April Is

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. That’s what they keep saying.

I’m on record saying:

“For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real.”

So. Tara Reade. I’ve been described as an unprincipled political insider that brings very little excitement to the Democratic Party. Others have said I’m fundamentally weak, unreliable, and dishonest – a guy who would give you a warm smile and then sell you out behind closed doors. “Middle Class Joe” — A person with a “middle class” image but actually sucks up to the rich, elite, and powerful and has contempt for ordinary people and also used my office to rake in millions for myself. I guess I’ve also been described as a likable guy who doesn’t seem so bad, and was good enough for Obama to take as Veep. And Obama can’t run again, so maybe Biden is not the perfect candidate – but he isn’t the worst choice.
Not sure where I am going with this.

Oh yeah. Tara Reade. Of all the things that have been said – usually sexual assault or harassment isn’t usually said. At least in the media. I mean – there is a lot of discussion about me inappropriately touching people – especially women and children – but Tara Reade in the hallway kind of stuff? No. And why would it start now? Seriously, I love that the media are on such a a short leash that not ONE question about Ms. Reade has been asked. Someone should give Tucker Carlson a stern talking to. He doesn’t seem to be willing to overlook this even while the rest of the world’s media looks the other way. Hmmm. Put that on the “to do” list.

Tomorrow is May. Arthritis Awareness Month. There is even World Hand Hygiene Day May 5. Much more appropriate for my campaign discussions. Just gotta get through April.

Come on, man.
