Curious why Jeffries suggests "serious investigation" into Tara Reade's allegation against Biden...

... as an early act in his new leadership role? It was painful to read but as I thought about it, not only the stand up thing to do but also smart political timing as right after mid terms and well in advance of 2024 and before the Repugs can say it was their idea. Just worry what the House Republicans in the ascendancy will do with it but that will likely be what it is with or without Jeffries raising the issue. Of course, they will be all about Hunter's whatever and they can't focus on more than Trump farts and one other thing so it will be a challenge for them.

The allegations are almost certainly untrue but why bring up such unflattering characterizations against Joe Biden, even if some republican bigs were behind them?

Is it worth it?

with no good outcome for the effort. A party of good honest and masochistic Charlie Browns ever certain Lucy will hold the football this time though she has always pulled it away out of spite, ill will and because she can.

It's just Fox News reporting.

If he said something recently, please post the link.

Unconscionable character assassination attempt. Sickening. Shouldn't have been allowed to waddle off without being called out on it publicly.

This is just more conspiracy theory bee ess and smears that they are prepping for when the House majority changes.

The Pig is being investigated in numerous cases. It is now obligatory for the christofascists to whip up more in retaliation.

The Pig was impeached twice, the GQP will have to impeach Biden at least three times on whatever they find to whine about.

Investigations, as many as they can muster.

Try to dig up dirt on any family member, like Hunter Biden.

Attack Fauci and stir up shit about other Agency heads. We already have the stink the GOP has raised over the student loan forgiveness and already got it on the SCOTUS docket.
