Wishing him all the best. I have seen quite a few men die to that disease (no one dies of prostate cancer but it spreads really fast and to really bad places).
Good luck Biden.

I wish Joe well. Terrible thing to have to deal with.
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.

My MAGA father-in-law also has prostate cancer. I bet dollar to donut he's going to be positively giddy hearing this news.

This is why after 60, I’m not going to try to be president. I’m retiring. Guy spent the last few good years he had stressed out running the country when he should’ve been playing bingo and sitting on a beach.

This is sad. Taking into account of how he was treated by the DNC and how 2024 went down, this is just the shit cherry on the shit sundae.
The DNC made him their king in 2020 in order to prevent a Bernie presidency. In return, biden refused to step down until it was too late in 2024, fucking up the whole primary process. To this day, biden thinks "I'm the guy who can defeat trump" when he was carried and dressed up entirely by the DNC, big media, and trump's shitty handling of covid. He's an absolute asshole whose entire political career has only made the country worse overall. A sprinkling of good things like a tiny bit of student loan forgiveness (loans that exist because of the work he put in decades ago forcing student loans to persist through bankruptcy) does not absolve this asshole of the massive amounts of damage he's done.
