Believe women without a hesitation when it is a republican judge
Believe Biden without a hesitation, who evidently had no problems treating women (like Anita Hill) during this period like they were second grade humans and sexual harassment wasn't anything of note, because reasons.

@mrussel1 you still stand by Biden in this and that her accusations could just be about touching her neck?
The former neighbor needs to be deposed. Shhhhhhhhh, it’s a, Tara “has no intention of filing a civil suit,” but she “wants her story told in a fair and objective manner,” a story she’s been “trying to tell since 1993,” or “for the past year,” whisper campaign.
Could I walk into a police station in Stockholm or anywhere else in Sweden and make an allegation of sexual assault that occurred 8, 12 or 27 years ago? File a civil suit?

Why are you avoiding answering my question? Keep deflecting. Need more inconsistencies pointed out?

I don't understand half of the sentences you fill up your posts with. This has been brought up before. Maybe native english speaking people do it better. But please continue with your diction gimmick if it makes you happy.
I take it you still stand by your post.
Thank you.
Thanks for the word salad response and continued avoidance of my question. You a playa?
Kavanaugh is a false equivalency. At the time of his nomination to the Supreme Court he was a relative unknown to most of us. Joe Biden is not. He has been a household name for decades, is a three time presidential candidate and a two term Vice President. He served in the US Senate for years. He has been vetted both by Republican opposition research and Obama's people before they put him on the ticket. Yet...this has never come up.
None of us know what happened, and maybe this is true, but comparing Biden to Kavanaugh and pretending they are the same is a convenient delusion. It will score you points when arguing on the internet, but that has never made anything true.
If this does turn out to be true, "establishment" Democrats should never again be allowed to decide pizza toppings never mind Presidential candidates. Hillary and now this? JFC.
@mrussel1 you still stand by Biden in this and that her accusations could just be about touching her neck?
I said yesterday that this was the strongest corroboration, but it's still not evidence. Second, I don't understand how she respects him if he raped her. I asked you that twice and you haven't helped me square that

Doesn't this make it even less fair to Kavanaugh? The moment he emerges on the national scene, he's accused of an alleged crime from decades ago. That being the FIRST thing many people heard regarding Brett Kavanaugh puts him way behind in the court of public opinion. Biden on the other hand, being a household name for decades, has built up enough good-will with the public that a sexual assault allegation is one of dozens (or maybe hundreds) of things we already know about him. Plus Joe has fans. And you know how defensive fans can be when when one of the people they admire get accused of something like this. Kobe Bryant, Ben Roethlisberger, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen.....they all had their defenders because prior to any allegations, people already liked their basketball playing/football playing/TV show/movies.
I think this Biden thing is very much like the Kavanaugh thing. An alleged incident from decades ago, that only came to light the moment he's about to ascend to the highest position in his profession.
Look at the timing of this event. At this point, Anita Hill had been dragged through the mud. In the coming years the same would happen to Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewinsky and Juanita Broaddrick. That's layered on top of any baseline trauma that comes with being an abuse victim. There was clearly a dark road ahead if you were accusung a "household name" politician of sexual assault or harassment.
This isn't to say that it definitely happened. But if you're one to find yourself puzzled about "why now" there's an obvious answer if it is indeed true. It's a combination of the above and the #MeToo movement forcing people to listen.

Joe Biden spent eight years a heartbeat away from that same spot. He was on the ballot twice. This never came up despite his being plenty close to the highest position in his profession. Biden and Kavanaugh are not the same.

Oh I agree they’re not the same. One was lynched by the media, the other wasn’t even vetted. Not that I really care about Biden or Kavanaugh dealing with accusations. Nor do I care to find out the truth because it’s impossible in both circumstances. But you have to see see the unfair difference in the coverage and response to the allegations, don’t you?
Also, bad defense of Biden by you when you say that he was a heartbeat away from the presidency after I implied Ford accused Kavanagh because he was about to ascend to the highest office. So since Read didn't do that while he was vice-president, that suggests she's not doing it to block his political aspirations. I guess she just feels it's time to tell her story?

Kavanagh had more than one accuser. Also, Kavanagh was up for a lifetime appointment to the most powerful court in the country. I personally think the standards should be higher.
This allegation will go to the people for a vote, so I don't think these situations are the same.

One hasn't been lynched by the media yet. The coverage of this would be much different in a world without COVID, IMO. We'll see where we are in a month. I'm betting the lynching is still to come. (And if he did this, it will be deserved.)
EDIT: You added text to this after I quoted it. Perhaps Reade isn't doing this for political reasons. (Possible.) Perhaps no one advising her is doing so with a political agenda. (Unlikely in 2020.) We don't know, and I'm not going to pretend to. But that this has never come up before remains relevant.

Her mother said "out of respect for" and not "because she respects him".
Or am I wrong?
And I don't feel the need to go some "The T-800 before they turn on the switch that makes him being able to learn human behavior" level and question why and how a sexual assault victim did not behave in the way, you or I find "logical".
My friends teenage sister got sexually assaulted at a party, and decided not to file charges because it would stir things up among their group of friends and she felt she would be responsible for causing a lot of problems for everyone involved -- even with her being a victim. Now tell me - why? A naked Arnold, before entering the bar and getting clothes, boots and a motorcycle would not understand that.
But an Arnold switch to learn how humans work, I reckon would.
Should be noted again that YOU M. Ruseel yourself has said that at this time in history being a woman and being called "nothing but an oral sex machine" or whatever Bloomberg had said to women around him during the late 80s/early 90s -- but was anything out of the ordinary. That is how men were joking, or whatever you defended him with.
Now delve into that culture a bit more, and put yourself in a woman's shoes being in that world. Just look at Anita Hill. Then look at Biden during the Anita Hill hearings. Then back at Anita Hill again.

You're right, it's not the same. It won't even be considered in the November vote. I'd love to see Biden have to sit there like Kavanagh did at his confirmation hearing and answer questions. THEN the situations would be the same.

Ford wasn’t running around the media accusing Kavanaugh while claiming she was seeking a fair process for justice. She was a reluctant witness who, after being “outed” and when compelled to via subpoena, I believe, testified before the senate judiciary committee on live television. Kavanaugh was at the witness table with legal counsel as well as legal counsel asking the accuser questions. Huge difference between the two ways this has thus far played out.
Tara has legal remedies at her disposal and yet refuses to exercise them. Why is that?

One hasn't been lynched by the media yet. The coverage of this would be much different in a world without COVID, IMO. We'll see where we are in a month. I'm betting the lynching is still to come. (And if he did this, it will be deserved.)
He will not be lynched by the media. Sure Fox News will. But the other networks won't even acknowledge the accusations let alone discuss them on air at length. And as for if he did it, there's probably no way of knowing.
We'll see, but I doubt very much that this is true.
I find it shocking that would say that. But then again, like you said, we'll see....

@Halifax2TheMax - you still stand by these posts?
@mrussel1 you still stand by Biden in this and that her accusations could just be about touching her neck?
Believe Biden without a hesitation, who evidently had no problems treating women (like Anita Hill) during this period like they were second grade humans and sexual harassment wasn't anything of note, because reasons.
Could I walk into a police station in Stockholm or anywhere else in Sweden and make an allegation of sexual assault that occurred 8, 12 or 27 years ago? File a civil suit?

I think this Biden thing is very much like the Kavanaugh thing. An alleged incident from decades ago, that only came to light the moment he's about to ascend to the highest position in his profession.

This isn't to say that it definitely happened. But if you're one to find yourself puzzled about "why now" there's an obvious answer if it is indeed true. It's a combination of the above and the #MeToo movement forcing people to listen.
"...I changed by not changing at all..."
Also, bad defense of Biden by you when you say that he was a heartbeat away from the presidency after I implied Ford accused Kavanagh because he was about to ascend to the highest office. So since Read didn't do that while he was vice-president, that suggests she's not doing it to block his political aspirations. I guess she just feels it's time to tell her story?

This allegation will go to the people for a vote, so I don't think these situations are the same.

'on the record'
stop promoting this trash
Or am I wrong?
And I don't feel the need to go some "The T-800 before they turn on the switch that makes him being able to learn human behavior" level and question why and how a sexual assault victim did not behave in the way, you or I find "logical".
My friends teenage sister got sexually assaulted at a party, and decided not to file charges because it would stir things up among their group of friends and she felt she would be responsible for causing a lot of problems for everyone involved -- even with her being a victim. Now tell me - why? A naked Arnold, before entering the bar and getting clothes, boots and a motorcycle would not understand that.
But an Arnold switch to learn how humans work, I reckon would.
Should be noted again that YOU M. Ruseel yourself has said that at this time in history being a woman and being called "nothing but an oral sex machine" or whatever Bloomberg had said to women around him during the late 80s/early 90s -- but was anything out of the ordinary. That is how men were joking, or whatever you defended him with.
Now delve into that culture a bit more, and put yourself in a woman's shoes being in that world. Just look at Anita Hill. Then look at Biden during the Anita Hill hearings. Then back at Anita Hill again.
