Thanks, Obama. /s
This morning while driving to work I heard on NPR that doctors recommend screenings for people between 50 and 60 years of age. The guy said that older people like 70's and 80's have more problems and I missed exactly what the reasoning other than aggravating them with one more problem was for not screening that group actively.
But you and I know. Its simple! 50 and 60 year olds are still working do they got money. 80 year olds don't have money. No reason to screen them. Sure the treatments work...kinda sorta. But the treatments are expensive. So if you're 80 its not important that they find your cancer because they can't make money from you. If you're well to do, then sure, we can try our methods. But if you got no money, there's no point. What are you going to do anyway with no job and no money. Even if you could pay, then what? Sell the car and house and live on the streets? Would that be worse? Not really the doctors don't care if they got paid. Its all about the money.

This guy wanted another term this time last year.
[Edit] Oh, and some of you all thought it was a good idea. Lol.
Bro.
A chihuahua on crystal meth would do a better job than Trump.
A coma patient who doesn't wake up would do a better job than Trump.
I would say that The Devil would do a better job than Trump, but that's kind of like trying to divide by zero.

You can't really predict stage 4 cancer in your life plans, but it was clear to anyone paying attention that he was not fit for the office anymore.
Still would have voted his ticket over a fascist megalomaniac.
I really thought we were gonna Weekend at Bernie’s, this last election, and wheel that man into the Oval Office even if he had the remaining cognitive ability of a houseplant - because such an administration would still be better than the alternative. But, I was wrong, and here we all are.

I’d rather him over Trump especially with Harris as his VP.
I'd vote for Biden's prostate cancer as Pres over Trump
He's still a total dumbass not to have accepted his fate as a one term president from the get-go, dip and give the Democrats the usual amount of time to choose a successor rather than the truncated run Harris made.
