"The entire Biden family is saddened beyond words. We know that Beau’s spirit will live on in all of us—especially through his brave wife, Hallie, and two remarkable children, Natalie and Hunter.

The poster said no man should lose a child so I said, “add moms” to that too. No parent should lose a child.

“These people, serving by choice under the current administration - as well as their families can go to the devil as far as I’m concerned.
They are the mortal enemies of the Republic.”

With a comment like this, you’ll be seeing the devil a lot sooner than they will. Unbelievably snarky at such a time.

No, easier to blame a Drunken Driver like he did about his first Wife’s Accident years ago.

He slandered the other Driver with that comment since there was no Drunken Drier that caused the Accident. I don’t think he ever apologized for his Fairy Tale.

That being said, I wish the Biden Family Peace with God.

Our first reaction is one of great sadness and sympathy at such a tragedy. There are some nasty people about but it is 90% - 10% sympathetic comments.

You can bet if this were a Republican, the opposing forums would have the opposite percentages.

That said, those being nasty, even if a tiny minority, deserve to be called out as you did.

I have learned the most important lesson I ever learned and that is Jesus is the answer. Could not have made it without Him. Thanks.

No one, Parent, Uncle or Aunt, should have to see a young one pass and 46 is now young.

The Bidens have my sympathy tonight.

Prayers for the family.

My husbands youngest brother died of Brain Cancer at the age of 42. Such an awful thing to have to go through.

A handful of comments have been removed. That’s not “a whole bunch of hate” by “a lot of Freepers”. That’s a few uncouth people shooting their mouths off. The vast majority of comments have been very respectful.

This is not the first time he’s lost a child. I believe he lost a little girl and his first wife in a car accident many years ago.
