I have a relative with the same cancer so it's going to be rough hearing people celebrate the pain he's in. probably should just avoid comments for a bit.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I work in hospice, everyone's journey is different. As you hear things (some people share stories intending to be well meaning) try to let it slide off. Focus on your families and your needs, and know that there are resources available for assistance and support (social workers, spiritual needs, etc.)
Thank you
Good luck to you and your loved ones, and hopefully you can avoid the comments.
I hope he lives long enough to see Trump fall apart.
Hopefully his last days are peaceful and without a Trump in his mind.
I envy everyone who died before June 14, 1946 who never had to ever possibly think of Trump
He’s going to live long enough to see America fall apart
Doubtful considering how aggressive the type of cancer is, and it already spreading to the bone.
Why? He helped him get into office.
The populace and the DNC did that. Biden would’ve rather retired to his farm where he could’ve sniffed his grandchildren’s hair in peace for the rest of his days.
Running for reelection is the strangest retirement plan I've heard of, but you do you.
If his plan was to run initially he would’ve done it straight away. He came back because he knew the only thing that could beat Trump (excluding an actual populist leftist candidate which the dnc vetoed), was an old white guy. Safe pair of hands. Similarly the dems had no one else inspiring and weren’t going to throw away the incumbent old white guy bias. Probably would’ve won if it weren’t for the debate gaffe. People aren’t paying attention.
Poor Joe. I will miss his casually racist "gaffes", his rampant war crimes, and his destroying the entire western world order. Lets not speak ill of him now folks.
The US was also diagnosed with aggressive ass cancer. Coincidence?
Stage 4 Covfefeoma
Stage 9*
The prostate isn't ass cancer but I get the sentiment
So this is why the tell-alls are coming out now
What's scary is that knew he had cancer back in his first presidency. He never should have ran for a second term because he knew he'd die before seeing the end. We could have had a real primary to pick who would be in the ticket, but nope.
