We didn’t know of any obvious major health issues with Biden. He had a shit debate and everyone suddenly acts like they knew something was wrong other than just getting old, being propped up on cold meds or whatever the official excuse was. Prostate cancer doesn’t cause these symptoms.

Sure, no one would have known about the prostate cancer, but plenty of people had been questioning Biden's mental fitness since 2020, and they were called ageist by pundits. Stewart himself was accused of aiding Trump for running a segment on Biden's strange mental gaffes just weeks before the debate. If people like Tapper had been doing their jobs instead of deferring to the administration, we would have had answers, not questions.

I mean, the whole point of “he is too old” Is because 80 it’s too old. It is wether or not anyone had secret knowledge of Biden’s decline. It was a correct assessment, and his debate was just validation of what was already known

Obviously being old and in mental decline is not something people have issues with. Look at your current president.

This isn't, "drama around Bidens declining health," it's another symptom of a sickness within the Democratic party. Ruth Bader Ginsberg refused to retire when Obama was in office, so her death gave Donald Trump another Supreme Court nomination. Dianne Feinstein would not leave office despite having severe dementia, and instead died during her term. Jerry Connolly was made Democratic Chair of the House Oversight Committee despite being diagnosed with esophageal cancer. He died yesterday, made him the third House Democrat to die in the last 2 months.

The Democratic Party is led by geriatrics who refuse to relinquish power even as they drop dead in office. We should drag every single person who knew about Biden's failing mental state into the light and make sure they never work in politics again. We should demand to know if his cancer diagnosis was known before the election, and if not, why he didn't receive a cancer screening for over a decade. We need accountability for the people who allowed the party to reach this state. And before 2026, we need to go to every single House and Senate Democrat over the age of 65 and say, "Thank you for your service, but you're retiring now. Would you like to endorse anyone for your seat?"

Jon Stewart, in particular, talks about Trump's corrupt and illegal activities on a regular basis and has been doing so for a long time.

Did you literally wake up from a coma the day Biden's cancer diagnosis was announced or something? Or are you the rare person who isn't part of Trump's cult but also only watches right wing news sources?

"President Trump shits on Constitution in novel way!" could paraphrase a headline from literally any week this year after 1/20. And only after 1/20 because before then he was merely President-Elect Trump.

Beyond that, the news cycle is pretty short - for example, unless we have revelations about Trump sexually assaulting a woman we didn't already know about or some movement in an existing court case, it's not going to continue to be litigated in the news media because there's nothing new to say.

I see multiple articles about Trump's corrupt and illegal actions every single day.

It goes far beyond conspiracy theories at this point: Most major media outlets and centralized social media platforms in the world are sanewashing the entire conservative bloc in America.

They're literally copying Germany in the 1930s, with secret police, sending people to camp based on ethnicity(For all those who seem to not know: Dachau concentration camp was opened in 1933, thousands held there by 1934), etc. Elon Musk did a full blow, Hitler style Nazi salute on stage during the inaugration celebration, twice. And all the media, including pages like Snopes, are acting like "It's impossible to tell what he actually meant".

Pretty sure Stewart's point is exactly that. They're putting out a book now to have "content" instead of going after trump for the real content. Like Puppy-Killer Noem, his secretary of Homeland Security not knowing Habeas Corpus. or, blatantly stating the exact opposite before a congressional hearing.

the stuff in CNN's book was news years ago- and they talked about it years ago, too. CNN is complicit

I don't think the Washington Post of today would print an article with dirt on the president.
