The offenses against women of Joe Biden are much less than 1% that of Disgusting Tyrant. DT sycophants will imply otherwise and use the DT playbook to try to make it work.
All the Trump Disciples have done one or more cartoons about Biden.
Looking back at their cartoons about Trump and his grabbing women by their private parts, you will find very few, if any cartoons about it by Trump Disciple cartoonists.

Because It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It.
Just like corruption, treason, nepotism, adultery, and especially LYING about everything.
Lost wife and kids to accident, and a son to cancer developed while serving this nation, as he has done most of his life. Might such a man find giving folks kindly attention with a hug, or hand, or whispered encouragement, a way to ease their stress in stressful situations?
They have the nerve to call Biden “creepy” yet they fail to look even closer at the current resident of the Oval Office. While we all don’t always age as well as we hoped for, Trump really has let himself go severely despite all the heavy makeup, hairspray and extra bulk he’s packed on his his older years , but worse yet just listening to him talk is enough to give anyone the creeps, let alone the lies and gestures. He still sounds like the lounge lizards from back in the 70’s hotel bar rooms. But I guess when you have money you can get away with it.
Biden grasped a Cabinet official’s wife, and the photo went viral. Now, she says everyone had it wrong.
…
Stephanie Carter, the wife of the former secretary of defense, Ashton B. Carter[,]… was troubled, too. But not by her interaction with the vice president, as she affirmed in a Medium essay published on Sunday. Instead, she resented how a tender moment between friends was reduced to a single misleading image, caught in the maw of online punditry. In the essay, titled “The #MeToo Story That Wasn’t Me," she recounted how the vice president had whispered his thanks into her ear and “kept his hands on my shoulders as a means of offering his support.”

Instead of criticizing Biden, Stephanie Carter indicted the ecosystem of online outrage fed by Twitter, political punditry and late-night television.

BE CAREFUL, TOO, OF FALSE EQUIVALENCIES!
A kiss on the back of the head, or a nose rub can be intrusive and awkward. With some people they can even feel like power plays. BUT THEY ARE NOT SEXUAL ASSAULT. Pretending that those are the same causes real problems for people who are working to reduce the ever-present problem of sexual assault. Now, grabbing women’s genitalia when that is not requested IS sexual assault, and bragging about it afterward and saying that celebrity makes it okay is way beyond tacky.
Being kissed on the back of one’s head is NOT the same as being sexually assaulted. It is insulting to victims of sexual assault when people behave as if there are not different type of touching. Any male or female, adult, teen, or child who has had someone demean them with a sexual assault certainly knows the difference, and every single one of those who was fortunate enough to not suffer worse is grateful for being spared that even while knowing that he or she was victimized badly.
Pretending that different types of touches are equivalent can cause very real problems for helping victims of sexual assault and even interpretation difficulties for others who NEED to understand the differences among touches or assault types. Do NOT perpetuate the myths created by false equivalencies!
Obviously, I am really, really getting sick of the FALSE EQUIVALENCIES that some people are leaning over backwards to make. They are totally unfair to victims of sexual abuse, and they create confusion for everyone.Yes, there are times when a friendly touch helps, as the friend of Biden whose shoulders he held in support during a touching moment has herself pointed out when she said that the viral photo has been grossly misrepresented.
There are other times when that or an unwanted kiss to the back of the head can feel intrusive and awkward, or infantilizing.
These things are NOT the same as what a person goes through with sexual assault. Ask any victim of sexual assault, male or female, and those who are confused will learn better than to depict the actions as equal.
PLEASE, there is way too much false equivalency garbage going on in the nation, and this is just one more example. Since when did preferences and opinions wind up being treated like they were the same as facts? Since when did people forget that there are incredibly different subsets within broad categories (so that one type of touch is NOT the same as another type — which is kind of a no-brainer if a person takes ti
We should remember that at least ONE of Trump’s ex-wives accused him of rape before later recanting. And that another woman accused him of raping her when she was 13 years old. And that about 20 women have come forward to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct. But, as far as I know, none of them were Russian hookers…….Let’s face it, I KNOW that 110 is the new 90, but even without Biden’s issues I would never vote for him in a primary, let alone a general election. Same with Sanders. Same with Clinton, same with Trump. (Of all of these people, only Trump shows signs of dementia. With him, though, it’s hard to tell, since he’s had the yugest mental illnesses his whole damn life!)

Rotten Orange Trump paid off at least 22 women he molested.
Republicans are absolutely shameless.

@Andylit So video is the only proof that you will accept? God help the rape victim when you’re on the jury.
