Somehow I don’t think you are joking. 😢

Ugh, first that kid only getting his ear and now THIS?

do better

This is why some religions point themselves before the praying starts.

I mean, given the fact that this affected Joe Biden up until this announcement, and no medical examiner announced it previously, it does seem plausible.

I would bungee jump on them.

Fuck these down voters.

I've seen what chemo does to young, healthy people. Joe ain't that.

I don’t disagree that there is a strategy of downplaying not just Biden’s, but every politician’s health conditions.

I used to have this absolutely incredible writing professor, who, at 85, told us on the first day of class that he was dying, and had been for 4 years. He even had a blog about his reflections on mortality that he invited us to read. He had prostate cancer. I don’t remember the details, but they couldn’t operate to remove it or do chemo, but it was the kind that is hormone sensitive. They gave him a drug that destroyed his body’s ability to produce testosterone, so the cancer just stopped growing. He died at 90 - 9 years after his diagnosis. 10% extra life for him.

No two people and prognosis’ are alike but the possibility exists they might be telling the truth about managing it.

Toward what end? I don't think you're thinking this through.

I mean, we know his health report was a sham. The dude reported that Trump only has like 5% body fat. Even the most shredded body builders struggle to hit 5%.

This is so like medieval times where we just are praying that the king dies.

He won't ever get cancer or get sick or catch a disease. He will be "poisoned by the radical left" and Maggots will say "they've gone too far" and calls to ban the party from the shithole MAGAs will come out along the words "treason" being thrown out there.

If he goes the fuck away from old age (which is more likely based on how reality works) he will be "assassinated."

No matter how his end will be, there will be calls to prosecute and execute "traitors responsible." If he does become president for life the "traitor" will be coincidentally the candidate on the opposing party. That's if by that point if we even have elections a anymore. He could be geriatric in a fucking wheelchair and they will say this mark my words.

Because they know after trump they will be utterly fucked to legally be elected back to power. (At least I hope)

Wait I thought he was built like an NFL all star

It has already metastasized in his bones, so it's much more aggressive than most prostate cancers. After metastasizing there, the 5-year survival rate is about 33% with a median survival time of 21 months. But it's also very rare for it to have already spread elsewhere before being caught, so I'm assuming that means that this is even more aggressive than normal and that 21 months would be optimistic. But I'm not a medical professional, so I can't say how valid this assumption is.

yes, but for most of those men it's a cancer they die with, rather than one they die from.

its slow growing from what ive heard, but biden had a aggressive type, which would be different, since aggressive types usually have different mutations and genetics compared to the "slow growing ones". even with something like melanoma, there are more than one type: nodular, subungul,,,,etc. some cancers can be indentified by the type of gene mutations they have thats specific to that cancer

I know it's possible, but I also get the impression he's going to outlive all of us somehow.

What if I stick my finger up my ass? Can I check it myself? Cause I just can't afford the doctor bill. I heard about the guy that took out his own appendix. I feel like this is a little bit less invasive and a little kinky. What do you think?

He probably got a dirty ass.

"Put his body in a tank for my parade."

Lol

If that's the case he was even more wrong about running than everyone assumed.

So glad he wanted to run for a second term then, especially after promising to be a one term president. /sarcasm

This was exactly my first thought.

And if so, that’s a double “fuck you” to Joe and everyone on his staff trying to keep this shit under wraps.

He should have just resigned the goddamn Presidency when he was first diagnosed JFC

he had covid, at that time too.

That makes it worse not better...

if you're going with "regardless", might as well add that none of us will "make it'. spoiler alert, we all die at the end.

Yeah it seems fundraising is more important to the DNC than improving the country. But then again the people who pay big money to politics aren't happy with a better country. That would mean less wealth for them and more dignity fir everyone else.

They were being kind.

-calmyourtits.jpg-

No

These types of people are not really kind to poor brown Arabs. Go watch like cartoons or something.

So kind. I kindly ask him to die and rest in piss.

Oh weird, so it wasn't a constant stream of weapons provided with stamped approval by the admin? It wasn't that the only time they threatened to stop it was only a very specific type of heavy bomb, not any other munitions? It wasn't the Biden admin who initially rejected the terms ceasefire until deep into the conflict? It wasn't the Biden admins ceasefire plans that were accepted and abandoned by Trump, proving that if they had provided full throated support of those plans it could have very reasonably happened a year sooner?

Best thing you can say about this fuck was that he was the white guy they used to get Obama elected, cause they figured no one would vote for him unless he had a token cracker.

What planet are you on?

Are we even sure he actually knew he was doing that? I wonder if he even knows he has cancer.

As a reminder, the claim that Hamas built a command center under Shifa Hospital comes solely from the IDF. They have rejected offers to have an international delegation of journalists freely roam the area to verify the claim.

As another user pointed out, there's no basis for those claims other than IDF press releases, which is literally the party that's doing the bombing. Not crazy reliable. But let's say they're not lying, or wrong. Let's say that enemy combatants are holed up underneath all schools, all hospitals, all churches and mosques, and 90% of residential buildings in Gaza (writing it out like this makes it sound really fucking stupid and unbelievable, but let's entertain the thought anyway).

In the case that medical facilities are used in acts harmful to you, they become legitimate military targets under international humanitarian law. However, when you do bomb such facilities you have a number of responsibilities, including preparing a contingency plan and getting full medical service (such as cancer wards, maternity wards, and so on) up and running as soon as possible. If you don't, you're right back in war crime territory. And Israel hasn't.

But aside from legal stuff, just ask yourself on a moral level if you're okay with this. If your mother is taken hostage in a bank robbery, would you be okay with the police dealing with this situation by blowing up the entire building? I personally wouldn't, but I guess it's conceivable that you would respond by saying "the robber did the hostage taking, the cops had no other choice, and the only one to blame for my mother's death is the robber".

All of this is all hypothetical of course because there's actually no reason to believe that all hospitals, schools, places of worship, residential buildings, and refugee camps are all valid military targets. Because what moron would believe such a thing based entirely on what the party doing the bombing is saying?

When will the left learn that the president has to be pro genocide and have no plan to ease the upcoming financial suffering of young people. The left simply wants too much

The real problem was the Democratic party making tactically poor move after tactically poor move. They were too obsessed with imperial support of Israel to do the right thing for US interests and the voters. They were too "anti-communist" to consider not banning TikTok and alienating younger voters. They were willing to cede the narrative to the right constantly. They refused to give the left any progressive policy goals to chew on despite us yelling about how much all of this would fuck with turnout.

For the past 2 years, they thought corporate ads and ultraconservative libs would win the election, when that wasn't what helped them in the midterms, hasn't been the playbook in decades, and was just what let them hang out with their "good ole Republican friends" who they really wish they could ally with like in the 90s. It was a load of interpersonal bullshit, purposefully engineered by the ruling class to ensure the Democratic leadership would never sacrifice capitalism for liberal democracy's sake.

I'm tired and disgusted of this "blame the left" narrative, especially since plenty of liberals could tell that this was the Democrat's biggest issue for quite a while. They never did anything to address it because the fix wasn't easy. They went with the easy solution and expected voters to pick up the slack. That's not how electoral politics works; Lazy, irresponsible bastards

this is exactly the garbage a israeli or superpac bot will say. why does the blue maga never whine about ultrarich and aipac ? they influence our elections a million times more than anything else. warren was going to be vp and would have been president today if superpacs wouldn’t have forced their puppet harris on us who got destroyed in the primaries. and aipac, lol we all know saying anything other than israel is the true messiah is the death of any politician carrier or even an actual death.

Oh right I almost forgot that the standard for president of the United States means not fucking everything up, not acturally doing anything good. Forgive me for expecting anything from the corrupt corporate elites or the superpacs that fund them. Im sure another four years of incompetent Democratic rule where they do absolutely nothing will really convince the American people not to vote far right. It worked for Carter, Clinton, Obama and Biden.

The American public is pretty stupid. I'll give you that. But I think we also give too much credit to Russia. All capitalist countries Fuck with elections. But I think it's the politicians that pay Russian elements to do their nefarious operations. The world of computer hacking is a mixture of supposed good guys and criminals. It's a great market and the people that have the most access to this is people with money and who have power. The lines are truly blurred.

Do you think you're blameless? Do you think you're innocent?

“Move?!”

You make it sound like moving houses. Just pack your shit and drive off. Most countries don’t want us, especially if someone wasn’t born lucky enough to be able to go to college, and has some formal education. Even if that was easy, it’s fucking EXPENSIVE. thousands of dollars. A lot of us are barely getting by, and a lot more don’t have the luxury of spending thousands to go to another country. And all that, to move to a place where you won’t have citizenship without lots of work, and hell, If facism takes over that country I’ll get kicked out. Not to mention leaving my entire family behind.

All this assumes I’m moving to an English speaking country, otherwise I’ll have a language barrier at the same time I’m trying to rebuild my entire existence in a new place with unfamiliar culture.

There’s probably so much more. It’s not impossible, but for me it’s not feasible at this time. I desperately wish it was.

Edit: sorry if I came off as a dick here, it’s just frustrating seeing the thing I want so bad (to leave) simplified so much. Especially if you didn’t grow up here.

I am trying to talk my husband into moving. I can probably land the job in the EU I am interviewing for, but he does NOT want to move. He doesn't want to leave the small amount of community we have. He doesn't want to overreact in fear to this administration. He doesn't want to give up our home and our lifestyle (the EU pays substantially less across many industries). Our parents are getting older and sicker; it's hard to move abroad when you know there's probably only a handful of years left with them, especially when you have children.

I think the Internet discounts how difficult it can be to uproot.

Skills and education? Most Americans have neither of those things. We are a disposable people and that’s exactly what the corporate slaveowners want. We can’t escape because we are less valuable to other countries which means it’s easier to exploit us. What are we going to do about it, kill our masters? That’s not nice.

The captain of your sinking country is throwing citizens overboard, and you remain in line? Move!?

Hahahahahahaha... you sound like one of our republicans.

I work as a biomed, a sector of repairing medical equipment that is a sought after career field, desperately needed. Been doing it for five years, and I like to think I'm damn good at my job.

I also only have an associates degree.

There are not many countries that will take me with only that associates degree. It's like I tell conservatives who do the "Don't like it, move", being from the US isn't some special wonderful status that gets us open doors into other countries. Other countries don't want us like the Republicans don't want foreigners from other countries, unless they're wealthy.

Outside of a few essentially third world countries that I could save up a few grand and bribe my way into, there really aren't any countries that are too keen on accepting Usians for citizenship. You might have better luck if you have a doctorate and speak the local language fluently.

I had a buddy that expatriated to South Korea years ago to teach English, but I think last time I checked in he was still juggling work visas and had no real chance of being a citizen.

I could be wrong though, I haven't checked in on him in a while.

I'm working on my plan.

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.

Trump has imposed sanctions on the ICC, the International Criminal Court, because they ruled against Israel.

This has actively harmed the ICC in their mission.

USAID was feeding Gaza, Trump has ordered the food to rot in storage rather than disburse it.

And there are dozens of other things that Trump has gleefully done to specifically hurt Palestinians.

While the lesser evil was bad, the greater evil is so much worse.

ooh shit you're right, Harm reduction is evil.

I'll be sure to tell that to the millions of families that have needlessly died since Trump stepped on the genocide gas because it's all just numbers right?

I've seen zero people supporting genocide.

Nope: O

You know what's really classless? Biden sending billions in weapons to a country committing genocide. Also the crime bill. Don't forget about making student loan non-dischargable through bankruptcy, creating the student loan crisis. We have Biden to thank for all these "classy" acts, plus him being so starved for power that he dropped out too late and gave an advantage to the trump campaign.

I don't mind. It's true and important for the future of everyone. Biden's fucking around at the beginning of the last election cycle helped getting the current authoritarian who ignores the constitutional separation of powers elected. I also wish the shooter had hit, that's also classless. The personal fates of these two old dudes are almost insignificant compared to their effects on the world, and I think accordingly.

Who the fuck talked about trump in this post? Why do we always need to say “oh yes but Hitler was worse” Yea, no shit sherlock. God damn.

To conservatives, "handling" a region where the population is a different skin color and religion is removing it. So—if you asked Trump's supporters, you would get an enthusiastic "yes" as a response.

This also may explain some of the cognitive stuff being so acute in the last year.

I'd vote for Biden's prostate cancer as Pres over Trump

He's still a total dumbass not to have accepted his fate as a one term president from the get-go, dip and give the Democrats the usual amount of time to choose a successor rather than the truncated run Harris made.

I'm satanic and so I've got it on good authority that he'd do a damn fine job. Plus free cover to his club, full nudity is permitted, full public sex is encouraged. Main talking points are all that other stuff like saving humanity, body autonomy, protection for marginalized people... and the club access and sex...

Does Trump's plan include any of this? I rest my case. :P

the devil (the first archangel)is actually smart, compared to trump.

Translation:

Did his team try use America's racism and sexism to protect America from the consequences of its rampant racism and sexism?

I'm fine with that, the other side doesn't mind cheating.

Why not both? Plus, he could have condemned backing isreal, regardless of what congress voted to do.

They also seem to think the conflict/occupation started October 7

Biden had the same foreign policies towards Israel as every president before him but the progressives decided it was too much now… and we’re still waiting for them to do something.

Russians found America's greatest weakness:

Most of us are pathetic whiners who will use any excuse to not actually do something meaningful.

Give them a chance to whine online, they'll put up with LITERAL fascism.

They used the exact same techniques to steer the GOP towards their evil dixiecrat core.

but never the Congress that approved foreign aid to Israel,

You may have forgotten Biden broke US law by going around Congress to provide arms to Israel...

For the second time this month the Biden administration is bypassing Congress to approve an emergency weapons sale to Israel as Israel continues to prosecute its war against Hamas in Gaza under increasing international criticism.

https://apnews.com/...

Or maybe you never knew?

but never the Congress that approved foreign aid to Israel, never the Republicans who this very moment are trying to remove the Palestinians from Gaza

Of course I blame all of those people too, what the hell are you talking about? They should all be tried and hanged in a Super Nuremberg. The only tragedy in Joe Biden's cancer is that he won't live to face justice for the atrocities he committed over his long and comfortable life. I have hope that all the monsters in congress and both party apparatuses will hang one day.
