Biden Accuser’s Lawyer Is Trump Donor With History of Representing Sexual Harassment Accusers shocking

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 , what's not to love shes against Biden and for Putin .. and Republicans only play Fair ....

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.

Agree, she would mop the floor with Trump, but she isn't running. Full stop.

Sleeper pick for VP is Susan Rice though......

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.

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.

I'm sure it will be Biden, unless he deteriorates to the point where he has to step aside. He's fading fast.

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.

I dont know how it ends .. your the one making predictions on the outcome or did you forget

"I dont know how it ends .. your the one making predictions on the outcome or did you forget "

You posted this a few minutes ago: 'What will you say when the story isn't what you've predected'

How do you know my prediction (whatever that was) will be wrong?

You deny this hurts Biden, you deny this makes the left look like hypocrites on this issue? You say so!

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.

'the only story Ronan is willing to tell is that men abuse women."

When did I say anything like that?

Only one part of what you claim can be true
Part A I'm speculating that Reade didn't agree to work with him for the intent of bashing her credibility.
Part B the only story Ronan is willing to tell is that men abuse women."When did I say anything like that?

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?

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....'
