Biden delivers emotional speech before tomorrow's inauguration in Washington D.C.

[shinobi602]

Browsing the different news channels and it just kind of hit me how much shit we've endured the last 4 years, a never ending assault on our psyche and conscience from a man who has no moral compass to get to this point and, despite not being perfect, a person who is at least a fucking human.

Damn it's something.

I'm looking forward to having an adult in charge of the white house again.

 

[KtotheRoc]

This is really getting to him.

 

[AaronD]

Imagine having a president who cares about people who are not himself.

 

[greatgeek]

Awww.

It's understandable.
This is basically the last ride of his political career, all the way to the top, and there's so much of his immediate family that isn't with him anymore to celebrate it.

 

[Ryuelli]

I read "Promise Me, Dad" a few months ago and I can't imagine what this is like for him. The goals and ambitions that he and Beau had for each other were incredible.

 

[Takuhi]

Such a different picture of masculinity compared to that last guy. Can't wait for all the Fox News hosts to try to portray this as him being a pussy.

 

[Temascos]

Despite my misgivings about Joe Biden, I am happy for you all in the USA to have a leader with empathy once again. That may sound like a low bar but it's not, empathy matters.

Just looked it up having never heard of it before. Seems really worthwhile. Thank you.

A lot is riding on this.

Maybe too much.

Also as he himself mentions at the end of the speech (and other people who knew the Bidens have also mentioned), Beau was the one who was supposed to be President.

It sucks he cannot take the Amtrak in tomorrow. It would have been a nice send off.

Dude, the next 4 years it gonna get him way way more. The mess that he has to fix is overwhelming.

 

[RichardHawk]

lol.

Edit: Shit this was supposed to be a reply to the lindsay graham video up there.

 

[geomon]

I'm not crying, you're crying!

 

[RoninChaos]

lol.

Fuck off.

His book about his son really hit me in the heart. It's a tough but good read. Shows who Biden really is.

It's overwhelming if you think one man alone can do what needs to be done. All of us need to step up and help him, in whatever way we can.

Really? He was mourning his late son.

Edit: Ah nvm, saw your edit

 

[Dr. Giggles]

Such a stark difference between him and that orange shitbag. Wish him all the luck while in office.

 

[Sordid Plebeian]

Oh god please, please don't let anything happen to him tomorrow other than getting sworn in

It has been so long, I had forgotten what it was like to have a human being as president

 

[CrunchyFrog]

For the first time today I caught myself phrasing "Trump was" instead of "Trump is." On a visceral level I felt just a tiny bit happier at that thought.

I gotta say-I miss living in Delaware. I loved it there. I would move back from California in a heartbeat if I could.

 

[TaySan]

Whos got the onions lying around? I'm getting teary eyed. : P

 

[Richiek]

This is really getting to him.

He's crying because he's remembering his dead son.

 

[Samaritan]

God it's good to hear a president who's an adult again.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

It just cannot be overstated the sheer value of having a person that isn't petty, blaming others, throwing insults and tantrums during an address to the nation. I just can't believe what we've been through these 4 years.

 

[Strider_Blaze]

It's definitely a stark contrast compared to Trump.

The death of Beau something I still remember quite well. It's especially sad when a parent witnesses the loss of their child.

Yeah, I know.

Good to hear a president that's a human being again.

 

[Deleted member 5359]

If someone told me five years ago that Joe Biden would come out of retirement and become President, I would've said no way.

 

[criteriondog]

Seeing Biden tear up, emotional hits me. He really cares, and it's such a stark difference from Trump, who's only emotion was fierce anger.

 

[Blader]

God, that was low key crushing.
