Joe Biden accused of rape

[A Black Falcon]

While it is possible that this charge is true (after all, Biden certainly has a history of being creepy, though not doing anything like this claim says), there is probably a reason that only the far-left and far-right internet (and really, it's mostly just the far left, not the right) are talking about it and not anyone in the mainstream media -- there are a LOT of problems with this allegation and the woman making the charge.

So, in 1993, this woman was working for Biden and says that incident occurred. What is believable about the charge is the words she says he said -- it is very clearly in language Biden uses, the way he speaks.

What makes it hard to believe is a lot of other things about it. So, the woman who made the charge first brought up something like this 11 months ago, when several other women talked about the ways Biden had been creepy to them. I'm sure those other women are telling the truth, he's on camera smelling peoples' hair, getting way too close, etc, on numerous occasions. This woman, again, first brought this up 11 months ago, but without the additional details that make it so different from the other ones. At the time, people questioned her charge more so than the other ones because she's got no evidence for it beyond her word and her word is highly questionable -- she's written some articles effusively praising Vladimir Putin. So, since this Putin fan now is accusing the primary opponent of Putin's underling Trump of a serious charge, naturally people said 'wait, is this just a Russian operation?'. Or maybe there is something else about the charge or her credibility that the mainstream media questions. Regardless, so far no mainstream media source, not even Fox News, has run the story, and there is probably good reason for that.

So, she wanted to get the story out anyway, and how did she do so? With The Intercept and people like Shaun King. With every legitimate news source refusing to help you out, she had to go to some highly unreliable news sources instead. And that's where it still is at this point.

And now there is even more reason to wonder about that, because of her timing. See, she claims to want to help Bernie here and mentioned him in the tweets announcing this, but that doesn't hold up -- it is too late for that, Bernie has lost. Sure, he refuses to admit defeat and is, just like in 2016, obnoxiously holding on and damaging our candidate for no reason other than his ego, but he has lost. So, releasing this charge now does nothing to stop Biden from winning the primary. If she'd said these details a month ago, or three weeks ago, even, maybe it could have had an impact. Maybe not -- again, the media doesn't seem to believe her -- but it'd have had a chance.

Now, though? Why release this NOW? The only person this helps is Donald Trump, someone guilty of far worse sexual crimes than anything even she is accusing Biden of. Well, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. It is very strange timing to say the least if she was actually trying to help Bernie.

This is one of her (now deleted) articles going on and on about how amazing Putin is: https://web.archive.org/web/201904042125...clnk&gl=us

If legitimate media sites who are investigating this charge, and I'm sure some are, do research and report it as true, then there probably is something to it. And we all knew Biden was open to a charge like this thanks to his long history of being creepy. That history is part of why I voted Warren in the primary and not Biden. But until then it's fair to be doubtful, I think.
