Former President Joe Biden's office says he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The finding came after the 82-year-old reported urinary symptoms, which led doctors to discover a nodule on his prostate.

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.”

        I voted for him in 2020. (Which I regret.) At the time I naively thought that a vote for Biden, even though I knew he wouldn’t preside over any fundamental change, was an important cultural victory over emerging fascism. History has shown I was wrong about that.

        I voted Stein in 2024.

        But how is that relevant to the discussion exactly?

          Just seeing who you are. Now I know. Lmao, a vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.

          Last question. What don’t you like about Trump right now? Do you think Harris would have been better or worse? I know you hate her for reasons, but would she have been better than trump?

            Do you think Jill Stein would have been better or worse? I know you hate her for reasons, but would she have been better than Trump?

          A vote for Stein was a vote for Trump. They had colluded about tricking people like you. You fell for it.

            Both sides say that same stupid thing.

            If Harris wanted my vote, she knew how to earn it, and it wasn’t by looking at four years of people’s impoverishment accelerating and then telling me she wouldn’t do anything different.

            The trick here is Democrats rigging their primaries in three straight elections and you still pretend your vote means something.

              Yeah, that’s what the GOP does, it projects. Stein has connections to Putin. It’s pretty obvious what the intentions were.

              No argument here. She was not a good candidate.

              Then why did you vote?

            Wow, what a bombshell story! Why didn’t I hear about this in the news? Especially when the DNC was running anti-Stein attack ads?

                It isn’t real is why. The Democratic Party runs anti-Green propaganda just like they run anti-Republican propaganda. They’re competing for votes.

                Democrats can’t attack Greens on the issues, because they’re all issues that their base agrees with, so they go with this nonsense instead.
