Here we go. The BS campaign has lost their collective shizzle. I wonder if the planning of this is why BS has been missing in action lately? He is leading this effort.

3. Several things to note
Sun Mar 29, 2020, 01:21 AM
Mar 2020


1. Biden has denied the accusation
2. Reade has changed her story from last year
3. Reade said she didn't initially report it because no one witnessed the incident

"the Biden campaign also released a statement from Marianne Baker, an executive assistant to Biden from 1982 to 2000. “In all my years working for Senator Biden, I never once witnessed, or heard of, or received, any reports of inappropriate conduct, period — not from Ms. Reade, not from anyone,” Baker said. “These clearly false allegations are in complete contradiction to both the inner workings of our Senate office and to the man I know and worked so closely with for almost two decades.”

When Flores' at the beginning of the primary campaign came out and revealed the uncomfortable behavior from Biden, Reade said, "he put his hand on my shoulder and ran his finger up my neck”.

Now she changes here story and says she was "digitally raped"

After repeated questions at the time Flores never alleged that Biden had sexually molested her, nor did any of the other women including Reade.

Now Reade, a Sanders supporter, comes out when it is obvious her candidate sanders is losing, and calls Biden a rapist, WHICH HE DENIES

The people on the Sanders campaign are no strangers to lying about their opponents. Look what they did to Hillary. The David Sirotas, Briahna Joy Gray, and Nina Turner.

These are the same people who called Hillary and Obama every foul name in the book.

The fact that Reade was busy getting rid of her past tweets before changing her story sounds similar to what David Sirota was doing, by getting rid of the Hillary hating tweets encouraging people not to vote for Hillary before he joined the sanders campaign.

No I will NOT take this Sanders supporter's word for it, just because she says it. She has already changed her story from a year ago, and removed tweets that didn't reflect well about her before coming out with this

I will not say what I really feel about the Sanders campaign

if it was true. Or when Biden announced. Or before the primaries.

But, no, she doesn't get to invent a whole new story for a Hail Tara pass now.

That would seem like the time. When he was going for a position that would put him one terrible accident away from the presidency.

Now.. now its a "funny" time for it.

“I love Russia with all my heart,” Reade wrote in an article last December on Medium. “President Putin scares the power elite in America because he is a compassionate, caring, visionary leader.”


How to help Sander? Accuse Biden of rape.

How to Help Putin, who loves Trump? Make sure that Trump gets to face Sanders instead of Biden--by accusing Biden of rape.

Right now they’re astroturfing YouTube with vids and the latest target is metoo for not buying the story.

that the same thing was done to Sen. Al Franken and the Democrats in the Senate (I am looking at you, Kirsten) fell for it.
If my memory is correct the lady, whats her name?, was set up by Fox News.

Shummer issued the vote of no support or whatever. Al realized he’d have no support and resigned.

Then Gilli came out with her due process for victims but not for Al.

She might have said words but she did not sign. That’s one reason I love her.
And the reason I didn’t support the ones who signed. That’s why I don't want a primary candidate as VP.

Apr 2020

This is my first visit to the group.
I have no context to understand what this is all about.
Either I missed something important when I read the daily news reports and news releases
Or this story is useful only to the most tuned-in of supporters

I have no opinion, just an observation. Go Joe. 😁
