What's scary is that knew he had cancer back in his first presidency. He never should have ran for a second term because he knew he'd die before seeing the end. We could have had a real primary to pick who would be in the ticket, but nope.

I have a relative with the same cancer so it's going to be rough hearing people celebrate the pain he's in. probably should just avoid comments for a bit.

Good luck to you and your loved ones, and hopefully you can avoid the comments.

Was your relative heavily complicit in a genocide which killed at least 40.000 people using weapons they provided?

[-] celeste@kbin.earth 7 points 11 hours ago

I'm not attempting to guilt anyone. I apologize if it seemed that way.

This was mostly notice to myself to avoid these comment sections, so I'd see my comment in my profile and remember not to click certain articles. If someone describes the pain in detail they wish on him and it's relevant to my uncle's illness, i will imagine my uncle experiencing that pain. i just will, and i see no need to train myself out of it. there's no value in that, for me. I like reading news comments, so I'll often just click an article I see with them without thinking.

It's none of my business what you post.

That makes sense. I interpreted your comment wrongly and I apologize for that. I wish your uncle all the best!

I work in hospice, everyone's journey is different. As you hear things (some people share stories intending to be well meaning) try to let it slide off. Focus on your families and your needs, and know that there are resources available for assistance and support (social workers, spiritual needs, etc.)

I hope he lives long enough to see Trump fall apart.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

Why? He helped him get into office.

The populace and the DNC did that. Biden would’ve rather retired to his farm where he could’ve sniffed his grandchildren’s hair in peace for the rest of his days.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago

Hopefully his last days are peaceful and without a Trump in his mind.

I envy everyone who died before June 14, 1946 who never had to ever possibly think of Trump

[-] blakenong@lemmings.world 10 points 1 day ago

He’s going to live long enough to see America fall apart

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 day ago

Doubtful considering how aggressive the type of cancer is, and it already spreading to the bone.

[-] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 8 points 21 hours ago

The least that can happen to a man who supported genocide.

[-] selkiesidhe@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago

The US was also diagnosed with aggressive ass cancer. Coincidence?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
