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.

    1. I don’t care.

    2. 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.

      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.

            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

              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.
