A Nevada politician is claiming that when she was the Democratic party's candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 2014, Joe Biden kissed her inappropriately.

One aspect that isn't covered on the various websites that have covered the allegations is that she is a prominent Sanders supporter, and on the board of directors of Our Revolution.Just before the speeches, we were ushered to the side of the stage where we were lined up by order of introduction. As I was taking deep breaths and preparing myself to make my case to the crowd, I felt two hands on my shoulders. I froze. “Why is the vice-president of the United States touching me?”
I felt him get closer to me from behind. He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified. I thought to myself, “I didn’t wash my hair today and the vice-president of the United States is smelling it. And also, what in the actual fuck? Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair?” He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head. My brain couldn’t process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused. There is a Spanish saying, “tragame tierra,” it means, “earth, swallow me whole.” I couldn’t move and I couldn’t say anything. I wanted nothing more than to get Biden away from me. My name was called and I was never happier to get on stage in front of an audience….
He was there to promote me as the right person for the lieutenant governor job. Instead, he made me feel uneasy, gross, and confused. The vice-president of the United States of America had just touched me in an intimate way reserved for close friends, family, or romantic partners — and I felt powerless to do anything about it.
Man, the Democratic primary is going to be a shitshow.
Sincerely,
Thomas Mets

Saw this on Twitter....
Donald Trump is:
1) a billionaire, but you can’t see his taxes
2) a genius, but you can’t see his grades
3) exonerated, but you can’t see the report
It’s no wonder people point and laugh at right wingers

Also, more Trump awfulness.
Trump just lied about the father of Jakelin Caal Maquin, girl who died in US custody, saying "the father gave the child no water for a long period of time -- he actually admitted blame." In fact, he denied this claim. She died of bacterial infection.The autopsy report on 7-year-old Jakelin Caal Maquin, showing she died of a "rapidly progressive" infection, was just released this afternoon. The president has taken this opportunity to lie that her dad admitted he was to blame for her death.

If you have a party where you are framing yourselves as the "Good Guys" alternative while you have a Presidential nominee(assuming this doesn't somehow fall apart) who stands accused and you haven't run a credibly accused rapist out of his office and the party, it's not going to be all that far away from what Mets said.
While he could stand to get a bit more real over what you brought up, it's not like the Democratic Party is looking great here.
Ooooooooooooooooh WBE!!!!!!! We got a big one you need to push to the front!
Former Arizona Rep. David Stringer was arrested in 1983 on suspicion of paying two children under the age of 15 to have sex with him, according to records from an ethics investigation released Friday.
A Baltimore police report from 1983 was released by the Arizona House of Representatives, which had been investigating Stringer's past sex-crime charges.
The report states police arrested Stringer in September 1983, after a boy told officers that Stringer had met him and a friend in a park a year earlier, and asked them to come back to his apartment to have sex.
One of the boys told police he had been back to see Stringer at least 10 times to perform oral sex or penetrative sex, the report states. The boy told police his last visit with Stringer was in July 1983, when they had sex and took a shower together.
“(Name redacted) said that he has been back to see Mr. Dave at least 10 additional times since the first time," the report states. "He said that each time he has been asked to perform acts of fellatio and sodomy with David Stringer."
According to the police report, one of the boys Stringer was accused of raping had a developmental disability.
Stringer later accepted a plea deal on some charges. But few details of Stringer's sentence are known because a judge expunged the case in 1990, erasing the court records.
Those revelations sparked an immediate outcry from Republican and Democratic leaders on Friday afternoon. House Speaker Rusty Bowers, R-Mesa, said the records led him to push Stringer to step down this week.
“The behavior described in Mr. Stringer’s arrest report is absolutely appalling and sickening," Bowers said in a statement. "I confronted Mr. Stringer with the information on Wednesday afternoon and again asked him to resign, which he finally did.”
Gov. Doug Ducey responded on Twitter. He had called on Stringer to resign in June after he made racist comments about immigrants.
"However, these revelations are far worse than anything we were aware of before," Ducey posted on the site. "Someone capable of these acts has no place at this Capitol."Stringer, a Republican from Prescott, abruptly resigned from the Arizona Legislature on Wednesday, a stunning move that came as he refused to cooperate with ethics
The House Ethics Committee had been investigating Stringer over revelations that he was charged with sex crimes, including child pornography, when he lived in Maryland about 35 years ago.
Stringer resigned an hour before a deadline the House Ethics Committee had set for him to respond to a subpoena demanding records related to his sex charges.
"This is to confirm my resignation as State Representative for Legislative District 1, effective 4 p.m. this date, March 27, 2019," Stringer wrote in a one-line letter.
Stringer has consistently said he was never convicted of a crime and accused the media of reporting fake information. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday afternoon.
Stringer's attorney, Carmen Chenal, said she wasn't aware the records had been released on Friday afternoon and declined to comment.
In January, Stringer told Prescott eNews, a news outlet in which he is an investor, "There is no guilty plea, no conviction. I have no record; I have done nothing wrong."
