Mediaite - BREAKING: Biden Undergoes Prostate Evaluation After ‘Small Nodule’ Discovered

Former President Joe Biden spent last Friday in a Philadelphia hospital after doctors discovered a “small nodule” on his prostate that required “further evaluation,” his spokesman confirmed.

No additional details were provided, according to the New York Times, although the outlet noted that it is common for a man of Biden’s age to experience prostate issues.

Biden, who left office in January as the oldest sitting president in U.S. history, faced relentless scrutiny over his age and physical fitness during his time in the White House and his short bid for 2024 re-election. Pressures over his health and his performance during a debate with Donald Trump ultimately played a key role in his decision to bow out of the race.

[marble falls]

1. Joe Biden did not bow out. He was shoved out.

[Bettie]

11. Sure seemed like a whole bunch of people had

hit pieces ready to go immediately...funny, since the election, those big money people who wanted him gone are awfully quiet, but they are getting their tax cuts, so I guess they will be better than fine.

But, they can't even muster up a tiny criticism of the orange man.

[Initech]

12. I remember going to my favorite local bar that night.

And people were watching the debate on phones and tablets, and they were like "WE GOT HIM!!!!". I was like "Oh fuck, that cannot be good!". Ugh. I hate this timeline.

[Polybius]

13. How so?

He and Trump agreed to the debate, and both had plenty of time to prepare.

[Initech]

19. Pretty sure Trump got the answers in advance and Fox News wouldn't accept any other outcome.

And the only way Trump won is that he wouldn't shut the fuck up. He did the same thing in the debate with Kamala.

[Polybius]

21. But Fox had nothing to do with the debate

It was hosted by CNN.

2024 Joe Biden–Donald Trump presidential debate

[elocs]

22. So Biden being jet-lagged from 2 recent trips to Europe, then waking up with a bad cold

2 days before the debate had nothing to do with his performance? He chose to make the trips.
Biden said at a fundraiser in McLean, Virginia "“I wasn’t very smart. I decided to travel around the world a couple of times … shortly before the debate." “I didn’t listen to my staff and I came back and then I almost fell asleep on stage.”

[themaguffin]

14. Oh ffs

[displacedvermoter]

2. Why are we getting detailed information

about our former President's most intimate health status, but no details -- or flat out lies -- about the shambles of a man now running our Nation into the ground?

Is this one more opportunity to dump on President Biden as being enfeebled? I, personally, don't need to know about his prostate now that he is no longer in office, though I certainly wish him well.

[riversedge]

3. Yes, Biden is no longer President and his health should be a private-family affair. I have no need to know.

[BumRushDaShow]

4. It's done purely to distract from the trainwreck of the 45 administration

By the time many men hit their 70s, they end up with what I call "the prostate walk" and something upwards of 60 - 70% of men over 65 end up with prostate issues, including prostate cancer.

[Self Esteem]

5. It's pretty big news anytime a former president has a medical issue.

[displacedvermoter]

7. I am more concerned about current President and his mental and physical health

And media seems content to agree he is a combination of Carl Sagan and Dwayne Johnson, with some Leonardo DiCaprio thrown in.

[Self Esteem]

8. Okay. But you obviously were concerned enough to click this thread.

Biden is an ex-president. Any time they have a procedure, big or small, it's going to get reported.

Just like when the media reported on Bush having back surgery in 2013:

[displacedvermoter]

18. And I am saying again, that there should be commencerent coverage of Trump's health

And wellness, and there hasn't been.

[elocs]

23. I did hear today on Rachel Maddow today that Trump has been taking a weight loss drug

such as Ozempic and has lost 20 pounds so his BMI now has him as overweight rather than obese and that he is taking cholesterol lowering drugs that have significantly lowered his cholesterol number.

[Self Esteem]

25. I'm sure if Trump has a nodule removed from his prostate, it'll make news.

[stillcool]

27. how would anyone know?

every word out of his mouth is a lie...and that last Doctor of his? Don't know if that guy is still his concierge doctor for press conferences but that guy was whacked.

[Self Esteem]

29. Who knows?

But I'm sure if Trump goes MIA for a couple days, it'll be very unusual since he's held a press conference or publicly golfed pretty much every single days he's been in office. Not as easy to hide Trump when he's addicted to the camera.

[stillcool]

31. He just needs to take a trip somewhere

not as big a deal as you might think. The entire administration lies, and controls his PR more than he does.

[Self Esteem]

34. No. It is as big as I think.

He literally is taking a trip somewhere right now and he's plastered all over the TV. Trump isn't the type of person that can just go missing for a few days without any press availability. There hasn't been a day since he took office that his ugly mug wasn't in front of a camera.

[Initech]

10. Because the "news" network that's turned the government into a reality clown shit show...

Is intentionally keeping us in the dark about what his real health is. And the last time he underwent a cognitive test, that same network found the one "doctor" (term used loosely) in the country that was crazy enough to rig the cognitive exam. And said "doctor" was rewarded with what's basically a lifetime gig in Congress because he ran in a district that's safe republican. Fuck Fox News and everyone who watches that shit.

[themaguffin]

17. There is nothing unsual about getting medical updates on a former pres. It's unusual to NOT get them on...

...a candidate harmed in an incident or current president relying on hack doctors who make up shit.

[Meowmee]

15. Sounds like more dumping on B to detract from orange psycho train wreck

I wish B and his family the best.

[phylny]

16. I do hope he is OK and doesn't need a lot of treatment.

As a wife of a man who had prostate cancer and a prostatectomy, I have learned a lot about the prostate. Most men die with prostate cancer, not of prostate cancer. That is to say that the cancer is there, slow growing, confined.

[elocs]

24. At age 69 (I'm 72 now) I was sent to a urologist about concern with my PSA test.

I had a test done that was way more invasive than I would have preferred and after the Dr. got the results and I saw him he told me that I could just skip the PSA tests from now on because my prostate was ok. Yes, I've heard that most men will die with prostate cancer rather than of it.

[phylny]

30. I am not a doctor, but I would suggest that you continue

getting the PSA. My husband had absolutely no symptoms, went in for a routine PSA and a biopsy and the surgeon told him he would be dead in two years. No symptoms.

[elocs]

33. I have a yearly physical & blood work next month and I have intended to ask for a PSA test.

It's been a few years now so I'd like some reassurance that everything is ok.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

20. Gee, I wonder why

"Biden....faced relentless scrutiny over his age and physical fitness..."

And mysteriously, the bloated brain dead blob of blubber faces no scrutiny whatsoever over anything!



President Biden:

[Lovie777]

26. And the media goes after President Biden again.............

while shithole breaks the Constitution...........

[SheltieLover]

28. You do realize the irony here, right? Joe needed an internal exam

I hope Joe is ok.

[Iggo]

32. In what world do I need a report about an ex-president having a prostate exam?
