Who would have taken the nomination from Warren if Biden and Bernie hadn't run?
I'm guessing Buttigieg
I dunno after the performance she put on, I don't think anyone would have had the confidence on her. She couldn't sort out her shit on her policies.Kamala. Pete never had mass appeal. Kamala had intra party support and a higher ceiling of black support.

Its the weirdest fucking thing that this isn't on the newsIt's odd the Biden story isn't even front page on The Hill, considering Rising is their Youtube show.
Even on the Biden page:
Sexual assault incidents often happen in private, between two people, with no witnesses. The point of an investigation is to turn up corroborating evidence by way of other accusers/incidents, evidence of victims confiding in others about it (e.g. Christine Blasey Ford telling her therapist, who had contemporaneous notes for this), other material evidence, and so on.Considering that Biden and Reade were in a room together alone when it occurred, what kind of further clarification would you expect to receive? Additional victims? You're not going to find more corroboration directly because there were no witnesses.
yeah, she is plainly not comfortable talking about healthcare or the economy, which is unfortunate because those happen to be the two issues voters care about most!Kamala's continued inability to message or get out of her own way makes me think she would have flopped regardless.
On what planet is Biden good at talking about these things?yeah, she is plainly not comfortable talking about healthcare or the economy, which is unfortunate because those happen to be the two issues voters care about most!

Which again is not to say that if an investigation doesn't turn up any of these things automatically means the initial allegation is false. But the value of investigating sexual assault claims is to potentially turn up other corroborating evidence for the accusation or entirely other accusations about the same person. As we've seen with Moore, Franken, Kavanaugh, Trump, etc.

NJ just had a 50% jump in cases. Between this and NY our time in PA here is looming. Wish we could see cases tested.
Yeah, I meant that if Biden managed to piddle by, Kamala would have as well.
See no evil, know no evil.There's a guy in the replies saying he's glad he moved to Florida because of this 😬
We had wall to wall coverage anytime Hillary did anything ever and Biden gets accused of rape and radio silence from the press.
Doesn't this map seem wrong? Shouldn't the US have many more pin pricks?

Sure but one of the reasons I believe Reade is, as you imply, this isn't the first time she's talked about this issue; her family says she confided in them not long after it happened.
Right, but Biden raping someone is I think quite a bit more than being too touchy with women. I don't think that touching a woman's shoulders or neck necessarily comports with that person being a rapist toIt's also not the first accusation of Biden behaving inappropriately among female staff. He has a pattern of behavior of not keeping his hands to himself. Everything she said in her interview strikes me as consistent with how Biden comports himself.
Still, I too am waiting to see how many more accusers will come forth after this.
I'm actually not clear on this, because I think some people were conflating the Lucy Flores accusation with this which was confusing me. Had Reade made an earlier separation allegation about Biden, and this is a second incident? Or is it the same allegation being surfaced twice?

And just to be clear, I think Reade's allegation should be believed, heard, and taken seriously. But also further investigated for all the reasons I mentioned in my last post.
Sure sounds like it!Trump.....is saying the press reported that inslee said he wanted the actual Tom Brady to lead?
She came forward last April after Flores and said that she too was touched in a manner that made her feel uncomfortable. She said she didn't feel sexually exploited rather invisible.I'm actually not clear on this, because I think some people were conflating the Lucy Flores accusation with this which was confusing me.

But "burning it down" is the only way they'll get in power while maintaining their holier-than-thou image.We're in a democracy and if your group is only like 20 percent of the voters, then fucking start acting like it, humble yourself and enact better strategy than "burn it down"
Sounds like someone we know.This is kinda off-topic, but I read this key diary entry of Victor Klemperer, a German Jew and philologist who is known for writing "Language of the Third Reich: LTI - Lingua Tertii Imperii". The entry is from 1938 and the highlighted part had me pause for a bit...
That's very likely. Don't forget he had trouble with standard briefings, and that led to simplified versions.Why did it sound like Trump was reading all those names of the world's leaders for the first time? Christ...
Nor if you get fired For Cause. You'd have to pull a Jimmy McGill, basically, and be an obnoxious prick in a way that is not actually against the rules of your workplace so that you get fired for personal reasons.
And who has the time to go through that trouble?
Starting?
What a slick comment.The store I work at apparently ran out of KY
Maybe my customers took the hint and went to go fuck themselves
Unrelated I know but felt worth sharing.
