the supermarket clerk who told that LIE about Joe Biden has apologized.

Once, to the manager, who spoke to him today

and once, when he sees me again in the store.

While I don't think he's been changed at all from being a sexist Republican, he was admonished by his manager so he knows the consequences of saying the crap he spouted.

That is all. Fini.

perchance do you mean that lying @ReadeAlexandra (Tara)? She's pleading to Drumpf to contribute to her go fund me page. @realDonaldTrump Please make a donation to http://gofundme.com/f/aid-tara-reade in Biden’s name. #punkaf - she's probably going to make trouble, October surprise?

When you get your "apology".

The manager seemed to be a bit embarrassed himself because the subject was so touchy. It make me wish the manager were a woman who could somehow have an empathy vibe. But maybe she wouldn't or would override it.

I just hope he realizes SOMETHING.

pushback to stop over-the-line political acting out combined with concern for him. Decent and responsible.

That must be something going around Facebook, a Republican told a friend of mine Biden was a pedophile
a couple days ago. They are just throughout everything out hoping something sticks. If Biden picks say Warren it will all out Pocahontis if a black women it will be flat out race from that day on.

and realize Reade changed her story just a little too often and now only fringe websites are pushing that story.

Fools get fooled because they want to get fooled. It's why we call them fools.

I'm so proud of you. I know from reading your deliberations this was not an easy thing for you to do.

However, he will think twice about spewing his crap again. Marginalize them so sane voices can be heard.

Unfortunately people are followers for the most part and have a tendency to follow the loudest voices in the crowd not recognizing they represent the minority view. You helped stop that dead cold. Very important.

and the lies about the Clintons and the Obamas just (in the words of Paul Krugman) became 'what everyone knows'.

Conservatives have been waging a cultural war against our side for 40 years now and fighting back, one interaction at at time, is the only way to reverse it.
