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.

    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.

      Me, I’m just blocking and moving on. I’ve seen enough of the Macedonian Contractor Troll Farm pablum. They’re in every politics thread now.

      And just like the highly suspicious stop oil protests that inexplicably target museums, I don’t disagree with some of their points at all but the way they’re being complete fucking idiots about it means we’re done here.

        Damn those Macedonian trolls must be working overtime to hijack polls to put Biden’s approval 17 points underwater and put him 5 points behind Trump.

        Apparently 86% of Americans are Macedonian trolls who think Biden is too old to serve a second term.

        All these Macedonian trolls that barely trust Biden more on climate change, gun violence, and abortion than trust neither Trump nor Biden.

      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.

        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.

            No, we know, those of us that lean left-for-an-American, anyway. We just don’t want an actual communist state. They have this nasty habit of turning into dictatorships somehow. We at least get to throw our shitheels out of office periodically, without having to resort to violence.

            People with critical thinking skills are able to recognize that left and right have different meanings depending on the frame and context. In an American economic frame, Democrats are left, but in a European economic frame their beliefs are center right.

            Similarly, in an American social frame, Democrats are left, and in a European social frame, their beliefs are left as well. Labour is disgustingly TERF, and significantly further right than Democrats when it comes to trans rights.

            Immigration as well, the American frame tends to be more left than Europe. The recent bipartisan agreement was rather center for Europe, but right for the US. European immigration policy tends to not be as leftist.

            Frankly, it’s just economic reductionism to say “the American left is actually right”. I can look at Europe and see pretty clearly that Democrats are solidly left on social issues to the point of exceeding some European parties.

        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.

            If Trump somehow ends up as the Republican candidate again, we won’t get any coherent general debates anyway. And besides, I only ever hear criticisms about his mental state from right wingers as it is, so I find it hard pressed to care.
