I'd never heard of this clown before, wouldn't know him if he did a hand stand in my breakfast cereal.

So what did he actually do?

Apparently staged an attack on himself to generate publicity for himself to get a pay rise, and was charged with making a false report to Police. In Chicago that basically means a probation period and small fine.

So, rather than give this tool more oxygen and chew up Police time and resources running a prosecution, they accepted him forfeiting the $10k bail (when the usual fine is a lot less) and ticked off the 2 days community service.

Pragmatic outcome, nothing to see here, the clown shat in his own nest as far as the people who pay his bills will be reasonably sure of what he did, thanks to the prosecutors statement.

Maybe he could visit Trump's tailor and get some of them Teflon suits.

All the mud thrown at Trump didn't stop him.

er..no; people have personal space and this guy invades it with monotonous regularity.

I personally cant stand touchy feely people, deciding its ok if they start feeling you up; it just makes people uncomfortable.

^ This was started by Lucy Flores who is and was firmly in the Bernie camp. She is as left as they come. Make no mistake, the attack on Joe is from the "progressives"

He hasnt even nominated and yet he is the current leader for the Dem nomination in the polls. The left and far left of the party cannot allow this. He is an old white male and for this reason alone hes unacceptable.

I dont think much of Biden, never have. This is all crap even though I like the irony in it all, including who his defenders are and their recent track record pointing the finger at others.

That said, It is amazing what information on the US is and is not drip fed into Australia.

I share your suspicion about Flores’ motivations, though you must know that the right have been pushing this "creepy Biden" angle more than anyone.

And I should add that I have absolutely no time for Biden whatsoever and am hoping he crashes and burns in the race. I’m not even certain that he ought to be defended on this; perhaps he is a creep with a Trump/Clinton-level understanding of consent. But watch the video above; I think there’s a lot to what Carlson says about the broader issue of where we’re going with this stuff.

Sorry, dont get me wrong your absolutely right.
This has been laughed at and joked about by the right for a long time. an roundly ignored by the media. It has NEVER been taken seriously by anyone serious though.

Whats happening now is the progressive left are weaponizing it for a potential primary with the support of the media. Its all orchestrated.
Biden is just the first and thats because he is popular still with Obama supporters.

An interesting example is Warren. She has seen the writing on the wall hence her recent socialist agenda that seemingly came from nowhere.
