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.”

Deserves to feel the pain Palestinian families felt as he covered for Israel's genocide and pushed false atrocity propaganda about beheaded babies.

Absolutely. Reminds me of all the rosy things people said about Nancy Reagan at the end, and how we had to remind people that she helped kill an entire generation of young men because she thought it was what Jesus wanted.

Notice how it wasn't testicular cancer. Cause he doesn't have the balls.

I honestly don't know what's worse. Metastatic prostate cancer at that age or getting to the point you might need a resection because you can't piss.

Oh, I meant your username refering to how Biden's statements were just "Good Ol' America" behaving as expected.

Also if you'd like to get your display name (or any text) to be in a variety of copyable fonts you can use this

That's what he gets for not doing more to stop Trump (like, you know, actually helping the American people so that they'd want to vote Democrat).

Goodbye, and good riddance.
