…and get away with it. Those who live in eternal fear are only replacing the Orange Man with the Gray Man.

Tara Reade says Joe Biden once grabbed her privates and demanded sex. Will that change the election in November?
The Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearings were a turning point, when the presumption of innocence was thrown out in favor of a new standard, “credible accusation.” Evidence was replaced by #BelieveAllWomen. Praised by Dems and the media as fierce justice then, it’s Biden’s turn now.
Imagine the same type of proceedings directed at him. Amy Klobuchar repeats her accusation that Kavanaugh, er, Biden, is a drunk, with about as little evidence now as then. Senator Dick Durbin demands Biden demand an FBI investigation into himself. Durbin says of Biden, as he did of Kavanaugh, that if he has nothing to hide then he has nothing to fear, a line often attributed to Joseph Goebbels. Kamala Harris goes in as bad cop, righteously shouting down whatever is said to her by Biden. The truth? You can’t handle the truth.
After that show, imagine a second one where Elizabeth Warren, long-shot Biden VP pick Florida Representative Val Demings, Kirsten Gillibrand, Stacey Abrams, and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer all show up to stand by Biden, not believe Reade, and/or remain silent when asked. Watching people force themselves to support Biden under these conditions is what I imagine the Beach Boys looked like backstage trying to mix Viagra and meth so they could get through “Surfin’ USA” one more time.
To flesh things out, voters could call in to ask those Democratic leaders how the very serious business of #MeToo got turned into just another political tool by the “party of women.” Alyssa Milano, whose take on the Kavanaugh hearings was that she believed all women without the need for due process, could be brought out to explain how now “the notion that this should be disqualifying to Biden in a race against Trump is patently ridiculous. Anybody who claims otherwise is using sexual assault as a political football.”
Well, yes, that is the point. Dems made sexual assault a political football. Problem is now they find themselves on defense for the first time (having successfully ignored in 2016 Bill Clinton’s hands-on approach). One article does what I just don’t have the breath to bother with: pull up exact quotes of what was said about Kavanaugh and his accuser and compare it to what is being said about Biden and Reade. It’d be fun to do the same with the Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearings.
Unveiled is the total hypocrisy of #MeToo and how self-righteous Dems are when these techniques are used by them rather than against them. Meanwhile, more and more women are realizing that Democratic hypocrisy is setting back women’s rights. Harassment and assault are useful and valid only as political weapons, victims only of use to tee up a media storm. The impact on the election will be…
Sorry. I just can’t do it again. It’s the same thing over and over. Isn’t it obvious? Isn’t the false narrative plain? And isn’t it likely that yet again very few people care? The pattern is beyond obvious, the addition of new player Joe Biden the only change. I can’t get away from it. People believe what they want to.
Instead of writing about Tara Reade, I started writing a story on Politico‘s fully debunked claim that Trump was beholden to the Bank of China because of some loan. That one fell apart faster then I could type it up. Same for a story on how the FBI set up Michael Flynn in an obvious perjury trap. Too many believe the Democrats and MSM when they tell us these things. They are all wrong. So why is anyone believing them now? I am tired of being lied to. I am tired of being manipulated in the most obvious ways. After Kavanaugh, the Democrats simply announcing
“Biden didn’t do it” is beyond insulting. I am weary of talking people off of the ledge and even more weary of living among people who are convinced they are going to die freedomless in the dark. I am tired of this:
Trump didn’t really win the election.
The economy will descend into a depression after he’s inaugurated.
There is a pee tape.
Trump is a Russian spy, an asset, Putin’s puppet.
Michael Cohen met with the Russians in Prague.

Michael Avenatti will run for president after changing everything.
Papadopoulos, Manafort, Flynn, Cohen, will flip and bring down Trump.

The Parkland Kids will change everything.
The Covington Kids are racists.
Trump is going to defund the Post Office to block mail-in ballots so he can steal the election.
Trump is going to fire Mueller, Barr, Rosenstein, Mattis, Jared, Ivanka, Pence, Bolton, Fauci.
The stock market’s historic rise doesn’t matter because most Americans don’t own stock.
The stock market’s historic decline will destroy Trump’s reelection chances.
Trump avoids the press and hasn’t held a briefing in a year.
Networks should not air Trump’s open mic night briefings.
Blocking visitors from China is racist and ineffectual.
People will die if my neighbor doesn’t wear a paper mask but lukewarm delivery food is safe.
People in New York City will die if Starbucks opens but it’s okay for the subway to run.
Two million Americans will die of corona.
There are not enough ventilators, we’re all gonna die.
There is not enough PPE, we’re all gonna die.
If we end the lockdown, we’re all gonna die.
Accountability takes a back seat to agenda. The ends justifies the means but never lead to good.
Hypocrisy just means choosing the lesser of two evils. Maybe that’s the best we deserve in a world where “do your research” means Google something and then accept the first headline you agree with.
“Oh, it’s okay, he beats me less than my previous spouse.” Trump’s hidden taxes are bad but Biden’s hidden Senate papers on Tara Reade are acceptable. Ivanka and China? Hold my Tsingtao beer, says Hunter. “You think I’ve got dementia? You should see the other guy!” Never mind Biden mare-nuzzling women’s hair on numerous occasions. Then there’s Anita Hill. Did being Obama’s VP baptize away those sins?
Same thing in the end, just purposed toward what are sold as radically different ends, Gray Man instead of Orange Man. Choose Joe, he harasses women, gets health draft deferments, plagiarized in law school, cheats on his taxes, is corrupt with his kids’ money, but less. It doesn’t matter what happened to Tara Reade any more than it matters what happened with Russia. It wouldn’t matter if Biden sexually harassed someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue.
I once wrote in reference to the lies we told ourselves about success in the Iraq war that if “b.s. was water we’d all have drowned.” Now it appears that Democrats and the MSM have not only learned to adjust to a new environment like some prehistoric amphibian but are politically wallowing in it—at least prior to choking come November.
