"He is as fit, healthy, and free of cancer as I've ever seen him," she told reporters. "I know there are a lot of reports going around today about President Biden's health, but I want to be perfectly clear about this. Being diagnosed with cancer does not mean what everyone thinks it means. It means he has cancer, but that doesn't necessarily mean he has cancer. Having cancer and having cancer are two very different things. And while President Biden has cancer, I can assure everyone that he is cancer-free."

Questions have been raised about the timing of Biden's diagnosis, with many people, including doctors, expressing the belief that administration officials have known for some time and kept it from the public. "That would be ridiculous," Jean-Pierre said in response. "We had the most transparent administration in this nation's history. We were completely up front about everything, even the things we covered up and kept hidden from everyone."

At publishing time, Jean-Pierre notified the media that even though Biden had passed away shortly before the 2020 election, he still went down in history books as the only man to posthumously win an election, serve a full term as president, and be diagnosed with cancer.

Biden's health is his own private business.   Those who has a job here, knows that sometimes, when you are overwhelmed with work, we often overlook preventative health.    And also prostate issues can be very embarrassing for an older man.   Can you imagine if the MAGA /Fox media, get hold of information that Biden is having lower urinary tract symptoms?  They will ensure he is the laughing stock of the entire country even if he doesnt have cancer! 

He is no longer the president.  Just leave the man in peace.

Was it not embarrassing to have had a US president demonstrably in cognitive decline, shuffling across the world stage, falling up stairs, disoriented, mumbling to himself, speaking and walking towards people who weren't there, and resorting to anecdotes of what his pappy told him about the depression and the war as he sat at his feet by the fireside?

Biden's 'sudden' health issue has exposed the possibility that candidacy for the US presidency may not be predicated on at least fitness for the role, but, in an echo of monarchical primogeniture, by who is the next in line of succession, as if it were preordained 'by the grace of god'.

They sure seem to.

Their founding myth echoes into their (unfounded) omnipresent sense of threat from imminent foreign invasion and the (baseless) presence of a fifth column.

They suffer from an unconscious 'want of monarchy,' a benign head of state with no real power who can reassure them that everything is alright - they are largely Anglo-Germanic after all.

No... I have revealed the inherent problem of the 'right of succession' over competence.

Competence is determined firstly by the party when selecting the VP, then voted on by the public during the election. It's not like they keep the VP a secret until after the election

I think you're onto it Meister.

The more competent Bernie Sanders was pushed aside as his royal blood wasn't as inbred as Bidens
