Supposedly Biden has his entire archive at the University of Delaware and there could be evidence there of what happened:

It seems like he'd just open up his archives and let his name be cleared. Trying to sweep stuff under the rug just make Biden seem guilty of something. As I've said before, I have no idea if Biden did it or not, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was a rapist and a potential pedophile.

Serioulsly, why are we not running Biden through the wringer in the same way we ran Brett Kavanaugh? It seems like at the very least the should be an official inquiry on the allegations since there's a good chance Biden could be the president in seven months.
 
Is it a rite of passage to molest women if you want to go into politics? :indiff:

"Generational thing". Yeah, sure. Whatever. That doesn't make it okay and all the more reason to not vote for people who, if you told them to act their age, would drop dead.
 
The inference is it's being overlooked because he's a Democrat.
So what's the excuse for people overlooking it with Trump?

... Ah, yes, those aren't the same people.

They're Republicans.

Unfortunately that's the state of party politics in the United States. The media however were/are far less forgiving.

Considering that he holds the highest office in the Western hemisphere, has openly admitted to molesting women and appears to have got clean away with it, I'm having a hard time seeing Republicans as victims.

In addition, the same media seem perfectly willing to report on the allegations against Biden despite the narrative that they're supposedly giving him a free pass.

It's hard to ignore said allegations when he's been caught on camera acting inappropriately. The backlash against Biden has been comparatively light though, because the Democrat establishment knows that this senile, creepy old man is their last chance to stop the other senile, creepy old man from getting a second term. Trump's media coverage has been overwhelmingly negative since he started running for president, and a lot it stems from a 15-year-old of him bragging about his conquests and alleged sexual magnetism, compared to the more muted reaction to those speaking up against Biden or pictures of him touching women inappropriately at his place of work and very recently.

To be honest, neither of them should've got the nomination. You would expect people who can string a proper sentence together to be pushed to the front as a starting point, but here we are.

I'd say a lot more of it stems from his performance as president. Things he's done today. Like I said, he's no more a victim than Biden and I'm not sure that anyone outside of the Trump cult is buying that fiction.

Neither has yet received the nomination, particularly Biden. Nomination is neither set in stone nor inevitable. Biden's cognitive decline may be too advanced to permit a brutal, risky, even agonizing campaign. IMHO, anyone who really cares about Joe and the country as a whole will want him to receive only compassion, the best of care and a protective environment at this stage of his life. He has earned dignity and respect whatever we might think of his politics and sexual mores dating to a bygone era. Let him hold on to that.

I'm not sure I really respect someone who's a rapist though. I don't wish him harm or anything, but I'm not not going to respect Biden at all.
 
I probably should've said "sexual assaulter" instead of rapist, so that's on me. There is a long history of Biden inappropriately touching women who did not want to be touched though, some of it even on camera.

He is a potential rapist though if Tara Reade's accusation is true.

Both sides play such nasty politics against each other that it's really hard to know who to believe. I agree that Biden has a documented creepy history. Accusations certainly would fall in line with that. But is the cause and effect reversed? Are the accusations because of the creepy history (meaning political rivals saw that as a weakness) or do they both stem from his own actions? Figuring out the truth is so difficult, especially in politics.

Biden did enough on camera to cause people to think twice. The rest of it is less clear.
 
Biden's campaign is like an old jalopy with the wheels fallen off laying by the side of the road. It needs to be towed away - real bad.

 
Supreme Court looks likely to reject Trump’s claim to immunity from criminal investigation

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/s...investigation-2020-05-12?mod=newsviewer_click

My favourite bit:


"On the same day Trump’s lawyers were telling the court that the subpoenas would be a distraction that no president can afford, Trump found the time to weigh in on a long string of unrelated issues on Twitter, about Elon Musk reopening Tesla’s California plant in defiance of local authorities, the credit he deserves for governors’ strong approval ratings for their handling of the virus outbreak, the anger Asian Americans feel “at what China has done to our Country,” oil prices, interest rates, his likely opponent in the November election and his critics."
 
Michigan had the right idea to send ballots to every registered voter (why all states don't do this, I don't know). Looks like it hurt Trump's feelings:



I wonder if Trump realizes that it's up to the states to figure this out, not the feds? Oh, what am I walking about, of course, he doesn't realize it.

Apparently it was passed in 2018 that this is completely legal in Michigan and is part of its constitution: https://www.freep.com/story/news/po...ing-michigan-presidential-primary/4590079002/

Doesn't mean he won't try to muscle his way through either way. Perhaps a good strategy to lose voters in Michigan.
 
It remains interesting to see how someone who knows so little about anything can be elected into the most powerful office in the world.
 
I've said this before and I'mma say this again. Expanding voting availability/accessibility for more and more people is a nightmare for Republicans. That's why they fight so vehemently against voting by mail and allowing less franchised groups to vote. If you live in the US, you should be able to vote with ease, regardless of whether you have certain convictions, are not fully a citizen, are a college student, or live an hour or more from your polling station. Republicans have a slight advantage when it comes to the current voting system. It's no secret that the least enfranchised voting demographics happen to vote heavily left-leaning.

I believe Trump even tweeted before his presidency that voting by mail would be "death to the Republican party".

Also, voter fraud isn't as serious of an issue as it is portrayed to be. There were only a few hundred verifiable cases of fraud in the 2016 election, obviously not enough to sway the results. Reactionary media like Fox tries to convince their viewers that voter fraud is a growing, serious threat, and that "illegals" are "infiltrating our elections", when in fact there is no data to support these claims.
