The Leftists going on about "Are you a doctor?" really tick me off. Metastatic prostate cancer killed my dad. A turbocharged variant of Parkinson's crossed with Alzheimer's that I can't pronounce did for my mom. I don't need a bunch of letters after my name to recognize and understand what I've seen up close & personal on a daily basis, especially since I'm not prescribing treatment or the like.

And, it was announced today, Scott Adams (of Dilbert) has the aggressive prostate cancer. Probably won't live out the summer.

I do not wish cancer on anyone no matter how loathsome. I lost my father to glioblastoma and I wouldn't wish that on any family. Even vicious dogs deserve a clean end.

I’ve opined that Biden’s treatment by his wife and handlers would amount to elder abuse if it happened to a decent human being. As Joe has never been convicted of being either I have shed no tears for him, and refuse to do so now. But I freely admit that I am not always a good person.

#MeToo, Marty. But take heart, on a scale of 1 to 10 of "good person" we only need to be a 2 to be better than that serial hair sniffing, shower-taking, nude swimming shambolic reprobate. And that scale works like decibels do. So anyone 2 or higher can feel good about themselves compared to a 1. But for all that, I wish him a peaceful and painless end.

They didn't tell us. I wonder if they ever told him.

If they did, would he even remember?

Hillary said it best, Jolie. "At this point, what difference does it make?"

That fox was awesome. Yeah it sucks but what are you going to do with those who can never tell the truth about anything.

I saw a post by a doctor who asked how had it gotten so far? Didn't they give him normal checkups? Or did someone decide that it wouldn't look good for it to be known that he was going for treatment, so they just covered it up?

Normally hiding something like that for political gains and allowing it to wreak havoc on somebody would be considered quite evil. But then again... He's done such things dozens of times, so maybe some feel it's only fair that it be done to him?

There will probably be another post about Prostate Cancer and You later.

I had a scare about 10 years ago. Had to have a dwarf with a mini-cam, sonogram device, mask, snorkel and ice cream scoop crawl up my keester to snag 12 biopsies out of my prostate. The Navy doctor and Corpsman had a great sense of humor. I was laying sideways on that table, counting down...I whined, "I count 11, 1 to go, right Doc?" He said, "Nah, that was only 10. 2 more to go." Even though I wasn't facing him, I think he sensed the tears beginning to flow or maybe it was the "God help me" that I whimpered. He and the Corpsman chuckled and said, "Kidding...just 1 left". With that last mechanical ka-Chunk I was done. It turned out that I was given a clean bill of health. Just had a big healthy prostate. This is a timely post for me. I have an appointment today to get my annual PSA lab work done. As much as I hate needles, I hate biopsies more. Get tested, nip it in the bud.

No matter how anyone feels about the man (and I do not feel a thing for him personally or as a politician other than amazement that he managed to last out his term as President without being ousted in favor of K. Harris), cancer is no way for anyone to go. My grandmother died from multiple myeloma, and because women in my family have an extremely high pain tolerance, she didn't even feel it as more than "some bad back pain" until she was Stage 4 termial, and the hospital simply sent her home for hospice care pretty much immediately after diagnosis. They have her three months. She lasted for six, and was well out of it from her pain meds for the last couple of weeks. She passed peacefully, with one of my aunts attending, and her last words were, "So beautiful. So beautiful." It was a peaceful ending for her, but the months leading up to it were horrific. The family spent a lot of time with "She's getting different meds," to "She may not make it through the night," back and forth, for all those months. It was honestly a relief when she passed, and nobody really grieved, because we'd all done all of it already in the leadup. I hope Biden's family is comforted by kinder memories of the man when he had all his marbles and his health, and that his passing is swift and kind, because no matter how awful someone is or was, cancer is truly no way to go.

And remember- Biden was the most sane & electable choice that the Democrats could field in 2020 & 24.

One of the reasons they kept him propped up as long as they did was they knew that Harris would be a disaster as a candidate... but the 2024 election would be close, so best to keep the incumbent in place. That failed, and she really failed.

Despite all the proctologist jokes and manual checks, it's still worth it to get tested annually after 40. Same with colonoscopies. A bit embarrassing to prep for, but the prevention and early detection they provide is so much more important than enduring jokes about a finger up the butt or sitting on the crapper the entire day before.

For a normal person, I would feel sorrow, and even pity. However if he was even semi-cognizant for his term in office, my sorrow and pity took the last plane out of Kabul. Yes, I know, "the Christian thing to do..." Fortunately, I don't have to worry about that, being not of that faith. Fuck him, and may this last few weeks or months be a forerunner of the agony and misery he experiences while living with Hel.

My King told me to love my enemies. It is the hardest command He could give me. I prayed for JRB to have an easy death. By human thought mercy to Biden is injustice, but I will also need mercy one day.

By all means, follow your faith as you see it. I will do the same, I don't have any requirement to love my enemies, and in fact am encouraged to kill them, as long as they haven't claimed hospitality right.

I guess he got the real clot shot.

Call me cruel/mean/heartless all you want, I'm not letting him off the hook. With all he's done the only thing I'm sorry for in his passing is that the DNC and his aligned political grifters and traitors who should be taught to dance the Coalgate Jig will fill his coffin with all their crimes in an effort to scrub the crime scenes... and probably get away with it it too.

Yes.

He is now a problem for the gods.

No longer our issue.

All that remains is for the epilog to play out.

Whether he has clot-shot turbo cancer (possible) or this is a cover story because he’s no longer useful and an actual liability (what might he say?) and they want him gone sooner rather than later (probable), he is reaping what he has sown.
