[Blind Gossip] The State of The Union address is an opportunity for all the Members of Congress to be together in one place.
When Senators and Congresspeople get together, what do they do?
They gossip!
The most interesting gossip coming out of last night’s gathering was about the mental and physical health of a famous male politician.
While there were varying opinions about his mental health, there was some agreement about his physical health.
He is not a well man. I’m not talking about his mental state. I’m talking about his physical health.
According to [redacted] and [redacted] and [redacted], he has Parkinson’s and cancer.
There was some dissent about exactly what kind of cancer he has. One said stomach cancer, one said colon cancer and one said colorectal cancer.
Although there was some dissent, those are still fairly consistent diagnoses.
Could these illnesses explain his appearance and/or his behavior?

Jason L says
Vladimir Putin. There is a video of him walking and he has the stiff gait of a Parkinson’s patient. Cancer rumors have been circulating since last year and in recent videos he looks bloated from steroids.
jaspern says
I watched Biden’s blooper reel from the unwatchable SOTU. He is hilarious and obviously not all there. Elder abuse is the new climate emergency. Clown show.
pricey524 says
I think it is hilarious that so many people are guessing Putin. The ONE person that knows Putin’s health history is either locked in a bunker or already dead.
F for the SOTU. I quite enjoyed when Biden’s amphetamines wore off. And did no one tell Kamala that the chairs have always been brown?
NCSweetPea61 says
Trump.
FiyahHotFlashy says
Congressman Ben Ray Lujan, New Mexico
Suffered a stroke and he just returned to Congress this week. He provides a crucial vote for the Dems
Pretender says
Definitely Putin. There was even something on the news the other night about his appearance and people speculating he is not well.
gpisces says
Supreme Court Justice Breyer
Mimi 12 says
Possibly Trudeau, based on the word dissent being referenced twice. During the truckers protest one of his tweets cam back to haunt him.
When a government starts trying to cancel dissent or avoid dissent is when it’s rapidly losing its moral authority to govern -Harper in 2005

parkland45 says
He’s 79 and has worked all his life trying to cover his stuttering. So it sounds weird, but that’s just Biden compensating for a speech impediment. I sure as heck am not worried about him being too elderly to run the country. He’s not trying to take over countries like that sick, megalomaniac in Moscow
gypjett says
He’s never stuttered. That is a fabrication created to explain his lost-in-space dementia speak. I have listened to him my whole life. They should do a blind about his old habit of swimming naked in front of professional women charged to protect him as Secret Service agent. It might be scrubbed from the internet by now. It’s fact.
splashy says
This is exactly what I’ve heard about Putin.
And:
1) Could be on a lot of meds = acting crazy (more than usual)
2) If he he’s not long for this world, he wants to go out in a “blaze of glory”
He makes me sick. His own people are suffering.

Hot Cocoa says
Putin.
CatInTheHat says
Kim Jong-Un I think. He’s lost so much weight so quickly, doesn’t look healthy.
CatInTheHat says
I didn’t watch speech. Am burned out on the politicians on both sides yelling and waving their arms, making promises they won’t or can’t keep. Meanwhile, the cost of everyday essentials just continues to rise with no end in sight. Actions speak louder than words. Am waiting for that.
traveler says
Yes. I’m surprised that this is the only commenter guessing him. Although it would be surprising if they actually knew what caused the weight loss.
Clinton is also a good guess. No way it’s Biden. BG never puts up a picture of the actual answer to the blind.
Didn’t watch SOTU, but have enjoyed the MTG/Bobert memes
hairsofthedog says
It’s interesting to read comments on the linked blind from 2019 – so many comments that Biden would never get the nomination for many reasons. Makes you wonder how we ended up with the two worst Democratic candidates as P/VP and who’s really pulling the strings. I used to believe my vote counted, but I’m not sure anymore.
kavanah says
“Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.”

monstica says
Wow! If this is Putin I am going to do a dance!!
parkland45 says
We all will…he’s beyond dangerous now.
apm1971 says
Biden from the basement. Spends lots of time in Delaware. He wasn’t well cognitively before the election, calling lids in the late morning, avoiding reporters questions, rambling and bumbling. He really isn’t running things anyway. The powers running things were always planning to replace him, the theory of many. The grade of the state of the union? I don’t care about that propaganda. I am working 3 jobs, living on anxiety to pay for the massive inflation and sky high gas prices:…
bubbasbbq says
This is Vladimir Putin. The last time I saw him on TV I thought he didn’t look right. He face was bloated he eyes were dull and he looked tired, which is not how he normally looks especially since he likes to project a very masculine air.
fotobandi says
Vladimir Putin, NOT Joe Biden.
spunkfunker says
Most likely Paul Gosar, but it could be the head of the GQP Putin. There have been roumors that he isn’t well. May explain his comically long tables as of late.
I don’t have the attention to sit through the SOTU but from the 30 minutes or so that I saw it were excellent.
ceeceeg says
I feel like Biden would be too obvious so in no particular order:
Rudy G
Trump
nowyoutellme says
To my mind, this can only be Joe Biden who is clearly not well either physically or mentally. Putting him in this position is akin to elder abuse.
I did not watch the SOTU.
K85john says
Putin
PieLies says
Joe Biden. He didn’t look well.
alexandrina says
Putin
Preacher_Cu5ter says
Man…chin
His SOTU was not really moving.
MsSumida says
Paul Gossart
Princess Consuela Bananahammock says
Putin. There has been a lot of talk that he has cancer which is why he looks so bloated and, to use another’s description, “ashen”.
Hope it is him and that it’s painful.
gogators says
I hope something stops him!
ginafair says
Man
President Biden
I would have said Alzheimers…although Parkinsons would explain things too.
I would give him a big fat D for the speech. F for the contents of the speech…but that’s not his fault – he is only reading what they wrote for him to say. At least he said it without garbeling his usual word salad. I’m sure they doped him up with steroids before the speech and he is probably still sleeping it off.
Lux Geminos says
Ailing politician is Putin. Biden gets an F for his constant epic failure. He is not in charge.
blablabla123 says
Well Thank God it’s not Trump who is in charge, he is basically the leader of Putin’s fan club. If he gets elected again the US will eventually be under an authoritarian regime just like the russians are.
wendybar says
blablabla123 – IF Trump WERE President, this wouldn’t be happening right now. He didn’t start any wars, nor did he poke the bear like Progressives have been doing for the last 10 years.
lila8245 says
My first thought was about Biden, but given that there is a picture of him on this blind I think that would make that guess way too obvious. My guess is McConnell.
Optional: Didn’t watch the whole thing, so I can’t say. What I will say, however, is that I’m sick of both parties. Both sides seem to be embracing extremism of different kinds, and that is dangerous for everyone and not a solution for anything. The behavior today is disgusting.
phat girl says
Totally agree. My independent status could not be more solid at this point.
gogators says
I truly believe Everyday-Americans want to get along and live in harmony.
I also believe that it is in the government’s interest to keep us fractured and apart.
kazzuri says
Putin, megalomania and dementia alright.
luddite2 says
Bill Clinton looks terrible. Biden had an opportunity to make an important statement about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but instead just slapped his own back. It was pathetic and week.
monstica says
Biden is too obvious, but when looking at Nancy Pelosi I thought she might have Tardive Dyskenesia related to Parkinson’s – lip smacking, weird hand movements etc
gogators says
Good Answer. . . But what could explain her actions during the “burn pits” part of the speech?
CaintGetEnuff says
I’ve thought that for a while. I thought she had ill-fitting dentures, but I believe now it’s TD. Since there are side effects from the TD meds, I thought that mat explain the hand rubbing thing she did.
chase0987 says
Vladimir Putin!
angelbratt says
I hope this is * joe. Didn’t watch the SOTU because the only things that come out of his mouth is either a lie or utterly ridiculous, sometimes not even cognitive.
DreamyVelvet says
I can’t watch him. He’s an absolute trainwreck and at this point it’s elder abuse. Confusing Ukrainians and Iranians is the least of it.
CreativeWasabi says
This is Vladimir Putin; there have been rumors for a long time now about him having cancer as well as PD.
I didn’t listen to Biden’s speech. I don’t like any State of the Union speech by any president; I find them very forced and phony with politicians (depending on the party in power) standing and clapping at all the “right” times an. However, I also find Biden painful to listen to (since he is so clearly struggling cognitively at times), which was another reason for me not to watch…
GirlPlease says
Putin.
There’s been speculation he’s got a terminal illness and this invasion was supposed to be his legacy. With any hope, the people of Russia will be free from his tyranny. One way or another.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
amagod121 says
Normally I’d guess Joe Biden but it’s known that Vlad Putin has Parkinson’s so I’ll choose him. If he perceives these days as his last, it helps to explain why he attacked the Ukraine – so he’d be around long enough to see it brought back into Russia’s fold. It also explains the extremely messy attack on the Ukraine if he is too unwell to give it his all. I’m unsure if those illnesses would cause his unwell look but it would seem so. As for Joe’s grade – C-. #NoRadicalBillsJoe!
brksideduo says
Putin is a dictator, not a politician.
RRRRRC says
Putin, of course. Thoughts and prayers, lol.
Biden’s speech: Ukraine portion B+ The rest :zzzzzzz
yikesahootie says
They can gossip all they like
victor says
Biden*
victor says
The powers that be know they have to announce something formal soon. The sham is up, particularly since Biden referred to the Ukrainian people as the “Iranian people”! What a shit show and embarrassing for our country.
victor says
Everyone is finally catching on and thank God. The “Parkinson’s/Cancer” will likely be the chosen excuse the White House will offer the people to save face. From real work experience with both Parkinson’s and Dementia patients, Biden’s exhibits all the earmarks of Dementia— stage 6. I have been telling my family this since December! He’s got to go folks. He is unfit.
Baileygirl says
I couldn’t agree more. First, they have to get rid of Kamala-she’s a joke which is in no way FUNNY! The plan is to oust Kamala, slip in Hillary, and then retire Joe. Just my opinion.
spoofbyrd says
Mitch McConnell had that purple arm . Ted Cruz is severely bloated . Rudy Giuliani has been mental and looked like hell for a long time . Trump had that colonoscopy . Then there is President Biden who allegedly wears a diaper and farted in front of Camilla Parker Bowles ,,, so pick’em !
The State of The Union address was fine . Not overwhelming not underwhelming . Standard which is fine .
BDBoop says
The dentist, the dude who siblings aren’t speaking to him. He looks like a bobble head.
I would give Joe an A. He hit all the high points, and I really hope he gets the reduced pricing on insulin passed.
Baileygirl says
I hope they find a way to use insulin to power cars.
beenee says
Also I think Biden did a great job. A very moderate toned speech.
beenee says
Putin!

Vladimir Putin
Didn’t watch the state of the union address
Catman says
Paul Gosar of Arizona. He has the same jerky movements that a Parkinson’s patient would exhibit. And no, it’s NOT Joe Biden!
ednatea says
I heard Putin might have Parkinson’s. But he’s been a cruel sociopath for a long time.
I give Biden an A for saying things that I hope will help to unite us after so much fighting and division.
gurutas says
The first reaction is biden. He had a yellow tinge to his skin. I said something about it whenhe came out. We know he is not healthy and could explain several things.
But my real guess is Jerry Nadler. He was using a walking stick, stayed seated everytime the camera was on him, and looked horrible. Has not been well for awhile.
I won’t grade the speech. Will leave that to others. I will admit I never thought he’d get through it and an excuse would be found to cancel it.
wfreshie says
also trumps looks like he is losing weight which cancer will cause to happen
wfreshie says
Trump his “forward leaning” is very common in people with parkinsons disease he also gets sudden jerking movements in his right arm……..I thought Biden was very good last night
smlopez5250 says
Putin has been looking all sorts of ill since the Olympics.
gailpow says
Putin of Russia. TV pundits are saying he looks ill and pale. His face is very bloated–maybe from steroids? Cancer was mentioned and might be why Putin decided for one last ill-conceived invasion into Ukraine since there’s not much time left before he heads straight to hell!
bec215d says
Putin. He’s been looking puffy in the face, is sitting a bizarre distance away from people in meetings, and has had apparent angry outbursts – very out of character.
The cancer rumor has been around at least since 2019, though, and 2020 gossip claimed he was stepping down in January 2021 and grooming his 35 year old daughter to replace him. Not putting much stock in these rumors, though… He’s 69 years old and surrounded for 20 yrs by yes-men. i think it’s a sickness born of sycophancy.
Prince4Ever says
Putin is a very sick man in more ways than one…I thought Biden was great. Who among us would be able to stand on their feet before the world and talk in complete sentences for over an hour. It’s exhausting to even consider it. Sure there were a few flubs…but (as he would say) ‘come on, man’…Biden overcame a STUTTER.
Back to Putin, he obviously wants to go out with a bang; let’s hope there’s one brave person with a soul in his bubble who can help bring the curtain down on this…
laurel74 says
Putin
mostlylurker says
* Mitch McConnell who has clearly been sick for a while.
Biden did great.
michelex23 says
I think everyone is gonna think it’s Joe, but the word dissent was used so I’m going with a Supreme Court Justice, Stephen Breyer?
kit e kat says
THIS^^^^^ I noticed he was looking a bit off during the speech. He decided to retire, probably due to health.
Putin is another candidate. Kim Jong Un and 45 as well. Gosar and Machine are gaunt, too. But McConnell might be the real answer. He looks downright frail, purple arm and all.
FrankLeeMyDear says
I thought I heard rumours a while back that Vladimir Putin was showing signs of Parkinson’s Disease. Don’t know about the cancer, though. But it does explain the use of the long conference table he uses. Maybe he doesn’t want closeness because people can see more easily that he’s ill & he probably is taking meds that suppresses the immune system and doesn’t want to catch anything from others.
danneka says
F –
This entire administration is a joke and I don’t think was legimately voted for. Pelosi is like Cruella de Ville and Harris is a cackling ding dong. I’m so sad that we have this current trio of fools.
Baileygirl says
Amen to that!
scumby says
Didn’t watch, just guessing Schumer
JHntr113 says
Well, if it’s the physical state we’re talking about, this is Vladimir Putin. Although I heard it was common cancer.
If it was a famous male politician’s mental state being gossiped about, well… we’ve been gossiping about that since he was Vice President.
JHntr113 says

Man: Mitch McConnell
Speech: Pretty sad speech. One of the worst and weakest I have seen from a President.
Searon says
Biden? Sadly, he already looks like he’s been embalmed. I think it’s sad.
lulus mom says
I saw where it was actually plastic surgery and fillers. Which, unfortunately, makes more sense.
real123 says
Sadly Biden,
Lewy Body Dementia I feel might be a closer diagnosis. Red flags with clenched fists at a Town Hall and his gait, he’s not fooling anyone when he tries to quickly jog to the podium. I’m not a doctor but have family experience like so many people do. Very Sad
aaaLizAH says
Vladimir Putin. Reportedly between 20-40% of people with Parkinson’s report the experience of hallucinations or delusions. Hallucinations and delusions are collectively referred to as psychosis.

HotTeacher88 says
I’ll guess Mitch McConnell for the sick one. I thought the president ‘s speech went well!
Alllie says
Joe Biden gets a “good reader award” for speech, all written & rehearsed. He’s weak &the world knows it. I worry about our safety in the US, him being led around by the hand, & unwarranted anger at reporters. sad to see the vultures Kamala & Pelosi sitting behind him while it happens.
in 2020 JB said “Like I told Barack, if I reach something where there’s a fundamental disagreement we have based on a moral principle, I’ll develop some disease and say I have to resign”
I see it coming…
kelno19 says
Rick Scott.
JulientK says
Is it sad that it could be Joe Biden or it could be Putin? Who even knows at this point.
Biden and the Democrats have been beyond useless. The good news is that they are so incompetent, that it will hopefully make their incompetence impossible to forget come elections. Bad news, is that we have another 3 years.
aaaKJ100 says
Obviously Putin – he looks horrible. The weird thing, is, if I was on the way out, I’d try to go out on a positive note. Not starting WW3. BIden is losing it mentally. It wouldn’t surprise me if this becomes a situation like Reagan where Jill Biden ends up running things.
carriebradshaw says
Putin. He was always evil, but there has to be some reason why he’s suddenly started to act as if he has lost his mind.
pawpaw says
Biden
He looks ill and it’s so obvious when he speaks.
KeepGuessing57 says
While I suppose based on the similar clue, the obvious guess is Biden but I find it hard to believe he could be fighting cancer without it being more obvious something was wrong though presidential illnesses have been hidden before. I’m wondering if its Trump?
Didn’t watch the speech. Doesn’t matter what a politician says, what matters is what they can get through Congress.
Madam Kitty says
Putin. Hopefully he’s toast soon.

SOTU – C/D, closer to D
DaniJo says
Man: Joe Biden
Optional: I would give him an ‘A’ for the speech. I find it a bit disturbing that people (within government and elsewhere) are speculating about his health. I know politicians lie but he actually doesn’t strike me as the type that would keep something that serious a secret.

mrs_right says
Probably Biden.
I did not watch. I can’t remember the last time I watched a SOTU speech. They’re all just puppets, anyway. The real power goes on behind the scenes.
pharmchick says
Politician in question is without a doubt Biden. Its shameful actually to force a guy in his mental condition and age to continue to be paraded as the leader of this country. Im not even going to discuss political stances at this point. Any other person in his condition would be enjoying his old age at home or in a facility. There really has to be a law preventing people after a certain age in any form of government leadership, whether its president, senator, governor, mayor etc.
Searon says
Agreed. Problem is, no one decent wants the job.
beachchick218 says
This is Joe Biden. They knew these things when they nominated him. He should never have been the democrat nominee. His statement about the “pound of Ukranian people” was embarrassing. His other gaffes and made-up words were cringeworthy. He also blatantly lied and didn’t address issues of national importance to the American people.
The whole world knows he’s not fit. A disgrace to our country.
Final Grade: F-

Man: Joe Biden
He absolutely has the facial look and walking manner of a Parkinson’s disease sufferer. As for his mental state, here’s two direct quotes from his SOTU address;
“Putin may surround Kyiv with tanks but he will never gain the hearts and minds of the IRANIAN people.”
and
When talking about a tax credit he said it was for “whiterizing our homes”.
I am disgusted by his handlers (worst offender being power-mad Jill Biden) for what can only be called elder abuse.
Searon says
We continue a downward slope.

Biden earned his F rating here.
Rambling and not on target at all. He needs to reopen the Keystone pipeline and to STOP paying Russia for Gas/Oil. Talk about helping the enemy here. He didn’t address the border situation (hey–remember that?) & the very real need to get the economy going again. Kamala’s frozen smile along with Pelosi’s weird mouth movements were a joke.

Putin the murderer. Rumours abound about his health for a while.
Worrying because he may think if he’s going down he wants to bring everyone with him.

Gerseychick says
Dementia Joe walked off the helicopter the other day very oddly…After his speech last night he did not walk back up the steps..Every other President walks up the steps after the State of the Union Speech…He ended his speech with the fight against cancer…He should step down for the good of the Country…
yesiamserious says
The obvious choice is POTUS, but this blind is about Mitch McConnell. His failing health has been an open secret in Washington for over a year now.
jules2424 says
I’ve seen this rumor about Putin. I skipped the State of the Union, same as I skipped pep rallies in high school. Never been a fan of rah rah speeches. I’d rather just read the facts somewhere.

The sources were people * commenting on Vladimir Putin.
chica1984 says
Justice Breyer?
truthseeker says
Clearly the answer is Biden! We already knew this. Why did the media prop him up? Why does congress prop him up? Why does his staff prop him up? When they know he’s not well? Because the globalists are running things. These people need to pay for the irreparable damage that’s being done to our country.
