There’s a grab bag this morning. I am ready to move beyond writing the virus, even though it still must be covered, but there are a few things that need more coverage. So here we go. Tara Reade and Joe Biden The story of Tara Reade and Joe Biden is not a story of a woman sexually assaulted by Joe Biden thirty years ago. On the surface, that may seem to be what it is. But it was thirty years ago. The story is of a media that only two years ago used a nearly forty-year-old story with no witnesses to try to destroy a Supreme Court nominee and, after demanding the public “believe all women,” is changing its standards for a Democrat.
Erick, I believe everyone - including You and your Wife deserve to have an opinion without people giving you grief. Shame on those who did/continue to do so because your opinion doesn't match theirs. That is what America is about - Freedom to have our own thoughts and beliefs without being mistreated by others - if not, what good is freedom. You answer to God for your life just like each person answers to God for their life - no different!!! He alone is judge! No ONE has the right to hurt you or your family just because they don't agree with you. If that were the case, then we would all have the right to hurt each other because we are not all going to have the same opinion on every little thing in life. - Just a thought. (I am sorry you had to go through that just because people want to be "petty".)
It's distrust again. Democrat women distrust the Reade supporters and somehow don't see the connection to Ford/Kavanaugh. Personally I feel sad and tired of the whole thing and just wish there were male politicians that were capable of behaving themselves. (Yes, I applauded Mike Pence's rules.)
Can I rest easy with Justin Amash as President? Probably, yeah. I'd want to know more about how he'd handle a crisis like this, though. Really all I know about him is that he supports minimal government intervention.
Thanks for the levelheaded assessment of Amash's impact. Most everyone else is either cheering or blasting him for his decision. I didn't vote for either Trump or the Dem in 2016, and I don't intend to do so this year, either. If Amash is on my PA ballot, I'm likely to vote for him.
Erik, just like in 2016 you continue to disappoint. perhaps your presidential choice should be kept personal and out of your paid subscription column. Trump was not my choice but likewise was compelled to join the train as a never Hillary or any democrat counter measure. 3rd party candidates erode the base.
As to the 2020 election, nothing really has really changed. The media always downplays any criticism of Democrats and always does everything possible to take out Republicans. In terms of Corona virus, Biden and the Democrats and the media allies are arguably worse than Trump in every way. They certainly were against Trump's China and EU travel bans. They certainly were actively encouraging people to ignore Corona risk before the US Corona avalanche hit (Pelosi on Feb 24, de Blasio in early March), they certainly held up aid to businesses/people forced by government laws to stop working, and they want to keep the whole country from working even if large sections of the US have a low rate of Corona infections (not unlike Germany who has already began to end its lock down in phases similar to the recommendation of Trump's task force. On top of that, they wish to replace Trump's pre-Corona economy with a green new deal strategy that is sure to lead to economic devastation. Whatever one thinks of Trump, returning power to the Democrats via Biden is to vote for the diametric opposite of any policy that conservatives support. Similarly, Justin Amash's chance of being President are probably worse than that of Evan McMullin in 2016, and we all know how that ended up.
