GODDAMN IT. Every fucking thing that happens in this world has to be some kind of fucking conspiracy to these people. Nothing can just be what it is.

Since there is a hormonal component to this cancer, I'm expecting them to start claiming that he's Trans.
My conspiracy theory is Trump somehow gave Biden cancer
When was the last time JD Vance spoke to Biden?
He killed the pope, he's out to kill all influential catholics
He went to Leo's inaugural mass, but Leo refused to meet with him. Leo was close friends with Frances, he knows Vance murdered him, so he's not getting close enough for Vance to hex him with his Hillbilly Voodoo. .
I'm surprised that they're wasting time caring. I mean I know these kinds of people have nothing better to do but have conspiracy theories and believe bullshit, but even with that, this is such a minor thing.
Did RFK tell him that?
RFK has a carrot and kale smoothy recipe that will clear that cancer right up in 48 hours.
I just had a fruit, carrot, and kale smoothie. But that's because I didn't want to eat my veggies.
“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???”
Does this guy think Jill Biden has a medical degree? Her doctorate is in education. This is yet another case of a MAGAt showing how ignorant he is just by opening his mouth....
(Now that I read the link, it looks like this was Trump Jr, so the ignorance tracks....)
Stage five? I feel like that's only something that Donald Trump could get. Only the best cancer, the greatest cancer. Only in America, can we get cancer like this cancer. Nobody's ever seen anything like it.
Plus its not like his wife is giving him frequent prostate exams.
Look, I don't know what they do in the privacy of their bedrooms, and I don't think it's my place to ask.
They really are insanely fucking stupid.
Like maga cunts know the difference between a MD and a PhD.
I kinda want to open fake MAGA doctor offices now and just make them drink bleach or shoot up horse dewormer or whatever for giggles
Worse. These are the people who said she's not a doctor because she holds s PhD in education, rather than a medical degree.
They need to INVESTIGATE all the FAKE LIBERAL universities handing out PHONY certificates that allow people to call themselves "Dr." when they CAN'T EVEN diagnose prostate cancer.
He absolutely knows. The MAGA base don't, and that's what matters.
I think you're giving Jr too much credit.
I seem to remember the MAGA leaders crowd bashing on her specifically because her doctorate wasn't medical. It's the only reason I believe he does know.
The cancer is a nanobot sent by CHYNA's DEEPSEEK SPYWARE made with STOLEN IP to HIJACK our COUNTRY and to make an ILLEGAL PARDON using a STOLEN AUTOPEN to pardon HUNTER BIDEN, so he can use his LAPTOP to fund the UKRAINE ILLEGAL NATO EXPANSION.
-trump tweet, probably
Trump gets cancer regularly but the cancer ends up committing suicide every time
a long term “cover-up” of the former president’s disease.
Once again, every accusation is a confession with these people. Every. Fucking. Time.
If we do then Trump needs to start showing his
I'm actually okay not seeing Trump's prostate, thanks.
no one in the Trump family has a shred of empathy or brains in their head.
man, I would pop a bottle of champagne if any of those trump cunts got this diagnosis.
Just don't waste the cork. Shove it in their mouths.
Anything to distract the base from their rampant criminality and blatant defiance of the rule of law, including the constitution.
The base only cares about law when it's someone they dislike.
Well...
I highly doubt that Jill is keeping a close personal eye on his prostate...
However I think if Gerry Connelly wouldn't have gotten so much blowback for "finding out" he had cancer like the day after the election, I believe this would have been announced earlier.
And I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they found out while Biden was president and just didn't say anything.
There's a new DNC now, but I wouldn't have trusted the last one on anything
There’s a new DNC now
Huh? Looks an awful lot like the old one to me
It's been three months now...
They're redoing a vice chair election the old DNC fucked up instead of just picking one
They're openly, publicly, and repeatedly saying they're be impartial and backing that with their actions.
They've been pushing local meetings in areas where local politicians refuse to meet with their constituents...
What more did you want in 3 months of taking over?
Seriously, what will make you feel more comfortable in trusting the new DNC?
What do you want?
Remove the dinosaurs stuck in old patterns and ways of doing things. Pelosi and Schumer jump immediately to mind.
They’re openly, publicly, and repeatedly saying they’re be impartial and backing that with their actions.
Martin isn't going to "go after" anyone.
But he's not going to protect incumbents just because they're incumbents.
It's all progressives need to kick out the dinosaurs, we don't need the party to do it for us, just to not put a gun to our head and say it's a neoliberal or a Republican.
They've said that before. Somehow they always seem to find a way to come to the rescue for an establishment friendly incumbent.
They
Who is "they"? The people no longer in power?
Fuck them, you'll never see me defend them.
But it's Ken Martin now, and he didnt just show up 3 months ago fully formed...
We can look at how he ran Minnesota's state party, turned a purple state blue and made it one of the most progressive states in the country.
Because while he isn't overtly progressive, what he cares about is winning elections. And he knows voters want progressive policy and fair primaries.
It's not like he's gonna be our Superman, but after 50+ years of Lex Luther running the party, we really don't need anything more from the party.
A fair primary is all it takes to get neoliberals out of office.
We can look at how he ran Minnesota's state party, turned a purple state blue and made it one of the most progressive states in the country.
All by himself? Did he fix the Minnesota party by protecting conservative Democrats there too? This reads like all the delusion about Musk establishment Democrats had in ages gone by. "Look at all the great things he's doing for the planet!"
while he isn't overtly progressive, what he cares about is winning elections.
That's a contradiction. It's also the definition of who "they" is.
after 50+ years of Lex Luther running the party, we really don't need anything more from the party.
Alternative definition of "they". "You got your marginal surface level improvements, now sit down and shut up or we'll blame you (again) when we lose."
Fuck them, you'll never see me defend them.
You are them, just nextgen.
All by himself?
Yes...
Chairs are dictators accountable to no one.
So the Buck always stops with the Chair.
here too?
Didn't then, isn't now.
reads like all the delusion about Musk establishment Democrats had in ages gone by. “Look at all the great things he’s doing for the planet!”
What?
This is saying it safe to assume he'll run this political party like he ran the last one.
If you're looking for something with the direct skill transfer, a state party chair to DNC chair is about as close as you can get.
That’s a contradiction.
This word, I do not think it means what you think it means...
You got your marginal surface level improvements
No, it's foundational improvements....
After literally 50 years of rightwing bias from the party. We finally have a chair willing to run fair primaries...
If you don't understand how huge of a win this is, then you need to read up on party history.
You didn't just sleep in past the battle, you woke up ready to fight after the war is over. We won, the goal was never to be as bad as neoliberals when they were in charge, it was to even the playing field.
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. And you think that's a sign that the old guard has fallen? That's some Republican level bullshitting right there.
You don't redo an election once the elected people take office - especially for something like the questionable reasons they offered. Trump's election had a stronger basis for being challenged than this, but the Democrats accepted that on this basis.
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?
I highly doubt that Jill is keeping a close personal eye on his prostate...
Hey, dont kink-shame....
That is the stuff that I think makes many MAGA turn on them. Not a full turn. But a lot of good old boys do not fuck around this way. This is pure silver spooned nepo baby rhetoric
