For the record: This episode was recorded and posted before the news about Biden’s prostate cancer broke. Taking the post down seems like a weird thing to do, so I’m going to leave it.

I actually just checked here to see what you did. Nothing you said changes. I still think you're being generous assuming he still had 60percent of his brain left, and being Republican, I would see it as being the same thing as a fan of a particular sports team. Natural blind spots for things someone is a fan of are natural.

But the diagnosis stinks as far as the other concerns about who covered for him and how far..if it comes out in some concrete way that his cancer diagnosis was actively suppressed and that the plan was for him to step aside after winning and give it to Kamala, the fallout will be epic. We are one email away from the virtual end of the Democratic party. They might as well run AOC at that point. N

To be honest the coincidence of this post hitting the same day as his cancer diagnosis makes it all the more relevant. I know that cancer and cognitive decline aren’t co-morbidities. But both sure do correlate with age.

I have to stop listening to Jeff on my airpods when exercising at the gym, at least when other people are around. People were already starting to look at me with a worried look when i would spontaneously guffaw while doing bicep curls or chuckle while stretching. But today i laughed so hard and unexpectedly that i dropped a dumbbell on my foot. Thanks a lot, Jeff.

Are there transcripts of your videos? I’d love to get more of your content but struggle with audio

There should be a transcript button right under the media player (at least on the web version).

Thanks for using instrumental music. Much easier to listen to you talk without lyrics under it!

What is the point in doing this now? Who benefits from you attacking an old man? Just leave him alone! It’s over and he’s done. Let it go! He was a good president and he did a good job. No he shouldn’t have ran again but it’s water under the bridge at this point.

Leave him alone

It’s not water under the bridge; selfish people contemplating potentially legacy destroying decisions should know that, yes, you can and will ruin your legacy if you make a selfish decision.

“Water under the bridge” lol. Aside from the dystopic hell we all now inhabit as a result of his decision. You don’t get a mulligan for mistakes that could be seen coming from a mile away and that take your entire nation down with you. Cancer or no cancer.
