I thought she looked very Hadid-like. Is there an injection or twelve for that? 

The Obama campaign took months to vet Biden.

whatever they can do to undermine Biden. It is Jezebel’s jam, they might as well as change their logo to “Trump 2020".

Actually they, err, redid that post. If I’m not mistaken (as myself and other posters pointed out) the Tweet was from a right-winger with his name being the name of the account. It’s no longer there, and as the editorial note says, the post was “updated” the next day with a new Tweet.

Damn. You nailed it. She’s a narcissist. I was thinking of her as a toxic liar but you read her exactly right.

If we were all trying to decide if we want Tara Reade in our personal lives based on what we know about her, most of us would have no problem saying, “Nah. Girl is trouble.” But, because she’s an alleged

Tracy - you will look back at this article one day and be embarrassed by your own classism. Stop talking about people in poverty as if they are equivalent to a 10 year old. 

What is Jezebel up to? Who is operating the Jezebel writers to depict Biden as negatively as possible. While this article passes a degree of merit for a closer examination of how much we want one thing to be true and how much it is or isn’t. The rest DO NOT.

Banning the comment won’t make it not true.

I don’t know why Jezebel is so dedicated to propping this woman up when she has huge credibility problems that have nothing to do with her being poor. False sexual assault allegations are rare but bolstering someone that many diehard MeToo feminists have completely written off for completely legitimate reasons doesn't

This here? Is a REALLY GOOD POINT. The whole “dress for success, here’s your penny, good work!” thing is insulting and out of touch in a way that DC specializes in.

Rinse, repeat. This is 2016 all over again. Anyone who had Bernie Bro friends on Facebook back then (i.e. everyone posting here) knows that the Bros bit even harder on the Hillary conspiracy theories than the right wing did. For the obvious reason: the target of those lies wasn’t people on the right, who were already

/hits Control + F and types “Putin”

yeah, I agree with this read of the situation. Like you could get to the end of this Jezebel piece and feel reasonably sure she grew up dirt poor, even though there’s nothing to really indicate that. Like... she was working for Joe Biden very early on in her career. This isn’t a normal sign of being held back.

I don’t disagree that class is an issue. I don’t disagree that there are no perfect victims. I don’t even disagree that she has lived a hard and sad life.

An awful lot of women grew up poor, didn’t have advantages, were treated poorly by employers, may have been in abusive relationships, and didn’t lie about being sexually assaulted by a US Senator.

Why are we shitbags if we do not believe her? There is a lot...like A LOT of things that make everything she said doubtful at best.

There is definitely a “forest for the trees” issue here.

I’m a former Hill staffer, and this article is making me EXPLODE over the dress code bullshit.

I swear this dead horse will come back to life if I just beat it a couple more times.
