(129,021 posts)This made me cry - the Hortmans, and seeing that little urn for Gilbert, and Joe Biden paying his respects. So much goodness in the midst of Trump's wreckage.

(3,331 posts)My first reaction to this story was pride in Joe Biden a kind and decent man; thanks for decent people like Biden and the Hortmans; and deep sadness at the loss.
Then I became very, very angry at Txxxx and his cult who have no decency, no goodness, and no humanity.
Im 80 and live near DC. If Im alive when Txxxx dies and if he lies in state in the Capitol, swear Ill sneak a bottle of piss into the rotunda and smash it on him.
