45. What are you even talking about?! Biden "retired" because his son Beau freaking died!

Joe was absolutely gutted. Also, he and his son’s family were were so freaking strapped with medical expenses that Joe & Jill were going to take out a loan against their own home. Anybody remember that?

And who stepped up to rescue the Bidens? Barack Obama, that’s who! It was all over the news once other people found out. Those men are like brothers.

None of this is even making sense!
