re: Quick poll: Do you think Biden did what Tara Reade says he did?

Yes.

Powerful people of all stripes get away with this kind of shite regularly. You don’t even have to be much of a history buff to know this. The #metoo environment that we now live with, which is both justice and bullshite on a case by case basis, has made accusations like this marginally more damning depending on the credibility of both the accuser and the accused. This is where Joe suffers the worst, because he is a known serial groper, often with cameras running, and couples that with being a really shitty liar. Then you throw in the fact that the victim kicked up a sizable stink when it happened, which was promptly ignored, and Gropey Joe has a serious issue on his hands. Pun intended.
