I dont understand what his protest was for. I'm sure there is extreme emotional duress from losing a child that recently, but what was the goal or message here?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Make Biden look bad.
Made himself look like a fool who cares more about politics than the death of his son to me.
I'd give him a break due to his grieving, but honestly, it's pathetic that he would let his love for his son be manipulated for political points.
He was literally trying to use his son's death to help the man who gave the orders that got his son killed.
Conservatism seems, in my estimation, to be invariably vague in its ideology. Nothing is truly valued beyond the narrative.
The narrative isn't even valued. How many times does Trump say something and then pretend he never said it. Or other members of the GOP say "I don't think he really means that". All that's valued is pissing off the liberals by being arrogant, loud jerks.
None of the people on the right seem to know that Trump negotiated that deal.
Turns out the moderators of this forum are in this group. Read the other comment chains here.
Was his goal necessarily to help Trump?
True, I've assumed too much. It just falls right in that Fox news narrative from 2 years back they were doing a lot.
Guess he's a Russian now too.
