Everything crashes and burns. It notched some wins along the way. It’s crazy how much of an open secret the Weinstein stuff was for so many years (I was privy to a lot of it myself) before Farrow went after him.

In regards to the Biden stuff, I’m not sure anyone on either side is being completely honest about their motivations.

Re: Random Political Comments
It’s pretty clear how much they want the Biden allegations to be true. None of this is about Tara Reade.

Re: Random Political Comments
Of what I’ve seen the people don’t think the one allegation is credible and very much against the rest of the evidence. The opposite of Trump and the 20+ allegations and corroborated infidelity and the statements captured. With Biden there’s a long career in public view and vetting for VP, plus a long history of public service and the allegation really didn’t stack up that well.Jigsaw wrote:Sure, but it seems awfully selective of them to be okay with allegations against Biden but be so appalled when Republicans do it.

One key difference is the transparency with which Biden approached the allegation, opening up records of complaints made. Trump hasn’t done anything like that.

Re: Random Political Comments
I personally have no idea if it's true or not. I do find it compelling, though.

Re: Random Political Comments
I’ve seen a lot of far left media driving this train without ever acknowledging some potential credibility issues from Reade. It’s full speed ahead, no brakes, we need to lock up Biden today. I’ve been following the narratives from all three media contingents because of what a powder keg this is and I’ve come to the conclusion that nobody is really being honest about what they’re trying to accomplish here. And I’m not demonizing any side here, there’s a lot at stake and everyone has power on their minds, unfortunately a serious allegation has become a pile of political poker chips for everyone to fight over which isn’t right.Jigsaw wrote:I personally have no idea if it's true or not.

Re: Random Political Comments
And don’t get me wrong, it’s a lot of mainstream, center-left journalists who have used their platform to belittle Tara Reade and they’ve conducted themselves in a way that I find pretty reprehensible. Everyone is just passionately supporting their side and there’s not much genuine concern about the crime in question. Not much humanity going on here.
