The Saga Continues, Those Who Demand That Women Who Have Been Sexually Assaulted Should be Heard are Amazingly Silent (2 Viewers)

[Steve R.]

Surprisingly, the issue of supposed sexual assault by Biden and Kavanaugh surfaced in the thread: Coronavirus - are we all doomed? Coincidentally, virtually at the same time, a rash of new stories that have emerged that further document that those who support Biden and who were virulently attempting to smear Kavanaugh with false charges are ignoring, to the point of suppressing, negative news concerning the sexual abuse accusations against Biden.

Democrats’ Dilemma: Endorsing Joe Biden Despite Tara Reade’s Sexual Assault Allegations

Joe Biden is receiving unequivocal support from the same Democratic Party that has had zero-tolerance for Republicans similarly accused of sexual misconduct.

So where are all those women's groups now who rabidly appeared in the streets to slime Kavanaugh with massive willing media coverage behind them to condemn, today's, Biden's alleged sexual assault charges?

PS: if you just happen to be concerned about due process for Biden, Please recall that Sen. Mazie Hirono (D., Hawaii) stated that Kavanagauh was not entitled to due process. Just the mere accusation of guilt, even unsubstantiated was enough to derail the nomination. Therefore the same holds true for Biden.

LOL. But what happens if the voter can't smell the rotting horse carcass at the time the lever is pushed?
We don't need a "dead horse" as President. Periodic reminders, are sometimes necessary.

 

[AccessBlaster]

Keep pointing out the hypocrisy on all sides!

Post #2 invites... nay (or should that be neigh?), screams out for my favorite Woody Allen line, from What's Up Tiger Lilly:

I would call you a sadistic sodomistic necrophile - but that would be beating a dead horse.

Lol, Steve R., I've wondered the same thing. Funny how that works.

Never mind the dozens of allegations against Trump or the creepy stuff he's expressed with his own daughter.

We don't have a good choice or lesser evil between the two party system. They are both horrible people and horrible politicians. Can we finally do away with both parties now?

 

[The_Doc_Man]

In a crazy way, I would be happy to have five or six splinter parties so that no one party would ever again have a majority. That would FORCE the parties to compromise, which was the whole idea of how Congress should have worked. Nobody would get everything they wanted, but everybody would get something good. With the two-party adversarial system currently in place, that ain't gonna happen.

It's not only them. For me, Politician=Corruption.
It's all around the world, no matter which country you live in.
That's why I've never been interested in politic. No matter what people say or want, politicians do what they prefer and where their profits lead them to.

Same people making excuses for Biden also looked the other way for Bill Clinton, Matt Lauer, Harvey Weinstein and now Biden.

A blind man could see the media is complicit.

I understand your point and I accept it. But you're looking one side.
It's exactly the same with Ivanka Trump's email controversy comparing to what Republicans & FOX did for Hilary's emails.

 

[AccessBlaster]

But you're looking one side.

Yes of course you are correct I will admit bias, but will the other side admit kavanaugh was a political hit job?

In-fact I would wager the Democrat party will steer clear of accusing Trump of any sexual misconduct from this point forward. They are desperate for this story to die.

 

[deletedT]

but will the other side admit kavanaugh was a political hit job?

I don't want to start another religious branch here. But it's the difference between eye for eye and Turning the other Cheek.
Let's not do something wrong because they do the same.

Edit: I'm sure President Trump will be elected for the next round too. So there's no need being anxious about the effect of what media is trying to gain in the next election.

Anxious? Personally I think the country in some ways would be better off if he did not seek re-election. If the Dem's had a better than average candidate I would give that person a good look and possible vote for him / her. I have voted for Dems in the past. Jimmy Cater was one of my regrets ha ha.

 

[The_Doc_Man]

I'm not 100% certain of Trump's re-election. However, I would say the odds are favorable.

I would. Not that I want it, but once you disabuse yourself from the belief the voting process is what puts a president in the office, things start to make sense.

 

[AccessBlaster]

I didn't start out this way I was a dyed in the wool dem like a lot of the other peeps on here. I choose to move to the true center, independent..haha

By that logic we could also have Biden. Unless this time it will be CHINA CHINA CHINA and not Russia Russia Russia.

True enough, and no argument from me. I wasn't a Trump person, although there are things he's done that I think are good. My main complaint about him, other than his creepiness about women, which you'll find on both sides of the aisle, is his "loose cannon" approach with his social media. I wish he would watch what he says more, and not fly off the handle.

But the topic of the thread was the media silence on the same types of allegations against Biden, and how biased and disparate the reporting is between the same types of allegations made against Republicans, such as Trump or Kavanaugh. Or even, in some cases, covered up/cleansed. That is something that is absolutely a problem here, and it's obvious. By all means, report what needs to be reported, but do it equally, regardless of political party.

 

[AccessBlaster]

And let the chips fall where they may! Agreed.
