    Hey remember that time Joe Biden, chair of the judiciary committee bent over backwards to protect Clarence Thomas when Thomas was accused of inappropriate sexual absences?

      inappropriate sexual absences

      I had to look this up.

      Inappropriate Sexual Absences: A term referring to the failure of an individual to be present in a context where their participation in romantic or intimate interactions is reasonably expected, resulting in potential emotional distress or misunderstanding among involved parties. Such absences may arise from a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to, willful neglect, avoidance of relational obligations, or the pursuit of extraneous activities that detract from the fulfillment of intimate commitments. This term may encompass both the intentional and unintentional nature of the absence, and its implications may vary based on the established expectations of the relationship in question.

      I think the important part was when he gave a half hearted apology in 2020, Hill said it wasn’t enough. And then he just still to this fucking day says it was enough and refuses to actually apologize.

      Biden has always thought he was the smartest guy in the room, even back in law school when he was plagiarizing everything to barely pass.

      That’s not a trait we want in a leader
