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.

    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?

    Seriously, how is that logically supposed to have worked out in your mind?

      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.

        It’s always trumpets using that word …

        Even when they say they’re something else

        No rational adult has ever used that word this way

          So I’m a Trumpist now? Or just not rational? Uh, sure, whatever you say.
