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.”

    Can I say here that he fucking deserved this and much much more?

    Who the fuck are the mods in news.world? Please if you are one, and have some resemblance of balls under your micropenis, let me know what is your thought process on this.

    I keep reading the comments and I’m speechless. It’s like the whole world didn’t beg this poor pathetic sack of shit for months to stop bombing kids. Am I living in an alternate reality??

    Is sniping hungry children not enough? Are hospital patients on fire not enough? Tortured and raped prisoners not enough? Assaulting and killings medics not enough? Is starvation not enough? I’m tired.

    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.

    Now seems like a good time to remember that he wasn’t called Genocide Joe for nothing. I truly hope that he’s feeling maybe half the fear that US bombs inspire in people worldwide right now.

      But, even if you put aside what he did with regards to enabling Gaza entirely, he’s still an absolute piece of shit for being the focal element of our sleepwalk into fascism. His hubris is legit at King Lear levels.

          There was an episode of Pod Save America where they revealed that Biden’s own advisors had determined that if he ran for reelection, Trump would win with 400 electoral votes. Biden knew about this and he ran anyway.

      Maybe I’ve been looking at the wrong communities but I’ve been really surprised with the amount of sympathy for this monster on Lemmy.

        It honestly blows my mind.

        It’s like these people haven’t had to look at their own bills for the last four years, much less read a news headline about how Biden bloodied his hands on Palestinian kids.

        If I had to guess it’s mainly .world accounts (and maybe feddit given their strongly pro-genocide stance). They think because Trump is scary and doing more bad things at home than Biden that Biden – the man who holds a large amount of responsibility for him being elected again (by stubbornly running again when he wasn’t fit then dropping out at the last moment) somehow deserves some respect for some reason. That and/or for them genocide just isn’t a line that once crossed makes someone bad. Little hitlerites the lot of them.

    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.

    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.
