Biden honors late son Beau in somber Memorial Day message: ‘The hurt is still real’
The Hill ^ | 05/27/2024 | Nick Robertson

President Biden addressed a packed Arlington National Cemetery to mark Memorial Day on Monday, making somber remembrance of members of the armed forces killed in combat.

“We gather at this sacred place at this solemn moment to remember and to honor the sacrifice of the hundreds of thousands of women and men have given their lives to this nation,” Biden said. “Each one, literally, a link in the chain of honor stretching back to our founding days, each one bound by common commitment not to a place, not to a person, not to a president, but to an idea unlike any idea in human history: the idea of the United States of America.”

Everyone has someone significant who has died and it hurts and can be devastating. That is not the topic of Memorial Day.

I believe Beau was killed fighting along side Sylvester Stallone in Rambo III.

I think Bo-Jo Jr. was in the 82nd Chairborne; got a purple heart for getting splinters up his butt.

I hate to write ill of the dead (but “it’s my duty”). The cadaver insists on polluting the sacred occasion w/ this stolen valor.

Hunter celebrated Beau’s death by “dating” his wife. Very Old Testament.

Biden reminds me of that A-hole who compared his minor kitchen fire he had long ago to the Lahaina Fire killing over 100 people costing billions of dollars of damages.

Who was that dirt bag??? Oh yeah. Joe Biden.

Beau is buried in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Yeah, but only after being eaten by New Guinea cannibals. That's no joke, man.

“who died in 2015 from brain cancer believed to be caused by exposure to toxic chemicals during his service in the Iraq War.”

This is a lie, Joe Biden, the opportunist, is the only person who believes this. absolutely NO evidence exists that toxic chemicals from burn pits causes a Glioblastoma Multiforme. Unfortunately, I am familiar with this brain cancer, my niece died at the age of fifty, she was a principal of a junior high school. My cousin died, he was forty-two a building contractor. A good friend, at the age of fifty-four, he was a real estate developer. There is far more evidence and research done regarding ASPARTAME as a leading suspect. This particular type of cancer is the most deadly, generally strikes younger people and there isn’t any proven cause.

It should be mentioned that Ted Kennedy and John McCain both died of a glioblastoma.

I think you're thinking of Hunter.

Or maybe this grandaughter.

Aw hell. If it is a Biden, Pedo Joe probably had relations with it.

I may get serious flak for this.
Even though we utterly loathe Biden, and we may disagree on this, but he is a human. And unless he is completely devoid of any scrap of human emotion,
I am sure that as a father he does miss his son.

Any other claims that he might make about hi., we can take wit an entire salt mine.

Beau was in Jag in the National Guard. Went to Iraq as a lawyer. Spent his time in an office, not the front lines. Died years after returning home of brain cancer. Biden read an article years later after the fact about burn pits that some scientists speculated could have caused been the cause of death to soldiers in the field who were exposed to them. Biden naturally has since gone with my son died in the war narrative. No one, other than him, has directly attributed his death years later to a burn pit. The science is not settled and scientists are divided on whether burn pits are a cancer cause.

Trump should do something similar...then expose the double-standard in the media.

That would work...if sheeple were awake.

If the republican establishment wanted, they could destroy the POS that is Joe Biden with his decades of lies and corruption.

...but that would expose them to their own POS works...so they won't/don't.

And being a JAG and an officer it is doubtful he was ever near a burn pit

Milking a family death for a few more votes. I can’t think of another politician who has done this so many times with so little shame.
