies they like. But when the right does it, that's different? Why?

"Biden has a PATTERN of being a good moral decent loving man. "
Wow, a pattern. Not just a pattern, but a PATTERN.
Tell that to Clarence Thomas and Robert Bork.
When Biden told blacks that "Republicans want to put y'all back in chains", that was such a good, moral, decent thing to say.
I can do this all day, Pete. All day.
What was the evidence that Kavanaugh wasn't a decent man, until he found himself being a political adversary of the democrats? Have fun with THAT one.
Jimmy Carter is also a decent, moral man. But he was a disaster as a president. As my executive, I'd rather have a jerk who gets the job done right, than a truly nice guy who can't do anything right. It's a results versus style argument. which is fine, as long as we can be honest. I can be perfectly honest about Trumps style. You can't show a speck of honesty about his results.
You're not holding any cards here. Not even a pair of 6's.

Ahhh...So when YOU want to win badly enough, the personal behavior of your candidate doesn't matter. But it's never OK for conservatives to do the same thing.
That's what you just said, that only Trumps behavior matters.
Between the Reade assault charge and Biden's clear onset of senility, your best hope is getting Biden to step down and putting Michelle Obama in his place. I don't think Trump would have a chance against her.

Now they’re gonna keep sending the Kayleigh McEnany’s to lie to us, they’re gonna block the Fauci’s, they’re gonna steal as much as they can until November and either leave us in a pile of ashes or continue the grift. Either way it’s a criminal abuse of democracy.
Pete F. 05-08-2020, 10:02 AM I’m old enough to remember when Trump* took out a full page ad in the New York Times to call for the public execution of five black children who were falsely accused of attacking a white jogger in Central Park.
And all you need to know about America in 2020, is that Trump* won’t speak out or condemn, the lynching of a black man in broad daylight, because he fears it would anger his base.
If a 25 year-old white jogger had been murdered by two black men on Feb. 23 in the State of Georgia, they would already be on death row and Trump* would be using them as an example of what his base should fear at the next MAGA rally.

You did not post the full article. Where in the ad did Trump ask for the death penalty of the Central Park Five? He did not do so. His ad was speaking about the total crime situation in NY City at the time, not just the Five. And the crime situation there at the time was horrific. And it was about the police being overly restricted and the justice system being overly psychoanalytic and lenient. His call for the death penalty was for murderers (who were given prison sentences rather than execution), not for the Central Park Five.
It is that fake news trick to "interpret" or portray or characterize what is said by Trump in a negative way as has so often been exposed on this forum. And it is a very effective trick as you're being duped by it shows.

If the economy makes any kind of a comeback between now and then, and is seen as having momentum, Biden is in a tough spot.
People forget what a terrible campaigner he is. And that was when he was playing with a full deck.

To be fair it doesn't say 'execute the central park five' but he conveniently it ran during or before the trial (I can't recall which)....
PaulS 05-08-2020, 02:30 PM To be fair it doesn't say 'execute the central park five' but he conveniently it ran during or before the trial (I can't recall which)....
No, he is a sloppy talker and writer. While it doesn't say bring back the death penalty, he mentions the park (and given the timing) any reasonable person would assume that is what he meant.
Jim in CT 05-08-2020, 02:36 PM I can't read Trumps letter for some reason. Is he saying that these kids should have been executed? Or whoever was guilty? Either way, better to shut up.
But again, it was all right for Obama to bash cops every singe time anyone got hurt, which maybe by coincidence, he did just before a series of random attacks and assassinations of police took place ("uh, I don't know what happened, but uh, the Cambridge police aced stupidly"). One standard for Obama, another for trump. Because range man bad.
detbuch 05-08-2020, 03:30 PM No, he is a sloppy talker and writer. While it doesn't say bring back the death penalty, he mentions the park (and given the timing) any reasonable person would assume that is what he meant.
There is no need to "assume" what he meant. In the ad, he SPECIFICALLY tied the death penalty to murder. For all other serious crimes that they should be punished and made to suffer.
As in, "I want to hate these muggers and murderers, and when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes." Or as in, "Those who would murder our citizens and terrorize New York--bring back the death penalty." (Their is no comma between "citizens" and "and terrorize" so "terrorize" was a result of "murder[ing] our citizens".)
So, he clearly wanted the death penalty to apply to murder. He did not like that murder should be penalized merely with imprisonment. And the other criminals who were at that time (this was just before Giuliani cleaned up the horrific crime problem NY was having) should be made to suffer (not given the death penalty).
And there was no nod toward racism, he said that the New Yorkers who were suffering from the widespread crime in the city at the time were White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian. And did not claim or hint that the criminals were all non-White. The Central Park Five were only a part of the whole, horrific, criminal predation of the city. And they were not convicted of murder. So they would not be his targets for the death penalty.
The claim that he asked for the death penalty for the Five is not found in the ad, nor is it implied. And the ad was not, in the main, merely about the Five. It was about what was happening in the city. The Five, whom he never specifically mentioned, were just part of the problem. The whole situation is what the ad was about, and the death penalty, in the ad, was specifically for murderers.
Way after that event and that ad, there is this attempt to characterize it as racist and calling for the death penalty for five innocent black children (at the time they were convicted, not innocent). Any "reasonable" reading of the ad would not find a claim that Trump called for the death penalty for the Five. Not only that, but he was being very clear in what he was talking about and to whom he was referring. If he had wanted to call for the execution of the Five, he could easily had said so. He was speaking about the overall, terrible crime that was gripping his city at that time. And he lamented that the police were not allowed to pursue crime as they should be, and that the death penalty would be the more proper and effective remedy for murder.
But the claim that he is a racist who wanted to execute five innocent black children is not about being reasonable. It is the typical, incessant, attempt to twist, interpret, conjecture, insinuate, characterize what Trump says and does into proving that Orange Man Bad. And as for him being a sloppy talker and writer, that is true about how he speaks. But writing is not extemporaneous, unscripted speech. His ad was not sloppy, was well and clearly written.

Agreed I was just going to come back and say that.
Since then, he has repeatedly reiterated the guilty verdict of the men, even though their convictions were vacated. “They admitted they were guilty,” the then-candidate said in a CNN interview the month before the 2016 election. “The police doing the original investigation say they were guilty. The fact that that case was settled with so much evidence against them is outrageous. And the woman, so badly injured, will never be the same.”

Pete F's false statement was That Trump put an ad in the NYT to "call for the public execution of five black children". There was no such call, nor even a hint of it in that ad. He clearly, specifically, demonstrably said that the death penalty should be applied to murderers. The only time the death penalty or executing criminals was mentioned in the ad was in regard to those who kill or murder. He never even hinted that it should be applied to the crimes that the Central Park Five were convicted of.
I challenge you to point out where in his ad he said that the Five should be executed. It is a very serious charge to say that he made such a call. I have no doubt that you cannot find such a thing being said by Trump in that ad.
And now you blithely change the subject by saying that "Since then, he has repeatedly reiterated the guilty verdict of the men"--that is not the point. The point is, Pete F made a false statement that Trump called for their execution. And he claims that he still is saying that.
You have several times asked for a link when someone asserted something you questioned. Please show a link where Trump is asserting that the Five should be executed. And please show where in the original ad Trump said that they should be executed.

I don't know what he had so I care less. I know he had a disability. If that makes you feel better that he didn't have Downs knock yourself out. But the bottom line is he was mocking someone with a disability he knew the person had a disability yet did it. And that is the classy guy that you are on here defending day in and day out repeatedly. I guess that's a reflection of you

He wasn't mocking the reporter's disability. He was mocking the reporter for, what he considered, backtracking on what he had earlier said.

detbuch 05-08-2020, 07:36 PM I can't read it so post it up. And where exactly did I say he said they should be executed? What I said is the ad is written sloppily and people will assume that's what he meant.
If you couldn't read it, how could you tell what was in it?

No, you didn't "exactly" say that Trump called for the Five to be executed. And I'm not going to weasel word claim that "any reasonable person would assume that is what [you] meant." Nor, BTW, did Trump "exactly" say that. As a matter of fact, he specifically said that murderers should be executed--not that the Five should. The Five did not murder the biker, nor did he did claim that they did. The ad was mostly not about the Five, nor did he "exactly" even refer to them.
So my quibble is not really with you. It is with what Pete F claimed. And you did seem to back him up. If you do not "exactly" agree with Pete F, that's fine with me. If I am mistaken that you think Trump called for the Central Park Five to be executed, then I apologize for misunderstanding you. But if you think Pete F is right, that Trump did call for that, then I retract my apology and request that you back it up by pointing out where he "exactly" said (or even implied that he said) that the Five should be executed.

And I have no problem with anyone who's not perfect. But let's remember that the Republicans are constantly talking about makers and takers so you have to assume that if someone is not perfect they probably don't contribute as much as the makers in this world and the Republicans consider them "takers" and therefore look down on them.

You change your argument from more money to time. But it's the same answer they donate the time to churches. So when my church wanted to make a small Chapel out of what was the garage and I helped demo it that would go towards donating time to a charity which in effect nobody else is going to use other than the parishioners.
I've heard it numerous times about makers and takers here and elsewhere but you're right it was a generalization I shouldn't have made. It doesn't change the fact that they look down on people who don't contribute as much as others.

Trump claimed that he was mocking what he considered a frustrated journalist trying to explain away what he had previously written. His movements certainly were not an imitation of the reporter's disability, since that disability wouldn't have enabled the reporter to make those movements--movements that were similar to movements when he mocked others who were not disabled, and very similar to when he mocked Ted Cruz.

No I don't know what his disability was, just that he had a disability. I did read one article that said the way he was mocking the reporter was different than the way he later mocked Cruz.

It's not about defending Trump, it's about sifting the germ of truth from the chaff of political spin. It would be valid enough to say that Trump was mocking the reporter. It can be argued whether that was proper or not. Maybe he deserved it maybe not. Trump even admitted he did. But to try to make it something worse than it might have been by seizing the opportunity to assume it was an insensitive, even sociopathic mocking of someone's disability simply because the reporter was disabled is worse than pathetic. It's a sociopathic disregard both of the disability as well as of the truth in order to gain some kind of power, to destroy someone for political gain.
detbuch 05-08-2020, 10:36 PM Then when asked about it why doesn't he say I never said that the five kids should be executed?
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
It is obvious that would have no effect other than extending the ridiculous conversation. It is obvious that he didn't say it. It is obvious that a spin was concocted to damage Trump. It is obvious, as is being demonstrated here, that denying what is obviously untrue would not change the contrived narrative that he said they should be executed, because the narrative was not meant to be the truth. It was meant to damage Trump--so it will not be abandoned.
Denying it would just be called another Trump "lie." Better to just shrug it off and move on.
And you still cannot show that trump said the Five should be executed because he didn't say it. Pete F made the accusation. The burden of proof rests on Pete, and on you if you want to keep extending the narrative.

if dapussy is my wife, she graduated cum laude with a degree in math from Union College and was a varsity athlete. She left a great actuarial career to stay home with our three boys, who are all taught that while trumps policies are superior to Hilary’s, his personal behavior is far from what’s tolerable, they are all fine, do well in school and all are into martial arts and baseball and basketball and cub scouts and fishing and camping. all is well here. Paul would probably call one of my kids a “retard” but that says more about him than it does us. likewise, that the best you can do is insult my mother and my wife, tells us that even you realize you can’t defend your asinine positions here. the irony is, you’re doing what trump would do. you claim that i endorse his personal behavior, when clearly it’s you who feels justified in insulting those with whom you disagree in this manner. kind of funny when you look at it that way.

He confused me with Pete and then when I said something like I was going to post the same thing to Pete it was about trumps claiming that since the Central Park five confesed they were guilty yet he he's changing his argument with Flynn who plead guilty. You insult so many people you don't even recognize insults anymore. It also said I attempted to "twist, interpret, conjecture, insinuate, characterize what Trump said". He also said something like I accused Trump of racism. And I did none of those things.

"I don't call myself a victim"
Every single time someone points out that you can be as insulting or crass as anyone, you immediately claim that you reacted in self defense because someone else was picking on poor little you. Every. Single. Time. It's never your fault. Not once.
"I told you I why I used the word "
As usual, I included your reasoning - you think the use of the word "retard" is justified to criticize Trump for mocking someone who doesn't have any intellectual issues. Its absurd.
"I told you I why I used the word...Pls. point out where I said t there's nothing wrong with using the word retard "
I have to admit, that as skilled as I am in understanding the flawed thought process of liberals, you are losing me here. So let me just ask you straight up, in front of everyone here...is that word hateful and offensive, or is it OK to use as a weapon? It can be one or the other, not both.
You used the word, you tried to justify it. In your mind, there was nothing wrong with your using it.

In the world in which I live, you like to claim the moral high ground and lecture others that they should play nice. Which is a notion I agree with, but concede I fall short of. Yet when we point out that you throw elbows with the best of them, you always whine about being picked on, you did it in this post. Every single time, it's someone else's fault. You are the only one who can act this way and still claim you're as innocent as a newborn kitten.
If I say that I only resort to insults when I feel that I've been pushed there, is that good enough for you? Or are you the only one who gets to play that card?
"I did it because he did it first " is an excuse that I don't let my children get away with. Even my middle son the "retard" knows better than to try that.

You used the word, you tried to justify it. In your mind, there was nothing wrong with your using it.
I used it to point out your hypocrisy and to mock you for not having a problem with Trump. The Repub. elected a man who stood up on stage and acted like a 8 year old mocking someone with a disability. But as you said - as long as your 401K is doing ok, you don't care what he does.
How many times are you going to ask the same thing?
Jim in CT 05-09-2020, 10:40 AM I used it to point out your hypocrisy and to mock you for not having a problem with Trump.
How many times are you going to ask the same thing?
"mock you for not having a problem with having deranged, irrational, obsessive hatred for Trump"
Fixed it for you. I have serious, serious issues with his moral compass. My issues, unlike yours, aren't based in politics. My concerns with him are real. Not partisan nonsense.
" How many times are you going to ask the same thing"
For sure, I'd stop if you answered. Why would you use the word "retard" to describe someone when you admit you had no idea what his issues were? Do you use that hateful, disgusting term to describe everyone who isn't perfect?
PaulS 05-09-2020, 10:41 AM In the world in which I live, you like to claim the moral high ground and lecture others that they should play nice. Which is a notion I agree with, but concede I fall short of. Yet when we point out that you throw elbows with the best of them, you always whine about being picked on, you did it in this post.I'll admit I'll insult people when they insult me here. Every single time, it's someone else's fault. You are the only one who can act this way and still claim you're as innocent as a newborn kitten.As I said, try acting like an adult for 1 hour and not insult people and see the reaction you get. I don't think you can do that.
If I say that I only resort to insults when I feel that I've been pushed there, is that good enough for you? Or are you the only one who gets to play that card?Feel free, but I think you resort to insults many times before others do.
"I did it because he did it first " is an excuse that I don't let my children get away with. Well people only can ignore so much.Even my middle son the "retard" knows better than to try that.
I didn't know that.
Jim in CT 05-09-2020, 10:43 AM Paul, in another thread, you denied you are a tattletale, but admitted that you went to Kevn with reports of others behaving in ways you didn't like, hoping he'd exert his authority. But that's not tattling.
In this post, you again claim that every single time you insult people, it's because they did it to you first. Every single time, you deny that you are responsible for your behavior, that someone else always made you do it. But you deny playing the victim card.
I'm not sure you know what "tattletale" or "playing the victim card" mean.
PaulS 05-09-2020, 10:44 AM "mock you for not having a problem with having deranged, irrational, obsessive hatred for Trump"How many posts did you put up about every little thing Obama did - never mind that Trump is 0000s of times worse and there is no bottom for his insults.
Fixed it for you. I have serious, serious issues with his moral compass. My issues, unlike yours, aren't based in politics. My concerns with him are real. Not partisan nonsense. So you think I wouldn't mind if say Biden starting calling people the vile things Trump does - your wrong then.

For the 10th time. Bruce posted the rules for some reason and I said why not inforce them? I pointed out direct violations of those rules. Why post them but not inforce them?

I know what both are.
Jim in CT 05-09-2020, 10:47 AM But as you said - as long as your 401K is doing ok, you don't care what he does.
And you voted for a woman who married a predator, lied to protect him, and slut-shamed his victims on TV. A woman who said people who disagree with her (fellow American citizens) are deplorable. You overlooked her deep flaws and voted for her anyway. Right? So it's OK when you ignore your candidate's personal behavior, but a character flaw when Republicans do it.
Character wasn't on the ballot in 2016. Nor will it be in 2020. In November, you're going to vote for a man who told blacks that Romney "wants to put y'all back in chains".
But it's OK when you do it.

Please differentiate that, from tattling.

Jim in CT 05-09-2020, 10:53 AM you think I wouldn't mind if say Biden starting calling people the vile things Trump does - your wrong then.
Hilary went on TV and said that her husband's many victims were "narcissist loony tunes". She said those who disagree with her are racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, etc.
And Biden told blacks very explicitly, that Romney wants them back in chains.
Now, since you say you don't give your candidates a pass for saying vile things, please tell us your reaction to Hilary and Biden saying those things. Are you a glaring hypocrite? Or did you refuse to support Hilary and Biden?
Have fun with that.
Am I making those accusations up? Are those vile things to say? Is attacking assault victims on global television a vile thing to do? Or is that a trait you like in your president?
Biden also very likely sexually assaulted a young girl. But you're going to vote for him.
So where do you get off acting like you don't ignore personal character and vote on policy, just like I do?

Don't you have any pride not making any $?
detbuch 05-09-2020, 11:18 AM He confused me with Pete and then when I said something like I was going to post the same thing to Pete it was about trumps claiming that since the Central Park five confesed they were guilty yet he he's changing his argument with Flynn who plead guilty.
I didn't confuse you with Pete. I pointed out that you agreed (without qualification) to Pete's statement. You didn't specify which part of his statement. Any reasonable person would have assumed you agreed with his statement. Perhaps you didn't know what he meant by "he still does."
You insult so many people you don't even recognize insults anymore.
You consider what I said an insult? How was it an insult?
It also said I attempted to "twist, interpret, conjecture, insinuate, characterize what Trump said". He also said something like I accused Trump of racism. And I did none of those things.
I didn't say that you did any of that. I referred to general comments that were being made and implied (including by Pete) against Trump re the ad, didn't mention you. But if you want to take it personally, that's you're prerogative.
Nor was any of it meant as an insult. Pointing out that someone twists, interprets, conjectures, insinuates, or characterizes, is not inherently an insult. Nor did I say that you said Trump is a racist. I pointed out, correctly, that "there is this attempt to characterize it [the ad] as racist." There absolutely has been that attempt by anti-Trumpers, including Pete. Didn't mention you. The only thing I said in that paragraph that was directed at you, actually agreed with you that Trump is a sloppy talker (well put actually), but disagreed that the ad was sloppily written.
Here's an idea why don't you try acting like a grown up for a couple hours and stop with the insults and see what type of responses you get.
You might want to be less sensitive or defensive (this is not an insult), and not take personally things that are not referring directly to you. And you might want to tighten up the scope of what you consider an insult (this is not an insult).

Ahh, I see! So you, and only you, get to decide what sins are forgivable, and which are not. I'm so sorry Paul, somehow I missed that announcement that you are the arbiter of such things.
Who cares if she apologized? If Trump apologized, would you accept it and forget everything? After Hilary lost, she blamed every force on earth for her defeat, except her own shortcomings, so there's zero evidence the apology was sincere.
At that level, almost all are scumbags, so you're voting for whose policy you like better. That's what you do, it's what I do.

And why does the word retard bother you more when you called Democrats whores? You don't think people find that offensive?

How is it not tattling when you tell the authority figures who you think violated the rules, in the hope of getting them punished?
"And why does the word retard bother you more when you called Democrats whores?"
The people who you call "retards", are people who were born with challenges. They didn't ask to be born with challenges, they didn't do anything to deserve those challenges, it just happened to them. Normal human beings feel empathy for them.
You are comparing those people, to the democrats who have run CT for 40 years and led us to bankruptcy, and gotten wealthy from their union masters along the way?
My state rep Joe Aresimowicz is speaker of the CT House, he also is a full time employee of the largest state employee labor union. Joe has done quite well for himself rewarding the union (himself) with massive state spending which we all know the state can never pay for. He also gets a nice paycheck as a legislator for, supposedly, representing me. So he represents both the taxpayers and the union, gets paid by both sides simultaneously during contract negotiations. That makes zero sense. But it's worked out very well for Joe.
If I call Joe a whore, in my opinion he has earned that label through his actions, and for sure he is capable to defend himself against it.
You are saying a person with Down's Syndrome, deserves to be called a "retard", as much as he deserves to be called a whore? That's what you're really saying?
Many of the positions you have taken recently on this board have made it clear that you are no deep thinker. This one takes the cake. To you, being born disabled is as much of a character flaw for those you call "retards", as crooked politicians who knowingly make disastrous public policy because someone is paying them to do so.
I feel bad for you, I really do. When I think of the debates we used to have and how sharp and knowledgeable and challenging you were, and I compare that to what you have descended to...I feel sorry for you, that's all. Shame on you.
PaulS 05-09-2020, 12:34 PM Face it you specifically called Democrats whores and then you have the nerve to criticize what someone else does. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Now you're moving the goalposts.
You lost me (and everyone else) at suggesting there's any moral equivalence between insulting a crooked politician, and insulting someone born with a disability. I find the air quite clean on my side of this Paul. Quite clean. I'm very comfortable embracing the idea that we avoid using hateful language that's deeply offensive to innocent people who often struggle through no fault of their own. You think it's OK to use that language to achieve your own ends. Fine.
Some people (not you), think that adults who lie and cheat, and people born with disabilities, are different.
"And I bet if I open up every other active thread in this forum you're arguing with somebody else"
And you're not. Nor is everyone else.
PaulS 05-09-2020, 03:28 PM You're using vile language in calling someone a whore just because you don't like someone's politics and now you trying to justify it in your mind.

"You're using vile language in calling someone a whore just because you don't like someone's politics '
I don't know that enriching yourself while taxing people into oblivion and then spending 100 billion more than the taxes will fund, is a political position. John Roland was a Republican, he is also a whore who enriched himself while screwing the people he was supposed to represent. I call them whores regardless of politics, I don't care what their position is on climate change or abortion when I call them whores.
Paul, in my opinion it's possible for an adult to act in such a way as to earn insults. Obviously you agree, which is why you have called me scummy. That's fine. I agree that sometimes people (adults) act in a way as to deserve ridicule.
I don't think that being born with a disability, means those people deserve to have hate speech thrown their way. You do. You did it, you angrily defended it multiple times.
"You never said you used it for a crooked politician you just said Democrat whores"
I said democrat whores who screw their constituents when the union says to do so. If there are any democrats opposed to bankrupting the state for their union masters (as far as I know none ever oppose the budgets or tax hikes), I would not include them.
'I admit retard is vile and I used it for a specific purpose"
The vile nature of that term is due to the pain it causes the disabled. That has nothing to do with lobbing it at Trump. Your use of that word doesn't hurt Trump, it hurts disabled people.
The democrats in our state legislature screw us for money. That makes them whores of a sort.
Trump, for all his faults, does not make fun of "retards", no matter how many times you say it.
I have called Joe Aresimowicz a whore to his face, in public. That's what he is, and even he knows it. I walked out of there and there were people thanking me. If you went to a SPecial Olympics event and said "Trump makes fun of retards", youd get the crap beat out of you, and you'd deserve it. I know one Dad, I'd pay you a lot of money to say that in front of. Enough to cover your emergency room copay.
When I say something vile, you've done something to deserve it. When you say "retard", the "retards" didn't do anything to you. All you see is your hatred of Trump, you don't see, you can't see, how hurtful that is to people who didn't do anything to you. It's every bit as bad as n*gger.

In 2017, on multiple occasions, Reade rretweeted or “liked” praise for Biden and his work combating sexual assault. In the same year, Reade tweeted other compliments of Biden, including: “My old boss speaks truth. Listen.”
Reade referred to Biden as “the blue version of Trump.” Reade also pushed a Sanders/Elizabeth Warren ticket, while complaining that the Democratic National Committee was trying to “shove” Biden “down Democrat voters throats.”
Love of Russia and Putin. During 2017 when Reade was praising Biden, she was condemning Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s efforts to hijack American democracy in the 2016 election. This changed in November 2018, when Reade trashed the United States as a country of “hypocrisy and imperialism” and “not a democracy at all but a corporate autocracy.”
Reade’s distaste for America closely tracked her new infatuation with Russia and Putin. She referred to Putin as a “genius” with an athletic prowess that “is intoxicating to American women.” Then there’s this gem: “President Putin has an alluring combination of strength with gentleness. His sensuous image projects his love for life, the embodiment of grace while facing adversity.”
In March 2019, Reade essentially dismissed the idea of Russian interference in the 2016 American presidential election as hype. She said she loved Russia and her Russian relatives — and "like most women across the world, I like President Putin … a lot, his shirt on or shirt off.”

'and the right embraces her like their own"
You bet we do. She will make it more likely that Biden loses.
In your recap of things people have historically said, you conveniently left out what Biden said ,during the Kavanaugh hearings, about believing women who come forward. so why is it "unfair" that we ask Biden to subject himself to the same standard that he held Brett Kavanaugh to? Please explain?

Jim in CT 05-11-2020, 07:12 AM keep attacking the victim....
She's doing a piece for the New Yorker with Farrow that will be out before the election. Everyone on the left knows this will hurt Biden and make them look like the hypocrites they are on the issue of "believe all women". It's not insurmountable of course, especially not against Trump.
Surprised Farrow is doing this, as he's also a liberal democrat who knows this will help Trump. Unless he hopes that it gets the power brokers to shove Biden aside and put Michelle Obama in there, who I don't think we'd have a prayer against.
RIROCKHOUND 05-11-2020, 07:14 AM keep attacking the victim....
1. Have an investigation, I have said it multiple times here, as have others. If it happened when he was a senator, have a senate investigation. I will read what Farrow comes up with, and make my own opinion later.
2. Is it attacking the victim to bring in her own tweets and quotes? If she is out there tweeting and commenting about Biden a year or two ago and now does a 180 on it, it bears questioning that she isn't a nutjob, albeit one we should at least hear out. You sound like Trump 'don't attack me with my own words....'
RIROCKHOUND 05-11-2020, 07:15 AM Michelle Obama in there, who I don't think we'd have a prayer against.
Agree, she would mop the floor with Trump, but she isn't running. Full stop.
Sleeper pick for VP is Susan Rice though...... :hidin:

Nobody is worried about Susan Rice. I hope you're right about Michelle, and I do think you're right. Man I hope so.
I'm still thinking Warren, I think it needs to be somebody the Bernie progressives can get behind.

I'm sure it will be Biden, unless he deteriorates to the point where he has to step aside. He's fading fast.
RIROCKHOUND 05-11-2020, 07:25 AM I'm still thinking Warren, I think it needs to be somebody the Bernie progressives can get behind.
Really, African-American woman that moderate democrats can support? Seems in-line with Biden. I don't think he goes for Warren, but maybe. I hope he doesn't go for Abrams, too untested on the national stage.

I agree she's in line with Biden. But I was thinking, and I could well be wrong, that he needs someone who the progressive wing will like, because they don't like him, they wanted Bernie, and if Bernie supporters stay home like many did in 2016, he can't win. But Warren isn't going to win over any independents in swing states, but who knows if VPs ever do that.
From my perspective I would love if he picked Abrams as I think she'd prove to be very Sara Palin-like. State legislature to VP is a huge leap as you said.
It will be an interesting choice. Depends on which boxes they think are most important to check off.

you assume hes doing this to prove her right? What will you say when the story isn't what you've predected

Pete F. 05-11-2020, 12:29 PM I've heard that Ronan's investigating this part of the story also.
It looks like Tara Reade was charged with check fraud on August 2, 1993, and the Biden Senate office forced her to resign in lieu of termination within the end of the week. It looks like her third strike, she'd been docked twice before.
Suddenly this whole tawdry spectacle makes a lot of sense...
Can't tell Mom she was fired, Mom calls the radio talk show
Can't admit to her friends she was fired, makes up various stories
And on and on

So she is working with Ronan Farrow to disprove her claim. Makes all kinds of sense.
Again, how do YOU know how it will end? Amazingly, you always know more than what's reported, and also amazingly, your additional knowledge always makes it more favorable to the left.

It may turn out she made up the whole thing because the Koch brothers paid her to do so. But how do you already know that it's not just what she says?

spence 05-11-2020, 05:28 PM I don’t think it hurts Biden at all unless there’s a big change. He’s going to pick a female VP and the opponent has as bad of a track record with women as you can get.
Big thing Biden has to do is articulate a value statement for electing him. Clinton struggled with this. Trump just spread lies and fear but negative advertising does tend to work.

It is amazing that you claim to know the rest of the story and that the only story Ronan is willing to tell is that men abuse women. Quite the opposite of what you claim the truth to be. Or is your story taking a new spin?

When did I claim to know anything that's not public knowledge? I guess I'm speculating that Reade didn't agree to work with him for the intent of bashing her credibility. I think that's a safe bet.

We are all stunned that you take this position. We all have to lie down.
Can I ask you, what happened to Biden's deeply held principle that we have an obligation to believe (not just 'hear', but believe) all women? What happened to that liberal conviction? Did I take it out of context when Biden himself said you have to resume they're telling the truth? Was that just his dementia?
"Big thing Biden has to do is articulate a value statement for electing him"
Good luck with that,,,"four score and...we hold these, truths to be self, man, I mean man, ...Trump wants to put y'all back in chains. Can I go lie down now?"
"He’s going to pick a female VP "
Big whoop from that list.

Please post where I said that Farrow will only write about men busing women. Let's start with that. I never said anything remotely close to that. Maybe you got bitchslapped one too many times?
You are making stuff up out of thin air, because you cannot respond to reality.

So tough guy, how are the truck stops?
Jim in CT 05-11-2020, 07:00 PM So tough guy, how are the truck stops?
i said, in this case, chances are Reade brought him in to help tell her story. I said nothing about the rest of farrows career.
so when i sat it’s unlikely Reade brought Farrow in to torpedo her, somehow you took that to mean that Farrows entire career is blaming men? i’m talking about this story, this one story.
my god man. you don’t think it’s possible for me to say he’s probably siding with the woman on this one story, but his career is defined by writing many different stories? why is it all or nothing? that’s how giy are with everything, trump is always wrong, anyone who agrees with him once is a trumplican.

instead of making idiotic guesses as to what i’m thinking, just ask me.
why on earth would Tara Reade collaborate with Farrow, if his angle was to undermine her claim?
he’s not working on his own, they are working together.
but don’t worry, an anonymous former white house staffer says biden is doing great. Faced with that, Trump will probably just drop out:

If only you cared so much for the current POTUS character before you voted from him and defend his every action against every critic as suffering from TDS. you might have some solid ground to stand on, in your criticisms of Biden and the left ... and please let's not hear about your random distancing for Trump as your evidence of your not one of his faithful :wave:

"Why do people say their kids have cancer when they dont.. and have fundraiser"
OK. And if you have any evidence that she is a broken person who made this up for attention (which is possible), please share. Otherwise, you are making stuff up because that's what you want the situation to be. Biden has long been known for being handsy with women. How many women have accused him of inappropriate touching? 6 or 7? But let's make a big deal that Pence will not allow himself to be put in that situation.
'now that's an interesting take on his participation '
How would you describe it? And based on what?
"If only you cared so much for the current POTUS character before you voted from him '
And now, in classic desperate liberal fashion, you are moving the goalposts. I never said character was the main concern for me in a POTUS, if it was, I couldn't vote for Trump. I have said a thousand times, I care about results. I settled on that belief during the Bill Clinton presidency. He is an absolute scumbag, a degenerate, pathetic excuse for a man, a husband, and a father. But he did good things as a POTUS. Back then, the liberals only cared about the results of his policies not his character, and I decided they were right.
I am true to that position. It's your side who keeps flip-flopping. When Clinton was President, liberals said his moral compass didn't matter. When Trump got elected, suddenly personal ethics were all that mattered.
Whatever works at the time, is what liberals believe. For sure, there are all kinds of issues of conservative hypocrisy (concern over debt being the most obvious). On this issue, your side looks ridiculously silly and totally devoid of any meaningful principles. Not long ago, Biden himself said we had an obligation to believe all women. Not to "respect" them, not to "hear" them, but to believe them.
Now, not so much. Didn't last very long, did it.
"of your not one of his faithful "
I'm not faithful to Trump. I am faithful to whichever candidate will do a better job of growing the economy, protecting the unborn, killing terrorists, and respecting the Constitution. At this time, that means Republicans. That may change, but as of right now, the democrats are getting much further away from those ideas, not moving closer. When Joe Biden is considered too moderate for much of the democratic party, that tells you how far they've lurched to the left in 15 years.
