      He’s not. He’s 80 years old and got going when kissing babies was good retail politics. He whispers to children because he has lost 3 of his 4 children and his first wife and he knows how precious children and families are.

        This hit me pretty hard for some reason. A person sure forgets how easily they dehumanize people in the public eye, until another person so poignantly humanizes them again. Thank you, this was a really nice comment to read.

          Thank you, I looked into the pics and such back in 2008-2010 because Biden has been a public figure doing this forever. That’s what I learned and it pisses me off that people weaponize these photos against low information voters without regard for his actions.

        I did not know that about biden. Now it seems extra cruel how people kept calling him creepy for that. A little context goes a long way. Thanks for sharing that info.

      I also don’t believe they’re all real. Some of them look less credible than others.
