Give the Russian trolls their credit. They've gotten people to blame ordinary American behavior on Russia and have increased the conspiracy landscape dramatically.

My father was like that. There are people in my job like that. There are guys who like to hug me.

I'm touch-aversive, for the most part.

I sort of feel like this is a "hatchet job" to try to bring down Biden. Even the women in question don't believe he was '"sexually motivated." They just felt "uncomfortable," similar to how I feel "uncomfortable" when someone touches me.

I'm not a great fan of his; I would prefer him over Trump, though.


Sorry, but the way he acts around children is just so wrong. The guy is a creep. He'd get destroyed by Trump.

Looking them up reveals two journalistic hacks -- one a book-writer, and the other a show-runner.

Both seem more interested in self-publicity than in anything of substance.


Greenwald is one of the only decent mainstream journalists left in the US.

My immediate reaction to the accusations was that people were trying to take him down. Not that the accusations are false but that they are being inflated to something more than they are.

Could you elaborate on the rationale behind this?

1) Biden's behavior is acceptable

2) Biden's behavior should be discouraged, but is not rising to the level of any kind of action being necessary

3) Biden's behavior is unacceptable, but since it is not dangerous, and he is old we should tolerate it

4) Whatever your actual reasoning is

Hoo boy, you haven't been paying attention. He's notorious for fondling children and has been doing it for years -- it's all over the place.

Sad isn't it, and I still know more than you about journalism in your country.

I don't know what we do with Joe Biden. I do know what we don't do: MAKE HIM PRESIDENT.

On Easter Morning, the New York Times does its news dump on creepy Joe Biden. It's some of the most slimy and contrived deflection ever put in print. And even that wasn't enough, so after they posted it they deleted more wording to make it even more dishonest than it was before. Links, summaries, before-and-after screenshots:

Good luck Democrats. I'm sure the internet won't have a field day with Uncle Joe.

He is harmless.
He just isn't in tune with more modern times.
