    Deserved for his treatment of Palestine. Mods will remove this due to cowardice or Zionism or both

    Maybe I’m cynical but I feel like this is suspicious timing to release this information a day after videos of his memory issues in 2023 surfaced. Feels like a cynical attempt by his PR team to change the narrative.

    In all honesty, an 82 year old man having prostate cancer is not very surprising. It is a personal issue and I have sympathy but it’s frankly not important to the world. A US president with memory issues concealed from voters and his own party in 2023 when it could have seriously changed decisions about the Democratic party nominations is surprising. That is an issue for everyone and very important to the world.

      Biden’s PR team trying to change the topic about his health and his track record? Unheard of!

      But yeah it’s not a shock an old man has a form of cancer that affects men more as they age.

      Shame Trump hasn’t had something similar.

        It’s not just Biden s team. Its the entire media consent apparatus build around the DNC that was responsible for Biden being around as long as he was.

        They’re all culpable.

          And then people were mad about “why are they talking about Biden when Trump is unhealthy?!”

          Maybe we don’t want either unhealthy presidents, and only one side would listen to public outcry, and the other wouldn’t listen.

          God damn, America is just fucked. Actual criticism was called unfair, and actual evidence of documented crimes of domestic and abroad was considered things paid for by $BAD_NATION.

          I am a bit salty that one of my favorite people on .world was banned from this community due to a mod getting mad at them refusing to support genocide and proving they voted for Harris.

    I wish him ease of his suffering in direct proportion to how much he eased innocent Palestinians suffering. Seems only fair.

      rigger for burning innocent kids alive and enabling idf snipers shooting pregnant women wearing “shoot one kill two” t-shirts.

      i don’t know mentioning uncountable number of males who were killed for fun or tortured in jail as every adult palestinan is a terrorist.

      biden deserved to be hanged and so does every member of aipac, idf and israeli govt. then in afterlife they deserve to rot in hell for eternity.

      I don’t know about you, but I wanted him to stop working when he was 74 and enjoy the rest of his life with his family like people should be allowed to do much younger than that, not start working again at 78.

      I have absolutely no guilt over what happened at the tail end of his presidency, I tried to keep him from being in that position at all.

      Everyone except big money donors wanted him to retire literal decades ago…

      No one forced him to keep going, we had to fight him to stop well past it was time.

      Like, you don’t think Joe Biden first and last “primary” being 40 years apart isnt a good thing?

      Someone that wasn’t born till five years after his first run could have ran against him in his last.

      The guy won once.

    Crazy, my dad was just diagnosed with the same cancer a few days ago. Not as aggressive, but on the higher end of the Gleason score. Hoping biden continues to live a long and healthy life

    This morning while driving to work I heard on NPR that doctors recommend screenings for people between 50 and 60 years of age. The guy said that older people like 70’s and 80’s have more problems and I missed exactly what the reasoning other than aggravating them with one more problem was for not screening that group actively.

    But you and I know. Its simple! 50 and 60 year olds are still working do they got money. 80 year olds don’t have money. No reason to screen them. Sure the treatments work…kinda sorta. But the treatments are expensive. So if you’re 80 its not important that they find your cancer because they can’t make money from you. If you’re well to do, then sure, we can try our methods. But if you got no money, there’s no point. What are you going to do anyway with no job and no money. Even if you could pay, then what? Sell the car and house and live on the streets? Would that be worse? Not really the doctors don’t care if they got paid. Its all about the money.

    When a genocidal war criminal gets a horrific terminal cancer, it is certainly cause for celebration.
