OP
Biden is so *real* - that's the only word I can think of to describe him.

I'm a mess right now listening to him.
*Edited to add. No one will ever speak of the current occupant of the WH this way. EVER. That must feel horrible...and it should.

THAT is going to piss off the Orange Puke like nothing ever will.
Because when Obama speaks, there is a great deal of emotion, pause, reflection in each and every word. His words uplift and console at the same time.
Joe Biden's Eulogy was profound indeed.

(16,786 posts)13. I noticed Biden's ire directed at Trump.....
When he mentioned of John McCain in refference to Respect, Honor, Integriy, and Character....all the attributes Trump lacks.
