54. Very good article on Vox

I'll admit that with the other handsy allegations I had a hard time believing Biden. I felt like the left were being hypocrites. This article is a pretty fair and balanced way of reporting on the Reede situation from a female reporter who does a very good job of saying here's what I found and here's what the problems are with her story and why many media outlets. It seems maybe at one time there may have been an inappropriate comment or maybe a shoulder rub or something. But as someone who was not a big Biden supporter it seems pretty apparent that sexual assault allegations are not true. And the right-wing fuckary really stinks to high heaven.

But let's not be right wing monsters and say awful comments about her physical appearance. That's not what we liberals do. We're better than that. It seems pretty apparent she has had some shitty relationships and no woman deserves to be treated like it sounds like she has been treated by some men in her life. We certainly have the right to call a spade a spade and defend Biden from these allegations but we don't have to stoop to that level. And keep in mind do you think Trump really wants to make a big deal about this allegation?

And any right-winger that you come across be it on social media, family or friends that want to say anything about that my retort will be "I'm sorry aren't you supporting pr*sident pussy grabber" I really wish that Biden's surrogates good respond like that to be honest.
