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.

ā€œJust like we drew it up,ā€ Biden posted on X alongside a photo of ā€œDark Brandon,ā€ the meme created by hardcoreā€”and very onlineā€”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 Cityā€™s favor to give maximum exposure to a yet-to-be-announced endorsement from Chiefs star Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

    Biden is perfectly functional even if you donā€™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 isnā€™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.

      Thereā€™s no primary debate, theyā€™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 didnā€™t do that, and people want me to clap for him like an intern doesnā€™t run his twitter.

        If Trump somehow ends up as the Republican candidate again, we wonā€™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.
