Just saw a headline that Reade said she did not put sexual assault in her complaint!!!!! What is that the 4th version of her story????? Let the paper come out for all to see especially that the Biden staff members she named have not recollection of the incident.....Oh well!!!!!
Well I sure she didn't because at would be an accusation of crime and police would have to be involved.
And after what happen to Monica Lewtnsky and Junita Broadrick there was no way she was going to put herself though it. A great majority of sexual assaults go unreported and if you accuse a Democrat you are on your own.
The country is crashing around him and the child in chief has the time to post his vengeance on another member of the press!!!!! Imagine if he put this much effort in corralling the virus as he does personally attacking anything that walks....A sorry sack of shit that Lil Schitty follows without thinking!!!!!1 Very sad how the mighty have become giant stinking assholes!!!!
She was thrown off The View like a dog, Zero T.V. Personas. Now Wallace is a 3rd rate lapdog for Fake News MSDNC (Concast). Doesn’t have what it takes!” Trump tweeted Saturday.
He was responding to a tweet from conservative author and Fox News host Mark Levin, who criticized Wallace for comments she made accusing the right of trying to “smear” Biden.
“Having once been a member of the Republican party, the right isn’t running an intellectually honest operation to get to the bottom of whether Tara Reade was victimized. The right is running a smear campaign against Joe Biden,” Wallace said during a panel discussion on MSNBC about Biden’s Friday morning interview on the network.
Wallace is a parrot. Instead of addressing what Biden has said and done, she makes it all about 'republicans pouncing'. At least mika asked legitimate questions and called out the dem hypocrisy.
Gee, cramps figured it out.....seems to me that her current claims are......and before they weren't!
I think on the evidence Joe is fucked.
1. Unlike Kavanaugh and Ford, there is no doubt Reade and Biden knew each other. She worked on his senate staff. 2. She told at least four witnesses AT OR AROUND THE TIME OF THE ALLEGE SEXUAL ASSULT that she was assaulted by Biden. And unlike Ford, these witnesses corroborated her story. 3. There is the infamous CNN video of Reade's mother (allegedly) calling into CNN about her daughter's sexual assault. 4. Biden has a pattern of inappropriate behavior towards women and even girls and there is plenty of video to back it up.
The topper is going to be memos, calendars, and other documents backing up her claims in the Biden papers. The way Joe is desperate to keep them hidden you know there is something in there that's extremely damaging.
If Biden was a Republican we wouldn't be having this discussion, he'd be gone. I feel sorry for Reade, there's going to be a massive shit storm from them towards Reade as the try to impugn her character and credibility,

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) backtracked on his plans to slowly reopen the local economy after health officials reported the highest single-day increase in coronavirus cases on Friday and new deaths since the state’s first detected case in March, ABC News reports.
Said Reeves: “Things can change quickly. We have to stay flexible. Today, I was prepared to announce further reopenings. That was the plan and I was excited to get more of our people back to work. This was a large enough change to make me take a step back… and I have come to the conclusion that I must hold on for now.”

Could crisis have been averted?
Regarding a recent letter from Jim Stone titled "Grateful for present leadership":
April 1998: President Clinton created the Strategic National Stockpile. He appointed Kenneth Bernard as the first official on the National Security Council whose sole job was to focus on worldwide health threats.
Nov. 1, 2005: President Bush and CDC came up with a plan called the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza.
December 2014: President Obama warned the U.S. we needed to prepare for upcoming pandemic.
January 2016: The Obama administration gave the Trump administration a playbook written by the National Security Council. It detailed strategies for when and how to obtain PPE and included recommendations on how the government should move quickly to detect and contain potential outbreaks, secure additional funding and possibly invoke the Defense Production Act.
May 2018: Trump administration got rid of the pandemic response team created by Obama.
There's a timline of all the warnings this admininstration all but ignored, from Jan. 7 to Jan. 30. Even the CIA briefed the admininstration that something serious was happening in Wuhan, China.
Both Trump and Xi Jinping screwed up by not getting ahead of the virus. If the Trump administration had acted iin January and February, perhaps the country wouldn't have to be shut down and we wouldn't have more dead from the virus than died in Vietnam.
Mr. Stone, it doesn't matter whom you voted for; what matters is you have the common sense and courage to call them out when they are in the wrong.
It would be good for everybody to familiarize themselves with the facts in Flynn case And if you’ll only be honest with yourself, you’ll see how deep the rot in the Obama administration went. They were going to railroad an American hero and use the power of Government to do it.
An expose of what a great job our Junior Senator did before leaving his gov. office and fucking over the state.....this asshole should be impeached for this and the unemployment disaster he was in charge of!!! Looks to me that rick scott and his policy was the root cause of the flu rat blamed obama for!!!!!
Written warnings of an inevitable viral epidemic had started piling up just before then-Gov. Rick Scott's 2011 decision to slash millions from the only state agency capable of handling an epidemic. So did pleas for money to fix safety issues at labs and hire people who could track diseases.
Elected officials, agency heads and experts responsible for the state's public health system knew an epidemic capable of killing thousands and decimating the state's economy would come.
But Florida didn't fix the problems. It contributed to them:
» Warned during the 2009 swine flu outbreak that the state’s five labs were overwhelmed and needed more trained workers, DOH instead shuttered two labs and allowed two others to repeatedly fall into dangerous disrepair.
» Despite evidence that job cuts to local health departments played a role in the spread of a 2012 tuberculosis epidemic, the state slashed 3,700 local positions. By 2016, counties had so few trained epidemiologists to track outbreaks that the overworked staff could not meet a critical threshold, the ability to effectively investigate more than one disease at a time.
» The health department in 2013 undercut its own infectious disease division, merging it with the environmental health division and cutting 300 jobs from both. The combined department oversees not only disease outbreaks, but public pool inspections and animal bites.
» After trying, and failing, to keep the scope of the 2012 tuberculosis outbreak secret amid aggressive budget cuts and department reorganization, DOH rushed to shutter and sell the state's tuberculosis hospital. It was the only state-operated hospital that safely could have quarantined large numbers of people with COVID-19.
BWAAAAAAAA!!!!! The R gov is a stinking pile of dog shit who is failing at cleaning up the fucking mess left behind by years of R leadership !!!! Suggest you read the whole article that I posted a small piece of .....the story is typical of how short sighted the GOP is except to blame others like you do!!!!!!! The best part.....floriduh reward the thief Scott with 6 years in the senate in spite of the fucking mess he dumped on desantis
The 2909 figure was from the "world health organization"
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Really? We basically stopped supporting and supplying money to WHO and for certain we are not supplying them with any actual numbers! They still show us with about 55,000 deaths (about 10,000 less than everyone else).
I had already planned to post this before I saw 10:25 above. Note: This is not from politicalwire.com
Reopening states will cause 233,000 more people to die from coronavirus, according to Wharton model Yahoo Finance May 3rd 2020 9:10AM
New data from the University of Pennsylvania suggests that relaxing lockdowns across U.S. cities and states could have serious consequences for the country’s battle to contain the coronavirus, which has infected over a million people while killing more than 66,000 people.
According to the Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM), reopening states will result in an additional 233,000 deaths the total projected to die from the virus — even if states don’t reopen at all and with social distancing rules in place. This means that if the states were to reopen, 350,000 people in total would die from coronavirus by the end of June, the study found.
Kent Smetters, the PWBM’s director, said the decision to reopen states is ultimately a “normative judgement that comes down to the statistical value of life.”
He explained: “That’s not a crude way of saying we put a dollar value on life, but it’s the idea that people will take risks all the time for economic reward.”
That figure far surpasses estimates and models that the White House has cited from the University of Washington, which put the death toll at roughly 73,000 by the start of August.
The U.S. economy is reeling as statewide lockdowns have thrown 30 million Americans out of their jobs, and stoked a furious debate about how long the restrictions can remain in place. Some states, like Georgia, are choosing to partially reopen, allowing businesses like restaurants, hair salons, massage parlors, and more to open again.
However, partially reopening would also cause the death toll to rise, the university’s data found. An additional 45,000 lives would be lost, according to Wharton’s Budget Model, bringing the U.S.’s death toll from COVID-19 to 222,000.
However, the policy of reopening states would provide a much needed economic boost, according to the model.
“Almost all net job losses between May 1 and June 30 would be eliminated,” the report found.
Keeping stay at home orders in place would result in a growth contraction of 11.6% year over year, the data found, but opening the states would curb some of that decline somewhat, paring back the downturn to 10.1% year over year.
However, Wharton’s data found that the state lockdowns will result in a more dramatic increase in unemployment, boosting the total of unemployed to nearly 50 million. A partial reopening would partly blunt that impact, but not by much.
In a bright spot for the plan to open states, the PWBM projects that almost all net job losses would be eliminated.
The model aims to quantify the trade-off to the economic benefits of reopening states amid the coronavirus pandemic that has killed nearly 240,000 people worldwide, with some 60,000 deaths in the United States.
The PWBM shows that when it comes to states’ plans to reopen their economies, not all states are created equal. One state’s decision could cause more damage than another.
If Colorado were to fully open, for example, the PWBM projected that by the end of June over 10,000 would die from coronavirus. That’s much higher than neighboring Kansas, where roughly 1,300 would lose their lives to COVID-19 under the same scenario.
And when it comes to economies, if Wisconsin stays closed, GDP would decline by 13%, compared to 10.8% in Maine.
“You may look at some states and say ‘You know what, they’re not ready to reopen yet,’” Smetters said.

The 2020 Pulitzer nominations will be announced tomorrow.
Prediction: all of the nominees got the Russia hoax story all wrong, refused to report on the recent Mike Flynn developments & ignored the Tara Reade story for months. #EnemyOfThePeople
Remember when Obama announced that a virus threat the USA was facing would within a few days be a matter of close to zero cases and deaths -- only to announce two months later that the USA could probably expect more than 70,000 deaths? -- Remember how upset people were with that kind of Obama incompetency and how many people saw in this a silver lining that he would not be reelected?
Oh. Wait. That was not Obama. That was and is Trump. His latest prediction of 70,000 likely deaths is a slight bit higher than zero.

Reopening states will cause 233,000 more people to die from coronavirus, according to Wharton model
thanks pederast.
i'll toss this onto the pile of models that have not only been wrong, they've been spectacularly wrong.
Remember when Obama announced that a virus threat the USA was facing would within a few days be a matter of close to zero cases and deaths -- only to announce two months later that the USA could probably expect more than 70,000 deaths? -- Remember how upset people were with that kind of Obama incompetency and how many people saw in this a silver lining that he would not be reelected?
Oh. Wait.
That was not Obama.
That was and is Trump.
His latest prediction of 70,000 likely deaths is a slight bit higher than zero.
If that model is correct, and I hope it is not, a too speedy reopening might result in 350,000 deaths before the end of June,
How does this model explain the success of those states that didn't shut down at all?
According to this logic, those states should be dealing with 4-5 times as many deaths as other comparable states... but they haven't.
Same can be said for Sweden which should (according to this model) have tens of thousands of deaths (yet they have like 2700).
Sorry Reverend...
But let's stick to the empirical data here, since we have plenty of it.
The time for "models" that ignore the empirical data has come and gone!

I remember when the Swine flu infected 60 million, hospitalized 275,000 and killed upwards of 18,000...
and Obama and his administration allowed the country to move forward with business as usual.
And the virus is killing real people
Considerably less than expected and we know who the vulnerable people are (I happen to be one). It's no mystery.
For them we can do our best to protect them but for the rest there is no reason to not go on living a normal life.
As for me, I'll consider my risk. I have decided a long time ago that hiding in my house in fear was not living.
