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. Why would anyone think Biden is actually posting this shit to social media himself?

    2. 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 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.

      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.
