      If he really wants to fuck up Trump’s parade, he’ll die the day before it happens. The news cycle will be on Biden for the next few days and Trump’s ego show will be a pathetic side note.

      luckily the cancer is still hormone receptor positive, meaning it response to anti-hormone therapy, which usually has more favorable outcomes(just like with breast cancer that is susceptible hormone therapy), if it was hormone negative, it implies a more aggressive type of cancer that is harder to treat. but metastasize already lowers your chances(in general prostate cancer is somewhat slow growing) but bidens mustve had a aggressive version that is still susceptible to antihormone therapy.

        Once it’s out that he is getting some kind of hormone-related therapy, the MAGAs will start calling him Trans, saying he was the first Trans president, and the Dems hid it from the world.

        They’ll insist on talking about it, forcing it to eat up media time and resources that should be investigating HitlerPig’s crimes.

            If the Dems would have had a proper primary and campaigned on defined goals instead of nebulous feelings and orange man bad, they could have won.

            The weak and poorly defined platform cost them 6 swing states. They pissed off the Amish and the Arabs, which really hurt them in Pennsylvania and Michigan. They didn’t campaign for the Latino voters very well, which should have been a slam dunk given the deportation platform Trump had, which impacted the swing states considerably.

            The Dems need to seriously rethink their strategy for 2028 or they are going to lose again. 2026 at this point is looking shaky in both directions, so the Dems need to get their shit together immediately if they are going to stop Rep issues progressing into a 2028 victory.

                The goalpost was always win the elections. It hasn’t moved since 2000, Dems just keep trying to redefine how far the endzone is while they field the B team that the franchise owners like instead of solid players the fans want to see.

                  The people just voted for the old racist guy instead of the younger woman.

                  Boy you’re just going in circles now moving goalposts. Ciao.

    And now we enter that awkward period where we’re supposed to show only kindness to someone who’s dying, because they’re dying, even if they’re a horrible fucking person.

    Biden’s support for genocide handed the presidency to Trump, and between those two things, he’s enabled some of the greatest evil I’ve witnessed in my lifetime.

    Fuck you, Biden. You made this world a worse place. The cancer in your ass doesn’t make you worthy of respect or undo the giant middle finger you gave to humanity. Your only value was that you weren’t Trump; take away that contrast and you’re just another evil sack of shit.

    Not the kind of “aggressive pro-state” we needed, but the “pro-state” we deserved.

      Call Schumer. He’s always got a weak message of strength in the chamber. He’ll show that cancer who’s boss (it’s cancer).

    I wonder how many people his support of genocide killed. But we’re supposed to care about him or wish him well? No. I dont think I will.

    So this guy had cancer his whole presidency and wanted to go for a second term? Imagine he had won and then dies at the first 2 months.

    Jesus Christ that’s insane. It’s like he hated the country or something

        There’s a video of Gerald Ford talking to a class of middle-schoolers, and one asks if a women will ever become president, and he says that will absolutely happen, but he doesn’t think the first woman president will be elected. He felt she would be the VP, and the president would die, and she’d succeed him. After that, he didn’t think it would be a problem electing a woman president.

        I thought that was a pretty insightful take on the subject, and probably true.

      And instead you have someone that hates the country and sadly has no cancer…
