WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his office said Sunday.

Biden was seen by doctors last week after urinary symptoms and a prostate nodule were found. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone.

“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management,” his office said. “The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.”

    But, even if you put aside what he did with regards to enabling Gaza entirely, he’s still an absolute piece of shit for being the focal element of our sleepwalk into fascism. His hubris is legit at King Lear levels.

      Joe played a very large part in giving us Trump 2.0. Anybody who believes otherwise is delusional.

        There was an episode of Pod Save America where they revealed that Biden’s own advisors has determined that if he ran for reelection, Trump would win with 400 electoral votes. Biden knew about this and he ran anyway.
