Wow... this is really taking victim blaming to the next level! I’m impressed with the Democrats! We can get back to the good old days of tar and feathering inconvenient women and selling them as whores to the Injuns!

The thing is when someone makes a 27 year old accusation that is at base a "she said, he said" particularly after changing her story and demanding that the presumptive Democratic nominee for President step down because of her accusation, it would seem that checking the general credibility of the accuser would be pro forma and hardly tar and feathering.

So you think Kavanaugh is innocent of jumping on the bed with Christine Blasey Ford?

The real reason that Democrats believed Blasey-Ford and NOT Reade is twofold:
1)it was always about power, they don’t actually care if women get raped. If their guy is accused they don’t care at all.
2)Blasey-Ford was born an elite, got an elite degree, teaches at an elite university, went to schools on the East Coast. She was one of theirs, a real somebody who matters.
Reade is just a middle class nobody with no elite degree, no pedigree, and no high powered job with high powered connections to political royalty. She doesn’t matter in their world.
That’s all.

The real reason Republicans even talk about this matter is to show the hypocrisy of the Democrats.
When push comes to shove on whether an accuser is supported, look at the GOfundme $. Christine Blasey Ford collected millions in gofundme money. Tara Reade $660 so far.

I don't know and I don't care. I never thought that even if what Blassey Ford said was true that it was disqualifying. Kavanaugh likes beer and I am sure like just about everybody I know got drunk in high school and did stupid shit.

But a 35 year old accusation where the accuser cannot even name the time and place, whose star and only witness her own best friend, how to be browbeat by lawyers before issuing a statement in support, is grounds for denying somebody a SCOTUS seat.
In Libbyland, the shit is so good you don't need skin to feel.

The thing is that under the Title IX standards Joe promoted for colleges and the #MeToo movement, we have been 'educated' that the first half is proof of both the trauma 'survivors' like Tara suffered and thus the veracity of her claim.
The second half is unabashed victim blaming and thus more trauma.
As far as I am concerned, Joe made his own bed, now sleep in it.
Oh and APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostakovitch, she might be big now (time gets most of us) but was kinda hot 27 years ago.

“Under the name Alexandra McCabe, Tara Reade has for years testified for the prosecution as an expert in domestic violence cases. But a number of California defense attorneys are considering challenging the convictions of their clients amid questions about whether Reade misrepresented her credentials under oath,” Politico reports.
“Reade, the former Joe Biden staffer who recently accused him of sexually assaulting her in 1993, stated she had an undergraduate degree that her college says she never earned and appears to have exaggerated her role in Biden’s office.”
“Six cases involving Reade’s testimony are already under review.”
