....Biden gave Pope Francis a coin in memory of his deceased son Beau and a handwoven garment from a historic Washington church during his first visit to the Vatican since taking office.

Biden, the second Roman Catholic American president, said the coin was inscribed with his home state of Delaware and the 261st Signal Brigade that his son Beau Biden served in.

Beau died of brain cancer in 2015...

The Miami media is making this the highlight of Sleepy's photo-op with the communist from Argentina.

Ever known anyone who uses their deceased spouse/child/sibling? I have. When one uses it constantly, it becomes obvious that it is no longer about the lost one but about garnering sympathy.

There’s nothing wrong with giving the Pope the coin. What’s wrong is that it wasn’t done privately and kept that way.

There’s about a hundred million victims of communism that Francis can gift a memento of in return.

What is wrong with Biden? He went too far!

Obama would have given the pope a collector’s set of “ The Color Purple” DVDs

Any gift should acknowledge “The People of the United States”...not from Joe’s personal life.

Having been diagnosed with major depression at one point in my life, that took many years to overcome - I’m recognizing all the symptoms in this president. His almost constant ruminations of Bo, as well as fictions he seems to believe true (”honest to God”) and repeats ad nauseum, all point to a ruminating cycle of negative thought, anxiety, self-pity and detached reality. The more he ruminates on those thoughts, the vicious cycle continues and leads to continued anxiety and depression and feeds into the Alzheimer’s narrative that is more credible by the day. I hate watching the mental collapse of any American leader (”What am I doing here?”), but it’s inevitable. He’s no longer the slightly daft “uncle Joe” gaff machine he always was - he’s in a full-blown melt-down of inescapable mental illness that needs to be addressed by invoking the 25th amendment to the constitution.

Two career criminals hobnobbing. When President Trump gave his 2020 Christmas Message he was acting more Papal than Bergoglio and more Presidential than Sloppy Joe.

“Any gift should acknowledge “The People of the United States”...not from Joe’s personal life.”

Since it represents both, it’s easier for him to defend. Not that I like it.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a used crack pipe and one of Hunter’s more raunchy paintings.

So, Biden gave the pope a coin. Commemorating himself (er, his dead son - who served in Afghanistan (for a few days) before being kicked out of the service for drug use (?). Well, Kennedy at least - who was a sacrileges adulterer and medical drug addict himself.

Might be the first money Biden has donated in years.

And his massed media is promoting it like the publicity stunt it actually is.

But Trump -who IS pro-life - tweated mean phrases! And was cursed by this pope.

“his dead son - who served in Afghanistan (for a few days) before being kicked out of the service for drug use (?). “

That was Hunter, not Beau. Beau served in Iraq for a year

And an empty box to commemorate his daughter of whom he rarely speaks.

One of Bathhouse Barry Soetero Obeyme’s first acts after occupying the white house was removing the bust of Sir Winston Churchill from the oval office.

In meeting the royal family in a visit to UK he presented a gift of a USB thumb drive to the queen containing several hours of his “best” speeches.

Narcissism, hubris, overt hatred over the crown’s involvement in taking and controlling the lands to be known as Kenya, where his father was radicalized against western culture you decide.

I can’t imagine, as a white male with nearly 1,000 years of family history behind me, the shame and horror of a superior culture taking over, removing me and my people from a life of hand to mouth subsistence, oral traditions without written language, parasitic infestations, grass huts, forcing sanitation, literacy and life-saving medicine upon us.

The horror.

Good call on that. Biden’s “grand gesture” was wholly inappropriate!
