It is difficult to imagine what life has been like for Joe Biden. There are some of us who are close to 50 and haven’t lost a close family member or a friend. We have grieved dogs and it hurts like hell, but we know it’s a fraction of that for a person, not even in the same league. Joe Biden, newly married, a young guy of 29-30, just elected to the United States Senate, lost his wife and daughter on the same day. Try to imagine.

It would break many of us.

Joe picked up and with a heavy heart moved on, and eventually remarried, perhaps she carried him, she’s that good. He lost parents along the way, expected as one gets older. But then the loss of another son, the son who had served and was destined to replace Joe, Beau Biden. So sit back and imagine. On different occasions, Biden has buried a wife and two children. How does he even stand up? He does it by loving and comforting others even more. There’s a reason old Lindsey teared up talking about Joe.

And maybe that’s what made Joe Biden so exasperated yesterday, just not wanting to play the game with Fox’s Peter Doocy. He likely hoped that for just one day – just one – Doocy could put his punk-ass, punked up, questions behind him and just ask for some information and not some kind of “Gotcha, Joe. Now Hannity, Tucker, and Ingraham have something. I’m such a good reporter and not here because my name is Doocy, I was able to get ya!”

Joe put his head down in exasperation because he asked Doocy a question about whether he remembered who made the deal with the Taliban. One could feel the anger in Biden’s answer. He knows what those families will go through for the next few years. And so here is Junior, making fun of Biden because Junior is incapable of feeling love or regret. He doesn’t know what either emotion entails. He left the mother of his five children for the woman that talks s*x openly and publicly. Junior doesn’t know love, respect, grief, empathy or exasperation born of all the above:

And we didn’t find anyone who appreciated it. We know how Trump would’ve reacted. He would not have “felt” anything for the families, only how it impacted him, it’s so “unfair” to him. He wouldn’t really “feel” anything for his own family, except for maybe one, the only woman he’s ever loved, at least since she hit adolescence.

As we said, we found very few that tolerated this well at all:

Wrong. This is what having a President whose beloved son served our country in the military looks like. https://t.co/wt43B5vhFx

We get it, you were raised by a sociopath who never said he loved you, you can stop providing examples

Your despicable father faked bone spurs to avoid military service… If that's not being a weak coward then I don't know what is!

Don Jr is what happens when you don't hug your kid once in a while. When you tell them to suck it up when they get hurt. When you teach them that the only goal in life is monetary. When you teach them winning is everything. When you basically void their life of empathy. https://t.co/rjeJf1PlYj

.@DonaldJTrumpJr, perspective is everything. For most normal people raised with humanity, this is what compassion, empathy, & decency look like. For you & your dad, who negotiated this deal & who hate our Democracy & love what is happening, this is what opportunism looks like. https://t.co/xIquCTycGW

This is what a father who loves his son looks like.

I know you've never seen that. https://t.co/9JfFdBEvFT

These absolute garbage humans see any display of compassion as weakness. Never commiserate, never feel pity, never show humanity. Always be the biggest asshole. Which is the only way these people, without any redeeming qualities or accomplishments, can feel good about themselves. https://t.co/NHcxsXPbgI

You punk of a punk. WTF would tiny men like you know about strength? That old man could whoop your ass anytime. He's got the courage to make the difficult decisions and the compassion to suffer for them. World will see you & your punkass daddy cry 1 day. https://t.co/jqNGhlhjQx

Nope. Weakness is a soft-handed, narrow-shouldered trust fund boy who's desperately compelled to mutilate exotic animals because he thinks it'll make his sociopath daddy love him even though he knows that's impossible. https://t.co/9UjuwzYfCG
