I don't always agree with Bill Maher, but on the Biden "rape" allegations, he nails it

[ehrnst]

[mchill]

1. Excellent!

[Bengus81]

2. Yup....why NOW?? Hell...why not back in 2008??

Or was Biden possibly becoming only SECOND from the top slot not good enough?

[ehrnst]

3. Or why not back in 2019, when we still had a wide field of choices

and not just between Biden and Sanders?

And she's been talking about her time with Biden for years... in various terms, but never 'rape' until after she became a Putin fan, and it was down to Biden and Sanders.

5. Correction - Democrats made their choice and Bernie was not it.

He is not still running for president and is not an option, no way. Democrats had a chance to nominate Sanders and we passed on him, big time for #46, Biden. We have spoken.

[ehrnst]

6. Absolutely. I meant back before Bernie suspended - when it was just between Biden and Sanders

But Russia and the GOP tried to take out HRC after she won the primary, so I'm thinking this is part of their attempt to do the same with Joe.

She only came forward with the new version of her story that included "rape" it was just down to Biden and Sanders.

Weaver also called Donna Brazile when Hillary fainted to offer Bernie as her replacement. I have to wonder if he again biding his time in anticipation of 'a major external event' to take Biden out of the race, either healthwise or in a legal sense (such as this very allegation).

7. he's right.

i don't read the stories. it's a NON story. it's republican ratfucking and it's disgusting that even one Democrat is falling for it, and sickening that the media is chasing it down.

[mountain grammy]

12. Exactly!

republican ratfucking, they've perfected it. Remember Gary Hart? All a setup, but it was so much fun for the media.. Monkey Business. He would have been a very good president.

And Al Franken.. can't even talk about it.

8. +1

[LymphocyteLover]

9. Yes, I thought he got this exactly right

even though I've had a lot of problems with him lately.

Tara Reade is a scammer and only helping Trump to destroy the country. There's no way her personal saga, whatever it is, is more important.

10. In Some Ways He Is Right In Some Ways He Is Wrong

He is wrong when he says Democrats should not care about this accusation because Joe Biden is running against Donald Trump. If Joe Biden actually did what Tara Reed claims he did, Democrats should care. However, he is right when he points out the holes in Reed's story. The holes in her story should Democrats be brought up every time this story is discussed. Also, Democrats should bring up the fact that Reed is a major Vladimir Putin supporter and just about everyone knows that Putin would rather have Donald Trump as President of the United States than Joe Biden. Democrats should also bring up the fact that her story keeps changing. They should also bring up the fact that Joe Biden has called for all relevant information related to Tara Reed's allegation(s) to be released. So this is not something that should be ignored. It is something that Democrats should examine.

[Major Nikon]

13. That's not what he's saying

He's saying we shouldn't care about this accusation because it lacks credibility. Not because of whom it's directed.

[ehrnst]

15. +1000. (nt)

[Roc2020]

11. he said out loud what everyone is thinking

not that the story mattered. Biden could shoot someone on national tv and he still would beat Trump.

[calimary]

14. K&R!

[treestar]

16. Hits the nail on the head

And the 27 years is in the modern era. Society no longer automatically disbelieves the cases. The Police have units on sexual assault cases.

[crickets]

17. Can't stand him, but he's absolutely right about this and I'm glad he spoke up. nt

[LizBeth]

18. Right. I am not a fan either but saw this a couple days ago and put on FB. Says about exactly

what I feel. Also crotchless underwear to work? Wasn't that on there? I can see so many scenarios play out with her put those on and trotting off to work.
