Well, obvious may be overstating, but it offers a very plausible alternative explanation.

yeah, and if this were the conservatives digging up dirt on someone accusing an R, the majority of liberals would start shouting stuff about attacking the victim.

not saying that this scenario isn't plausible, or even the true one, but i think further vetting needs to occur. lots.

Just another thing that won't move the needle for anyone.

i believe there's a small number of ultra left/bernie bros who would come back to biden were this to be reasonably proven false. And remember that 60K is also a small number

Proving a negative is kinda difficult.

Granted it's based on internet opinions but I don't think anything is changing the ultra Bernie Bros/Sanders Sisters minds. The accusation is enough. Tara could recant and they'd assume it coerced.

You may be right. It is so freaking obvious that Reade is a Russian asset, but some will choose to believe her regardless of the evidence of questionable character and her borderline traitorious statements relating to Putin.

Her Twitter feed is certainly evidence of something. Not sure what Occam's Razor would suggest...

Lol we’re turning to the Krassensteins for the rebuttal? Yikes. Wonder what Louise Mensch and Claude Taylor have to say.

I don’t know if Tara Reade’s story is true or not, and she doesn’t seem like a terribly stable person (which doesn’t mean her story is false), but the Russian agent stuff makes no sense. So the GRU or whoever recruits Tara Reade knowing that she worked for Biden and planning to dropping sexual assault allegations against him, then also has her post weird pro-Russian stuff ahead of time to blow her cover?

Also, lol at the “America didn’t intervene in Bolivia, that was Russia!” And the “her tweets are in a Russian accent” bit is pure brainworms stuff.

I think that this can be both a possible reason for her departure from the job and not "undermine her credibility" one whit about charges of sexual assault or harassment. Everyone seems to agree at some point her responsibilities were decreased and then she was asked to move on. These actions stemming from any inappropriate actions by Biden were always a "connect the dots" situation it seemed to me. She could have been dismissed with cause for this or any number of other reasons. If it was for this I guess it might slice the "workplace discrimination" aspect of the charges against Biden a bit, but I don't see that as the crux of what accusers are pointing to. In some ways it might bolster her credibility if people see it as an egregious act by an employee, but Biden's office made sure she had a soft landing in return for keeping things quiet.

Does Biden have any other accusers?

Someone who sexually assaults(especially in a power role)will have done it several times most likely.

He has lots of people who have mentioned"inappropriate" actions, and he's admitted to this. I always get a little lost when people say they believe Reade's accusations whether they're referring to the earlier ones, which are very believable given his past actions and highly dismaying but which I could accept with a queasy feeling. if true. as part of the whole package which still provides a better alternative, and the penetration charges, which are flat out rape and a bridge too far for me.

Are any of those accusations of "inappropriate actions" more than personal space issues?

I am not wishing for anyone to become ill but, given this administration's handling of the crisis, it would truly be the ultimate justice if Trump and Pence got it. I suspect we would never know even if they did.

They were given the vaccine months ago.

“Million to one shot, doc”

Has anybody asked Tara Reade why this story is coming out now and not during the eight years Joe Biden was VP or running for President in 2008?

In the general realm that's not really a fair question. Victims come forward at different times for different reasons.

That's not intended to defend the accusation. I give the sexual abuse version zero credibility.
