The Moment Tara Reader Alleges Joey “Fingers” Biden Forcibly Penetrated Her, Biden’s Senior Advisor Deletes All Her Tweets About Brett Kavanaugh (and Believing All Women)

Tabloid trash. There’s nothing remotely credible about Tara Reader’s allegations. This sort of story is only possible because the distinction between truth and lies has been methodically eroded. There actually is a fundamental difference. Anyone who has respect for their own intelligence and moral standards will do everything in their power to distinguish between the two.

But there is about Christine Blasey Ford’s?

Payback’s a bitch.

This sort of story is possible because that gradual distortion has come about primarily because of the Dem party and their media.

You idiots made “rape” allegations into a political tool, and now you are going to suck it, balls deep.

@Nan G: So then…*hears slow cackling laughter in the distance…*

…they are going to run Emperor Palpatine after all!

How do you know?

From the timing. Biden has had a very long and well-documented public career, with few if any credible indications of sexual impropriety or scandal. Newspapers that thrive on this sort of stuff generally found Biden and his family’s conventional personalities, morality, and behavior deadly dull. The exception, of course, has been the National Enquirer, which has a long history of using scandal mongering as a political tool as much as a source of lowbrow entertainment.

It’s also obvious from the way the stage has recently been set for character assassination. This began by mischaracterizing arguably, if not most likely, harmless behaviors and idiosyncrasies (He touched my shoulder! He smelled my hair! He stood too close and I felt uncomfortable!) to gradually arouse suspicions which could then be built upon. The present story has been rolled out and escalated a bit at a time, with increasingly graphic details gradually added that would have been immediately rejected as slander had they been presented all at once. The attacks on Biden and his family have been presented in a fashion that clearly suggests the methodical, carefully calculated manipulation of public opinion by people who have no regard whatsoever for the distinction between truth and lies.

The predictable response, of course, will be That’s exactly what the mainstream media has done to Trump! Don’t even bother. That isn’t exactly what the mainstream media has done to Trump. Trump really did hire a full-time bagman, now in prison, whose job description involved routine things like paying off porn stars and other offended women. Trump really did wander through the dressing area of teenage beauty contestants. He actually said what he said on an open microphone, and he wasn’t referring to house cats. The main tabloid attacker of Joe Biden really has been documented in court to have been a Trump tool, involved in catch-and-kill contracts to prevent salacious, politically damaging stories about Trump from becoming public knowledge.

@Tony G:

I despise “China Joe” but did the accuser present any evidence that would hold up in court?

According to Democrats, that doesn’t make a damn bit of difference. An accusation has been made (this one actually has a face, but they CAN be totally anonymous) so Joe should drop out. That is an established Democrat rule. Even Greg here supports it (when it serves).

@Greg: Just so you know, I didn’t read your long, blah, blah, blah post. Because it doesn’t matter. Now, remember; this was YOUR RULE when Kavanaugh was accused. Someone has accused Biden. Biden needs to prove his innocence; none of that innocent until proven guilty crap. How old were the accusations against Kavanaugh? You yourself said it didn’t matter; an accusation is a guilty verdict unless the accused can prove they are innocent.

So, Biden is guilty, because he has been accused, and must now drop out. Mind you, that is the LAST thing I want, but those are YOUR rules and I have to wonder why you aren’t steadfastly standing by them.

Oh, and Biden is a corrupt thief, too.

@Greg: I have an opinion on your stated belief that once the accusation has been made, it is the accused’s responsibility to prove innocence. Do you deny you had that position explicitly concerning Kavanaugh? We argued that specifically and you were unwavering. What could possibly be different now?

@Deplorable Me, #13:

I found the stories of Kavanaugh’s drunken frat boy behavior and the witnesses who made them to be far more credible than accusations made by the National Enquirer concerning Joe Biden. One thing can be said with certainty about the allegations against Kavanaugh: somebody lied under oath about what happened. The allegations were supported by multiple witnesses—some of whom were never given an opportunity to submit sworn testimony.

But those allegations were never the basis for my opposition to Kavanaugh’s confirmation. I was—and remain—very wary of Kavanaugh’s publicly stated outlier opinions concerning presidential power, and the right of a president to defy subpoenas. I saw those as part of the developing argument that would effectively place this president—and all subsequent presidents, in any number of presently unforeseen circumstances—above the law.

To my mind, the fact that Trump was allowed to get away with this very bullshit during his subsequent impeachment proceedings fully justifies that concern.

Barr was appointed to head the DoJ for a reason; Mnuchin was appointed head of Treasury for a similar reason; the Kavanaugh appointment can be viewed as part of the same dangerous pattern, though that has yet to be clearly demonstrated. Maybe he’ll eventually surprise me.

@Deplorable Me, #15:

First, the National Enquirer isn’t playing a role here

Of course it is. The National Enquirer has long been the main purveyor of tabloid gossip and rumor concerning the Bidens. The National Enquirer set the stage for the current round of attacks.

No one doubts you wanted more liberals to make liberal, political decisions on the bench instead of following the Constitution. Making up rape accusations is just one of the tactics you slimy liberals utilize.

Opposing Kavanaugh wasn’t a matter of wanting more liberals, but a matter of wanting a Supreme Court free of extremist views. The Constitution does not endorse the concept of a president above the law and protected from checks and balances.

There is, of course, the question of lying under oath. But we’re becoming accustomed to ignoring the fact we’re being constantly lied to. Getting away with public false statements is gradually becoming the equivalent of truthfulness and honesty; not getting caught is becoming the equivalent of doing nothing wrong. Trump is our shining example of all of that. Those who challenge this change are targeted for personal defamation and character assassination.

Trump has nothing to do with using false accusations to try and eliminate political opponents except that he is often the target of them.

If a lie it told often enough it may come to be believed by many people, but it still isn’t the truth. False accusation is a fundamental part—and the single most consistently used part—of Trump’s political modus operandi. That is a demonstrable fact. Just look at what he has done to anyone who has gotten in his way, be they republican or democrat. Putting them through a shredder with a barrage of lies, false accusations, insults, and personal character attacks is the norm.
