Joe Biden's political missteps

Bidens Wall Street donors weighing in on his VP pick

Also, Newsweek picked up his sexual assault allegations story. Meanwhile, CNN, MSNBC and other ostensibly 'left' news outlets continue to ignore it to protect his campaign


From that story:

Seems like too much of a possibility that Russia is trying to manufacture more dirt on Biden to not wait for her sworn deposition on this. It is not like they have not been known to have done this exact same kind of thing to prop up Bernie and Trump in 2016.

And Biden doesn't seem to be worried about her telling her story. From the same story you posted:

Biden's campaign team has categorically denied the allegations, which Deputy Campaign Manager and Communications Director Kate Bedingfield called "false."

"Women have a right to tell their story, and reporters have an obligation to rigorously vet those claims," Bedingfield said. "We encourage them to do so, because these accusations are false."

Marianne Baker, who served as executive assistant to then-Senator Biden from 1982 to 2000, also rejected the assertions, saying that in the nearly 20 years she worked with Biden, she had never witnessed, heard or received reports of inappropriate conduct.

"For nearly 20 years, I worked as Senator Biden's executive assistant and supervised dozens of employees who reported to me," she said. "I took very seriously my duties with respect to human resources, following the direction of a Senator whose insistence on a professional workplace was embedded in our culture."

"In all my years working for Senator Biden, I never once witnessed, or heard of, or received, any reports of inappropriate conduct, period—not from Ms. Reade, not from anyone," she said.

"I have absolutely no knowledge or memory of Ms. Reade's accounting of events, which would have left a searing impression on me as a woman professional, and as a manager.

"These clearly false allegations are in complete contradiction to both the inner workings of our Senate office and to the man I know and worked so closely with for almost two decades," Baker said.

That assertion runs contrary to Reade's own account: she says that while Baker may not have been aware of the alleged sexual assault, she was aware of Biden's uncomfortable behavior.

I wonder if the defense of Trump or Kavanaugh would have been the same had any of their accusers ever said anything flattering about Putin

You ignoring where we all said to hear her out, but sworn in like Kavanaugh and Trump's accusers have been huh.

Trump and Putin attacking our democracy with manufactured dirt is a real thing, just look at why Trump was impeached. Now this from a lady who left DC because people were not nice to Russians, and wrote how lovely of a person Putin is?

Sorry, but while it is unfortunately something that millions of women have had happen to them, she needs to be willing to make these allegations while under oath to be taken seriously. It's not like her name is not going to be out there now, if she is for real, she should do it right.

I wonder if Sanders had spent five years building bridges with the people who didn't vote for him in 2016 instead of tearing them down he would have won instead of losing the 2020 primary.

That's basically what the MeToo movement is all about too. Speaking up and giving other victims the support to embolden them to stand up. Kind of screws all the other victims to shy away from speaking up about it.

What lie?

Show me where Bernie lied.
Hey Puss,

You owe us an admission that Bernie lied about what is in the bailout bill that Congress just passed.

@Padawanbater2 inb4 you propagate Sanders lies:

Here it is, Sanders is lying to try to save his campaign. The desperate little do-nothing wasn't even there when Democrats blocked Republicans from handing a 500 billion dollar slush fund to Trump without oversight.


The transcript is incomplete and doesn't contain his lie, Here is what he said:
At 2:09 in the audio, Sanders says this bald faced lie about the stimulus package that passed yesterday:

"I have very little doubt that there will be a massive uh stimulus package within the next month. Given the nature of this crisis, what the Congress did yesterday is a step forward. I would have gone a lot further, I'm disappointed that we put 500 billion uh into corporate welfare without any accountability or transparency but I think given the nature of the healthcare crisis and financial crisis, Congress will be back again"

In the same series of news stories from Morning edition, 3/27, is this:

https://www.npr.org/2020/03/27/822383381/-2-trillion-coronavirus-package-has-built-in-accountability-steps

At 28 seconds in the audio file, this:

(Bill Mack) So, the bill creates the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee, it's made up of Inspectors General from various government agencies who will conduct investigations and audits into these programs. The legislation allocates 20 million dollars for the accountability office and also includes an office for special Inspector General just to focus on that 500 billion dollars that the Treasury Department has in order to uh work with corporations. And finally there is a Congressional Oversight Commission that will be reporting to Congress every 30 days. "

in addition, the bill contains provisions that block corporations that accept bailout money from buying back shares until one year after they've paid it back. Also, those companies will be barred from giving executives bonuses.

So, Bernie, once again, rides Democrat coattails, letting them do the hard work while he stays home. Then after he votes for the package, lies about what is in that package to self-aggrandize.

Bernie should end his campaign now. He's only going to hurt this country's chances of healing.

Folks rape is only important if you write about it by candlelight in a shack while unemployed.

Apparently, rape is only important when a Republican does it under the republican banner.

You can't even buy that kind of consistency

And once again you refuse to acknowledge anything people have said and just stick to pushing the foreign troll propaganda line attacking the Democrats.

And lying at that. Because everyone said she should be heard. Exactly like the people who have told their stories about the Republicans, while under oath.

I don't acknowledge bad faith arguments from bad actors because they're just lies masquerading as arguments. You're a bad faith actor who pushes dishonest lies

It's good you pretend you want to hear her out, but if this were Trump or any other Republican, you would be condemning anyone in your own position and calling them a misogynist because that's what's in the Dem sycophant playbook. You might fool some people with this act, but I've been around the block a few times, I've seen it all before. You're the biggest hypocrite on RIU.

Lying about me is just par for the course with you.

I have done nothing but point to facts over and over again, and you continue to point at Russian propaganda, while ignoring everything else to push the exact lies that Trump needs to be spread to get re-elected.

Your bullshit is exactly why I try to remind people to not believe people like yourself (who lie) about what other people are all about. People can just look at your posts and mine and decide for themselves. Where I use actual published stories by journalists/credible news sources and legal documents to support what I say, you use propaganda websites and edited clips to make yours.

Edit: Oh look who has their posts hidden from public view..... You have zero credibility and are a propaganda troll.

It would only be more appropriate if the Bi-Partisan Senate report wrote the "Left-Troll" portion in green.

What you do is use two separate standards of judgment for people you support and people you oppose

The "journalists/credible news sources" you cite are all proud members of the Democratic establishment. You just cited an article from Jennifer Rubin to try to prove some bullshit point, the same dipshit in charge of the Center for American Progress. That's like some Trump supporter citing Hannity or Limbaugh to try to prove a point.

You're a liar and an idiot if you think people buy what you're selling.
