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.

      It’s not. He’s in office during a crisis and directly involved. It’s not some big conspiracy but this is why “celebrity” politicians are a bad idea. You don’t get to shit post if you have access to nuclear weapons. Is it funny? Sure. But all it did for me was solidify how out of touch democrats are right now.

        nooo but our heckin epic presidenterino! that’s MY president! he’s really sticking it to the woke libs, or, no, I mean the nazi chuds! he’s really sticking it to them! he’s such a le ebin troll, guys! he’s a master baiter! he posted this personally for our salvation! I’m sure this will help his poll numbers! don’t forget to vote for our heckin ebin president now guys!

        I have brain worms. the situation is not looking good. the libs are just as broken as the chuds. maybe even more, in certain respects. it’s all about respectability politics and proper order, until the president, personally, at the age of 81, posts a meme, definitely him and not some intern. then it’s time to shit on the “other side”, even though they all agree on the most basic premises, and just not on what level of racist they should be.

      The Genocide that happened during the Super Bowl is unrelated to Biden posting a meme about his “secret plan” that was executed during the Super Bowl?

        Probably.

        More probable than the scenario you’re painting. I mean, if Biden did have anything to do with that, he wouldn’t put a spotlight on it by tweeting about it. (And no, don’t start to accuse him with “distraction” or “false flag” tactics, that’s just doubling down with conspiracy theories, we’re better than that)

          Of course it’s not intentional but it was insanely bad timing nonetheless.

          While Biden is in hot water over his Genocide in Gaza his campaign goes making Homelander style tweets at arguably the worst timing possible.

          The real meaning of the tweet was likely supposed to reference the stupid right wing Taylor Swift conspiracy of the super bowl being rigged but now Biden is getting flak from both the right and the left for entirely different reasons.

            You sound like Biden personally started the clusterfuck in Gaza.

            Spoiler alert: he didn’t.

              You sound like Genocide Joe didn’t personally bypass congress to give the IDF 15 million in tank and mortar shells to commit Genocide with

              Spoiler alert: he did.

                I’m aware. You on the other hand should read the definition of ‘personally’.

                There’s a whole swathe of right-wing Israeli characters you could blame before ever getting to Biden. Unlike him, they’re all adamantly unapologetic about the whole thing.

                Unless your only agenda is badmouthing Biden you should probably at least try to get your facts straight.

                    Yes, but he still didn’t kill anyone personally, nor did he order anyone to get shot, unless you can prove otherwise. I’d love to see you try.

        Yeah obviously

        It’s about that silly conspiracy that he had fixed the Super Bowl for the Chiefs to win
