Link to the Twitter post with video. Her description is accurate. You can see their expressions change. Cooper keeps mostly a poker face, but the guy in the middle goes from a smile to slight confusion to concern.

Why Joe Biden needs to personally address Tara Reade's allegations
I give it a week, max, to gather enough steam, then someone from the top (Pelsoi, Schumer, one of the lady VP runner ups?)will have to address it.

Just FYI, I started a thread about Biden and his sexual assault here: http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...s-metoo-moment

Like... Kamala Harris maybe?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Latest video from the Biden campaign has Jill doing all the talking while Joe just stands there with an odd frown on his face.

Up until today I hadn't seen a single person try to defend Biden against the allegations, as opposed to either supporting them (if a Progressive or a Trumpist), or just ignore them if a Biden supporter.
Here's what I saw someone post:
Any views on the validity of those arguments?"I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

(the arguments are in the replied tweets, one has to scroll down to see them)
Unfortunately, I'm not sure I'm familiar enough with the situation to evaluate the arguments. What I'm most interested in is the "She said she filed a Senate complaint in 1993 - but nobody can find it." What people have tried to find it, and how were they unable to? Was it missing in a place where one would have expected it? Apparently the statement that no one could find it comes from this article:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/12/u...omplaint.html/
(as quoted in the tweet chain, "Ms. Reade, who worked as a staff assistant helping manage the office interns, said she also filed a complaint with the Senate in 1993 about Mr. Biden; she said she did not have a copy of it, and such paperwork has not been located.")
But it has not been located by who? (curse you, passive voice!) Did the article's authors check? Or is this in reference to other people? What exactly did they do?
If there is in fact no proof that it was filed, that could be evidence against her claim but it's hard to evaluate to what extent people looked for it.

I have no doubt now that the DNC will use this to replace Biden. No doubt whatsoever. How they'll do it, I'm not sure, and how they'll sidestep Sanders I'm not sure, but they'll find a way. They might drag their feet for awhile though just to leave no one with the impression that they had somehow pre-planned all this (I'm not saying this was all pre-planned, but that they don't want to give anyone the idea). Who they replace him with I'm also not sure but I'd put my money on Kamala Harris. If you're a betting person, go all in on Biden not getting the nom. You'd make a killing because I believe the Vegas odds are still very much in his favor.

Maybe they will work it all out but do I see them in a deep hole."For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6
