My first reaction to this story was pride in Joe Biden a kind and decent man; thanks for decent people like Biden and the Hortmans; and deep sadness at the loss.

Then I became very, very angry at Txxxx and his cult who have no decency, no goodness, and no humanity.

I’m 80 and live near DC. If I’m alive when Txxxx dies and if he lies in state in the Capitol, swear I’ll sneak a bottle of piss into the rotunda and smash it on him.

To me, this invalidates any criticism that there was a nefarious cover-up of Biden's cancer. GopherGal Jun 2025 #16
