Why pushing the Tara Reade allegation against Biden works for the right despite Trump's own immoral behavior

While conservative media continued pushing the Tara Reade sexual impropriety accusation against Joe Biden narrative until liberal media could no longer ignore it, Donald Trump has understandably had very little to say on the topic. After all, why would Trump want to stir a hornets nest that has been dormant for over year, which in Trump era time may as well be a century?

As we all should know by now, Trump has had at least 25 accusations of everything from less egregious sexual misconduct to an allegation made in 2016 of raping a 13-yr old girl at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan residence (which was voluntarily dropped by his Jane Doe accuser). Jeffrey Epstein's suspicious suicide while in custody has since been shrouded in conspiracy theories from both sides ranging from it being Soros, to Trump having him offed in order to silence him, to the Clintons being responsible for the same reason. However, if it were actually a suicide, Epstein took a lot of secrets to his grave. That's all for a later discussion, which I am certain will resurface once Trump is out of office and his presidential protections are removed.

So why is it a big deal for conservatives to push this Reade/Biden accusation to the forefront knowing the utter hypocrisy involved? Consider that it has already been established that the right doesn't really care about Trump's long and well documented history of immoral behavior.

Even if we ignore the saying "where there is smoke there is fire", if none of the 25 linked sexual misconduct allegations against Trump are true, there are known facts. Trump paid off porn star Stormy Daniels - while his wife Melania was pregnant - as well as Playboy playmate Karen McDougal for their silence after his sexual affairs with them. That should have been more than enough to send the supposedly moral right into a frenzy. Yet, conservatives all but ignored them.

Sure! The allegation against Biden should be investigated, and if true, there should be consequences. At the very least, it would certainly have somewhat of negative affect on Biden's presidential run, just as Trump's sexual misconduct should have... but didn't. It would also level the moral playing field between Biden and Trump somewhat, bringing Biden just a bit closer to Trump's level of immorality. No matter what degree of consequence Biden's being found to be culpable should end up being, this would be a win for the right.

The conservative media knows who they are dealing with here. The democratic party is heavily littered with social justice warriors that will NOT let anything relative to sexual misconduct go ignored or unpunished, even if the accusation is against their own last hope to get Trump out of office. So while Trump's base might actually let him get away with shooting someone in the streets, as he once suggested, if Joe Biden were to as much a sneeze in the wrong direction, the social justice warriors would attack him like fire ants on a bare foot having stepping on their mound. I would be remiss if I didn't include some of the Bernie Sanders supporters as being prominent in that contingent, as many of them still believe that Bernie somehow has a chance to win the nomination. They aren't exactly thrilled with the way that Sanders has been treated by the DNC or the moderate left during these last two presidential cycles.

Prior to Tara Reade's allegations, the only discernible ammunition that conservatives had regarding Biden was concerning his age, his fumbling of words and his stuttering habits, basically pushing the senile old man narrative. While substantial concerns in the eyes of any normal person during more normal times, those speaking issues really don't amount to being quite enough to really condemn Biden in this race. When compared to Trump, Biden still gives one the impression of a more honest, intelligent, educated, competent and stable person. So the idea is to push Reade's sexual misconduct...

A cadre of blue-state governors is already preparing a litany of political and legal moves to shield their states’ policies and residents from federal actions under Donald Trump's new administration.

The plans from Democratic governors across the country — including a handful of potential 2028 presidential contenders — offer both a repeat of how leaders of liberal states pushed back against Trump during his first term, as well as a snapshot of what the resistance to him from the left will look like this time around.

While the 2024 presidential election was among the closest in recent memory — with President-elect Donald Trump ahead by about 3 percentage points over Vice President Kamala Harris — Trump's vote share grew in a diverse array of regions across the country and across different demographic groups.

It's the first time in Trump's three campaigns for the White House that he's topped his opponent in the popular vote, and only the second time since 1988 that any Republican has done so. In 2016, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won almost 66...

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's federal election interference case has granted a request from special counsel Jack Smith to hit pause on the process and give him a month to formally request how to move forward — likely the first step in ending the prosecution.

In a filing on Friday, Smith said that "as a result of the election" the prosecution "respectfully requests that the Court vacate the remaining deadlines in the pretrial schedule to afford the Government time to assess this unprecedented circumstance."

Washington — President-elect Donald Trump's victory Tuesday has stirred up whispers about whether Justice Sonia Sotomayor should step down from the Supreme Court to allow President Biden to nominate a successor before Republicans take control of Washington.

But any changes in the composition of the nation's highest court are unlikely in the coming months, even as lawmakers return for a lame-duck session to finish their business before Trump is sworn in for a second term and the GOP assumes the Senate majority.

Voters in seven out of 10 states approved ballot measures this week to safeguard abortion rights, a hot-button issue that helped drive Americans to the polls.

But President-elect Donald Trump's victory early Wednesday could make access to the procedure more vulnerable and uncertain across the U.S., health policy experts warned, leaving the reproductive well-being of many women hanging in the balance.

Trump has waffled considerably on his position on abortion, most recently saying he would not support a federal ban and wants to leave the issue up to...
