    He had the option to address and diffuse this while everyone was focused 100% on COVID but his team is taking the gamble on waiting it out.  I can see +/- for both approaches.

    Fox New is running full court press on the Tara accusation.  I don't see any coverage on ABC, NBC, CBS, or CNN (which would be 'no duh' except for the Larry King angle).  But Fox News probably has viewership equal to those other 4 networks combined.

    The Sleepy Woke Joe camp ought to hire a bunch of scantily clad strippers to sit in front of Team Trump Treason's podium and wiggle and jiggle and wink and blow kisses to him. Or Stormy Daniels look-alikes.

    Or just put Trump's 20 or so accusers in the first two rows.

    Everyone needs to watch their tone, please. There is an escalating stream of posts that are NOT discussing politely. Timeouts will have to be enacted in an effort to reverse this trend if you do not do it yourselves. If it happens, it will be by your own words. 
    Thank you for cooperating.

    He's refusing to release his Senate papers? That's ominous. (Yes, I know Trump hasn't released his tax returns, medical records, etc.)

    Exactly....I hate that my attitude is that Biden's assaults are less numerous than Trump's but that is where I am at.

    There is no upside to Biden releasing 4 decades of senate papers.  That would be a huge mistake regardless of this Tara Reade deal.

    Maybe. I'm just kinda surprised they aren't public already. They have been turned over to a university and he has been out of the Senate for 12 years.

    I agree on the Senate papers, but he should sit down for an interview and offer some explanation. Better to get it out of the way sooner than later. Even if it's a softball interview with a handpicked MSNBC interviewer that can help him through the interview and try to ensure he come out looking good.

    It's usually connected to the actual retirement of public life.  Gore still has never released his, to my knowledge.  Romney sealed his before he ran for president.  I don't believe Kerry opened his up either.  While the intention is for historians, it's ripe for misuse by political operatives, obviously.

    My worry is that some Democratic strategist who has been wrong about everything since Al Gore gets in Biden's ear and convinces him that he needs to get in front of this by saying something, by taking responsibility for something, by apologizing for something, and we get a tear-filled interview in which Biden apologizes for "mistakes" in the past but never states what those are, etc, as if that will fix anything. And I worry about this even if he didn't do it, and I remain unconvinced that he did. Hell, Al Franken apologized and ever since has been claiming he didn't do it. 

    This is coming and it will be a disaster.

    "Not being reported?" CNN online today. The Stacy Abrams piece was from CNN's Don Lemon last night.

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/29/politics/joe-biden-tara-reade-new-york-times/index.html

    Splitting hairs? I read the original NYT and WaPo articles and came to the same conclusion. Sexual harassment, made to feel uncomfortable, asked to serve drinks, inappropriate touching? Maybe. Sexual assault? Not likely that it happened for all the reasons I've previously listed.

    I expect Team Trump Treason to remain mum, even if asked, and allow his surrogates to keep hammering away at Sleepy Woke Joe. That's how a whisper campaign is designed to work. The Pakistani news agency report of the after midnight podcast of the original allegation gets picked up by the wire services and the opposition keeps screaming until the lame stream media picks it up and reports on it, as is happening now. All for someone who has "been trying to tell her story since 1993," and has, "no intention of filing a civil suit." Justice, political style.

    This is coming from a self proclaimed propaganda detector on Twitter so you know it is the smoking gun everyone has been after. Alert the press, @lizburgh has cracked the case!! I just realized she has a goal for a new laptop and is only 54% there, I beg of you all to please go help her get this laptop so she can detect all of the propaganda.
