(6,931 posts)Or was Biden possibly becoming only SECOND from the top slot not good enough?

And she's been talking about her time with Biden for years... in various terms, but never 'rape' until after she became a Putin fan, and it was down to Biden and Sanders.

(32,640 posts)But Russia and the GOP tried to take out HRC after she won the primary, so I'm thinking this is part of their attempt to do the same with Joe.
She only came forward with the new version of her story that included "rape" it was just down to Biden and Sanders.
Weaver also called Donna Brazile when Hillary fainted to offer Bernie as her replacement. I have to wonder if he again biding his time in anticipation of 'a major external event' to take Biden out of the race, either healthwise or in a legal sense (such as this very allegation).

(28,787 posts)i don't read the stories. it's a NON story. it's republican ratfucking and it's disgusting that even one Democrat is falling for it, and sickening that the media is chasing it down.

(26,619 posts)republican ratfucking, they've perfected it. Remember Gary Hart? All a setup, but it was so much fun for the media.. Monkey Business. He would have been a very good president.
And Al Franken.. can't even talk about it.

Tara Reade is a scammer and only helping Trump to destroy the country. There's no way her personal saga, whatever it is, is more important.

(9,350 posts)He is wrong when he says Democrats should not care about this accusation because Joe Biden is running against Donald Trump. If Joe Biden actually did what Tara Reed claims he did, Democrats should care. However, he is right when he points out the holes in Reed's story. The holes in her story should Democrats be brought up every time this story is discussed. Also, Democrats should bring up the fact that Reed is a major Vladimir Putin supporter and just about everyone knows that Putin would rather have Donald Trump as President of the United States than Joe Biden. Democrats should also bring up the fact that her story keeps changing. They should also bring up the fact that Joe Biden has called for all relevant information related to Tara Reed's allegation(s) to be released. So this is not something that should be ignored. It is something that Democrats should examine.
