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.
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.

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.

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?
Your responses are more like Republican rhetoric rather than a mutual understanding. Record homelessness has alot more to do with the grand Cheeto and his inability properly manage the pandemic than anything Joe did. And there is only so much he can do when there are so many reasons it got out of hand. He’s doing better than most and it would be great if it went away. Holding corporate overlords would be more useful than blaming the politicians that are trying.
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…
Actions speak louder than words my friend. Most people are still struggling with rent and food.
Bidenomics Is Working: The President’s Plan Grows the Economy from the Middle Out and Bottom Up—Not the Top Down
“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.

Have you not seen videos of him gloating about bidenomics?

Not really, the economy is still not working for the majority of people and he’s trying to convince us that it’s good. That is the end of my assertion.
if the president doesn’t have the power to do anything, why are you so scared of how I’ll vote?

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.

this is rhetoric, not a rebuttal
Sure. You and Trump.
this is some pretty ham-fisted pigeonholing

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.
there’s no evidence i can’t imagine a solution such as that, only that i havent presented one here
and how many air craft carriers does one navy need? i think most countries get by without any.
air craft carries can certainly provide medical treatment and social services on site

>you claims that battlefield medicine on a battleship is the same as long-term medical and psychiatric care provided to civilians.
i didn’t say that. this is a strawman
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.
GREAT TASTE
They’re are no homeless people anymore.
We just have people experiencing homelessness. It’s way better this way.
Lmao.
