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.”

Now seems like a good time to remember that he wasn't called Genocide Joe for nothing. I truly hope that he's feeling maybe half the fear that US bombs inspire in people worldwide right now.

I take it you voted for Trump then.

Trump's social media video garners pushback from Arabs and Muslims in U.S. and Gaza -The post comes weeks after Trump suggested the U.S. should take over the Gaza Strip and relocate Palestinians.

The post comes weeks after Trump suggested the U.S. should take over the Gaza Strip and relocate Palestinians.

The apparently AI-generated video includes depictions of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sunbathing in Gaza, and imagines scenes of destruction in Gaza transformed into a glitzy Riviera-style resort called "TRUMP GAZA."

Trump’s Gaza ‘Riviera’ plan is the most outlandish idea in the history of US Middle East peacemaking

The president repeatedly doubled down on his suggestion that nearly 2 million Palestinians should be relocated from battle-leveled Gaza to new homes elsewhere so that the US could send troops to the Strip, take ownership and build the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

“You build really good quality housing, like a beautiful town, like some place where they can live and not die, because Gaza is a guarantee that they’re going to end up dying,” Trump told reporters.

It's the only tactic "centrist" voters know. When someone criticizes their team, that person must be in support of the "other" team (because there's only two, you know).

Anyone who claims otherwise is lying, so they'll just have to keep saying that you voted for Trump even when you tell them that you voted progressive every primary and Democratic Party every general. They're about two neurons firing away from accidentally saying "a vote for Biden is a vote for Trump" and then tripling down on it.
