Well if some one has to get cancer then it might as well happen to Biden instead of someone I actually like.

I don't know.

I've seen what cancer does to people (my Nan is a survivor). Much like dementia, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Edit: You know, given all the horrible things that happen to you in old age, maybe there was a reason barbarian cultures were obsessed with dying in battle. Compared to Alzheimers, an axe through the skull sounds cuddly.

You don't seem to understand just horrific these illnesses are.

NYT w/plenty of un-named sources I'm betting. Sounds like they're trying to wag the dog and get the D's to do this before election time.

Named sources include Mitch McConnell himself. Apparently a bipartisan group of 16 senators released a joint statement that I haven't found yet* but here's Collins: Senators Introduce Reforms to the Electoral Count Act of 1887 | U.S. Senator Susan Collins of Maine

*Unless, as some sources suggest, Collins's stuff is the joint statement.

The list of Republicans (per NYT): "Besides Ms. Collins, the other Republican members of the bipartisan group backing the electoral count overhaul are Senators Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Todd Young of Indiana."

Collins's summary of the content of the proposed bill: https://www.collins.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/one_pager_on_electoral_count_reform_act_of_2022.pdf

ELECTORAL COUNT REFORM ACT OF 2022
ECRA would reform and modernize the outdated 1887 Electoral Count Act to ensure that electoral
votes tallied by Congress accurately reflect each state’s public vote for President. It would replace
ambiguous provisions of the 19th-century law with clear procedures that maintain appropriate state
and federal roles in selecting the President and Vice President of the United States as set forth in the
U.S. Constitution.

KEY PROVISIONS INCLUDE:
• Single, Conclusive Slate of Electors. Includes a number of important reforms aimed at ensuring
that Congress can identify a single, conclusive slate of electors from each state:
ooo Identifies Official to Submit Slate. Identifies each state’s Governor, unless otherwise
specified in the laws or constitution of a state in effect on Election Day, as responsible for
submitting the certificate of ascertainment identifying that state’s electors. Congress could
not accept a slate submitted by a different official. This reform would address the potential
for multiple state officials to send Congress competing slates.
ooo Provides for Expedited Judicial Review. Provides for expedited review, including a three-
judge panel with a direct appeal to the Supreme Court, of certain claims related to a state’s
certificate identifying its electors. This accelerated process is available only for aggrieved
presidential candidates and allows for challenges made under existing federal law and the
U.S. Constitution to be resolved more quickly.
ooo Modernizes Rules for Counting Electoral Votes. Requires Congress to defer to slates of
electors submitted by a state’s executive pursuant to the judgments of state or federal courts.

• Role of the Vice President. Affirmatively states that the constitutional role of the Vice President,
as the presiding officer of the joint meeting of Congress, is solely ministerial and that he or she
does not have any power to solely determine, accept, reject, or otherwise adjudicate disputes over
electors.

• Higher Objection Threshold. Raises the threshold to lodge an objection to electors to at least
one-fifth of the duly chosen and sworn members of both the House of Representatives and the
Senate. This change would reduce the likelihood of frivolous objections by ensuring that
objections are broadly supported. Currently, only a single member of both chambers is needed to
object to an elector or slate of electors.

• Protection of Each State’s Popular Vote. Strikes a provision of an archaic 1845 law that could
be used by state legislatures to override the popular vote in their states by declaring a “failed
election” – a term that is not defined in the law. Instead, this legislation specifies that a state
could move its presidential election day, which otherwise would remain the Tuesday
immediately following the first Monday in November every four years, only if necessitated by
“extraordinary and catastrophic” events.

I've seen the future...
Harris tested positive previously, this time it’s Biden.

President Biden tests positive for COVID-19

President Biden tested positive for COVID-19 Thursday, a day after traveling to Massachusetts where he delivered remarks on the "climate crisis."

Considering Biden’s age and degraded health I’d consider him more vulnerable. Probably won’t help his already reduced mental faculties either.

Supposedly Biden had a non-melanoma skin cancer that was 'treated' before he took office.

However, by their very nature, skin cancers are something you never 'fully' get rid of, because damaged DNA is still there, and those kind of cancers have a habit of reoccurring in other parts of the body, if they do return.

So it's likely this was both a gaffe and the truth; Biden may have lingering concerns about cancer reoccurring elsewhere in his body, but may also have not meant to say that yesterday.
