Donald Trump Jr. and MAGAworld pounced on the news of Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis with wild speculation about a long term “cover-up” of the former president’s disease.

Hours after Biden’s office announced Sunday that he had been diagnosed with a “more aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, Trump Jr. boosted a conspiracy that was already circulating among MAGA influencers and pundits.

“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” he wrote on X.

      It’s been three months now…

      They’re redoing a vice chair election the old DNC fucked up instead of just picking one

      They’re openly, publicly, and repeatedly saying they’re be impartial and backing that with their actions.

      They’ve been pushing local meetings in areas where local politicians refuse to meet with their constituents…

      What more did you want in 3 months of taking over?

      Seriously, what will make you feel more comfortable in trusting the new DNC?

      What do you want?

        Remove the dinosaurs stuck in old patterns and ways of doing things. Pelosi and Schumer jump immediately to mind.

          Martin isn’t going to “go after” anyone.

          But he’s not going to protect incumbents just because they’re incumbents.

          It’s all progressives need to kick out the dinosaurs, we don’t need the party to do it for us, just to not put a gun to our head and say it’s a neoliberal or a Republican.

        The DNC admitted they influenced internal elections? Got a source?

        Seriously, what will make you feel more comfortable in trusting the new DNC?

        Replacing First-past-the-post voting with STAR or Ranked Choice voting in every single blue state. Democrats believe in democracy right?

          Ok, but the state parties run their own primaries…

          Like, you really need to understand how our political system works in order to change it. But the good news is we already fixed one of the two parties! You’re upset for no logical reason right now, and you can just let it go.

          So you personally wanted the new head of the DNC to dissolve it?

          Ok, that’s literally never going to happen.

              In what way?

              That when the loser of an election complained the DNC didn’t follow the DNC’s rules, the chair sent it to a committee who suggested a revote, which will now go to all voting DNC members and if they decide to redo the Vice chair election in accordance with rules they will then revote?

              Because…

              1. I really don’t think that’s what would have happened, I feel like they would have admitted no fault since it was their mistake or just sat who they wanted anyways. I can’t see any prior chair kicking it to committee instead of just unilaterally making the decision they personally wanted.

              2. How do you think a Democratic political party should handle something like this? And keep in mind current leadership weren’t the ones to cause it and couldn’t have prevented it. What would you have done as chair?
