62. I want to see Tara Reade's *story* thoroughly discredited.

It's been done, but in perhaps too muted a fashion.

I don't think that Biden or his campaign can do it, not with the way politics work in the US right now. As suggested above, allies not associated with the campaign may need to step up and defend him while firmly repeating the counts against the reliability of her story and its changes over time.

It seems Tara herself may be unwell, and as angry as I am with her, I want her to get some help. At this point she may actually believe her own story, which is really tragic. Given that, and given some people not as well informed will believe her, publicly beating her up in the news, as opposed to her story, is not a good thing to do.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think there is a firm hand on her back shoving her onto the stage. I also think there's some money involved, and not all of it is speaking fees for being interviewed.

The ones I'd love to see personally and thoroughly discredited forever are the people behind her sudden outspoken, ever changing, ever ramped up stories. Somebody is feeding her the new talking points. Is it Putin? Is it Koch money? Betsy DeVos? Someone even closer to trump? Somebody needs to find out who is pushing her. Those are the ratfuckers who really need to bleed.
