Goose/Gander.....etc....etc....It is a problem created by the Dems with “believe all women” and now reinforced by tbe Republicans For political purposes. Let’s pretend their Hypocrisy doesn’t exist either.Never let the Democrats take responsibility for anything. Ever. Better throw in some Republican shit to make it an even-Steven deal.
Pretty simple stuff
Never shit in your own nest...
Glass house ..... Stone throwing
Point one finger forward
Three point back
C'mon.....this is not hard.

The accusations are hardly similar. Trump has admitted to groping and sexually assaulting women - "I don't even ask, I just start kissing", and 16 women came forward and confirmed his accounts, of him groping them and of fighting him off. Three women have filed affidavits that he raped them.
7 women have come forward and said that Joe Biden touched them - on the shoulders. He hugged them, or sniffed their hair. All have said that it was not sexual, but it made them "uncomfortable". The two sets of allegations could hardly be more different in nature or tone.
You are right they're very different. I don't particularly like Trump but he's never made an effort to hide what he is even if he did pay for nda's like just about every other high Life billionaire out there including Mike Bloomberg who has about two dozen of them by the way. When a guy steps forward and claims to represent the all-embracing acceptance of the left it looks pretty bad when seven women come out of the shadows to accuse him. This is exactly why Trump is able to survive those accusations many of which are no doubt true. Now buckup and believe the women... You know as well as I do you've been in the same position as they have...I can smell it from here.

I don't like to be touched, uninvited. I don't hug strangers, or greet people by touching them. I'm physically standoffish, unless you're close family, or we're dating.
When I was a young law clerk, I worked for a lawyer who was "handsy". If I was drafting contracts and wanted to ask him questions, he would stand behind me and put his hands on my shoulders, and read my screen over my shoulder. He was never sexual or inappropriate, but it made me unconfortable - because I don't like to be touched.
I never said anything to my boss, nor would I. He was the kindest, most decent and generous man I have ever worked for. My husband called him "Uncle Harrold". Had I said I felt uncomfortable, he would have thought my discomfort was because I thought he was making a pass at me, and he would have been crushed that I would have thought he would do that. I could spend hours telling you of all of the wonderful things that man did for his employees.
He was an only child who had only ever wanted to have a large family. I actually lived with him and his family until my husband could move to Toronto. My daughter had her baby pictures taken in the beautiful lace dress he gave her. His staff had all worked for him for 20 and 30 years. I would not have hurt his feelings for anything you can name.
Joe Biden's behaviour reminds me very much of Uncle Harrold.
I have never inappropriately a coworker. It’s weird.
I've never had any other employer touch me like that either, nor have I had an employer or supervisor make advances, but then I was married, and always behaved professionally, and never ever had more than one drink at any business dinner or function - except Uncle Harrold's annual cruise of Lake Ontario, where we closed the office at noon, and the entire staff drank champagne all afternoon on his 35 foot sailboat. Best boss ever!
I don't drink on the job, and company functions are "on the job" as far as I'm concerned. I've been at too many company functions and thought that I could not face my co-workers in the morning, after acting like that the night before. Banker's parties are the WORST for drunken loutishness.
