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.
It’s crazy. Any leftie knows this is a plain joke while the wingnutters on the right take every facet of it seriously. Meanwhile, trump says some pretty terrifying shit and means it, but the right has to translate it as “he was joking.”
Not a USer, what I find utterly bonkers is seeing clips of them discussing the dark Brandon conspiracy on fox news, like it’s real and relevant political discourse. Wtaf is wrong with that portion of you population.
My sneaking suspicion is that a majority of the adult population has passed well beyond the sub-acute level of lead exposure and is now showing the side effects.
Lead paint, TEL, 100LL.
*American Internet
Rest does not give a shit
America invented the internet, silly.
Here we go again… The web, which is what most people think about when saying “internet”, is an European invention.
So the low level stuff is American, but higher level stuff is European. But then again, were could claim that “web 2.0” was invented by American companies.
Internet is 70% American?
You can argue about this all day long. The web was invented on a Next computer, created by Steve Jobs, written in C or maybe C++, also invented by Americans.
Point is, a thousand different things had to come together from all over the world to create the modern Internet. I don’t think it’s accurate to say only one entity was responsible for it.
Edit: A gigantic amount of the Internet and its infrastructure runs on an OS written by a dude from Finland.
Unless that entity is Al Gore.
Heh. AI Gore. My font doesn’t differ on l and I.
Clearly. As non-US person, clearly see this whole US political shit like a reality-show, so there is no room for this kind of thing in my memory.
As non-US person, we watched the Superbowl in anguish, fearing a win for SF would directly lead to a Trump win and a destruction of the current world order!
Please don’t joke about this. This is legitimately how politics work here now.
Liking the Chiefs is now “woke.”
Damn I guess I like KC now.
Actually I like whoever is the most fun to watch. I like Seattle for that reason, and I liked KC when it was Mahomes and Tyreek Hill.
Whatever is fun to watch. That’s whats most important.

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.
Trump skipped the White House Correspondence Dinners.
And we all know we can’t ask for anything better than that…
-
I don’t care.
-
What?
All I want is a functional adult in the White House.
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.
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.
Because he’s the president who’s trying to convince us that everything is fine?
When has he done that?
A strong economy means companies are doing well, when companies are doing well, the average worker isn’t being paid enough.
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.
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!
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.
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?

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.
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.
