Donald Trump Jr. and MAGAworld pounced on the news of Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis with wild speculation about a long term “cover-up” of the former president’s disease.

Hours after Biden’s office announced Sunday that he had been diagnosed with a “more aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, Trump Jr. boosted a conspiracy that was already circulating among MAGA influencers and pundits.

“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” he wrote on X.

        “Woke Seatbelts” was unironically a thing back in the 1980s. I remember AM Radio heads and far-right libertarians kicking and screaming about it, people proudly insisting they wouldn’t wear a seat belt and yelling at patrol officers who ticketed them, and lots of folks stories about people being “thrown clear of the wreck” or “trapped in their car burning to death” which made seatbelts more dangerous.

      To me, the play here is to cock-block any possibility of their base exercising empathy for others. The fact that they have escalated beyond cries of “fake news” to straight up lies, is chilling.

          Everyone seems to have forgotten that POTUS’s health conditions are a state secret. FFS they even take a portable toilet (or probably just a garbage bag as a liner) for him to shit in when traveling to foreign countries so they can’t collect the turd for forensic analysis of his health.

              I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he first learned about it just after the debate with Trump. I read (on the internets so not sure how true) that this cancer often presents itself as causing a UTI. And UTIs often cause delirium and disorientation in elderfolk. Just like he seemed to have during the debate. So my theory is he didnt step down because of the bad debate performance but because his doctors then found the cancer and told him he would likely not make it through the next term.

    Does this guy think Jill Biden has a medical degree? Her doctorate is in education. This is yet another case of a MAGAt showing how ignorant he is just by opening his mouth…

    Well…

    I highly doubt that Jill is keeping a close personal eye on his prostate…

    However I think if Gerry Connelly wouldn’t have gotten so much blowback for “finding out” he had cancer like the day after the election, I believe this would have been announced earlier.

    And I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if they found out while Biden was president and just didn’t say anything.

    There’s a new DNC now, but I wouldn’t have trusted the last one on anything

        They’re redoing a vice chair election the old DNC fucked up instead of just picking one

        They’re openly, publicly, and repeatedly saying they’re be impartial and backing that with their actions.

        They’ve been pushing local meetings in areas where local politicians refuse to meet with their constituents…

        What more did you want in 3 months of taking over?

        Seriously, what will make you feel more comfortable in trusting the new DNC?

                But it’s Ken Martin now, and he didnt just show up 3 months ago fully formed…

                We can look at how he ran Minnesota’s state party, turned a purple state blue and made it one of the most progressive states in the country.

                Because while he isn’t overtly progressive, what he cares about is winning elections. And he knows voters want progressive policy and fair primaries.

                It’s not like he’s gonna be our Superman, but after 50+ years of Lex Luther running the party, we really don’t need anything more from the party.

                A fair primary is all it takes to get neoliberals out of office.

                  All by himself? Did he fix the Minnesota party by protecting conservative Democrats there too? This reads like all the delusion about Musk establishment Democrats had in ages gone by. “Look at all the great things he’s doing for the planet!”

                  while he isn’t overtly progressive, what he cares about is winning elections.

                  That’s a contradiction. It’s also the definition of who “they” is.

                  after 50+ years of Lex Luther running the party, we really don’t need anything more from the party.

                  Alternative definition of “they”. “You got your marginal surface level improvements, now sit down and shut up or we’ll blame you (again) when we lose.”

                  Fuck them, you’ll never see me defend them.

          They are redoing a vice chair election because one of the vice chairs they picked decided to push for primary challenges to the old guard. And you think that’s a sign that the old guard has fallen? That’s some Republican level bullshitting right there.

          You don’t redo an election once the elected people take office - especially for something like the questionable reasons they offered. Trump’s election had a stronger basis for being challenged than this, but the Democrats accepted that on this basis.

            They are redoing a vice chair election because one of the vice chairs they picked decided to push for primary challenges to the old guard.

            The process started almost immediately after the election. Long before Hogg made any comments as a Vice chair, and he has been aware it has been happening this entire time.

            You don’t redo an election once the elected people take office

            Again, the process started at latest right after the election.

            How were the people who hadn’t been seated yet supposed to clean up the mess before they were seated?

              The process started almost immediately after the election.

              Yet the decision just happened. What a coincidence that the decision was to do what the establishment has always done and protect old guard Democrats.

              The country has been taken over by fascists because of the Democrats weakness. Approval ratings for Democrats are in the toilet. Yet the very idea that there should be standards for Democratic politicians is treated as heresy. It’s literally insane.

              Again, the process started at latest right after the election.

              Again, you don’t get to just redo an election - especially for something as ridiculously petty as the excuse they found. No rule was broken, only the suggestion that the spirit of a rule could have been better adhered to. The entire point of the rule was to seek gender parity and there were two male VPs and two female. To undo an election instead of adjust the process for future elections is ridiculous - especially when they knew everyone with a brain would notice that they put this issue ahead of rescuing the country from fascists. THIS IS HOW OLD GUARD DEMOCRATS ACT.

              I’ve heard all this cope before when I argued that Clinton would be just another Reagan Republican,band when I argued that Obama wasn’t going to be a new kind of Democrat. I’ve been in this fight a long time, and this is just the same old cope. You believe what you want, most people do, but your just more blue MAGA from where I’m sitting.

                In what way?

                That when the loser of an election complained the DNC didn’t follow the DNC’s rules, the chair sent it to a committee who suggested a revote, which will now go to all voting DNC members and if they decide to redo the Vice chair election in accordance with rules they will then revote?

                Because…

                1. I really don’t think that’s what would have happened, I feel like they would have admitted no fault since it was their mistake or just sat who they wanted anyways. I can’t see any prior chair kicking it to committee instead of just unilaterally making the decision they personally wanted.

                2. How do you think a Democratic political party should handle something like this? And keep in mind current leadership weren’t the ones to cause it and couldn’t have prevented it. What would you have done as chair?

      They wouldn’t hide something like that.

      Anyway, Biden is a sharp, healthy, active young man who is fit to run for president again.

    I’m surprised that they’re wasting time caring. I mean I know these kinds of people have nothing better to do but have conspiracy theories and believe bullshit, but even with that, this is such a minor thing.
