Adam Schiff... ”I’m not sure what a “very, very strong” death total means, But over 60,000 lives lost is a tragedy almost unmatched in American history. It‘s nothing to be proud of. For grieving families, friends, and communities, this statement from the President is more salt in the wound.” I wasn’t the only one who wondered about trump’s comment. We’ve lost more people than in Vietnam and Korea. I just can’t with this administration. Every single person in it is so clueless.

Can anyone tell me why this allegation towards Joe Biden is coming out now? Not in the primary, or in previous elections?

This is part of an article from The Washington Post today about the mask incident. It is a long article so I just posted the highlights. The article is about a reporter for Voice of America tweeting a copy of a memo outlining expectations of the press prior to the visit at Mayo. The reporter is now in trouble for tweeting about the memo. "A copy of the document obtained by The Washington Post explicitly stated that masks are required for the visit and instructed reporters to wear them. “Please note, the Mayo Clinic is requiring all individuals traveling with the VP wear masks,” the document said. “Please bring one to wear while on the trip.”The directive confirms that Pence’s staff was well aware of the need for masks, raising the possibility that none of his aides alerted him to the requirement or that Pence had intentionally flouted it, perhaps to avoid being photographed in a mask. (Pence himself told reporters after the visit that because he doesn’t have the coronavirus — he is tested frequently — he decided he could “speak to these researchers, these incredible health-care personnel, and look them in the eye and say thank you.”) However, the planning document is marked, “OFF THE RECORD AND FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY.” The off-the-record designation is standard for such logistical memos, indicating reporters are obligated not to publish or report the information. The White House typically keeps planning information confidential to maintain security for official trips." I am so sick of the lies from everyone. I am looking at you, Karen.

Just feels a little fishy to me. Was it mentioned anywhere at all when he was on the ticket with Obama as VP? If not, why not? Hell, he *was* the VP for EIGHT YEARS and it never came up then either? I can kind of understand why some of the women who had accused Trump stayed quiet. He ran with a scary crowd that might actually silence people, but that doesn’t seem to me to be the case with Biden so why wait until now?

The Biden accusation is no more fishy than the Kavanaugh accusation which allegedly happened 36 years ago. Where's the MeToo crowd about this? That's what I find fishy.
edited to add: there is a video Tara Read's mother phoning in to Larry King from 1994 I believe. Granted, she doesn't say who she is or who her daughter is, but numerous people say it's definitely her mother.

He ran with a scary crowd that might actually silence people, but that doesn’t seem to me to be the case with Biden so why wait until now? The thing that bugs me the most is that I have heard a few times on the news saying that the story is collaborated by other people. These are people she told, not anyone that actually has a first hand account or any real idea what happened. I could tell people all around town that I shook hands with Joe Biden, but if he says he didn’t and no one saw it the people I told cannot collaborate my story. I hate doubting anyone, but there have been cases where woman have lied or embellished. I also hate that the Democrats are being held to a higher standard then the Republicans. Two wrongs don’t make a right, but I am not letting an unproven claim change my vote. If Trump can be elected after what we heard on the tape and the allegations against him, Biden should be electable too.

I know there is no point discussing this with you, but her alleged mother’s phone call was based on what her daughter told her. Not on first hand knowledge. I told my mom I spent the night at Kelly’s house when I was 16 when I was actually 3 hours from home with my boyfriend. She could have called a radio show telling them I was at Kelly’s house, but it sure wouldn’t have made it true.

I'll respond to you anyway in a respectful way-I 100% agree with you on what I bolded. I felt the same way about Blasey Ford and Kavanaugh. Did you?
My point is Blasey Ford had an entire movement behind her and her allegations, and Tara Read's allegations have been almost ignored. Those that stood up saying women must be believed then have pushed aside these allegations now. Many have said well, Joe said it didn't happen, so that's good enough for me.

The difference, IMO, is that when Blasey Ford came forward with her accusations, it was when Kavanaugh was first coming into the national spotlight as a potential SCOTUS judge. Biden has already been in the national spotlight for decades. DECADES. Blasey Ford was concerned because now, in this new role, Kavanaugh would be in a position of power for decades to come which would make a much bigger impact than what he did in any of his previous roles. It’s different. If Reade didn’t have a problem with Biden being the VP for eight years (knowing that if anything happened to Obama in all that time he would be president), what difference does it really make if he gets elected president now? I’m sorry, but the fact that Trump got elected in spite of all his many personal and professional failings, including multiple bankruptcies, multiple accusations of sexual assault over multiple decades, the proven fact that he paid off multiple women to keep them from talking about their trysts with him, and the fact that almost all of the Republicans in the Senate and House have lined up behind him to protect his lying, cheating ass for the last 3+ years, YEAH, NO. The Republican’s moral authority ship has sailed. Although it’s disturbing, Trump has opened the door for virtually anybody to get elected.

If people want to ignore Biden's touching and rubbing young girls and justify it and feel good about their choice because Trump's past, that's their choice.

You can’t claim it’s okay for one party to be just fine with putting up someone like him and then go on to be critical of anybody else.

Daniel Dale...
”Seriously, I'd love to be able to do more fact checking of Biden (I've gotten to do some), other Democrats, other Republicans, even media figures. But Trump lies so incessantly that dealing with his lies alone is an overwhelming full-time job for me.”
”I'll do Biden-checking as the campaign unfolds, @andrewhclark. Right now, though, we're in a national crisis in which the president is lying so much that I'm doing like 15-hour days to try to catch up on all the lies that've piled up. So forgive me if I can't do others?”
What a terrible thing to say about the President of the United States. But sadly it’s true.

Kavanaugh lied to the senate under oath about a provable thing. Emails. Emails that still exist and were uncovered during the hearings. He lied under oath. Perjury. The hearing should have ended when the White House emails that Kavanaugh lied about under oath came to light. There are so many people qualified to be on the Supreme Court both conservative and liberal that we do not need people who have so little respect for the law they are supposed to uphold that they Perjure themselves.

Perhaps the MeToo crowd is disillusioned and deflated since nothing mattered when it came to Trump and Kavanaugh?

But you're ok with Trump's claim of how he used to walk in on naked teenage girls in the dressing room when he owned Miss Teen USA? Yeah, fuck off with that.
