It’s an Op, Bo.
Student body right.

That's why i'd have Biden just shut it down.
Didn't happen, 27 year old allegation just being made, not gonna respond to something like this.  Also, it's a distraction form the failures of Trump and the danger he's put us in.  Need to focus on fixing the country and Making America Normal Again.

Have to say Tara Reade's obesity and choice of outfits when she made her allegations didn't exactly inspire confidence that her life was going well.

Seems she's used multiple aliases over the past few years and left a trail of unpaid bills, sob stories and landlords who felt they were manipulated.  On the bright side she owns a horse and loves animals.

And just because her life is sort of in shambles doesn't mean something couldn't have happened in the early 90's.  But it does go to possible motivation for coming forward now, and she seems to have a 5 year pattern of deceit.

Two weeks ago...

“This never happened,” said Biden, who also insisted that women like Reade deserve to be treated with respect. Speaking on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” he repeated himself: “It was 27 years ago, this never happened, and when she first made the claim, we made it clear that it never happened, and that’s as simple as that.”

More undermining - of the rule of law, again.

Pompeo is an end times evangelical who wants to speed our path to the Apocalypse - how can he do that with a pesky IG trying to undermine him?

No quarter and no shelter for trump or his supporters. Peace and civilization are at stake on these shores. The enemy is loud, ugly, and hard to miss.

There are some filing cabinets of evidence against Pompeo as well.

If you are looking for major crimes, go where trump has fired the IG. That’s how he marks the mother lodes.

How well organized community health networks do a good job even without piles of money.  It's called planning ahead and cooperation -  concepts apparently alien to this "administration." 

  Way to go,  shitholes!

What's really underscoring the political stench is that Linick was a true nonpartisan,  who had reported critically on Hillary Clinton private server emails,  too.

To Trump, a "non-partisan" is an ardently partisan anti-Trumpist.

Folks -

I very much am appreciating these links. I might have found some of them, but I surely would not have seen them all or on as timely a basis.

I apologize for not commenting on each of them, as I think they tend to merit conversation. But I also feel that we have managed to have a greater degree of engagement on some of the meat, of late.
