How terrible to lose a son. I can’t imagine it.

I lost my son this year, un expected. I think the Biden jokes have just ended from here on out.

My first wife died two weeks before her 42nd birthday, on the day after the anniversary of my father’s death. She had a heart attack.

A lot to admire about Beau Biden. I’ve met him, very likeable, Iraq War veteran, and he had the good character to refuse appointment to his father’s senate seat. I am very sorry for the entire family.

One factoid that never gets mentioned: in the 1972 Christmas tragedy, immediately after Joe was unexpectedly elected to the Senate, it wasn’t just the Democratic leadership (Mike Mansfield in particular) that implored Joe to be sworn in as senator; it was President Nixon who also played a decisive factor in getting Joe to take the oath of office, notwithstanding the fact that Joe had just defeated a key Nixon ally in the election, J. Caleb Boggs.

Nixon’s human side rarely gets an honorable mention.

Seriously?

I’ve got beach-front property in Nevada - interested?

I was just thinking about Mr. Confettiman a few days ago and how sad it was that he went like that. Don’t know what made me think of it.

I met him once at a fundraiser. He was a humble, down to earth guy. He even joked that he knew that the only reason I was at the fundraiser was because a mutual friend asked me to be there. May he rest in peace.

You are despicable.
Every bit as loathsome as anything you claim to hate.
I hope to Hades you are just a lib troll.

No one should die of cancer. I’ve had three brothers pass away from it, one from brain cancer. I hope that Biden was right with the Lord before he left this earth. He was a pro-abortion “Catholic” his entire life, exactly like his father. And what does the Catholic Church do for him on his passing. He of course gets a Catholic Mass in his honor and send off. This reminds me so much of the repugnant Ted Kennedy and the hero worship shown to him by the Catholic Church on his passing.

Just another black mark on the Catholic Church, giving this pro abortion, pro-queer marriage liberal a Catholic funeral. And what makes it even worse all the major cable networks are carrying these travesty live, even Fox News. Total BS of the first degree.

And yet a woman who got a divorce from a totally abusive husband and remarried is denied communion by the church! How hypocritical.

“And yet a woman who got a divorce from a totally abusive husband and remarried is denied communion by the church”.

Just like hypocrite democrats, women in this situation go up for communion all the time. Are the pro-aborts supposed to go up? No. Are the remarried without an annulment supposed to go up? No. But both still do. And both should not.
