    Seems to me she'd be more likely to make money releasing it after Biden is President, but I'm sure seconds and seconds of strategic thought went into this decision.

    Good luck with your book sales, dear. I'm still #43 (out of 68) to get Mike Cohens book at my local library... Don't imagine there will be that sort of demand for this book, but I could be wrong...

    Some of Trump's accusers, but probably not all. There's way too much "smoke" on that for there to not be a fire.

    This is a woman who knew she had no actual sexual assault to accuse Biden of, but A) wants money, and B) is likely being pushed from the right to get this book out there before the election. That's my strong suspicion, anyway.

    Trump has a nefarious reputation where women are concerned. This is not a theory, it's a fact backed by years of his well-documented behavior.

    Biden, on the other hand, has never had that kind of reputation. Heck, he even participated in authoring the Violence Against Women Act of 1994. Too touchy-feely, that's true, but that's not sexual assault. (Not yet, anyway. Who the eff knows how far the #metoo movement go?)

    Plus, unlike Trump, Biden has learned, apologized, and now refrains from that touchy-feely behavior, and not just because of the virus. Can anyone imagine Donald Trump admitting to any fault or apologizing for any behavior?

    Two wrongs make a right?

    Can you link to reports or articles chronicling Biden's philandering? And his criminal behavior?

    I'm sure you're proud of voting yp5ur conscience, I get that and admire it. But a third party vote in this election is a waste of a vote that could actually count.

    The Dems bringing fraudulent, fabricated BS against a judge nominated to the Supreme Court and Biden lying through his teeth over and over again are the two wrongs and they are far from right!

    So all needs done to manufacture legitimacy is volume?

    No.

    Good for her. She has every right to write and publish her book - just as all the Trump smearing books had a right to exist. But turn about is fair play...are you going to buy her book?

    Hmm, I must have missed the full airing, where was that exactly?

    You nailed with the won't care comment. Tara Reade is a life long democrat, she hates Trump but she is not credible according to democrats. I agree with you 100% they don't care, they won't care. Me Too is a weapon to be used against Republicans and ONLY Republicans.

    She should keep her mouth shut! The left doesn't take kindly to women that come forward about sexual misconduct. Look how they destroyed the Clinton rape victims. I pray for her.

    What volume? Whose volume? Or did you mean quantity?

    Sorry, but I don't deal in absolutes where such allegations are concerned. I'll leave simplicity of "all-or-nothing" to the right.

    My point with the quantity of women who have accused Trump of sexual assault is that it is improbable that all of them are lying about it. That said, however, Trump's supporters refuse to even consider that any of them might be telling the truth. How many great big billowing clouds of smoke does one need to see in order to make the very likely assumption that there's a fire?

    For all the years Status Quo Joe has been "serving" in government, I've been paying attention and voting. I've become a pacifist in my old age, and Joe has voted for every illegitimate war we've done. He applauded Juan Guaido in Congress last year. He's as big a crook as Trump is, but of a different stripe.

    Depends how much incentive there is for people to fake fires. And there's a lot.

    Which of Trump's accusers do you think is making credible claims?

    Being a hawk doesn't make you a crook. Usually, it makes you conservative. Those opposed to the most illegitimate war, Vietnam, were left wing pacifists, mostly. Iraq is a bit different, with everyone eventually opposing that catastrophe.

    What other wars were illegitimate in your opinion? Whether going into Kosovo was legitimate is debatable, but its execution was perfect. The Gulf War was a textbook example of achieving an objective and leaving. Another perfect execution, although there were casualties. Grenada was funny. There have been other involvements I'm not thinking about right now, and there's Afghanistan, which was necessary, but has a life of its own.

    Beats me. Too many to keep up with even if I wanted to. Those type of details about Trump ... I'd rather not know.

    My point is that there are nearly two dozen women with tales to tell. Are they all lying? That's doubtful. Trump's attitude towards women is well known. The way he described his own behavior on the infamous Hollywood Access tape is just one telltale sign that this is a man who thinks that he can "have" whatever woman he wants ... he's always been like that. He was certainly like that during the ten years that I lived in NYC.

    We can assume that some of his accusers are exaggerating his behavior, but there are just too many, and some of their tales are similar regarding how he approached them with ill intent. The law of averages alone indicates the likelihood that he's a predator, an arrogant one who feels entitled.

    I cannot think of a single legitimate war in my lifetime, but then I've watched and cried over Oliver Stone's "The Untold History of the United States" on Netflix.

    IMO, any military action like war that is not declared IAW the US Constitution is illegitimate. That's why the AUMF is illegitimate.

    I respect that opinion. I felt that way when I was younger, ironically.

    I'm torn on the issue, but I recognize the world stage has changed since we became a superpower along with the Soviet Union after WWII. I'm confident in giving the Executive certain powers, especially with the partisanship we've witnessed for decades. As much power that has been grabbed by succeeding presidents, Congress is a dysfunctional joke. Anyway, all my rambling aside, I'm moderately hawkish myself, but I accept your opinion as well. If Congress did its job and properly represented us, we'd be able to settle these things among ourselves.

    I like the way FDR put it, and I am pragmatic enough to understand it is a practical position--POTUS can wage war IAW constitutional authority, but he cannot declare war.

    Considering that when the USC was written there were not many roads and it took days for members of Congress to assemble, it is a practical detail. But after the emergency is dealt with, whatever happens next MUST include congressional approval. POTUS already had that power legally by way of the Constitution.

    Therefore, AUMF was sophistry. That measure alone has put us in the situation we are in, perpetual war undeclared and brought under fraud.

    Yes, I forgot about the "deadlines." Always extended and never met. I don't disagree with you. Like I said, Congress has been out to lunch.

    The slanders, lies, smears and fake news are coming like explosive diarrhea in the last two weeks of the trump campaign.
    By now, people know what he’s up to, and having Rudy as your point man is not helping.

    Can you post your political map, I am curious on how you equate left or socialism to facists. :)
