Biden’s office announced his illness Sunday afternoon.
You must log in or register to comment.
I wish him ease of his suffering in direct proportion to how much he eased innocent Palestinians suffering. Seems only fair.
Since this is an opportunity to educate people about health, I will not discuss politics here. :)

If you’re a guy, your urinary tract is stupidly complicated from a medical viewpoint and there’s a prostate beneath the bladder which hydrogenates testosterone (T is produced by the brain) into dihydrotestosterone, produces fluid to mix the seminal fluid with, and generally supports fertility and gender specific phenotype.
-
With progressing age, the prostate enlarges, gets infected with HPV (nearly everyone gets it) and may get bacterial infections (typical ones are E. coli). It may also develop calcinations.
-
Risk is reduced if you live in Asia and eat a traditional menu containing much soy bean products which enables guys in those regions to enjoy several times less prostate cancer.
-
Risk is increased with nearly every urinary tract infection, especially if not conclusively diagnosed and treated.
-
After the age of 40, regularly have PSA (prostate specific antigen) measured from a blood test. It tells how much disintegration and immune reaction is occurring down there.
-
Regularly have ultrasound check-ups done. If there are UTI symptoms, treatment must not occur blindly, but must be followed by observation.
-
If you are young and your home country has medical insurance that covers HPV vaccination, get it while it’s free (because it costs 150 € a dose). If you’re rich enough, there may be a point in getting it later too, especially if you’ve not had unsafe sex (it doesn’t protect after infection). The majority of people get HPV during their lives and approximately 9 strains cause cervical cancer in women and raise the risk of prostate cancer in men. By getting vaccinated against HPV, you protect both yourself and your partners from drawing a ticket in a quite nasty lottery.
-
As long as prostate cancer is androgen dependent, it can be suppressed with an androgen blockade.
-
Yet despite the cancer’s apparent aggressiveness, its hormone-sensitive nature offers a viable treatment pathway, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Prepare yourself for femboy biden!
As usual, old fuckers don’t have to live with the consequences of their (in)actions.
fuck, i prayed for this but it hit the wrong president
No harm done
Tbf, Trump’s health is shrouded in so much subterfuge that you could have gotten the right president but we just don’t know it.
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.
Watch your aim dude!
This is why some religions point themselves before the praying starts.
Ugh, first that kid only getting his ear and now THIS?
do better
When they sending time travellers, they aren’t sending their best. 🤦♂️
biden is a scumbag, always has been pimp for lobbyist and aipac cancer. you murder kids for money this is what he should get and hopefully worse in afterlife.
Fuck these down voters.
Naaa there are just two buttons and both of them can be pressed.
I would bungee jump on them.
When a genocidal war criminal gets a horrific terminal cancer, it is certainly cause for celebration.
RIP BOZO
It is horrifying to see that people here empathize with Genocide Joe.
Thanks, Obama. /s
Well I mean having that disgusting drumpf crawling up your ass daily just seems like it would cause cancer…
Mods here fucking suck almost as much as Joe Biden. Hope they get the same thing he has.
Please don’t wish cancer on people. It’s gross behavior.
🤓🤓🤓🤓
What a hateful and dumb thing to say. What is wrong with you?
🤓🤓🤓🤓
Just banned Ensign_Crab for standing up to a mod’s bullshit too.
Reddit, Lemmy, whatever comes next, it’s always ruined by basement dwelling incel mods. The only difference is these mods love communism without even understanding what it is. Horseshoe theory goes hard.
Right, it’s definitely not the people wishing cancer on others.
It can be both. Many mods on here are just as bad as the regular commenters.
That’s correct yes good job buddy
Have those others tried not being a cancer on humanity?
You’re kind for thinking of me, but that was on another comm and not sitewide. Anyone who wants specifics can message me or check my modlog.
Idk the context but I kind of dig the energy.
They removed multiple comments saying he deserved it for his treatment of Palestinians. So yeah, I hope genocide enablers and defenders get dick cancer.
My MAGA father-in-law also has prostate cancer. I bet dollar to donut he’s going to be positively giddy hearing this news.
Kinda wish this happened on like January 1, 2024, we might’ve had an open Democratic Primary and potentially averted fascism.
Yep but who are they going to bring in? Another Democrat puppet
Like do people remember that when the Democratic Party stopped us from participating in democracy? Then they gave us poopy pants, sleepy, doopy, dumb, dumb, Brandon. Let’s stop lying to ourselves. Neo liberals are a right wing ideology. They work for the capitalist class. We are not in a democracy. America is an imperialist Empire. fascism is capitalism in crisis. We keep moving to the right and this is called the ratchet effect.
Would have changed nothing.
The left would have cried that whoever wasn’t X enough, the right would have rallied around the Second Coming of their True Messiah.
The Russian playbook is now well-tuned to its audience, our morons.
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
When will the left learn that not voting against literal fascists leads to literal fascism where you can’t say shit about genocide without being sent to El Salvador?
Liberals need to learn that voting for do-nothing-democrats lead to worsening conditions for the country’s poor which strengthens the base for fascist support.
Sending billions in weapons to an ethnostate committing genocide counts as fascist. There was no voting against fascism in the last election.
You’re never going to be allowed to vote against this regime. You need to do something else.
Do you think you’re blameless? Do you think you’re innocent?
Do you?
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.
No, everything bad that happens in the US is the fault of Russia. They are the most powerful country on Earth and the puppet masters control everything behind the scenes!
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 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
The last time I voted and did what the liberal told me to do. I elected a president who committed genocide. This whole back and forth with this is just very frustrating because if you really break it all down how the United States is set up, how our electoral processes work, I mean the power of the executive branch nowadays we’re not really a democracy. Corporations have captured our government. There’s this lady who is a exCIA analyst and she has a book called How Civil War Start and How to Stop Them. Her name is Barbara Walters. She refers to the United States as not a democracy. She is more successful and smarter than me and you.
Joe didn’t commit genocide, but he did provide the ability and protection for the genociders, which is honestly worse in some ways. America wasn’t a proper democracy; mostly a liberal empire where people have no say beyond if they get burnt, or thrown into hell.
The local level was where we could’ve built democracy this entire time, but building up that way for the long game is difficult and wouldn’t have delivered the material changes very quickly. The executive was ensured it would become a dictatorship because the legislature was so incapable of doing basic maintenance thanks to the ever increasing push by the right to achieve anarcho-capitalism at the cost of the very empire that gave liberalism its power.
The capitalists were a bunch of gremlins in an imperial machine who didn’t know how good they had it. Some get to do what they want now, but they’re losing more power than they realize, as now America won’t be the big bad empire it was when they started. Many have assumed it’s capitalism that’s the monolithic evil of history, but if you really look at the realities of the past, if you really look at the realities of America and the USSR, you’ll realize that capitalism was always but a minor force. Empires are the greatest evil in human history, not that Capitalism is better, but it just can’t reach the same level.
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.
Yeah, thats okay I guess.
God had mercy on this genocidal war criminal by giving him a portion of his punishment on earth
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.
What are these comments? You people are vile.
