Absolutely bullshit. They knew it and they covered it up. I sincerely believe he knew it when he "joked" about it which was a little moment of it slipping out as a joke in order to cope with it.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

flattened-bernie I bet he knew it too.

World's oldest, frailest, and most important man was never screened for world's most common cancer due to a tiny little bureaucratic mixup, for a decade. Oopsie!

More lies and misinformation from the new yorkkk crimes.

There's no way they didn't run a basic PSA test during his regular medical check-ups. It's literally just a blood test. The only way they wouldn't run that, is if he never had his blood tested at all.

dem Now that I'm not so busy running for a four-year term as one of the most important people on the planet, I should probably get my physical condition checked out!

I think realistically, the doctors checked his blood, said, "You came back positive for cancer, how do you feel?" And he said, "I'm fine. Back in the day, cornpop would pull my hair..." and the doctor stopped listening and said, "You're 90 years old, odds are you'll die of organ failure before this cancer gets you, don't worry about it."

I hate to be Mr. Killjoy, but prostate cancer screening in old men is worthless. It's one of the least aggressive forms of cancer—usually taking 10 to 15 years to kill you—and treating it at that age is more likely to shorten your lifespan than the tumor itself.

Cool that he's gonna die eventually, but there's no coverup here.

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 33 points 1 week ago

Also, skill issue—he forgot to cure cancer when he was President. RIP bozo.

It's just a blood test. It isn't going to hurt you.

[–] RION@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

The blood test, no, but biopsies and such based on a false positive might, and apparently PSA tests have a pretty bad false positive and false negative rate

Maybe he should've got the doc's finger up there once in a while tho

Prostate exam? What do you folks want next? Drawing a clock? Chill out.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

But... after the exam he gets, dem

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

but.. he had a perfect bill of health when he was running for office again i thought

[–] HelluvaBottomCarter@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm going to guess Joe, Dr Jill found out before 2020. Then they approached Obummer with the info. Obama got with the Dem leadership and that's when they hatched the 2020 Primary shenanigans. They wanted to give Joe his final chance. They probably also got Kamala on board by teasing a chance he might die in office. That's also why Biden disappeared for like 3 months. He was undergoing treatment to slow down the cancer. Obviously it took its toll on his health by the time we got to the 2024 debates. He was fucking gone mentally. But the Dems were willing to run him again because it worked in 2020 and worst comes to worse they would have Kamala in the seat.

Now that they know he won't make it to 2028, they're willing to admit his condition.

It really puts the last five years in perspective doesn't it?

Not that I really give a shit about who is president but I always thought it would be ass if we got our first woman president by some technicality instead of a popular movement.

Lies, deception, every day more lies

[–] Boynomoder@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago

Wondering if he’s had it for awhile and that’s what all that weird “we will cure cancer by the end of this administration” thing was all about.

[–] OldSoulHippie@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

Ahh, I see he's using my health strategy of "if I don't know about it, it's not real". Difference is he's not poor and I don't believe this for a second.

he wasn't screened because they knew he had it

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

I hope his prostate swells to the size of Marc Andreessen's head

the cancer's been running the show the whole time
