If there is a recession (or depression) in Nov, then Trump has no chance of beating Sanders. If the economy recovers Trump will be unstoppable.

Re: Joe Biden accused of sexual assault
Do you think that would be mentally healthy for survivors of sexual assault?DoubtingThomas wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 8:19 pmIt is not necessarily a contradiction. If Biden wins the nomination, the victims of sexual assault will have to pick between one alleged sexual predator and another alleged sexual predator. I think there is a high probability that more women accuse Biden of sexual misconduct before Nov.

Re: Joe Biden accused of sexual assault
Oh I wasn't saying its a contradiction, it just begs the question as to why she would not say this in 2019 but in 2020 after it became clear Bernie wasn't going to beat Biden. I've already read her version on two websites and in neither case has she explained what her reaction was to Biden while he was supposedly fingering her in public. She kept saying what he was doing but never explaining what her reactions were as the event unfolded. I just thought that was odd, but then maybe there is a more detailed version somewhere that I haven't read.

Re: Joe Biden accused of sexual assault
And yet his approval numbers have actually gone up 5% since the coronavirus. No one seems to remember caged children, treason in Helsinki, Puerto Rico being mocked, or any of the other three dozen scandals that would have easily dethroned any other President.DoubtingThomas wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 8:23 pmIf there is a recession (or depression) in Nov, then Trump has no chance of beating Sanders.

Economists have been expecting a recession sometime before 2021 and the best way this could have played out for Democrats is without the coronavirus. The stock market began to plummet dramatically because of the price of crude dropping below $30/barrel. An issue that happened because Trump has always encouraged the Saudis and Russia to produce as much oil as possible, and now they're in a pricing war probably in an attempt to put some of our oil companies out of business. They need crude to be at $35 just to break even.
But if we head into recession now everyone will blame coronavirus and give Trump a pass.

Re: Joe Biden accused of sexual assault
She says she was shocked and surprised at around the 6:00 mark in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmVUQ7i ... e=youtu.beIcarus wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 8:31 pmOh I wasn't saying its a contradiction, it just begs the question as to why she would not say this in 2019 but in 2020 after it became clear Bernie wasn't going to beat Biden.

Re: Joe Biden accused of sexual assault
Yeah, she didn't strike me as very credible.
So it all "happened so fast" that he supposedly threw her up against a wall in public and managed to finger her vagina through her panties before she thought to resist, and then when she resisted we hear he responded two different ways. 1) He held her shoulders in a reassuring manner to tell her "you're OK, everything's fine" while at the same time she said 2) he stuck his finger in her face and said "you're nothing to me."
So... is he schizophrenic too?
And why would he "I thought you liked me man" when she said she was surprised he even knew her name? Just the way she was rambling on as if she were reaching for things to say before she said it. I'd like to ask her, so you'll accuse him of fingering you in public against your will but you're reluctant to disclose he told you that you were nothing to him? Sounds like something out of a bad movie.
The whole argument that she wasn't allowed to tell her story due to pressure from Biden supporters doesn't really hold water when you consider she actually did tell her story a year ago and it was a very different story that amounted to neck rubbing. It would have been the perfect time to drop the complete bombshell. But why would a die-hard Bernie supporter care about pressure from Biden supporters anyway? That's like me saying I'll no longer tell the truth about Trump because it upsets his base.

Re: Joe Biden accused of sexual assault
I think Biden is creepy with how he can't seem to keep his hands to himself. Creeps, however, aren't necessarily rapists. There are a lot of questions I have about this story from Ms. Reade. She didn't give all of the details right away and she waited a long time to make her allegations, why? I wonder how public the area was where Biden allegedly did the deed. She says it was a semi-private area but let's see it. Are there any witnesses that can at least place the two of them in the area at the time of the alleged incident? What did she tell her brother? Mother? Has Biden himself denied these allegations or has it just been his staff?

Re: Joe Biden accused of sexual assault
I heard him deny it in a live interview but he wasn't attacking the woman or calling her a liar. He said he believes all women need to be heard and all women need to have their claims vetted. He went on to say that if he's ever touched anyone in a way to make them feel uncomfortable he'd want to know so he could apologize, but I doubt he'd apologize to Reade since he denies having done what she said.Dr Exiled wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 11:24 pmI think Biden is creepy with how he can't seem to keep his hands to himself.

Re: Joe Biden accused of sexual assault
I'm absolutely disgusted by Icarus' misogynistic and hateful disbelief and skepticism. It's utter trash.

Re: Joe Biden accused of sexual assault
Anyone who says all women should be believed without exception is just promoting bumper sticker slogans. You should only be believed if the evidence supports your claim, and this is true regardless of what kind of sexual organ you have between your legs.
