Biden has cancer.

Serious question: does the president owe it to the public to disclose a cancer diagnosis? Why or why not?

What about a serious decline in cognitive function? Why or why not?
Yes and yes. Easy case is when he’s standing for election.

Both affect (or could affect) his performance. To rob voters of that knowledge is anti-democratic.

I'm old enough to remember when Hilary was close to death while running in 2016.

I agree completely. How can somebody be expected to make an informed vote otherwise?

Saw today where Biden camp has said that his last prostate screening was done in 2014. If that's true, it would certainly explain why they hadn't caught this earlier. And, apparently, it's not uncommon to stop doing some of this at a certain age.

My two questions about this are:

1) Why? What's the downside to doing a PSA test and, er, that other exam?

2) Even if that is common, wouldn't we think that a VPOTUS/POTUS would still be getting them, even if most septuagenarians aren't?

How different is that from politicians that break promises that they made during the campaign or in a more recent situation claim to know nothing of Project 2025 but then implement after elected?

Unfortunately bamboozling voters is too common.

...claim to know nothing of Project 2025 but then implement after elected?

My understanding of Project 2025 is that it's a laundry list of agenda items that have been on conservative planning tables for years. One of them I know of is expanding school choice -- which is something I've advocated for decades.

Does my advocacy of school choice, and the fact that it also appears in Project 2025, make me a covert advocate for Project 2025 writ large?

Or must I actively disavow each and every line item they have in order to be exonerated from Project 2025 advocacy?

Yet the people that penned Project 2025 were not just random conservatives but in Trump's inner circle and authors are now staffing his administration. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/tr...-now-staffing-trump-administration-rcna195107

Claiming ignorance of project 2025 was a flat out lie in my opinion.

No, your advocacy for school choice just makes you wrong ;)

Given how aloof Donald Trump generally is to the finer details of policy, I don’t find it all that hard to believe that he would be unfamiliar with it. He’s at the opposite end of the spectrum of somebody like Adlai Stevenson.

That doesn’t necessarily mean others around him were unfamiliar with it.

Craze, Indiana has been one of the state's leading the way for school choice.

What grade would you give Indiana in improving its education up to now?
 
So you are telling me the highest level of government employees don’t get regular check ups?
No, they absolutely do. And the checkups pay attention to recommended care protocols. For a person over 70, this includes checking carefully for prostate health symptoms but NOT doing a PSA test. Why? Because PSA levels for men over 70 do not correlate with cancer, as determined by MANY studies and accepted as fact by the American Cancer Society.

Is this STILL hard to understand, after explaining it 10 times?
You telling me his decline (which was obvious) didn’t raise any red flags to medical staff? I’m not buying it. 100% I’m sure they knew. Guess or not.
Are you saying that declines in cognitive function indicate cancer, or are you diverting the conversation away from the topic here?

He was becoming a mental vegetable. We know that now, and certainly to some extent (maybe a huge extent) it was pooh-poohed or covered up.

But the assertion that it's 100% clear that he covered up a cancer diagnosis is not supported by any facts I have seen.
 
Oh no, dog faced pony soldier. The rape was quickly proven false. Trump on the other hand has been accused by more than twenty women, three of rape, and one was a child. But go ahead and compare that nonsense.
Cavanaugh was accused of rape too. Like Trump no time , dates, locations corroboration on any. No prosecutions. However there was zero interest in investigating the Tara Reid even though reports and specifics were filed at the time of the incident unlike Carroll twenty or thirty years later.

no prosecutions may have something to do with Trump being president and not able to be charged. Might also have to do with statute of limitations or the women not wanting to be harassed/threatened by MAGA supporters.

Trump is on video bragging of sexual assault and wandering around dressing rooms uninvited. While that isn't rape, it does point to someone being a predator. 20 women is a lot of people you claim are lying just so you can think trump is innocent.

If trump didn't enjoy immunity as president during his 1st term, then how safe do you think he would have been during the "me too" movement? He may have shared a cell with Cosby.

That’s the sort of question I’d have to defer to the parents who have participated.

So these rapes all took place during his last adminstration?

Just wait for the Dr. Drew does not know what he is talking about posts to start. You know it is coming.
He does not say what people here are saying, though, that it's 100% certain there was a cover-up going on for years.

He seems to be fully correct in describing the typical situation.

But there are outliers and they aren't exactly rare.

1 in 7 patients with prostate cancer (14%) have metastatic disease at the time of first diagnosis*. They have likely had it for a long time, were asymptomatic, and had either normal PSA levels or a PSA test wasn't done because they were low risk and over 70. Many other oncologists on TV have said this.

Dr. Drew is always showing up in ads for me on Youtube about how to lose weight. Dude looks shredded.
i really do feel like we grew up in a good time with the 80s and the 90s. much better than now. and i think there are certain times post ww2 that would have even been better. love line was entertaining. adam carolla was incredibly funny back then

You “know” what you can’t possibly know given publicly available information.
