“We’ll always honor the bravery and selfishness — selflessness of the — and sacrifices of the Americans who served, including my son, Major Beau Biden, who was stationed in Iraq for a year,” he said.

Honor of horror; selfish or selfless; it’s all the same in the weird, addled world of the sick twisted man we call our president.

I posted before, how can his handlers and puppet masters allow Biden to wander around speaking freely in public? Are they recklessly insane? Or on the prowl to get him removed as unfit to lead?

"My son, Beau. Blah, blah, blah, blah..."

" Did I ever tell you about my son, Beau?" "Blah, blah, blah, blah..."

"Me, me, me, me, me...."
