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.
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.
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.
No. No there absolutely are not. And if you think that and you are a parent, you should absolutely have CPS called on you.
Your examples have nothing to do with a child’s welfare, which is obviously what we are talking about here.
And my daughter’s welfare, based on what TRUMP HAS ALREADY DONE is at stake here.
You just don’t give a shit because you don’t care about queer people.
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.
To where is the helping others part here?
Is… is it inside all of the bombs?
Is that why Israel is dropping so many bombs for all the help that’s inside of them?
Shit! I didn’t know, my bad.
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?
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?
Play the same game with Biden and trump.
That is how it should be, just because one does something doesn’t mean you forgive the other if they do it just because they are on the same side as you.
Fuck them both. Trump killed people through not acting with Covid.
Trump is a complete and total piece of shit just like fucking Biden.
I do not give a shit how good you made the fucking economy or whatever.
You are still giving bombs to people to kill children with.
Yes, you’ve already made it clear that you don’t give a shit about queer people.
this is bad faith
So that, to you, is worth all of the dead children that have happened because of the weapons we sent?
I think the deal is more “My family is safe and healthy and that is important to me” over “wow I don’t care at all about dead foreign kids.”
In a 2-party system, sometimes that’s the best you can get… and frankly, I give more of a shit about myself and my friends/family who would be much worse off under Republicans than Democrats, enough that if I have to id vote Democrat every time until the immediate threat of Republicans is dealt with.
And again, because you just don’t seem to get it, Republicans have an even worse track record on the middle east lol. (Not intended as a whataboutism - more as an explanation that the two-party system sucks, and how not voting for one effectively means the other wins)
RECORD HOMELESSNESS
Exactly what do you expect Biden to do about that?
He should be like Jimmy Carter and start building them homes himself, by hand. /s
Anything would be better than the gas lighting bullshit they’re trying to pull at the moment.
what “gaslighting” is biden doing about homelessness?
Bidenomics Is Working: The President’s Plan Grows the Economy from the Middle Out and Bottom Up—Not the Top Down
Not about homelessness per se, just the economy as a whole.
oh, so you admit that you were lying.
Well no, there’s still record homelessness. That’s still the reality.
“I say shocking this for response rather than actually responding to the words being said to me for understanding!”
Sorry?
put an aircraft carrier at every major port and open it up for public housing. or just use the pentagon.
So… displace all the people who already live on the aircraft carrier (making them homeless) and make our military budget have to be much more bloated by spreading out the workforce across DC or the country and we’ll solve homelessness?
Because I don’t live near a port or The Pentagon and I’m pretty sure there are a lot of homeless people here.
Lake Michigan, and Lake Erie aren’t too far away from you. The Ohio River as well.
/s
something tells me the people *stationed* on the carrier also have homes (or could afford them with all the money the government doles out for them). and i didn’t say it was a panacea, just that it’s something he could do to address the record homelessness.
Oh, well, as long as something tells you that they could afford a home, then that must be true.
i have pretty good intuition.
all evidence to the contrary.
Sure. You and Trump.
and how would cramming a bunch of homeless people on an aircraft carrier help them? it’s not really designed to house civilians. and what would they do for work? there’s not exactly a transit system to get them to and from jobs, medical appointments, necessary social services, etc. They’d be stuck on the ship.
you should look into what life on an active naval vessel is like-- it’s not exactly conducive to either civilian life nor to taking care of a bunch of homeless people who have complex social, psychological, and medical needs. this wouldn’t solve any problems and owuld create a lot of new ones-- not to mention that we need those aircraft carriers.
air craft carries can certainly provide medical treatment and social services on site
not that type of help or for that number of people all at once for a sustained amount of time. but, sure, go ahead and provide evidence for you claims that battlefield medicine on a battleship is the same as long-term medical and psychiatric care provided to civilians.
there is no reason they need to work
uh… to support themselves by earning an income? being unable to afford housing is most often the reason they’re homeless in the first place.
if being in ship is not a workable solution, he could always sell the ship to fund programs to relieve homelessness
it’s pretty telling that you can’t simply imagine a solution where more money is appropriated to fund such programs rather than the absurd notion of selling of critical military hardware.
this is a dumb solution, the aircraft carrier thing, but the spirit of a US military intervention in order to build housing, is, I’m pretty sure, totally within biden’s jurisdiction, and would be a pretty good solution to the problem.
I think it would be flashy. I’m not sure it’s the most effective thing, but it would have panache
if you’re chasing panache, I would probably just like, do some light anti-corporate government funded terrorism, which the government has, for some reason, been somewhat reluctant to fund, relative to your regular right wing domestic wedge issue diet fascist terrorism. Can’t imagine why. But that could have some serious flash. Oh no! Somebody dumped 5 metric tons of manure right at google headquarters! Stuff like that, that could have some flash, some sizzle. And, blam, seems like we have a very desperate population of homeless people who are on dire straits and have very little left to lose, who could accomplish these tasks! What joy!
But yeah I dunno if there’s a great flashy way to like. Solve homelessness.
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.
The problem here is you are asking someone that doesn’t really want an answer or likely to even be fixed they just want to say something loud and blame someone else.
If it wasn’t this it’d be another bigger picture problem blamed one on individual.
President Joe Biden to repeatedly ask his advisers: Why then are so many Americans still not feeling great about the economy?
Is that supposed to be your proof of Biden trying to convince us that everything is fine?
Because maybe you should have read the article to the end…
“Why aren’t people feeling good about this?” is pretty much the polar opposite of “convincing us that everything is fine”. Trying to understand why people aren’t fine despite economic “indicators” is exactly what I want a leader to do.
where is this happening?
Have you not seen videos of him gloating about bidenomics?
being proud of the success of his economic policy != your claim.
wanna try that again?
if the president doesn’t have the power to do anything, why are you so scared of how I’ll vote?

GREAT TASTE
They’re are no homeless people anymore.
We just have people experiencing homelessness. It’s way better this way.
Lmao.
