(5,689 posts)Claiming it now has legs. Yeah. Legs the media made sure were growing nice and long by talking about it early and often.

(7,447 posts)this story isn't going to go away. It's going to dominate a lot more than we want it to because it allows the media to play the we are balanced card they are desperate to play.

(9,946 posts)A five-judge panel in Manhattan just ruled that Summer Zervos could go forward with her lawsuit, claiming that Trump groped and kissed her against her will, and defamed her by publicly calling her a liar. This is an active sexual abuse and defamation lawsuit, corporate media should have Zervos and her attorneys on every single time they report on the Reade accusation.
"The 3-to-2 ruling upholds a lower-court decision from a year ago that similarly concluded the president could be sued in state court while in office for actions unrelated to his official duties." Justice Dianne T. Renwick wrote for the majority: The current sitting president attempts to shield himself from consequences for his alleged unofficial misconduct by relying upon the constitutional protection of the presidency. We reject defendant President Trumps argument."

(32,626 posts)Never was, never will be. I don't watch cable news any more, but they have been all in on every GOP slime-script from Al Gore's lock box, Howard Dean's scream, John Kerry's swift boaters, Barack Obama with Reverend Wright, and of course Hillary's emails, and Benghazi, and...whatever. There is no low they will not go...and that's just Presidential campaigns. My God it's their job to join in with every GOP mad-dog attack, and create a perception to excuse anything...including the reasoning for wars.
DURHAM D
(32,596 posts)She referenced a paper trail coming out now and this is not going away.
I think the paper trail is the bad check record in California but Ali made it sound like it was from the Senate papers.
Paint her yellow.
she's talking about the ex husband who said she was dealing with sexual harassment in Biden's office and then some sort of deal was made according to her with the chief of staff.
Of course, that's not actual evidence that happened, it's just evidence she told her husband that's what happened...which is different from what she told other people or is saying now.
DURHAM D
(32,596 posts)Ali referenced 1996 with the ex, not 1993
Tara was probably fired in 1993 because of her bad check charges. The deal she made with Biden's COS was probably that if she left quietly and did not apply for a job in the public sector or with anyone in the legislature they would not put anything negative in her permanent record.
part of the court record with the divorce.
Happy Hoosier
(7,081 posts)Its documentation of a here say claim. There as yet has been no documentation of a complaint or deal. She was kiting checks, so she is not terribly credible as here say witness.
qazplm135
(7,447 posts)simply explaining what it was.
It "corroborates" that she told her husband that someone in the Biden office harassed her. At most, that's all it does.
Demsrule86
(68,352 posts)Secondly, she is a liar...got fired for floating a bad check. Let her take a lie detector test but she won't.

(7,447 posts)and read what I wrote instead firing off assuming ten different things about what I wrote.
Aviation91
(114 posts)Why do they keep this nonsense going??? Now, she is claiming Biden told her he wanted to f*** her when he pushed her up against the wall! I guess now she remembers that lit tidbit! She has inserted herself into this election in order to rip the Democratic Party apart! There is no story! She is so angry that she is not apart of Joe Bidens entourage that she will do and say ANYTHING to get his attention!

(295,927 posts)Maher was taking it seriously. Sigh.. Thank Goodness it's the "dems" shouldn't.. but none who I've heard of aren't really Dems in the first place.
He obviously has studied all the info out there and not trying gaslight like Hayes and Kornacki.
Like DI asked.. "What was said?", flamingdem? Mahalo!
flamingdem
(39,304 posts)buy into that scam. Bill is hit and miss but he hit a bullseye on Tara.
Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)I wish more people would stand up to her. It's sickening how they're willing to compromise the entire #MeToo movement by giving her a platform to discredit the whole movement.

(54,056 posts)This should be mandatory viewing at MSNBC before anyone with a program is allowed to go on air.
Hav
(5,969 posts)I liked it. Liars should be hit hard and their motives questioned.
Green Line
(1,123 posts)Switched to CNN, Im liking it much better.
Has always been better, at least since they ditched Lou Dobbs in their prime-time lineup.
I start with them on Sirius during my morning commuute, try to catch the noon show with John King (The best political reporter in the game, imo), and then back with them at 4:30 with Tapper and Blitzer on my way home. Most nights I'll catch some combination of Cooper and Cuomo. Burnett and Lemon are good too, I just don't usually watch the news during those hours but sometimes I do and they are great. Basically you can turn it on when they start and go all the way through the end of the night and not have to deal with an anchor who's off the rails. Their biggest issue issue is that they still give airtime to some really terrible surrogates, but it is what it is.

(10,035 posts)"A ten point advantage looks good on its face but not so fast. Trump leads among white ma..." It allows MSNBC to kill air-time with heaping piles of garbage.

(41,915 posts)Just burying a story that IS important is wrong, and isnt journalism. Not that MSNBC is really journalism in the straight reportage sense; they have and admit a left leaning bias.
But if shes only given air on Fox and Megyn Kellys interview and in propaganda videos then they control the narrative completely.
And he did an okay job. Nothing new and not emotionally distorted in the way Mika seemed to do.
