1. I have no idea if her allegations are true or not. Her love of Putin is nauseating

Love him with or without his shirt off. Most American women admire him. Lady, you have marbles for brains.

6. "Most American women admire him."

Care to back that up with anything credible ?

7. Those are her words, not mine. If you read the article linked, those

are words that this lady said.

8. Then, in other words, I can totally dismiss this.

Sorry, if it seemed like I was asking you, tulipsandroses.

2. Tara Reade is all over the place and

directly contradicting herself.

She was attacking Russia and Putin and then in 2018 she couldn't praise him enough.

2017 — Reade repeatedly attacked Putin and Russia on Twitter for election interference and for Russian legislation that legalized domestic violence.

2018 — Reade claims she liked Russia since she left Washington DC (over a decade ago), and praised Putin and Russia over and over again. She also directly praised Putin for his treatment of women in multiple articles.

Reade Called on Biden to be Investigated for Burisma

In 2017, Tara Reade could not praise Joe Biden enough for his politics, and his treatment of women. Then, suddenly in 2019, her tune began to change. Not only did she begin accusing Biden of workplace misconduct and then eventually sexual assault, but she was also pushing Russian/GOP conspiracy theories about Burisma.

And, she called Assange "a hero".

There's quite a lot to process her. Thank you for this, DeltaLitProf

3. I find it hard to take in

Why did she not say anything when he was VP?
To my mind this has Donald Trump's finger in the pie.

4. It's a problematic allegation

And I’ll go in a limb here and say I very much doubt her story. (Just as I doubted the allegations against the SCOTUS justice.)

Unlike many, I believe lots of people lie for political reasons, including about rape. I think it’s from my time as a volunteer family court lawyer. I think 80% of the people there lied, both sides.

But she is entitled to a fair hearing and some due process.

We must be consistent.

5. Numerous obvious contradictions in her story. Most prominent is the fact that she sang Biden's

praises as a supporter of women's rights repeatedly between the time she alleges she was assaulted and when she made her allegations public.

9. There are so many different stories to look at
