A resurfaced video of Joe Biden appearing to say he had cancer three years ago has raised questions following his public diagnosis.

    Has cancer… has lower cognitive faculties… might be dead soon…

    IDK, still sounds a lot better than the orange despot in charge right now!

      This is the kind of mindset that resulted in running Biden long enough that we didn’t have a real primary, and Trump winning.

          Bruh you are the least qualified person on the planet to be commenting on what reality is.

          Your “reality” cost the country its Democracy.

          Supporting Joe Biden when there was -> 0 <- fucking chance he could win, and it was obvious to anyone with two braincells to rub together; if that was you, Trump is your fucking fault.

          And not just supporting him, admonishing ANYONE AND EVERYONE who was pointing out that the strategic approach you were insisting on was a fucking disaster. That’s on you fam. At least your crime is on record.

          And if you STILL walking around with this lessor evil mentality, a mentality that WILL lose the next election if imposed in support of a shitty candidate, who stands for nothing, who fights for nothing, who represents nothing but genocide and the defense of a corporate power structure: You WILL lose the next election if you can’t fix yourself.

    I highly doubt Biden knew he had this specific cancer back then just because it seems incredibly unlikely he would find that out and just not get any treatment for it until he was out of office. It just doesn’t feel likely. You don’t just get told “hey you have cancer” and then not do anything about it at all. Especially when you’re rich and have the money. And when you’re the fucking President and have the best medical care available to you in the entire country all for free.

    Course if we find out he was on chemotherapy back then then I’m obviously wrong. But I think that’s the only thing that could directly point to him knowing he had cancer back then.

    Biden is known for his gaffes so it’s just more likely that’s what was going on in this 2022 speech.

        Yeah, so the gaffe in this speech would just have been in the present tense instead of past tense since he had already had that skin cancer removed. Which was stated in the article but still.

        Edit: fixed I’m to in

      How dare someone admit he have cancer and then get a different kind of cancer 3 years later?
