Iirc Beau was a National Guard officer and did a tour in Iraq. There was talk of him becoming a Delaware politician but I guess his health was a problem.
Didn't Joe Biden lose a kid when he was young too, in a car accident or something? Tough for anyone to deal with.

First of all, it is truly tragic about his son; I didn't even know he was ill with that d**n disease.
But you opened up the subject of his "facing" the tragedy of the loss of his wife and baby daughter in that accident. An accident that he ran around the country, blaming on a drunk driver, when the driver hadn't been drinking and wasn't even at fault for the accident.
He did what he does best--he lied. And recently, too. He let that poor man go to his grave with Biden lying about him for political points, and he put the man's family through hell.
Joe Biden is and always was a political opportunist with no scruples, and he doesn't care who he mows down along the way.
Sorry your life has made you so miserable that you can only find fault at every turn. When my brother died at an early age, it took the wind out of my Dad's sails. It was a brutal time. It's sad you have to prove yourself as one with no scruples.
My condolences to the Biden family.
You might want to take time away from trolling and read this.
We can study galaxies billions of miles away and map the human genome but we still can't stop something so horrible from happening before our eyes. I wish we, as humanity, would cease all scientific research unrelated to cancer, and spend ten years putting every ounce of effort into finding a cure for cancer. It destroys too many people... From a conservative Christian, my thoughts and prayers are with the Biden family.

Beau Biden was twice elected Attorney General of Delaware, serving from January 2007 to January of this year.

After he was first elected to the Senate, his wife and daughter were killed in a car accident that badly injured both of his sons - weeks later, he took the oath of office in the hospital at Beau's bedside.
That Delahanty post on this thread was utterly disrespectful to the now deceased war veteran on the left, and the grieving father and VPOTUS on the right.
IF indeed he knew full well the driver was NOT drunk, nor responsible for the accident and continued to say or imply that he was...then that is evidence of not having scruples, not an opinion. You can be INVOLVED in an accident and NOT at fault for it.
True, that has nothing to do with his son's death. But it says a lot about the character of a person who would do that. And it's not good.
I don't think it's your place to be be judging Joe Biden's character on this point...anything and everything else, OK, fair game, but not on this point...i.e., his reaction to that unspeakable, personal tragedy, how he dealt with it, his perception of it, etc. etc.
People deal with tragedy & grief in different ways. People mourn in different ways. People deal with their pain in different ways. Grief & pain will color your judgement and reality. When my father died of cancer at 58, I did and said a lot of irrational things. I blamed a lot of people. And that was just my dad. I mean, I loved and continue to mourn my dad, but the passing of a parent can't be as painful as the passing of a child & spouse at such a young age.
I can't imagine my reaction to a spouse and baby dying so unexpectedly in such an accident, leaving me a widow and single parent of 2 (seriously injured) toddlers at age 30. Can you? You think you are so morally superior that you would deal with that tragedy in exactly the correct manner (whatever that even is)?
In his memoir, Biden wrote how he had been so filled with rage that he'd go out walking late at night, in dark & seedy neighborhoods, looking for a fight. How he had started to view suicide not only as a viable option, but as a 'rational' option. How he had had a crisis of faith and found no comfort in the church and in God.
So if he, out of blind anger, grief and pain, chooses to believe that alcohol may have played a part in that tragedy...I think I can give him a pass and a break on that.
That people would use that, at a time like this, to question Joe Biden's character and 'scruples'? That is rich.
