Investigate Tara Reade's Sexual Assault Allegations versus Joe Biden
A few days ago, someone posted an essay (one that did not gain much support) that mentioned a change.org petition calling for the MSM to censor live coverage of the White House coronavirus task force briefings. I, for one, was opposed to that concept and kind of half-jokingly added a comment, I bet change.org doesn't have a petition urging an investigation into the rather serious sexual assault allegations against the presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee, Joe Biden, by a former staffer (someone who was an employee on Biden's Senate staff), Tara Reade. Well, it turns out an internet search did turn up such a petition, and here's a direct link for anyone interesting in signing up:

The key issue here for me is the media hypocrisy, as well as the hypocrisy among many in the so-called "Me Too" or "Times Up" movement, as well as most of the mainstream Democratic party establishment, many of whom were falling all over themselves when very similar allegations made against the most recent Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, with one of the oft-repeated arguments there being, "this isn't a court of law" where the standard of proof (reasonable doubt) is a high one, rather it's "a job interview for one of the most important positions in the land." Well, I believe the same holds true here, and would urge everyone's attention. (As of this writing, the petition has well over 1000 supporters.)

I went to your link

Anyone else having the same problem?

The link worked for me.

My bet is that the Media will now cover
I think that now that Bernie has dropped out the medal will cover Tara's rape accusation against Biden to give the DNC a reason for dumping Biden's ass and pivoting someone else into the spot. Maybe they will start talking about his mental health issues too.
Has anyone else seen stories about Bernie talking to Obama this weekend and that is why he dropped out today? I've only seen a few tweets about this, but couldn't verify it.
On the subject of the media not covering Trump I don't think they have a leg to stand on after they lied to us for 3 years about Russia Russia Russia and Trump being Putin's puppet do you?

THANK YOU America's Physicians & Nurses, All Medical Personnel, First Responders, To Include Medical (EMT/Paramedics/Ambulance), Pharmacy Personnel, Fire Depts, Police Depts, Retailers/Grocers--Especially, To Marginally-Paid Frontline Retail Cashiers & Clerks.
Last, but not least,
THANKS to America's Truckers/Delivery Persons, Especially, To Over-The-Road/Long Haul Truckers Who Obviously Have The Capacity To Shut Down The Entire Country, If They Were To Choose To Sit Out The Current Public Health Crisis, In Order To Protect Their Own.
You are all truly heroes.
Godspeed.
FYI
and,
Gotta put an end to this Congressional Perk, if we hope to ever have a decent healthcare program.
IOW, our lawmakers' current excellent OAP healthcare program allows them to be exempt from any austerity/managed care tools that they seek to impose on the masses, as evidenced by several Dem Party MFA/public option proposals.
Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.
Didn't he interfere with the primary last time too?
Seems to me that Obama has done more damage to the election process than Russia could ever dream of doing. He got Pete and Amy to drop out before Super Tuesday and now he has gotten Bernie to drop out before many people have voted. So much for our touted democracy huh? We have overthrown governments for less than that. Love the smell of hypocrisy don't you?

No need, really.
Hill's crew had that well in hand.

Bingo
US politics is like trying to win in a rigged casino, the crooks win every time. The only way to win that kind of a game is to burn the place down.

Happy to sign.
Not that his replacement will be any better. But still...
"This isn't a court of law"?!?
They really made that STUPID-ASS argument as if there's ANY upside to that?!?
I have NO USE for gossip-based judgment. There have been times and places where gossip was a crime, and while the whole "freedom of speech" thing is a pretty big roadblock, I otherwise find the concept pretty damned charming.
Humans who cannot - or worse, will not - think and deliberate rationally do not deserve person status.

Yes Virginia, there is a Global Banking Conspiracy!
And then there's the bit where
Biden himself didn't give a shit about sexual harassment when he was overseeing the appointment of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. But we're supposed to have a blind eye to that, too.
