While I agree that there are a lot of Trump backers who are easily duped, or quick to pass on a meme/email/conspiracy, the same is true of those who are not backers of Trump. Maybe not to the same degree, mind you, but there are many people who feel more comfortable making quick and easy statements that sound important/intelligent. It's much easier to surround yourself with similar minded thoughts, so you don't have to run the risk of finding out you were wrong. And if someone else then tells you that you are wrong, it's difficult to take that new information from outside of your bubble. So people will double down on their belief systems. Everyone can point out examples of the "other side" doing it, and use that as proof their side doesn't. Hell, I kind of did in this very post. Stupid people are just that, stupid people. If people want to take it as a slight against Trump voters, and they're a Trump supporter, that's on them. I hate people falling for stupid shit regardless of their political/religious affiliation.
Defense lawyers look to reopen cases where Tara Reade testified as an expert Reade stated under oath she had an undergraduate degree that her college said she never earned and appears to have exaggerated her role in Joe Biden’s office. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/05/21/tara-reade-biden-expert-testimony-274460 seems pertinent to her claims and her credibility.
I was referring to the false info she put on her resume back in the day, to get the Biden job. Sounds like she lied to get a job. Hell, I’d probably do it if I thought I could get away with it. It’s rough out there. Pretty soon you’re going to have to have a college degree to flip hamburgers. Burgerology or some shit. I feel like colleges now days have a degree for every ridiculous activity you could think of and the knuckleheads of the world are making it a precedent. Bar tending degree....gimme a fucking break. That was a rant.
Two things: 1. Bar tending degree?? is that a thing?? and 2. Am I the only one who, when I see an alert (etc) on here, who instantly goes "wait...what did I say?" Because I'll see that someone quoted me (like @jonnyboy did here) and I'm like "shit...am I in the middle of an argument again?"
understand your rant, problem in her case it may open up for lawsuits and or criminal prosecutions to be set aside. certainly can't be argued she was somehow serving justice. and concerning her testimony, she lied about her qualifications while under oath
Touche, but I meant more about why people will lie on a grand scale. Like, "I have an undergraduate degree from U of P" which isn't terribly difficult to find out. If I'm asked if I enjoy working in groups (I hate that), and I say I do...that's a little less important.
Tara Reade’s lawyer drops her as a client https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/elections-2020/tara-reades-lawyer-drops-her-as-a-client/ar-BB14t7b0
It seems the more this person speaks out, the holes are exposed. Being a witness is all about credibility and it seems this person has lied and/or defrauded several times which lends to little or no credibility. This paragraph is particularly disturbing, Reade testified in at least two court cases that she graduated from Antioch University in Seattle with a bachelor’s degree. The school, however, said she only attended for three quarters and did not graduate. When Reade offered a different explanation on Thursday evening, saying she had a special arrangement with a former chancellor using a different name, university officials told POLITICO that was not true. CNN first reported questions about the inconsistencies in her educational background.
