If you thought Christine Blasey Ford's Kavanaugh accusation was disqualifying, I will have a hard time understanding your silence regarding Tara Reade's more troubling and more recent charge against Joe Biden.
reason.com/2020/03/26/joe…
Ford says Kavanaugh threw himself on top of her while they were teenagers at a house party. Reade says Biden sexually assaulted her while she was a staffer in his Senate office. The mainstream media blackout of the latter is baffling.
The Washington Post reported Ford's accusation before she even came forward and allowed herself to be named. Tara Reade has come forward. She has named herself. No Post article, though. Odd. reason.com/2020/03/26/joe…
You can say the timing is suspicious. You can say she waited too long. You can say her public story changed. You can say she has political reasons. (You'd be right on all counts!) None of these things matter to liberals last time around.

If I could make everybody read just one story about the absurdities of campus bureaucracies punishing dissident students for mildly edgy Facebook posts, it would be this one. reason.com/2019/11/26/ind… (1)
Micah Sample wrote a post saying cultural appropriation was dumb and he could wear whatever costume he wanted. Maybe you disagree, that's fine. Tone of the post was all "debate me, bro!" Not great, whatever. (2)
As a result of the post, a dozen people filed bias response complaints against Sample. They said he had threatened their safety (he hadn't). They said they felt endangered (they weren't). And so the university became involved. (3)

One really starts to get the feeling that conservative nationalists don't like libertarians very much.
Me, a libertarian: "My side has no power and if we did our grand plan is to leave everybody alone FWIW."

You, a nationalist conservative: "We must declare INDEPENDENCE from the TOTALITARIANISM of INDIVIDUAL CHOICE and MODERNITY and... SEX TOYS... and... STUFF."
Me, weird and bad: "Uber is really convenient. I love the new scooters everywhere."

You, good and normal: "We shall REJECT the TYRANNY of the COSMOPOLITAN ELITES and their WORSHIP of PROFITS and OPEN BORDERS."

This @HuffPost write-up of my testimony before Congress yesterday doesn't even exist in the same universe as what actually happened. @AndyBCampbell claims I "denied hate and white supremacy pose a threat at all," but even quotes me doing the opposite. huffpost.com/entry/congress…
HufPo: "It’s unclear why Congress would need a dissenting opinion during a hearing titled 'Confronting White Supremacy: The Consequences of Inaction.'" Ah yes, dissenting opinions, it's very unclear why we need any of those.
The article also posits AOC as the savior of the hearing for asking good questions. And her questions were fine! But they were very similar to the questions asked by other Dems (including Ayanna Pressley).

THREAD: With the #Kavanaugh stories coming out of the @nytimes, I want to share some original reporting that has been ignored.

Christine Blasey Ford was an even bigger hero than you know.

Please share this. The world deserves to know her story.
2/ Dr. Ford had never even told her husband about #Kavanaugh’s sexual assault.

They were remodeling their house, and Dr. Ford insisted on building a SECOND FRONT DOOR so she would feel safe. Her husband thought this was ridiculous, so she told him through a therapist.
3/ She was beyond terrified of speaking up, but felt a deep civic duty to this country to tell the Senators voting her experience.

She did not sleep for TWO DAYS before sending this message to @SenFeinstein. She was desperately hoping the Senator would keep her name out of it.

This is a loaded story.

I'm betting that the FBI is in the process of getting a hold of these people now, if they haven't already. There was some clarification necessary, which came from Trump today regarding how far the probe could go.
3/"NBC News reached out to Berchem for comment after obtaining a copy of a memo she wrote about the text messages. In a statement to NBC News, Berchem, a partner in the law firm Akin Gump, said: “I understand that President Trump and the U.S. Senate have ordered an FBI

THREAD: THIS JUST OCCURRED TO ME. HOW DID I MISS IT? WHY HAS NO ONE ELSE NOTICED IT?

CHRIS GARRETT MUST BE INTERVIEWED ASAP
1/ Dr Blasey: The party where the assault occurred was attended by Smyth (P.J.), Judge, Kavanaugh, another boy she can’t recall…
2/ Remember: Kavanaugh’s calendar (July 1) has Chris Garrett, her boyfriend at the time (she was at least dating him) at that party.

Christine Blasey Ford listens to Judiciary GOP chair Grassley falsely claim he’s done everything possible for a fair process and it’s Democrats who obstruct. He falsely equates what she’s been thru w/ Kavanaugh, falsely says Senate has already investigated so FBI doesn’t have to.
Dr Blasey Ford’s voice breaks detailing her sexual assault by Kavanaugh. “I believed he was going to rape me. I was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone… I tried to suppress it b/c recounting it caused panic and anxiety.” She’s breathing heavily, powering thru. What a hero.
Blasey Ford is being essentially cross-examined by Maricopa County Arizona sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell. Mitchell asks if her texts to WaPo & her letter to Senator Feinstein are accurate.

Mark Judge’s former girlfriend Rasor “recalled that Judge had told her ashamedly of an incident that involved him and other boys taking turns having sex with a drunk woman.

Les nouvelles de la nuit US...peu surprenantes. L'accusatrice du juge #Kavanaugh, nominé de #Trump à la Cour Suprême, Christine Blasey Ford, ne semble pas vouloir témoigner lundi et réclame 1 enquête du #FBI. Sa famille a déjà été contrainte de déménager. washingtonpost.com/politics/grass…
2) #Trump et les républicains ont fait mine de prendre en compte le #MeToo en fixant l'audition au Sénat lundi prochain, tout en réduisant l'accusation de Blasey Ford à 1 jeu politique des démocrates et en la délégitimant par avance. Cf. ce tweet...
3) Bref, que Blasey Ford vienne ou pas, l'audition de lundi au Sénat sera 1 pantalonnade. Les sénateurs républicains voteront très vite à l'issue, et guidés par la Maison Blanche de #Trump, ils ne laisseront pas passer l'occasion d'installer #Kavanaugh à la Cour pour 20 à 30 ans
