    This is just confirmation that the Democrats knew that Joe would not be able to complete another 4 years.

      Remeber how Bidens only ambitious policy was that they were gonna find a cure for cancer and he randomly started mentioning that out of nowhere.

      I’m going with right around then for a diagnosis.

    From Jim Crow to superpredators and the prison industry complex to NAFTA and immigrant persecution to ethnic cleansing and genocide. The “hagiography” writes itself.

    My mind was just flooded with a vision of this condition aggravating very suddenly and the whole country being inundated with updates, which everyone received with applause, and Biden dies Beau is Afraid style with the whole of the world cheering it on.

    Yeah…

    I don’t feel bad obviously. But I don’t feel good either. If this happened while he was in office then I would care, maybe, but otherwise this doesn’t really change anything, beyond confirming the inevitability of his death.

    Obviously celebrate if you want, I don’t judge, but I just wanted to say something, not because I feel conflicted but because I just kinda dont feel anything. Which is odd for me

      I guess it’s hard to celebrate cancer, given we all know someone who’s suffered and died from it. He deserves to be put on trial, not this.

      But also fuck him.

        It’s not hard in the slightest. It’s embarrassing to have to read this insanity. There is no amount of suffering this man should be shielded from and humanity gains nothing by lamenting his torment.

          The problem is humanity gains nothing from celebrating it either. Humanity would only gain something from seeing him held responsible for his actions. This is just what we have to settle for short of that. He might as well have been hit by a bus. Yeah, we can have some schadenfreude at his expense, but we can’t hope for any justice.

            It’s true. But I am sick to my stomach listening to conservatives taking the high road and feeling sorry for him. Why don’t people want to destroy their enemies suddenly? It’s like they loved him the whole time and all their death threats were just in good partisan fun. I don’t want the left to end up in such a humiliating position that we can’t wish harm and pain on this man. Not because it is salvation but because dignity is at stake and I want revenge for his life of crimes of I can’t get justice.

    i hope he can recover or at least gets decent treatment, but that doesn’t erase all his bad deeds and still he’s a bastard pro-genocide

      The problem with these bastards is that they never die the way they should. They should be completing their sentences in the Hague. Instead, they live close to or over a century and die from routine illness or age, all their evil deeds in the rearview mirror.
