Isn't that entirely reasonable to you, though? That Democrats should slavishly defend Biden while condemning Kavanaugh for exactly the same thing, since they are Proud Democrats who think Biden will Make America Great Again?


Can’t answer the MAGA question as the MAGA people haven’t explain what it means or the process around it.

Should the claim be investigated? Sure. Just as the 14-16 claims against trump.

It’s not going to happen though. The trumpests like it for the political points. Wouldn’t mind it if it did happen through other means. They don’t want an investigation just because of their leader and what it could mean for him.

You have to balkanize substantially more than that. Major states with indefensible borders are just not a good idea to create out of whole cloth.

*shrugs* so you are not happy the dems are doing what the trumpests did for Kav?

It’s not going to happen simply because all the claims ands and pending cases against you hero.

The assault claim will only be investigated and tried by the court of politics. Even the trump party doesn’t want it going forward as to what it opens the door against trump.

Well BS. I disagree. Kav was placed. They like it for political fodder. They will not be doing much on the legal front.

I will say that nobody really cares about the truthfulness of these claims. Just the letter after the accused's name. I'd say it's a sad indictment of our political system, but it's about what we should expect at this point.

Biden won't even get an FBI investigation. If Trump direct the AG to begin one, you'd all complain he was being a dictator.

It's worth noting that while Trump's allies hound Biden for the allegations, Trump himself has taken a more conciliatory tone, which is a strange thing to see. Quoting from Politico here;

“I’ve been falsely accused by people that I’ve never even seen,” Trump told conservative radio host Dan Bongino. “And some of these people, I met them — zero interest, OK? Like zero. So I guess in a way you could say I’m, I’m sticking up for him (Biden).”

Pfffft. Please, an investigation would be good. Besides, Trump could have saved himself an impeachment. :)

It's quite funny to witness all this; this just shows that Democrats don't care about #MeToo, only using it for their own political gain and not giving a shit about the women that accuse.

If they proceed with Biden, they will lose any an all moral high ground and can expect to lose the electorate yet again. Have they not learned from their mistakes?

Well, it wasn't an unreasonable allegation when Trump was launching an unreasonable investigation for blatantly partisan purposes like Trump did in his negotiations with Ukraine. But this is a different situation. For one thing, this is a purely domestic affair and doesn't involve bullying a foreign ally. Furthermore, rape is a different crime: more serious, but also harder to investigate. And finally this is something that many Democrats are concerned about and not just obviously phony scandal made up by Trump and his cronies out of the blue. But I think the investigation would better be treated as a bipartisan cooperation for the good of the country rather than a ploy to take down a political opponent. In fact, I think we need rape investigations against both Biden and Trump.

It's not cherry picking if you link the entire article, let alone eight.

So you actually support dividing the county in half? There have always been two sides against each other. It only got much worse with the internet.

My opinion is that when the south seceded the first time we should've just went "good riddance" and offer all escaping blacks asylum. Nothing good came from shackling ourselves to a sore loser.

Where do they go from here? Unless they're ready to elect some random DNC puppet, I think it's too late to change candidates.
