Tara Reade working with Ronan Farrow
 
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,...

Hard to believe Russia is involved
One of the attorneys working with Tara Reade is Bill Moran, a former employee of Sputnik, the Russian government’s English-language propaganda arm

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.

“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?

that’s your response
to my questions - blow smoke.

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.

Pete F. 05-08-2020 09:27 AM

Tara Reade has a PATTERN of being a disturbed attention searching swindler.

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.

Orangeman bad

The badness is enough. The badness is so bad that it’s all that really matters in our politics right now.

telling a roomful of blacks, that "Republicans want to put y'all back in chains". Was that a good, moral, decent thing to say? Mitt Romney wants to go back to the plantation days?

Go ahead and explain that. Let's just stick to that.

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.

Pete F. 05-08-2020 09:58 AM

Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to let the smallest, most ignorant, venal, racist, drug addicted sexual predator this country has ever produced be POTUS, I’ll never forgive Putin for installing him.

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.

Then maybe Hilary should have lowered herself to set foot in places like Wisconsin. Maybe she shouldn't have said that people who disagree with her are deplorable. Did Russia make her say that? Did Russia prevent her from campaigning in swing states?

That is a false statement. He did not call for the execution of five black children. Post the ad.

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.
