I’m sure they will search the National Archives (or have) and I’m sure there’s nothing there (otherwise Biden and his team wouldn’t be this confident). But part of being a “good detective” is leaving no stone turned—and that necessarily includes all of the “stones” in the Delaware archive.

16 in the country? Is this a demand issue? If lesbian bars can’t make it NYC where there should be a steady population to provide demand, where could they make it?

She loves Putin, so my guess is that just like Putin she hopes to cause chaos in the USA, so he can be left alone to do what he wants.

My other thought on this is basically: what is the outcome she’s hoping for? Is she thinking he’ll drop out of the race because of a 30 year old sexual assault accusation that she can’t prove happened?

I was actually skeptical at first because I know there’s one in my city, and it’s not exactly a major city (especially for LGBTQ culture). But in the NBC News article about this study, my city’s is indeed one of the sixteen. Wow.

Really, the only evidence that he could produce to conclusively show that an assault didn’t happen 27 years after the fact would be evidence of an alibi. But Reade claims she can’t remember when in 1993 this happened (maybe spring) or where (somewhere in Capitol Hill, “likely” a Senate office building basement), so…

If this is indeed a ratfuck, getting Joe to go Open Kimono with his files was always the endgame.

Yeah, I am willing to hear more from Tara Reade, but unfortunately when you make an accusation against someone (whether it’s sexual assault or theft or fraud) the onus is on you to provide evidence that it happened. She is saying there should be a paper trail of her complaint, and it sounds to me like Joe Biden is…

... 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…

This is the fishing expedition through Hillary’s email server part II.

I’m not sure that’s what’s being said. He’s saying look in the right place. Complaints go up. Sometimes laterally. You don’t complain about the Senator to the Senator’s own office. You complain about the Senator to what is functionally the Senate bureaucracy.  Which is not stored in Delaware.  Senator Biden’s archives…

As a sidenote, two legitimate questions that have puzzled me and I’m hoping someone more in the know can aid here. First, is it common practice for the senate files to also contain personnel records? Second, if Reade herself stated that she turned over the complaint to the Senate personnel office, then why would be in…

Trump won’t have to win. Enough people are willing to lose. Like all the ‘Bernie bros’ who wouldn’t vote for Hillary because of their “ integrity “ , we will have all the current self righteous voters sitting this one out.

This kind of hits why I thought Biden’s response to the allegations was always going to be a meaningless exercise as what would it truly accomplish. This isn’t meant as a defense as it would be the case if he did or did not do it. And at that point it just ends up reflecting on what believed before that statement as…

It’s probably been a few years since I shopped a department store, unless it was Macy’s to get cotton nightgowns for my aged mother..one yearly trip lasting ten minutes. Mostly I buy consignment or thrift to reduce my footprint and I either do it online or at small thrift shops. I’m not really a normal demographic…

16 in the whole country, wow

I have been a compulsive clothes shopper for years. I curtailed it by subscribing to Le Tote and Stitch Fix. At the new year, I made a resolution to get control of my budget and took a break from subscription services and buy no new clothes for a month. That was in February. Then the pandemic hits, and I’ve bought…

I was thinking about this the other day; with so many people working from home now (and for the forseeable future), apart from leisure wear and assorted comfy clothes, what kind of market do retailers expect to have? I for one have an entire back bedroom of higher-end clothes that I am considering selling simply…

I don’t get how Macy’s still affords to advertise so heavily. They’re going bankrupt. They’re closing stores at an alarming pace. Yet they still buy an absolute shit ton of national ads.
