You mean personal loss like that suffered by black students at the hands of Biden the Segregationist and his 40 year career of bigotry? Like this kid surrounded by Dems screaming threats at my high school, the folks Biden built a career on? Voted in by 81 million hypocrites.

Joe Bidens entrenched experience has held him in good stead through out his entrenched career

Yes lifetime of being a political icon that is a socialist! Far left things are happening already! He’s not even close the middle.

When your fake news you can say anything. I'm training pigs to fly

Experience? What experience? So far that experience has alienated most of the country, destroyed jobs rather than create them, forcing us back to foreign countries for energy, allow boys into girls restrooms and locker rooms like what kind of experience are you into?

Left leaning NPR. you’re dillusional. Biden is a pawn for the Democratic Party and not mentally fit to be the leader of the USA. Biden is a career politician and has no understanding of what working class Americans have to experience.

no they are just what are called “dumb-as-fuck” and there is no way 81M people voted for him.

The distance between the character of one man who sat in the WH and one now the sitting President must be measured in light years. It's unfathomable.

And he hasn’t done nothing for 47 years except get rich

chickilopiccolo People tend to want politicians to adopt policy positions & stick to them for life. Biden & Harris are the opposite of those politicians. They evolve. It's what swayed me. The ability to evolve is overlooked & undervalued. Yet it's what always makes America great. Embrace it.

Good Lord NPR, at least *try* to hide it.

'New appreciation?' We have to keep reminding ourselves that we ordered them & they came in.

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💙♾

Especially if he Releases Leonard Peltier

actually he didn't win the election. Trump lost the election. Any person would have won because the plan was to get everyone else to vote against Trump. also using your child's death for sympathy from voters is despicable.

Yayyy, career politician. That’s exactly what we need.

President Biden has experience horrible loss. Many times over the Chinese forgot to pay 10% to the Big Guy and had to be reminded.

Experience of non achievement

His handlers will never allow real reporters to question him. He will never be allowed to speak w/o a teleprompter. A backstage committee runs our country.

Oh God. Defund NPR now. Now.

Come on man, give us a break !

Joe Biden has a lifetime of failure, including his failure to win a fair election.

Also a dementia patient kind of reminds them of their grandpa

Joe Biden has the WORST record on immigration in history. All he said was, “I’m sorry” and now liberals will pretend to own Hispanic people. And pretend republicans will deport us.

Dumbest thing I’ve read in a minute

Dead people don’t have appreciation or experience. They’re dead.

I can personally attest to the value of a lifetime of experiences both positive and negative and he seems to be able to carry on quite well. I hope I am doing as well in 20 years when I am his age.

Yes he is a experienced ws ra*ist who d*signed and wrote the crime bi*l of 94 that started the mass incarceration of Black men there are 500,000 Black men behind bars today. more than some countries have women

Experience in what? to keep people down? to not give tangibles to Black people?

Thank you, nprscottsimon

So he is or isn’t privileged? I’m confused

Lol, get off his dick. He’s been garbage since 1973

Yay, unbiased reporting. So refreshing.

I swear these people are gonna be the ones to allow Biden to not fulfill his promises....

We are also using how to use grief for political gain

Experience doesn't really mean much when he's a fucking ghoul who is just polite about it

Yes, all that money he got from China and Ukraine tells us a lot.

People need to be accountable for themselfs! No president or goverment can change the actions of any person.if you are broke then dont have kids! Even if you have money look at the world! Too many people and everyone complaining. Lames

Thats funny shit right there... It proves democrats are not above putting a lifetime liar, a racist, and criminal in the office of the President.

More heartwarming prooaganda....maybe you can do a piece on the Hunter Biden investigation?

Lame. Seriously lame......

biden bad, trump bad, biden bad, trump bad and so on and so on

47 years of doing nothing but lying

“a new appreciation for experience”......what does this even mean

Opinion: The people who just elected Joe Biden like Joe Biden

2 days into his administration and people and states are regretting his election.

😂

Joe has a big 💟

He has done nothing in 47 years!

COMPASSION AND RESPECT ARE TWO INGREDIENTS THAT HELP TO BUILD ENTHUSIASM AND TRUST AT A TIME WHEN PEOPLE FORGOT IT EXISTED AND OTHERS THAT LONG FOR IT! EXPERIENCE IS THE FROSTING ON THE CAKE!!!!🗽🇺🇸🌈🦅

Yeah. Turns out not knowing anything about politics does not qualify you to accept the highest political position in the country. Surprise, surprise.

He’s got dementia

When do the kids on the border get to leave the cages and re unite with their families?

Are you going to suck him off for four years?

Nope. Contacted the Kremlin yesterday morning.

Wait, let me find it...oh here it is 🎻

The corrupt corporate media's sickening love fest with all things left and Dem rolls on.

Biden/Harris Covid Death Count 15855 and climbing

Hey at least boys can use the girls bathrooms again and win against them in sporting events

This is one of the most important elements of JoeBidens character. Of most self-aware people's characters. To suffer greatly, and do the processing, adds a wisdom and compassion that is wholly lacking in those who have not walked that path

Just the basic acknowledgment of the ongoing suffering of humanity, empathy for the loss of life, and counsel for the country on how to stay safe until mass vaccination is enough. I have to take care of my life and family everyday no matter who is President.

Ah the blue pill

'The Americans who elected President Biden' is a very conspiracist way of saying 'the Americans who voted for President Biden'. Please don't feed the trolls, .

His lifetime of experience does not change the fact he’s going to be an awful president.

Pace yourself, you got 4 years to suck him off.

Lifetime grift.

He has no empathy for millions of suffering Americans right now.

For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though there were realities, and are often even more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are.' -- Niccolo Machiavelli, 'Discourses on Livy,'Chapter XXV

How u figure,God not with him

A lifetime of fondling little girls. Don’t forget that.

24% of Americans voted for feeble Joe.

Please ask President Empathy why children are still in cages

Nah, Biden was the lesser of two evils. Plain and simple. Any decent republican would have beaten him.

sandy_faison 'The Americans who elected President Biden may have a new appreciation for experience, and the way personal loss can stretch and strengthen a human heart.' That sounds nice. Of course, it's got precious little basis in reality but still . . .

The people didn’t vote for Biden, they voted against Trump! That best be remembered when setting policy!

Your obsequiousness is vile. Absolutely vile. It is a form of gaslighting. It is rank propaganda. You don't deserve the tax dollars of half of America.

He has dementia,

Yes going from batshit-crazy to “experience” is a big difference.. it almost makes the corruption and racism seem to just be second nature

Yeah - I agree with this.

'...and the way personal loss can stretch and strengthen a human heart...' Hopefully, among the survivors of the 417 thousand people who have died due to Covid-19, those who didn't vote for POTUS, also share this same appreciation & take heart.

You weren't saying these nice things when the Soviet chose a leader this old.

I think it’s more likely the Americans who voted for Biden did so mainly because he wasn’t Trump. This past election was an anti-Trump election.

Archimedius cringe

Poor senile joe doesn’t even know what he’s signing

Democrats desperately need to push President Biden‘s agenda the same way Republicans push through supreme court justices. It’s time to grow a pair and say...FuckTheFilibuster

Swamp things only experience is that he knows how to get re-elected. He hasn’t worked in 50 years yet so many think he knows so much about those of us who do work. Experience comes from doing, not from standing on the sidelines.

So like y'all know this is the crime bill guy right

Yes! Americans LOVE having a Competent HUMAN for a President.

I relate to him. Heartbreak and all.

Personal loss of a great President for a Dementia poster child.

Uh, salute the marines?

That’s great but I’m waiting for the $2000 that was promised. A stand alone bill is possible. Since the Democrats control the House and Senate, it should be a quick solution.
