    1. Biden has not been charged. There was a criminal complaint filed. To have a charge, a prosecutor would have to think he had a snowball's chance of winning in court.

    2. Regarding the VP candidates, again the context is different. It was a question the Senate had a duty to resolve -- is Kavanaugh fit to serve a life appointment on the country's highest court? A credible allegation of rape speaks to his character and the Senate had a responsibility to examine and consider the allegation before making their decision. The presidential race is different because it is the voter that assesses the candidates' character and decides what is acceptable. For those in the Venn diagram of sitting Senator and possible VP pick, they do not having a pressing duty to reach a conclusion on whether Biden is likely to be guilty, and if guilty if it impugns his fitness to serve. They did have that pressing duty with Kavanaugh.

    Your president has definitely made this a hallmark that you apparently support wholeheartedly.

    this is way too much fact for Mojoman to comprehend. In trump world, you can say whatever you want, whether it is accurate or not. Those who live in that world follow lead quite stringently.

    Biden raped someone? That's news to me....

    Did National Enquirer buy and bury that one too?

    edit: According to DOJ finger penetration is rape.

    So what's the ruling for grabbing by the p***y?

    Don’t worry guys, if the DA declines to move forward, trump world will tweetstorm how the whole thing was fixed blah blah blah.

    the great comedy in all this is trump world trying to litigate the issue of character and morality in any public discourse.

    A formal criminal complaint for rape has been filed against Joe Biden and a formal police investigation in Washington DC is currently in process.

    Keep hope alive!

    Video has appeared of Tara Reade's mother appearing on the Larry King show in 1993, apparently referring to the attack of her daughter by Joe Biden.

    Glenn Greenwald: Biden sexual assault accuser Tara Reade ‘isn’t going away’

    Tara Reade's sexual assault allegation against presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden "isn’t going away" now that a video has emerged that appears to show Reade’s mother referring to the alleged attack in 1993, Intercept journalist Glenn Greenwalk said Saturday. “Tara Reade isn’t going away no matter how many times partisan opportunistic hacks ... are sent out to try to smear, demean & discredit her,” he tweeted.

    Reade, a staffer for Biden in 1993 who has claimed he sexually assaulted her, told Fox News on Friday that it was her mother who called into “Larry King Live” in the resurfaced clip and alluded to her daughter’s experience on Capitol Hill.

    Biden’s campaign has adamantly denied the accusation.​

    Partisan opportunistic hacks is right. It is beyond hypocrisy the treatment that the Democrat left gave to Brett Kavanaugh during his Senate hearings, while they say or do pretty much anything to run interference for their presumptive nominee for President Joe Biden, who it seems increasingly likely may have actually perpetrated the acts he is being accused of.

    The difference between the two is of course that the allegations against Kavanaugh were entirely uncorroborated, except to the extent that the people Ford identified as witnesses denied ever participating, seeing or knowing about any such thing. So what was effectively corroborated by them were Kavanaugh's denials. Also, the supposed place and date are still unspecified to this very day, no complaint or charges were ever filed - even though a complaint could still be filed even right now, and there is no record of anyone having knowledge of this from the time of the incident.

    Meanwhile, there is apparently a record of complaint from the time of the incident with regards to Tara Reade's complaint against Joe Biden, and her mother left evidence of that in her interview with Larry King. There is a criminal complaint that has been formally filed with the police in Washington D.C., and the matter is currently under investigation - right now. Also, there is a lot of photo and film evidence of a lot of really creepy and handsy behavior by Joe Biden, which will not look good for him if he were ever to be brought to trial over one of these incidents.

    So the #MeToo movement is all over this, right? Bwahahaha! No way! Joe Biden is the Democrat party standard bearer, and he is the chosen one to "beat Trump". What is more important to the #MeToo, "Believe all women" anti-sexual assault movement? To defend women against being abused sexually by people in positions of high power? Or to get Trump?

    The answer appears to be increasingly obvious. And if #MeToo supporters do not clarify their priorities on this, this misguided decision will almost certainly neuter the credibility of this movement once and for all - And it will have been the Democrats that brought it down by forcing #MeToo supporters to support a candidate who is anathema to everything they supposedly stand for.

    Glen Greenwald is right when he says that "Nobody is going to let the Democratic Party play games with weaponizing sexual assault allegations. Sorry."

    That's not evidence and when I listened to LK we don't know who that is and the person never says who they are talking about or what happened.

    So I see you are going all in on the sexual assault angle.

    Glass houses dude.

    The Democrats have cancelled the New York primary.

    The "Democratic" party indeed. {Sarcasm}

    In case anyone wanted proof of the Democrats willingness to cancel elections and to circumvent or to overrule the "Democratic" electoral process, here it is.

    New York cancels Democratic primary against wishes of Sanders supporters

    New York's Board of Elections canceled the state's June 23 Democratic presidential primary on Monday, deciding that the risk of spreading the coronavirus was greater than holding an election with only one contender, the New York Times reports.

    Why it matters: This makes New York, which had already delayed the contest from April 28 to June 23, the first state to cancel its primary.

    The big picture: The Bernie Sanders campaign and its supporters had lobbied against the decision, despite the fact that Sanders ended his bid and endorsed presumptive nominee Joe Biden earlier this month.
    • Sanders chose to remain on the ballot in New York and other primary states that haven't yet voted in an effort to influence the Democratic Party's platform at the convention. His supporters argue New York's decision undermines party unity.
    • “Suppressing the Sanders vote in New York will again lead to attacks on the Party across the nation and harm the volunteer effort that our group and others are building for Joe Biden,” said Larry Cohen, chair of the Sanders-aligned Our Revolution.
    Just FYI, Joe Biden still does not have the delegates required to win the nomination for the Democrats. There are more primaries and Bernie Sanders has not released his delegates by any means. So, how is it that these delegates will be allocated for the convention? Who makes that determination? Apparently not the voters in New York.

    This party needs to consider changing its name. Are the Democrats really committed to being democratic? It is getting harder to support the argument that they are, especially with remarkably undemocratic moves like this one.

    We are in the middle of a pandemic that has killed well over 50,000 people in the USA and NYC has been the epicenter. We know there will be other waves and outbreaks with the CDC saying we likely haven’t seen the worst yet.

    Bernie Sanders has already endorsed Joe Biden for President.

    This is a big fat nothing burger.

    You can go back to drinking disinfectant.

    A charge or indictment cannot be made against Biden because of the statute of limitations. The complaint will eventually be closed. She could sue Biden, but has already said she won't. It's possible Reade's case will result in another, more recent victim coming forward, but this story is already getting a little long in the tooth with no other complainants. We saw what happened with complaints against Trump snowballing. Reade might really have been assaulted, but it looks like this story is going to end with a whimper.

    Dude, New York already canceled the Republican primary earlier. Several states' Republican parties have decided to not hold primaries for president and just hand it to their presumptive nominee. Biden has no challengers left standing. It's not really any different from the Republican practice at this point.

    Pocahontas is the most popular choice for Joe Biden to pick as his Vice Presidential candidate, according to a CBS poll of Democrat voters. They polled this two different ways and she was the clear leader in both.

    In terms of who should be "considered" for the role, Warren had 71% support, followed by Kamala Harris in second place (59%), followed by Stacey Abrams (50%), and Amy Klobuchar (49%). Gretchen Whitmire came in seventh with 29% in this poll.

    In terms of a straight up vote, Warren was first at 36%, followed again by Harris (19%), Abrams (14%) and Klobuchar (13%).

    Warren is Democratic voters' top choice for Biden VP: poll

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) ranks as Democratic voters’ top choice for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s vice presidential pick, a CBS News poll released Sunday found.

    Seventy-one percent of Democratic voters say Warren should be considered as a running mate, topping the list of potential female picks. Warren was followed by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) at 59 percent, former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams at 50 percent and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) at 49 percent.

    The Massachusetts progressive also earned the top first-choice pick for the position, at 36 percent. Harris followed at 19 percent, ahead of Abrams at 14 percent and Klobuchar at 13 percent.

    Warren won the vote among white Democrats and liberals by big margins. For black Democrats, she is among the top picks, although their votes are distributed between her, Abrams and Harris. The progressive also was one of the top three choices for moderate Democrats, along with Klobuchar and Harris.
    Biden and Warren. Bwahaha. This is too good. I hope he picks her.
