So what?

Does that make what Biden did and what happened to other women (most according to you) to generate those 'worse stories' acceptable?

I'll bet you wouldn't be as willing to give Biden a pass if he was something other than a Democrat.

Ivana Trump, Mr Trump’s first wife, once used the word “rape” to describe an encounter with him. The accusation was made in a 1993 book following a divorce settlement between the two. She has since softened her language, saying that she didn’t mean the word in a “literal or criminal sense”.

Jill Harth, a former business partner of Mr Trump’s, said that Mr Trump forcibly kissed her on the lips, groped her breasts, and grabbed her genitals in what she described in a 1997 as an “attempted rape”. The encounter allegedly occurred at Mr Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, in one of his children’s bedroom. She also says that Mr Trump groped her under the table at a dinner with colleagues at the Plaza Hotel.

Kristen Anderson alleged that Mr Trump put his hand up her skirt and touched her genitals over her underwear at the China Club in Manhattan at some point in the early 1990s when she was in her early 20s. Ms Anderson was an aspiring model at the time.

Lisa Boyne accused Mr Trump of insisting that female models walk across a table at a New York restaurant in 1996, and then remarking on their underwear and genitalia. She was 25 at the time.

Cathy Heller says that Mr Trump forcibly kissed her on the lips during a Mother’s Day brunch at mar-a-Lago in 1997.

Mariah Billado, a former Miss Vermont Teen USA, has alleged that says that Mr Trump walked into a dressing room unannounced in 1997. She said that there were several teen beauty queens aged between 15 and 19 in the room naked at the time.

Karena Virginia alleged that Mr Trump grabbed her arm and touched her breast while she was waiting for a car after the US Open.

Bridget Sullivan, a former Miss New Hampshire, alleged that Mr Trump walked into the Miss USA pageant dressing room in 2000 while contestants were naked. She was 19 at the time.

Tasha Dixon, a former Miss Arizona, alleged that Mr Trump entered dressing rooms at the Miss USA pageant in 2001 while contestants were “half-naked”.

Melinda Macgillivray alleged that Mr Trump grabbed her buttock in a pavilion behind the main house of his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2003. They were in the middle of a group of people, she said, and it was during a concert performed by Ray Charles.

Jennifer Murphy said that Mr Trump forcibly kissed her after a job interview in 2005. She was 26 at the time.

Rachel Cooks alleged that Mr Trump kissed her forcibly on the lips outside the elevator in Trump Tower in 2005. She was 22 at the time.

Natasha Stoynoff alleged that Mr Trump pushed her against a wall and forcibly kissed her in a closed-door room in his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2005. Ms Stoynoff, a writer for PEOPLE magazine, was there to interview Mr Trump.

Good stuff. Now what does any of this have to do with the thread? Are you saying that because someone may have done worse than Biden that his perversions are acceptable?

I would love to post my former employer's HR policy manual in regard to sexual harassment, but I can't.

Here is a sample of what most private sectors use.
https://resources.workable.com/sexual-harassment-policy

Where I worked the big excuse was, "Oh so and so is just a touchy feely kind of person, they really don't mean anything by it."
No So and so needs to keep their hands to themselves as well as the hugs and kisses. The whispered compliments in the ear? Smelling of hair? Not no but hell no and it gets people fired every single day in this country and rightly so.

It amazes me how many people are willing to make excuses for perverts. The same ones who flipped out about Kavanaugh and Trump are making excuses for Biden. How about you treat that old scum bag the same way you would Trump?

He won’t survive this. Democrats want someone else to represent them.
Dont be so sure. Party hardliners can forgive or overlook almost anything when it's one of their own. Look at the free passes both Clintons have enjoyed. Look at this thread how many are making excuses for Biden or trying to minimize his misdeeds. The same who would be out for blood if it were Pence instead of Biden.

...Then the alarm goes off and SunGrins wakes from his/her dream world. Not knowing how to deal with the reality of life since all the lies of Russian collusion were, in fact, lies.

Believing in a lie for two years is ridiculous, but it's solely on anybody for allowing themselves to be easily led by the MSM and the Democratic Party, who never presented any facts... Just your basic liberal "feelings" and "emotions."

Since Trump survived being called a racist, sexist and Russian Puppet, what will the MSM try to label him with now? You know this isn't going to stop.

How about you treat Kavanaugh the same way you would Clinton? Clinton was impeached for lying to Congress. Kavanaugh's college roommate made credible claims that Kavanaugh had lied to Congress, instead of investigating those claims the hypocritical GOP gave him a seat on the SCOTUS instead.

Agreed. Why this is even brought up when one like Trump has performed actual assaults upon many females, which is swept aside? (I never got over the claims that became built up about Al Franken, either, doubting the accuracy of these events, while we have this freak sitting in the W H who is actually known to be habitually lewd and lascivious).

Don't get me wrong, real sexual harrassment or assault claims on either sex are one thing and is serious, but a line needs to be drawn as to what is considered an actual attempt or approach and what is not, besides examining what may be perceived as such by a type of person who has other reasons or motivations to want to believe and claim such.

MORE lack of judgement, special treatment, influence.
