And I feel badly for us that we couldn’t have a second term with him. He led with love, with inclusion, true Christian principles, and championing the working class.
A very old man getting prostate cancer isn't even remotely as serious as most of the things they've suffered and had to endure.
As a person who've felt enormous pains myself, my heart is always with them.
This is so true. Thank you so much for not piling on the “Biden covered up his cancer” garbage that your network, @msnbc.com , is working really hard to perpetuate.
Forgetful sure but to keep pushing this BS is simply the distraction the GOP desperately needed and serves no legitimate purpose other than that. MSM do better!
My doctor once told me that, if you are a man who lives long enough, you will die of prostate cancer. Looks like they think he could go into remission with treatment.
Biden and his family have borne many losses and this will be a crushing blow for them. You see him with Jill and know how deeply they care about each other and their family. He's lived a good life, and I'd give him all the more years he would want. He's a decent man and we were lucky having him.
President Biden has given so much to this country, I am just speechless. I pray for the Biden family… But also let’s all celebrate the man, everything he has accomplished for us, and show him all the appreciation and love that we can.
One of the reasons Biden was such a successful leader us that he & his family have suffered life. In them, it has promoted empathy, sympathy, generosity, love for others.
In the Trump family, life has promoted money & hate.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have completely abandoned her father. Democrats know women voted for Democrat Marianne Williamson because she supports abortion. They both knew he lost the electoral college to Joe Biden.
I have “met” many Democrats and liberals on this website that I am very sick of. They trash Biden, Harris, anyone who isn’t up to their entitled privileged standards. I am fed up.
A huge downside to old age - cancer diagnosis becomes more likely with every passing year. Those who escape a heart attack or stroke from 50 - 75 are probably going to get cancer and/or Alzheimer's Disease as their reward for surviving early old age.
He and his family don't deserve all this flak. Yes, there are things he could've done, more he could've done, but he brought us out of a fucking pandemic. He brought our economy out of a fucking downward spiral. I was never anxious when he was president. Felon 47 makes me stressed every day.
Yes, and many of your friends are piling on - concluding that Biden either knew or should have known before he ran. “Shameless Jake” will no doubt use Biden’s cancer to sell more books.
It's a life of no significance.. no value and will be forgotten upon his last breath eith a world celebrating the Sun that may now be able to shine ✨️ with the clouds disappearance
What’s worse is it’s only a matter of time before any minuscule piece of decency from that orange fool is forgotten and he attacks Joe yet again because it’s literally all that vile piece of shit knows to do
I do too. And having the Sunday NYT today and NY Magazine and the media in general piling on about his aging right before this announcement somehow makes it even crueler.
Lol, you feel bad for a man that will get the best medical attention in the world paid for by your tax dollars? People that worship Democrats are even more embarrassing than Maga.
It feels so personal that a family so many have grown to love has another serious issue with which to deal. Most of us have been thru terrible times and so we feel that sorrow again for the Biden family.
Compounded with so many in the media now blaming #JoeBiden for his elderly age, when it was the Democratic process leaving only him in a bad state and having to make the decision to not run, instead of a democratic committee to make this choice for the party.
Joe Biden knew how to govern. He did a good job. Does anyone still think that pardoning his son, Hunter was a bad idea? What the Corruplicans did to his family took a lot out of Joe.
I'm 2 yrs younger than Biden and just finished treatment for gleason 7 cancer. It was aggressive and could have been in my bones in 2 yrs if not treated.
I don't understand why his wasn't found earlier. I have my psa checked twice a year, which is why mine was found.
I can relate to what he has gone through in his life. Things get better after tragedy but the waves always come and go forever. Godspeed, ole handsome joe and family
Maybe the announcement was timed perfectly. 😏 Who'd want to book Jake now to attack Biden, except maybe CNN?
Btw, I'm not questioning the veracity of the diagnosis, but I could imagine the announcement date might've had some wiggle room. Then again, maybe they aren't as petty as I am.
Oh, and by wiggle room, I don't mean months. I hadn't come across those gross posts yet. Yeesh. I meant a little time to digest it, make plans, and announce it within a couple of weeks. Not f-ing last year. It's metastatic cancer.
Imagine how Drumpf & his MAGAt Repube minions in the House & Senate would be eviscerating Hunter Biden in pathetic & pointless hearing after hearing if Pres. Biden hadn’t pardoned him.
And to think how others with no skin in the game berated Pres. Biden for seeing what Drumpf would likely do to him
Bone cancer is the most painful cancer from what I’ve heard. He is really going through it rn.
I see a lot of ridicule on the right. When u know who u are, & encounter that kind of shit, it doesn’t register an emotional response other than pity for the haters. They are unable to experience love.
It wasn’t enough for him to lose family/have a son vilified for political theater. It wasn’t enough for him to dedicate his life to service only to have his own party undermine him during the election. They continue to sow distrust in his abilities. I wish him well in the time he has left.
It's amazing how many people have made shitting on Joe Biden, an irrelevant sick old man who did some truly terrible things and also some good ones, their entire personalities to the extent that they refuse to honestly recognize the brutality of the fascist regime that now rules over all of us.
Very sad to hear this. He has lived a life of giving yet so much tragedy. But his faith and character has gotten him through.
I'm just sad it was the wrong president
President Biden didn't deserve any of this. I'm heartbroken! I can't make sense of it. In truth, it makes me so angry to know that nothing bad happens to the evil bastards that are destroying our country, the ones in the media, in Congress, in the WH, in the MAGA world. Life is a fucking joke!
Biden’s life, an American dream. Grew up in middle class, became a Senator, then VP. Then Prez. Can say what u want about policies, but a true warrior keeps fighting till the very end 4 the things they cherish. Joe 💕’s our country. And he would have kept fighting for America. GB 🙏📿Biden family.🇺🇸
I may not have agreed with every decision he made, but he is one of the most decent souls who has ever lead this country. We were so lucky to have him.
Israel was out of control but even that started decades ago & involves thousands of people & huge lobbies, laying it all at his feet was too much. Romney & Graham called him at home & begged him to run, he did, we were safer & had hope for 4 years. That man has never abandoned a call in crisis. 🥺
I feel bad also for the American people who weren't informed he had cancer. Standard PSA tests were done and withheld. Much of what we thought was cognitive decline could have been side effects from his cancer treatment that were kept from the public.
Trump and his followers crucified his family, tortured his son Hunter, (like many of them haven’t known an alcoholic or drug addict) or perhaps it affected themselves) called Biden a pedophile with his daughter…. Dear God. Can we sink any lower? We’re becoming an Uncivilized society.
Prayers for Joe. I’ve survived prostate with treatment. Technology is great these days. Lost my brother to prostate cancer 16 years ago. Things have really progressed treatment wise since then
Indeed they have. Best wishes for successful treatment for President Biden. ❤️ Many men his age (and their families) are walking a similar path and understand the challenges. There is much hope for longevity.
Except that President Biden and his family are grace personified. That their family hasn’t known tragedy overcome diminishes their capacity. They are gonna be alright, and they have my prayers. 👆🏻
Thought the same thing, Molly. I remember when Joe lost his first wife and his daughter in that tragic accident. They died on 12/18/72–my 24th birthday.😢
And you know what else? @jaketapper.bsky.social can fuck all the way off with his stupid book too….give a very decent human and pretty good former president some peace.
I always liked @jaketapper.bsky.social but fuck that guy. His book about Biden was just so unnecessary. Opportunistic money grab. Jake- you’re an a-hole.
Biden is old and wise. He understands that war is hell but sometimes necessary. Israel will not give hamas a window to plan more attacks, they will be destroyed.
Therefore, even though I myself believe IDF military strikes were the wrong thing to do, I can absolutely understand how people equally educated, intelligent, and informed can disagree with me and believe some military action was necessary.
3 facts are relevant 1. There were 30,000 Hamas terrorists in and near Gaza. After October 7th, that was unacceptable. 2. Hamas is deeply embedded in Gazan society. Civilian casualties resulted. 3. Bibi said he was going forward even if the US imposed an arms embargo.
Trump falls asleep in public anywhere? Nobody bats an eyelid.
Trump mixes words? “It’s a strategy”.
Trump mixes names, places, doesn’t remember the US Constitution-in public-? Crickets from the press.
Biden suffers from a cancer? “He was mentally declining and everybody knew it!!!”
Thanks in large part to coverage of MSM to sabotage a good prez & prop up a convicted felon, liar, rapist, seditionist, & probable traitor with alleged dementia.
At 82 though it isn't some kind of shock at least, and I find it hard to have much sympathy after he green lit 6x Hiroshima explosives on an area the size of NYC murdering over 45,000 completely innocent women and children.
What's crazy, is regardless of who he had around him I think he wanted to make US better. Pardoning fuck up son made him like all the rest of the privileged white folk in this country.
My stepfather has prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. Although I'm uncertain if it's the same as Biden's, he is doing quite well and turned 93 in December. He's on various drugs but no chemo or otherwise. So, you never know...
Not even sure how to do that (snail mail, I suppose). But I'm also thinking others with a similar situation and who are close to him will share their experience. My one concern is that the story said it was "aggressive." We will hear more soon, I think. Thanks!
Of course I don’t, what a disingenuous comment, but I am not surprised — That is always the response by you entitled privileged little shits who helped Trump win. you never take any responsibility for your recklessness.
How did I help Trump?
I voted against how m three times and talked up Dem achievements!
I just think that the genocide in Gaza is worse than an old guy who’s lived an incredible life getting cancer.
It is way more tragic.
So why don’t you shut up? We have heard you people endlessly go on about how you hate Biden. You cannot stop for one day after he’s diagnosed with cancer?
And the protest and non votes by people that hate Israel helped Trump win.
I hope he will beat his cancer. My father outlived his dr’s prognosis by quite a long time. Let’s win the midterms for him. Smash the GOP house and senate for Joe.
I can imagine some people will say Biden was not meant to lose his 2nd run; considering his cancer diagnosis. tRump blaming Joe for anything will sound more like the cheap shots they are.
It’s so sad to watch a man who gave so much have so much taken from him. But it is also awe inspiring that Joe Biden has only ever responded by trying to give more. #GetWellJoe
In reaction to President Biden's sad diagnosis, let us see who in MAGA proves th as t they are rotten to the core and who proves they are just captured by the cult but not soulless haters.
Frightening to see that 50% of our country feels they need to be punished more. Apparently, rescuing a democracy for 4 years wins you no praise in modern America.

Even with fam with other cancers; it hits hard 😖🫶🏻🫂
My wishes are for them 🫶🏻✌🏻💞🫡
Get well Joe.
You got this Joe❤️
Thank goodness he has a good family with strong ties, who know how to stand together and comfort one another, and who have good friends.
He has endeared himself to so many in this nation.
In the Trump family, life has promoted money & hate.

Shameful
Trump has no soul.
Has never LOVED anyone
And is incapable of #Love
It's a life of no significance.. no value and will be forgotten upon his last breath eith a world celebrating the Sun that may now be able to shine ✨️ with the clouds disappearance
#Truth
I hope he’s getting enough support.

Biden is more of a man and the world wishes him well.
Enough of the BS media talk about Bidens age. Embrace his ass. Look at all the shit he did to lift us out of the Trumps disaster.
Biden is the last Democratically elected President of the Untied States of America.
I don't understand why his wasn't found earlier. I have my psa checked twice a year, which is why mine was found.
Even worldwide. Ditto cnn.
Btw, I'm not questioning the veracity of the diagnosis, but I could imagine the announcement date might've had some wiggle room. Then again, maybe they aren't as petty as I am.

Republicans seem to have lost all decency.
I see a lot of ridicule on the right. When u know who u are, & encounter that kind of shit, it doesn’t register an emotional response other than pity for the haters. They are unable to experience love.
this isn't fucking fair🥺
I'm just sad it was the wrong president
Hope it's drawn out and painful 🤞
He did a great job when he was in office. Let him enjoy his last years with his family in peace.
Joe has been through so much pain & despair in his life already.
"Through it" is right, Molly. Thank you for your huge heart and passion.
They say that God will never give you more than you can handle, but he really has been tested throughout his life.
Republicans are trash for asking whether he was fit for office just after his diagnosis.
And that Is the measure of a man.. who you ARE in the worst of times.
My grandpa's lessons have NEVER been disproven.
But I take heart in his excellent leadership to right the ship. And I think his actions for the most part will help us weather this storm.
What a tragic piece of news to hear.
Trump mixes words? “It’s a strategy”.
Trump mixes names, places, doesn’t remember the US Constitution-in public-? Crickets from the press.

The gall of it!
You cannot expect MSM to do any other bidding but the right wing’s bidding.
You should stop giving energy to MSM.
Yet he was abused mercilessly. And he took it all like a gentleman!! 💙🙏🇺🇸
Go away, you ghoul.
I would think your comment in a discussion about Biden’s cancer makes you the POS troll.

Bad things happen to good people.
1. Pretty old
2. He sent bombs and money to facilitate a genocide.
So my empathy is tempered
