As a Suburban Facebook Empathy Wife Guy, I feel ignored by this new focus. What about US?!?!?

Firstly the primaries are still happening. Democrats don’t have to nominate someone credibly accused of rape. You want Biden politics but who didn’t rape anyone, feel free to pick Mayo Pete. You don’t get to be angry at progressives that the corporate dems united around the wrong one.

The Larry King clip.

I am that person. I’m a terrible gift buyer, so if I know that you like something I’m buying you ALL of it. Help others like me with heavy handed hints that are delivered in advance of Christmas and birthdays.

Having studied the allegations made by Ms Reade, and the extensive supporting evidence, I can no longer vote for Joe Biden. Just as we have a choice between two old white men, now we have a choice between two rapists. Did anybody notice how similar the assault against Ms Reade was to Trump’s assault on E Jean? I never…

I find her work repulsive but obviously other people dig it. And if they want it, then yeah, they should pay for it.

It’s a thirty year old complaint. I don’t know that I’d expect someone to keep any particular personnel record like that (although it’s a good idea to do so!), especially not for 30 years. And she has said there is a complaint, not much more she can do beyond that.

There’s no evidence, huh? Is it 1991 with Anita Hill all over again? Maybe Joe did learn a thing or two! Just not the right lessons. 

Back in the 90s I once commented to my mom that I thought an Anne Geddes picture was cute, which then launched a full decade of my mom buying me Anne Geddes books, coasters, prints, whatever for every gift-giving holiday. So much Anne Geddes!

... and that many of the people she told about the abuse heard only about “sexual harassment’ allegations. Including her brother, who contacted reporters days after confirming allegations to let them know after talking about the past with his sister he now remembers she did tell him about being digitally penetrated…

Ah yes, there isn't any evidence, so definitely do not look for it.

Exactly. Her work appeals to a very specific demographic (I’d say the suburban white Karen/ “live laugh love” demographic) who probably already have her coffee table book and aren’t looking to pay for more of it. Maybe if her work didn’t cost as much as she claims, the Hallmarks and LifeWays of the world would be more…

Of course she wants people to pay for her work. I know on Jez snarks got to snark but y’all have some odd things to be snarky about. 

BidenBros are already calling Chris Hayes a Russian agent for reporting on the story.

But he's soooo electable! (I'm not sure if rape is a pro or con on electability at this point, honestly.)

...wait...what’s that rumbling sound...it’s the apologists coming! Here they come now!

I am so tired. Today has been filled with people insisting that Joe Biden would never disrespect a woman or would never lie and it’s like they all have just collectively agreed to erase his entire personal and political history.

Biden’s strategy for winning the election:

William H. Macy has gone full grizzled. Does he live in a log cabin on the back forty now?

At this point Biden must submit to questioning by the media and the Biden camp must allow independent review of all papers related to Tara Reade’s employment at his office.
