    It only ends when someone is content not getting the last word.

    Some in here can't handle that.

    How do you think he can testify under oath? There is no legal proceeding here.

    I've said this before, but there is a ton of investigating going on. It's simply not correct to say the issue is being swept under the rug.

    In this scenario you have no cellmate, and the prison holds 350 million people so the guards are overworked, and they don't really give a shit if you starve or not.

    Too late........but I HAVE underestimated
    your reading comprehension skills. Seems like you (amongst others) are always spoiling for a fight with anyone who doesn’t agree with you 100%. Sounds like a certain guy in the White House. In debates there are always at least two sides, not one. That’s why it’s called a “debate”. Sorry.

    Nothing wrong with my reading comprehension skills, also no need for the definition of a "debate" and a debate is all it was till you decided make it personal...that's on you.

    You're correct, of course, that there's no legal proceeding involved unless Ms. Reade were to file a civil complaint. I doubt that's going to happen, although she did state that she would testify under oath and that's the reason I used that term. I would think that there would be a way that the DNC could conduct an investigation, with an ultimate decision by the DNC as to whether the accusation has sufficient merit as to disqualify Biden as a candidate under the Party's adopted rules. Each presidential candidate is required to "affirm" that they meet the following qualifications:

    VI. Presidential Candidates The term “presidential candidate” herein shall mean any person who, as determined by the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee, has accrued delegates in the nominating process and plans to seek the nomination, has established substantial support for their nomination as the Democratic candidate for the Office of the President of the United States, is a bona fide Democrat whose record of public service, accomplishment, public writings and/or public statements affirmatively demonstrates that the candidate is faithful to the interests, welfare and success of the Democratic Party of the United States, and will participate in the Convention in good faith. At the time a presidential candidate announces their candidacy publicly, they must publicly affirm that they are a Democrat. Each candidate pursuing the Democratic nomination shall affirm, in writing, to the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee that they: A. are a member of the Democratic Party; B. will accept the Democratic nomination; and C. will run and serve as a member of the Democratic Party.

    The bolded part would be the area of consideration.

    But I don't think that there's any historical precedent for such a thing happening, so it would have to be very strong evidence of sexual assault.

    As far as what investigation is being done by the press, I think this article by Rolling Stone summarizes what we know so far:

    https://www.rollingstone.com/politi...ra-reade-allegations-denials-evidence-993072/

    And her interview with Megyn Kelly:



    Maybe there's no way to really get to the bottom of this, but I hope that it's going to get more attention leading up to the Convention.

    I hardly even interact with him anymore, but to single out just us 3 is bullshit. I'm sorry to hear about your brother and hope he is ok. I'm dealing with a small d dog that fell down a second story flight of stairs and was essentially paralyzed for 2 days and now can semi stand and walk a little bit. You have posters all over the forum doing shit as ob has attacked me unprovoked several times and have seen him do it to yank as well. Then we have hobbes who essentially mocks pretty much any post i make with his standard popcorn and laugh emoticons. That sure does encourage better discussions right? So, point the finger at all the rest as well.

    Don't you dare even jokingly compare that ass clown to one of the greatest bands in the history of music.
