On Friday, Lucy Flores, a former Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of Nevada, accused Joe Biden of touching her inappropriately as they waited to take the stage at a 2014 election rally. He put his hands on her shoulders, she said, then nuzzled her hair and kissed the back of her head. She didn’t accuse Biden, who is reportedly close to announcing his presidential candidacy, of sexual harassment or assault, just of making her uncomfortable. “I’m not suggesting that Biden broke any laws, but the transgressions that society deems minor (or doesn’t even see as transgressions) often feel considerable

The time to let Biden know he was inappropriate was when he first touched them not years later. Then he might have changed his behavior.

He has his chances.
He scored less than 1% of the Iowa caucus votes several times over the several decades, during which he has been a failure at most everything he´s tried.

There is only one reason that it matters now and it was ok for our vice president Gropry Joe. Now the opposition has a vulnerability to leverage against him, so now instead of the Clinton anything goes standard it´s nothing goes.
Would everything be cool if he calls himself Jose? Just asking.

Biden was in the Fake Russia Collusion briefings with traitor Obama, FBI and DOJ.
Let him run, we have impeachable, treasonous proof of Biden´s guilt.

Sorry, Joe. You just don´t check off any of the approved democratic boxes. Oh, wait. You don´t check off any of them. Bye bye.
You are old, white, male, privileged, and not quite insane enough.

Darn, it looks like Joe is not even going to get out of the gate. I was looking forward to him stumbling around for a year. I guess we´ll have a little less entertainment.
As an aside, I found it humorous how the author whines about all the things men do, from her point of view, that are "daily indignities" and that women have had to put up with them. Does she consider that women have their own habits that can be maddening as well and men sigh and put up with them?
The reality is that people all have their own habits and world view and a LOT of interactions require us to get over ourselves and let it go. No, I am not talking about sexual grabbing. But a touch is NOT inherently bad. Many people LIKE to be touched and like to touch. Some people are bothered by being touched. If YOU don´t like to be touched and I touch you, that doesn´t make me a bad person. I consider someone who dislikes being touched a little unusual, but all they have to do is say something about it and any touching would stop.
I don´t like heavy perfume. It can cause me sinus congestion. If I am around someone who goes heavy on perfume, I might mention it. Are they bad people for not recognizing my personal annoyance with them.

What bothers me most about this and the whole #metoo nonsense is that these women, who consider themselves to be strong feminists, can’t handle these situations on their own. Whatever happened to a good hard slap across the face?

I agree it´s the wrong time.
Joe shouldn´t be so impatient - - he´ll do fine if he holds out until, say, 2028.

#12, what ever happened to the sharp elbow and knee in the groin? What my mom who was a ´woiking goil´ in the late Thirties and Forties taught me as I set out on late teenaged life.
These chickie poos don´t know to save the irate for when it counts.

There was never a "right" time for Joe Biden although his room temperature IQ made him the perfect VP to slightly warmer room temperature IQ Hussein Obama.

It´s never been the "right time" for Biden.
He was VEEP under Obama because he was no threat to Obama. He has been on the public (payroll) dole since he was 29 years old and has not accomplished one dang thing.

Decades ago when Harpo Marx and Jimmy Durante chased women it was considered comic. But I have no sympathy for Plugs for what he did to Judges Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. But I smell a rat. And it cackles and flies a broom and has left over balloons from her victory party in Nov 2016.

It appears to me that The Hand Behind the Green Media Curtain has deemed Ol´ Joe to be Unacceptable as a ´Rat candidate for 2020.
(He DID get a whopping 1% in the Iowa ´Rat Primary in 2008, after all.)
No, The Hand has deemed that Biden is to be Shoved Under the Bus, to make room in the ´Rat Clown Car for The Favored One, whoever that may be.
It appears that The Favored One will be younger, a Privileged (un-criticizable) Minority of some type or another, and most importantly, will be a Far Left candidate, to be granted an Unlimited amount of Leftist Privilege.
Leftist Privilege is granted to those politicians and ´Media Personalities´ that advance the Leftist cause the most on any given day.
It consists of Fawning Media Coverage every day, in every ´news´cast and late-night ´comedy´ show that praises Leftist behavior and Ignores conduct that would cause a Conservative to be Instantly Condemned.
We can see the effect of Leftist Privilege in the day-to-day herd-like Media coverage where ALL the ´mainstream´ media outlets- ABC/NBC/CBS/NPR/NYSlimes/WaPooPoo/AP/Top-of-the-hour Radio News.... ALL cover the SAME story from the SAME leftist viewpoint, using the SAME words and phrases. It has been distributed daily, in ever-increasing amounts, for decades.
