Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his personal office Sunday, and it has spread to his bones.

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement said.

    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.

    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

    I wish I had well-wishes to give. But Biden losing the republic because of his own hubris makes it difficult to care what trials and suffering lay in his future.

        Man, I’m usually one of the people on Lemmy who is, at least, defending that the Dems are not the core problem. I’m very vocal that the failure of the 2024 election was fundamentally a failure of the American people, wherein 1/3 of the country voted for fascism and 1/3 said they didn’t fucking care.

        But we lost by a small margin, and Biden choosing to stay in until it was clear that he could not command the confidence of the party - which was past the point when a primary could have been reasonably held - contributed no small amount to fucking us.
