President Joe Biden had conspiracy theorists in a tizzy after posting what appeared to be his reaction to the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday night.
“Just like we drew it up,” Biden posted on X alongside a photo of “Dark Brandon,” the meme created by hardcore—and very online—supporters of Donald Trump that Biden and his team loved so much they adopted it as their own.
The post was apparently referencing far-right conspiracy theories which posit the NFL and high-level government operatives conspired to rig the Super Bowl in Kansas City’s favor to give maximum exposure to a yet-to-be-announced endorsement from Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.
Why would anyone think Biden is actually posting this shit to social media himself?
Why do they keep hiring interns that want to make Biden seem like trump?
All I want is a functional adult in the White House. But that’s just not an option these day.
I’d ask if “moderates” ever feel embarrassed over this stupid shit, but it’s been obvious for decades their line is habitually right above republican.
So whatever bullshit Republicans are fine with, give it 4-8 years and both parties are going to act like it’s normal.
Biden could have given the traditional pre game interview and alleviated fears of his ability. Instead he cancels it for the second year in a row and the media pretends he’s posting “dank memes” and that’s just as good.
I don’t care.
What?
You have one. Hence the U.S. economy getting back on track, inflation dropping, unemployment low, fuel costs low and infrastructure finally getting rebuilt. Plus much cheaper insulin for seniors.
Ohhhhh! Wait, what you meant is that all you want is someone to do exactly what you want them to do. My mistake.
It’s nearly impossible to argue with manufactured outrage. They don’t want a logical debate. There will be no logic in their argument. Your stance can come from a place of reason, and humanity- and they’ll still shit all over it because it’s what’s cool to do now.
RECORD HOMELESSNESS
Exactly what do you expect Biden to do about that?
Fuck all.
Okay, then why associate it with him?
Because he’s the president who’s trying to convince us that everything is fine?
A strong economy means companies are doing well, when companies are doing well, the average worker isn’t being paid enough.
When has he done that?
Again, what can he do about this?
He put forward a bill that ended up creating and will create a lot of jobs. He can’t control what people are paid in those jobs and he also cannot control rent and housing prices.
You seem to be forgetting that this was about someone claiming they wanted a “functional adult” in the White House, followed by me pointing out a lot of things he’d accomplished and ‘functional’ does not mean ‘does everything you want.’
And you basically chime in complaining that he isn’t doing everything you want.
President Joe Biden to repeatedly ask his advisers: Why then are so many Americans still not feeling great about the economy?
They’re are no homeless people anymore.
We just have people experiencing homelessness. It’s way better this way.
Lmao.
Woohoo I am glad we care more about money instead of the fact that we are supporting the killing of innocent children.
Thank god that almighty dollar is there, it is so much more important than human life!
Yes, believe it or not, being able to pay the bills and feed my family is of a higher priority to me. And while we’re at things I can see Trump doing, I’d prefer not to have my queer daughter put in a “conversion therapy” camp.
Ah I see.
To me peoples lives are more important than a conversion camp.
Here’s a secret to life, as long as someone is still alive, we can work on helping them.
Once they’re dead though, completely different.
Sorry, are you saying I should prioritize other people’s lives over my child’s?
Are you fucking nuts?
You can’t see the difference there, really?
I think you may be being a little shady here, friend, just a little bit deceptive, because I don’t believe that you were stupid enough to not see the difference between supporting the actual physical life of someone and not getting everything you fucking want?
Are you going to be the one putting your daughter in the conversion camp?
No?
Yeah, that’s how the actual conversion camps?
So you’re deliberately trying to make a false equivalence here?
Now you could tell me to worry about other peoples children, but that doesn’t give you the personal grab and shield did it being your own daughter does, does it?
So surely you’re not using loaded language here?
Look at the straight facts, your boy is supporting and directly enabling the killing of 10,000 innocent children.
Ones who will never even get the chance to grow.
That is what you support, you can hide from that fact all you want.
Fuck Trump and Fuck Biden.
They can both die today and we could have 2 more public fucking toilets.
As long as you people keep fucking supporting them no matter what then they will never change.
You people are just as bad as the motherfuckers that have to carry a pistol just to walk to their cars.
You all are letting fear ruin your ability to have anything fucking better.
You are holding the rest of us back with you.
Do you know how many stupid motherfuckers I hear voting for bad people just to “ be moderate” but really they wish they could have insert actual good choice here?
If even half of them would vote for the “not safe” candidate then they would win by a landslide.
Instead people who like the motherfucking status quo hide behind the “safe choice” just so that they can pretend that they are fine with children dying as long as it is far away from them.
Try thinking about something or someone that doesn’t directly affect or connect to you.
“Fuck You, I Got Mine!”, where oh where have I seen that attitude before?
But yeah, I’m glad you can ignore it just because you aren’t affected by it.
That’s a lot of words to tell me that I should, in fact, care about other people more than my daughter.
I sincerely hope you don’t have children.
Here, let me shorten it.
Yes, there are times that you should, in fact, care about other people more than your daughter.
I care more about other people when they’re hungry, than my child getting an ice cream.
I have taken the money that I was going to use to get there an ice cream to give to someone that was homeless.
It’s almost like we as adults can understand it worse, things can be happening to someone else that we should divert some type of resource away from ourselves in our families to stop the other thing.
Here’s an easier example, there are people all over America that take money that could be used on their children’s toys during Christmas time,and instead donate that money, so that other children can have things.
Human life is supported by the almighty dollar. Like it or not, that’s how it is. I have to feed my children, don’t I? And Biden did the best he could to get the economy back on track. He succeeded. But by all means, let’s not give him any credit because he is not perfect.
This person actually thinks you and I should put other people’s lives over our own children’s lives.
False equivalence they aren’t both ending in death.
With a proper support system, your daughter will be fine no matter what the outside world is like
“It’s okay if your daughter suffers as long as she doesn’t die.”
Fucking listen to yourself.
My daughter will not be fine. This is what Trump did in his first term:
https://www.hrc.org/news/the-list-of-trumps-unprecedented-steps-for-the-lgbtq-community
Trump is a clear and present danger to queer people.
The fact is that you just don’t give a shit about queer people.
So what is the exchange rate between “potential things that trump might do” and actual physical deaths that Biden has supported.
How many deaths does it take to change your mind?
How many of other people’s children are you willing to sacrifice to keep biden in the White House?
Yes, you’ve already made it clear that you don’t give a shit about queer people.
How many deaths did Trump cause 2016-2020? Care to count them? It’s not about what Trump might do. It’s about what he’s done and has promised that he will do.
Dictator for a day.
What do you think that means exactly?
So that, to you, is worth all of the dead children that have happened because of the weapons we sent?
This is probably a foreign concept, but it’s important to understand in case you’re ever in a plane crash. When the oxygen masks come down, you put your oxygen mask on first. Then you help others.
You’re welcome, if you’re ever in a plane crash I just saved your life and the people around you. And yes you are welcome because you clearly did not understand the concept based on the comment I’m replying to.
So in this analogy, the ‘people in the plane around you’ are actually the Palestinian civilialians that we are genociding? And you think it is fine to financially and rhetorically support an ongoing genocide as long as domestic issues are being taken care of?
This seems to be the opposite of the “we can walk and chew gum at the same time” type of rhetoric we hear often from the Democrats.
Trump skipped the White House Correspondence Dinners.
And we all know we can’t ask for anything better than that…
I got a chuckle out of it. the real problem with biden is he’s funding a genocide abroad while going easy on secessionists at home.
He’s got a couple.
But mentioning them in comments or articles gets a shit ton of down votes.
People really think talking about problems is worse than the problems and we should ignore them
It’s not because we don’t think problems should be talked about, it’s that you’re comparing a functional adult to Trump and acting like you can’t tell the difference. I’ll help, there’s only one real difference: Biden isn’t a fucking traitor. That’s the one that we care about.
So drop the act, bud. This one is too simple even for the dullards like me to forget: Trump is a traitor, Biden is not, and we don’t vote for traitors.
Nope
Biden is a better president than trump, that’s indisputable.
That doesn’t mean Biden is good enough to be president.
Hell, I don’t even know you, but I fell confident you’re better than trump. If you wouldn’t support a genocide, I’d say you’re a better option than both of them.
It’s a pretty low bar, lots of potential candidates not only would be a better president, but more importantly have a better chance of winning the election.
Hey, I want AOC to run, but until then I’m not going to discourage people from voting for the only candidate who’s not going to piledrive the US headfirst into the dirt.
So again, drop the act. Yeah you want a better candidate than Biden, great; that’s not the choice. The choice is Biden or Trump. If you don’t vote for Biden, your voting for Trump. If you don’t believe that fine, stop reading; if you do, there’s nothing more to say anyway.
You still don’t get it…
This is the same shit we went thru with Hillary.
Biden is unpopular. He will depress turnout. Depressed turnout is how republican presidents are made.
I hope some day you get that, but I’m not explaining it again.
Better a traitor than a genocidal action supporting motherfucker.
They’re not mutually exclusive and Trump will do the same or worse as has already been seen.
Also, you’re wrong.
See you say that, but he was in office and we still supported 0 genocides.
So the total score is 0 genocides to 1
You do realize that Israel was not suddenly funded and armed by the US when Biden was elected, right? Trump’s administration gave them plenty of money and weapons, and showed strong support for Netanyahu. He empowered an apartheid regime, and when recently asked about the Palestinian genocide, he said he wouldn’t accept any Palestinian refugees.
So, your position puts you in favor of denying Palestinian refugees while their genocide continues. You’d prefer for Trump to have a genocide of 1.5 (or whatever denying genocide refugees would be worth numerically) vs Biden at 1, because Trump happened to not be in power when Israel decided to use their weapons from the US to ramp up airstrikes.
Oh! And you are aware that this genocide has been going on for a while now right? Not just since 2021? So Trump was not only in support of a genocide, he was buddy buddy with Netanyahu. At least Biden seems to hate the man.
I truly don’t understand your logic. You’ve willfully contorted yourself to give Trump a pass to instead criticize Biden.
Fuck Donald Trump. Is that clear enough for you?
I never thought Biden’s was that great of a present, but he was exactly what I expected, a middle of the line milquetoast gonna pull off what he can thing.
Then he kept giving weapons to the Israelis, I can’t forgive that.
They’re both poop, so just preferring the smell of one steaming pile over the other doesn’t make it better. Turning and burning in the sun and fertilize healthier crops may.
Biden has been one of the most progressive presidents in decades. But you didn’t get your cookies and milk, so he’s poop. Got it.
No all you want to do is shit on Biden because it’s all you do. Apparently adults can’t have a sense of humor.
Oh the horror!
Someone wants a functional president who does interviews and addresses concerns of voters!!!
If someone wants that instead of an intern posting shitty memes that means they’re a hater and we ignore every criticism they have!
Kanye fuck West said that’s reality and trump is so far gone that Biden acting like Kanye is totally fine and nothing to worry about!
/S
Fuck off with that stupid shit.
Americans are allowed to want more than the current shit show.
If you want a political party where voters cant criticize an elected official, feel free to try and get republicans back to the middle instead following them to right dragging the dead body of FDRs party.
Biden is perfectly functional even if you don’t agree with the specifics. Comparing him to trump is utterly disingenuous. Posting one joke every now and again is a far, far cry from the deranged ranting we see out of trump every day.
The issue isn’t the one joke
The issue is he once again skipped the pregame interview. Despite constant criticism of his mental ability, he never sits down for an interview.
Hell give a 5 minute speech or a quick comment. And usually mix up a couple words.
There’s no primary debate, they’ll be general debate, Biden needs to actually show Americans he can at least hold a conversation, and there was literally no better opportunity than the traditional pregame interview.
But he didn’t do that, and people want me to clap for him like an intern doesn’t run his twitter.
At least be honest. You don’t want a functional president, you want a left-leaning one. That’s fine, but at least represent yourself accurately. Otherwise you’re just acting with the same childishness as the guys on the other side of the aisle.
From a pure functionality perspective, he’s gotten a shitload done. Even if you don’t agree with it all, like helping Netanyahu and such.
American “left” is really right and it’s disgusting people with or without critical thinking skills can’t recognize that.
You think Dark Brandon didn’t do this? You simple fool…
