    People have got to learn that not knowing something is fine. Why make something up when you don’t know something?

    I don’t know much about the stage categorisation of cancers.

    Why not just say Biden has cancer?

    I know the answer of course. I just wish there were so many other idiots like him.

    I also wish the US were so stupid as to elect him.

      They’re playing the heel so well, that they manage to avoid scrutiny and public-opinion making, even in the jester’s court. Comedy is an invaluable tool for socializing and discussing what ails us all, and these crooks may just be somewhat immune to it.

    This historic period is completely embarrassing … and I’m up in Canada!

    When we read about historic politicians and the things they said 100 years ago, the US had Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. There are political debates about the good and bad things they did but all of them had sensible and meaningful quotes about society, philosophy and government … they were educated in rhetoric and everything they said and wrote came from a base of a lot of education and understanding.

    The US in the 2020s has an 80 year old man who could barely manage the country and a clown that never makes any sense.

    They will laugh at all of us in a hundred years for the stupidity we all put up with in our world leadership.

      Depending on how this all ends, there will be less laughter and more tragic reminders about how fascism came back a second time, with a vengeance.

      I will bet good money that if Biden started getting massive sympathy, Trump is going to say that he has stage 47 cancer in his ear due to being almost assassinated.

        Stage 47 cancer, which some people say is the best cancer. My uncle had stage 47 cancer, so I knows alot about stage 47 cancer! It almost got my uncle assasinated too! So he started developing anti assasination batteries. I have made better batteries though. Batteries so great that if i had one in my boat, and it was sinking, id jump and get eaten by a shark, because the battery would kill me worse than a shark. So i also think Ohio loves me most.

    Uh, duh… They are mocking Biden to emphasize that he’s likely known about it for a long time and like Biden’s cognitive decline, the administration lied about it & tried to cover it up. I honestly feel like you have to be dumb or naive to not realize this. There are plenty of real issues to criticize Trump & his voters about, but this only makes Democrats look salty.

        Yeah of course I realize that, like almost all of the same people you’re criticizing realize it. Sure there are a few incredibly dumb ones… and you could even argue that a majority of them aren’t very smart to vote for an obvious conman, but to take even the most obviously sarcastic statements seriously doesn’t help in your case, nor does it help Democrats when they lose to the people they claim are incredibly dumb. The stage 9 was to emphasize that it has very likely been there for a long time & that Biden has known about it.

          It’s stage 4 with a Gleason score of 9. Your orange god just mixed those up. It’s much easier to say that than pretend he’s playing 5d chess with his words.

            Your orange God.

            Clearly I’m not a fan of his if you can read, but here you are obsessive to the point where you have to lie to even try to make a point. It isn’t healthy for you nor is it healthy for the Democratic party. Younger people & those with actual independent thoughts are going to see your hypocrisy & want nothing to do with Democrats ever. Afterall, it is no longer a secret now how much the establishment Democratic party lied & gaslit using people just like you to lie on their behalf. It was those people, your people, that got us here.

              I just assumed, given how braindead you would have to be to give the defense of Trump you just did, that you were a republican. Maybe I was too quick to judge, you could be a libertarian.

                  your own party

                  I don’t claim the dems as mine, fuck em. What is culty is defending obviously moronic statements made by a wannabe fascist.

                  Also I’m not even calling all Republicans braindead, I’m just saying there’s a level of intelligence that basically guarantees you’re a republican or libertarian.

          When everything he says can be taken as “obviously sarcastic” this argument loses all meaning. All he’s doing is fueling conspiracy. Cancer getting to stage 4 without the person knowing is common enough that it doesn’t warrant conspiracy.

          Honestly? All I see is deflection that you see on every side of the isle. It won’t shock me when it comes out later on how Trump has/had some terrible sickness during his presidency but instead of ridicule and conspiracy from the right side all you’ll hear is how strong he was for dealing with whatever sickness while he was in office, how amazing it is he dealt with it, how brave he was to keep it hidden as to not appear weak. It’s all bullshit. Everything out of his mouth is bullshit. All anyone can do is to keep pointing out how bullshit keeps spewing from his mouth.

            Cancer getting to stage for undiagnosed for someone like Biden would be incredibly rare. In fact, the side effects of the treatment itself would explain much of what we’ve seen with Biden. Also, the administration supported genocide & gaslit and lied to everyone about Biden’s mental fitness, but now you think it is pertinent to trust the genocidal geriatric. The real cancer is in the Democratic party right now with people always gaslighting, making excuses, claiming moral superiority despite showing their lack of morals, etc. If you want Democrats to win they maybe start focusing on how they intend to accept responsibility & correct their issues this time around, rather than projecting & playing histrionics.

              So…if I’m reading your response correctly, you’re all in on the conspiracy, thus, have bought into what the right is feeding. You’re also assuming I trust anything that came out of Biden or his administration as well. To be clear, I don’t. Most every politician is corrupt as hell and I don’t take anything a politician says at face value because most likely the opposite is true. The “real cancer” as you put it is the system as a whole. It’s in every law being passed that allows corporations to donate in larger and larger amounts, to influence politicians, to introduce bills that are clearly only good for them. It’s in the not-slow-enough re-combination of church and state.

              And I mean seriously, you want to point at an administration that gaslights and lies about their candidates mental fitness? Are you blind? Deaf? Both sides do it and its absolutely disgusting behavior. Call it out when and where you see it like the original poster did.
