The Unknown Poster Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Quote This thread has been derailed and any further responses ought to be in US politics. Having said that, Ms.Reade's allegations ought to be taken seriously as upwards of 80% of reported sexual assaults by women are very credible. However, one of the online news websites (I think it was Huffpost) I checked when this first arose appears to have done a credible job of following this up to see if it was credible. The two alleged witnesses and Ms.Reade all refused to speak to the reporter. This doesn't mean it wasn't true, but allegations of this sort need to be supported by evidence. Yeah. People have to remember, Biden is one of the most vetted people in American politics as a former VP. There are too many people who said there was anything to this. i believe it was her own brother who changed his story from "shoulder rubs" to "assault". She filed a police report without naming him (possibly because lying in a sworn statement is illegal). Apparently she's a fan of Putin (though...I dont know the veracity). Everyone knows Biden is touchy and he's addressed that. Apparently her complaint started out as a "he made me uncomfortable", like so many others said and then when he became the nominee, its suddenly a full scale assault. And yes, it can happen. But this is like Al Franken where the Dems are expected to slit the throat of any male accused but the GOP shrug off allegations and say so what. If any GOP'ers want the Dems to take this seriously, they can start by taking Trumps 20+ credible allegations seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entrapment is a practice whereby a law enforcement agent or agent of the state induces a person to commit a "crime" that the person would have otherwise been unlikely or unwilling to commit. It "is the conception and planning of an offense by an officer or agent, and the procurement of its commission by one who would not have perpetrated it except for the trickery, persuasion or fraud of the officer or state agent.

You're clueless on this. Catching crooks in lies is interrogation 101. There is nothing to see here at all. Its a note discussing different interrogation techniques. Getting someone to lie and then building upon that is police work 101. Take off your Trump blinders.

Tracker Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Louisiana Lawmakers Vote by Mail to Roll Back Access to Voting by Mail Not without some irony, Republican lawmakers voted by mail on Thursday to roll back a plan that expanded the access to mail-in ballots in Louisiana. Lawmakers asserted that mail-in votes carry a higher risk of voter fraud, a claim frequently used by Trump that election officials have said is extremely rare, The Advocate reports. The altered plan, introduced by Republican Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin, who called it a “pragmatic and temporary response,” was approved by the Louisiana House on a 62-39 vote and the Senate by a 31-8 vote and only applies to elections in July and August. The revisions allow access to mail-in ballots for individuals who are 60 years or older, those at high risk of serious complications, as well as people who are under a “medically necessary quarantine or isolation order” or caring for someone in self-isolation. Some Republican lawmakers were reportedly not satisfied with the revisions, arguing that the plan should cut mail-in voting even more.

This appears to be the most credible description. It does not excuse Biden's lack of common sense but not a indictable offence by any means, and probably not even civilly culpable. Nothing will stop the GOP from trying to blow it up into a war crime, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
