The Joe Biden Dilemma.

This is a very interesting look back to the Obama years but is related to Joe Biden's quest for the presidency. It deals with a chief medical advisor to Obama's team that put together the Obamacare law. Quote: "Does Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel believe Joe Biden would be better off dead? That would be a peculiar position for Biden's chief adviser on medical issues and a member of the candidate's Public Health Advisory Committee to take. But if we accept the reasoning behind Emanuel's infamous 2014 essay, Biden is nothing more than a resource-sucking shell of himself who should stop trying to prolong his life." And,  "The media don't ask Emanuel about any of this. They do, however, treat him as a leading expert on COVID-19. On March 27, Emanuel, who is chairman of the department of medical ethics at the University of Pennsylvania, said on "Morning Joe" that at the current rate of spread, there would likely be 100 million Americans infected by the coronavirus in a month. (Yesterday was the one-month anniversary of Emanuel's prediction, and he turned out to be somewhere in the vicinity of 99 million cases off. I haven't won a single Nobel Prize, and I bet I could offer a forecast that comes within 99 million people of being correct.) But Emanuel, and other Obama-era figures such as Andy Slavitt  who cited predictions that a million Americans would be dead of coronavirus  are given lifetime special status as reliable experts, no matter how wrong they are."    https://cfif.org/v/index.php/commentary/54-state-of-affairs/4989-joe-bidens-dr-death  This revelation could seal his fate.     https://politibuzz.com/watch-biden-sweat-like-a-pig-after-critical-question/ 
This item pins the tail on the very spot that the feminist crowd is forced to wrestle with given Tara Reade's accusation of Biden's sexual assault. Quote: "One of the ironies at the heart of feminism is that its increasingly strict code of conduct requires the very chivalry and chastity it has done so much to erase. It taught men not to respect women but to respect feminism. It pooh-poohed the manners and the morals of the past that kept men on the straight and narrow. It sought political power, not moral goodness. Out of that culture came feminists like the journalist Nina Burleigh, who famously said of Bill Clinton, “I’d be happy to give him [oral sex] just to thank him for keeping abortion legal. The rise of male feminist pigs is the byproduct of the union between feminism and the sexual revolution. The Bill Clintons and the Ted Kennedys supported both. Feminism taught them to respect the politics of feminism; the sexual revolution taught them to use women for their own pleasure. In these Me Too times, feminists don’t talk like that anymore. But the principle underneath Burleigh’s remark remains valid for many feminists. That’s why they are struggling with this Tara Reade charge. According to Reade, the feminist groups whom she hoped would help her declined. They clearly didn’t want to participate in taking down their preferred presidential candidate — a candidate who brags about his 100 percent rating from NARAL. But as conservative attention to Reade’s charge intensifies, feminists feel the need to at least pretend to take her seriously. Hence the anxious discussions about Biden’s tardy response. They just want Biden to deny it directly and then they can go back to business as usual. But why should they automatically believe him? What happened to their “women are to be believed” commitment? The answer, of course, is that feminism’s belief in the accused turns on his politics."    https://spectator.org/male-feminist-pigs/?                                                                                                                         This dilemma is consequential because it strikes at the very heart of and falsifies the left wing's narrative that they are all about protecting the rights of their multitudes of special interest groups. Feminists being just one of them. Their enforcement hammer is total compliance with their political correctness speech. But protecting the rights of special interest groups is not at the core of their belief system. Rather political leftism is all about its left wing political doctrines and policies. Not the people they claim they love and fight to protect. As long as one's allegiance to their political doctrine is set in stone anyone can violate the rights of any member of one of their "special interest groups" or anyone else. Therefore, if the charges do not stick Biden is home free as far as the feminists are concerned. But, that turns Tara Reade into a victim of their political doctrine, forsaking their fake politically correct "me too" believe everything the woman say mantra. On the other hand when or if Biden folds and admits guilt they will drop him like a hot rock simply because he violated their political doctrine not because he actually harmed Reade.  And, that returns Reade to being the actual victim she most likely already is. That is how left wing politics works. You need only to consider how they treat defectors from their party and their doctrine to understand that fact. For example, Trump, Republicans, Conservatives, Christians, climate change opponents and gun owners are routine victims of that treatment. Muslims, illegal aliens, atheists, MS13 gang members, climate change advocates and baby killer abortionists among others are never targeted. But if you violate their political doctrine you become an instant enemy.
This is an example of how the far left mainstream media will go to protect their far left wing heroes. Quote: "Here’s yet another example of “if you’re a powerful Democrat, you can get away with anything.” If Joe was was conservative, the Associated Press would’ve made this report its top story in 2019."  And, "The Associated Press reported on Saturday it interviewed Tara Reade Friday about her allegations that former Vice President and presumptive 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden sexually assaulted her in the 1990s when she was an aide in his Senate office but buried that the outlet failed to report on its interviews with Reade in 2019, when she first made public her dealings with Biden. AP declined to publish details of the 2019 interviews at the time because reporters were unable to corroborate her allegations, and aspects of her story contradicted other reporting,” the report said. This is false. https://t.co/w4yXGI1DQm    https://flagandcross.com/ap-interviewed-tara-reade-in-2019-about-biden-claim-then-declined-to-publish-the-report/
