The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

This whole episode is so predictable. The left is going to start caring about these accusations the moment they figure out a way to replace Biden with someone other than Bernie, and not a second before. Watch how sanctimonious they become the instant they figure out a plan for that.
I have seen many of the jazz fans people on the left who care about it already
I know that doesn't fit your narrative though so you choose not to see those posts I'm sure.

I don’t think he’s referring to people here. He’s talking about the talking heads and the base. The only establishment folk who have addressed it are those who have downplayed it or called it into question. If they find another nominee, only then can Biden become the sacrificial goat to which they may boast how woke they are.

My theory is that the longer this goes ignored, the more people say “hey, this really must have serious credibility issues and that’s why the media never picked it up.” Major media ignoring it will be the reinforcement needed to... I’d say dismiss it but it’s not going to be dismissed as much as it is ignored.
 
You have a valid point. I'm wondering why this is getting almost no coverage.

Probably because her story has changed from what it was just a year ago. She has little credibility.

https://www.theunion.com/news/local...d-her-while-working-in-his-u-s-senate-office/

Reade said Biden’s senior staff protected the senator. She was considered a distraction. Reade said she didn’t consider the acts toward her sexualization. She instead compared her experience to being a lamp.

“It’s pretty. Set it over there,” she said. “Then when it’s too bright, you throw it away.”


Now she claims she was penetrated digitally. Which seems extremely sexual to me.

So which is it? Will her story change again in a month?
 
Salon has a very good article about this. Sorry no link atm.

Agreed.

She now claims that she considered telling the "full story", but the way the reporter (from the article I linked earlier) asked the questions had "shut her down." I don't really know what that means, but it feels like a weak excuse to me, especially when she said the contact was non-sexual. Unless the reporter just straight made that part up or really really pressured her to say that, which I doubt.

Here's where I disagree with the Salon author though:

But taken along with the other discrepancies in Reade's accounts — which are also, on their own, not reasons to discredit her — it's enough to make publications take a slow and careful approach to amplifying this story.

Discrepancies in her accounts is actually a completely valid reason to discredit her.
 
Agreed.

Those are all valid points. However, how much is their perceived validity affected by the characters involved? For instance, if Bernie were still looking like the front runner, would we be asking these questions as much before we started seeing the headlines? I don’t mean that to you specifically, but regarding the general approach that’s been taken to it. Would a story like this be able to sit on the shelves for its first 10 days?

His words said "the left will start caring when..."
Maybe he should have said the left media or something of course right now all media only focuses on the virus.

The actual truth is that the actual left does already care about this. Just cause the media is focusing on the virus doesn't mean the left doesn't care about the Biden accusations.
Don't get it twisted.

It's a waste of time.

Trumps biggest problem might be that anytime anyone says anything to him or he hears anything about him his first thought seems to be: are they praising me, or criticizing me? Then he reacts the way he reacts after he first answers that question.

At least that's how it appears. He is way too concerned with himself.
If he gets praise he loves it and takes it all for himself when it would be much better for him to accept praise with Grace and spread the praise to others involved around him.

When he gets criticism he goes into attack mode or deflect mode when he should just take the criticism with dignity and try to take some responsibility.

Basically he is a child

Again, the treatment of Al Franken says otherwise.

He's the lefts presidential candidate and people will vote for him come November. In my eyes if the left really cared he wouldn't be in the position he's in.

The guy had the economy booming, record unemployment, 60% of the country doing better, signed prison reform, signed the allocation of money to black colleges and signed an executive order against human trafficking, went to war with Mexican cartels and not a positive word from hardly any body on the left. Absolutely none here

Trump is fighting a class of people who will stoop to any level to hate him. But of course he should be nice and greatful to people who hate him around every corner.
