President-elect Joe Biden gave an emotional farewell address in Delaware on Tuesday, less than 24 hours before he’s set to be sworn in as the 46th president of the United States.

“To my fellow Delawareans, on behalf of the entire Biden family that’s here today, I want to express how much you mean to me and to every one of us,” Biden said, as he got personal talking about his family’s ties to the state for many years.

“It’s deeply personal that our next journey to Washington starts here, a place that defines the very best of who we are as Americans,” he continued. “I’ll always be a proud son of the state of Delaware.”

As Biden recalled the words of James Joyce, Biden teared up as he said, “When I die, Delaware will be written on my heart.”

Biden also got emotional as he spoke about his late son Beau Biden. as he spoke at the National Guard/Reserve Center named for Beau.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I only have one regret. He’s not here. Because we should be introducing him as president.”

He concluded, “But we have great opportunities. Delaware’s taught us anything’s possible.”

And Admiral Nelson said that when he died, the lack of frigates would be engraved on his heart.

This lying bastard has never made an original statement in his life!

What a very strange thing to say. Prophetic? Does he know something's up for tomorrow?

Nah, I just think he was going for a moment like Raymond Massey's farewell scene from the movie "Abe Lincoln in Illinois". He didn't plagiarize the exact words, but he was trying to plagiarize the moment. Dude's always plagiarizing something.

Don’t be mad...for most of Trump’s presidency he enjoyed a fawning press corps. Maybe a couple of attack pieces the last 2 weeks of his presidency but most very minor. Biden deserves the same treatment.

I have predicted he will not live to see the end of the year. But... Now I’m thinking they’ll keep him pumped up with the blood of virginal children to stretch out his rotting corpse when the mid term campaigns start.
“DO IT FOR JOE!”

Well then you’d better start writing, Joe, cause you haven’t got long on this earth. Now you really have to start working instead of taking hours’ long naps.

You are a better person than me.
