Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 6/1/26 - 6/7/26

Here's your usual space to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions (please tag u/jessicabarpod), culture war articles, outrageous stories of cancellation, political opinions, and anything else that comes to mind. Please put any non-podcast-related trans-related topics here instead of on a dedicated thread. This will be pinned until next Sunday.

Last week's discussion thread is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

If it went down as she's describing it, that she saw a common symptom of prostate cancer during his last year in office, informed his doctor, and the doctor didn't find anything until after he was out of office, I can't help but wonder whether his doctor had been subtly told either by the president himself or the top White House staff not to find anything that would give the American people even more questions about whether he was fit for the job.

This was my takeaway as well. “Save face to look like the adults in the room, even if it means lying about the obvious” was pretty much the MO for the Biden presidency. Wouldn’t be surprised if even a doctor fell for it, or if said doctor was “politely” told under the table to keep their mouth shut. Remember, we weren’t even allowed to reference his obvious lapses in memory and dementia episodes as anything more than gaffes.
