    So why isn't she just believed? Why isn't Biden grilled? So Pelosi the most powerful woman in American history blew these allegations off and after setting the clear standard of believing women no matter what she now says do a due process? Isn't that embolding sexual predators? Isn't that letting down sexually abused? According to the standard? So now if there is due process does all the previously accused get their record cleaned and freed? And the press is barely covering this. There is more information on Biden that ever on Trump or Kavanaugh. There's more information than was ever on Bill Cosby.

    Yep.

    "Accountable yet electable" is the nail in the coffin of #BelieveWomen.

    Nope.

    As soon as a situation develops that leftists determine could help them in their quest for power, it will come back...

    Maybe. But everyone even women realize the movement was bull crap. They don't care about women.

    Despite the screeching caterwauling of it for a half a decade, metoo was over the minute it began among thoughtful people interested in justice because reasonable, adult Americans almost uniformly believe that accusations of crimes are limited by time for very good reasons with few exceptions, such as past wrong done to children.

    Metoo was based on a paradox, that women are somehow equal adults who are perfectly capable of availing themselves of timely justice, while also widdy iddy babies who must constantly be protected and coddled via discriminatory treatment in the law. Can't have it both ways.

    The Tara Reid issue is just a cherry on top of feminist-LW hypocrisy. But everyone else already knew they were hypocrites.

    ...You're asking if the me too movement is over while you're trying to hold a man accountable for sexual assault allegations. It's not ending, the foot is on the other shoe now and people can't get past partisan identity.

    Do people deserve due process or not? If so then every case previously without it is automatically discredited. If not then all the #metoo need to be all over Biden.

    I have no idea what you're going with this. Can you rephrase?

    Asking someone to rephrase a question because they don’t understand it is being an adult.
    Responding that they should “try and keep up” isn’t.
    Responding that they should not “post on the thread” isn’t.

    Pardon me but if you're expecting consistancy from the leftist mob, you being overly kind.

    I asked you to rephrase what you said. That’s it.

    She has changed her story. The report she claims to have made does not seem to exist. Most the people she claims she told, have no memory of it.

    It is out of character. Biden has a reputation as one who likes to touch ones ones arm or shoulder. To stroke one's hair as talks to them. To offer hugs, perhaps a bit too eagerly. But never have there been sexual assault allegations. Had there been a rash of such allegations, she would have been more believable. When one woman accused Trump of getting too fresh, she was followed by 20 more.

    Same with crybaby Kavanaugh. Once the accusation came out, others came forward, claiming to have witnessed the behavior in question.

    The alleged event occurred twenty seven years ago. I believe I would have a time remembering a report I submitted twenty seven years ago. And, as such, my account of such a report would likely change.

    The senate secretary is refusing to release such a report, if it exists.

    Just like with Kavanaugh, such events are impossible to prove or disapprove.

    Also, note that I did not use a derogatory name for Biden.

    So what about all the cases with no due process?

    I am not sure what you are asking. Such accusations are impossible to prove or disapprove after that much time passes.

    Actually precisely two in the case of Kavanaugh and they were even less believable than the first. And one of those appears to have been second hand because the supposed victim said it never happened.

    I was offended by Kavanaugh. Throughout his hearings he came off as a jerk. A whiny rich kid who thinks he is owed a position.

    If he had come out and said something along the line of when I was young and wild and did some dumb things, but I've learned from my mistake, and grown....

    But he seemed unable to man up. He cried and whined, and I'm sure lied his ass off.

    I can relate to Kavanaugh's story. I too attended a Catholic school and played high school sports. We even played the same positions in football. He talked about going to the school, during the summer break, to lift weights. He talked of wanting to work on his speed. I've always thought that was an odd thing, people lifting weights as a way to increase speed. I was always one of the faster boys on the teams I played, and I rarely lifted weights, thinking that lifting weights made one too bulky for speed, that weight lifting was harmful to one's body. Ever so often someone has accused me of having lifted weights at some point, but I never did. It was just growing up swimming, running, riding my bicycle, and playing just about every sport, that gave me an athletic physique.

    Anyhow, I came of age hanging out with boys who were both athletes and in the Honor Society. I attended a lot of parties where a lot of beer was drunk. I've seen some awful drunken behavior. I've seen boys who look like Kavanaugh get drunk and act as he was alledged to have acted. Get a boy all hyped up on adrenaline, throw down a few beers, all stirred to action with raging hormones, and not a girlfriend in sight.

    "Is #metoo over now that noone cares about Tara Reid?"

    what do you mean, do you mean can rich men go back to abusing women?

    as far as Trump, Kavanaugh, and Biden - I think if any of them did it, they will get away with it

    Everyone is a victim when a falling down drunk young man is flapping his penis about for all to see.

    That is the key to it all. You are sure he lied his ass off. However, just like with Biden, it cannot be proved one way or another.

    Actually there could be proof but the Republican Senate is blocking any information regarding the complaint that she says she filed.

    Why does the Republican leadership fear information getting out?

    Don't bother, it was a rhetorical question, we all know why.

    The house and senate have had long standing rules about releasing such information. Release, that and all such reports might have to be released. They might have to even release information on pay offs using tax payer money. Too many senators and congressman have had trouble keeping their pants zipped.
