This is great, but what I’m really struck by is the Fox News homepage’s top story is about the autopsy of Obama’s chef? I didn’t realize how out of touch I am with right wing media. I assume there is some conspiracy that Obama had his chef killed for “reasons”? Or maybe this is some vaccine conspiracy? Can you imagine what your brain would be like if this was your main source of news?
I just checked as I’m writing this out of curiosity. Top story on CNN is Prigozhin being killed. Top story on Fox News is “Hunter Biden went on foreign trips.” No wonder so many people’s brains are rotten.
Excellent point. Thank you.
To be fair, the autopsy of Putin’s chef isn’t out yet
I’m really looking forward to confirmation that Prigozhin was on that flight, not just the flight list.
Dark Brandon is cringe af, but it’s funny how bent out of shape some people get about it.
I think it’s some amusing trolling.
It’s a dumb meme that lives rent free in idiots heads
With special thanks to the empathy-challenged wing of the political spectrum:
For those unfamiliar with the lore, the “Dark Brandon” meme originated out of a conservative insult lobbed at the president during a NASCAR race in 2021. Racegoers yelling “Fuck Joe Biden” were misheard by a reporter as saying “Let’s go, Brandon,” and thus, a new slogan for Donald Trump supporters was born.
But over the course of the last two years, the GOP’s beloved anti-Biden rallying cry has morphed into a boon for the president’s reelection campaign. Biden staffers and voters online embraced the joke to communicate that, yes, the 80-year-old was the bogeyman conservatives believed him to be, if only because he was successfully pushing through an agenda they hated.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“Dark Brandon,” Joe Biden’s undying alter ego, has appeared on everything from baseball caps to crop tops.
Throughout the entire day, Biden’s reelection team will be running an ad campaign featuring the meme on the Fox News website.
The ads call attention to Biden’s campaign promises to protect abortion rights, lower the cost of prescription drugs, and defend social security, as first reported by People magazine Wednesday.

The original article contains 294 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 48%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
We appreciate you, bot.
Biden wishes he had the cult of personality that Trump has had. Maybe GOP voters are actually persuaded by it.
(1) Unlike Trump, I really don’t think Biden wanted to run a cult - for the same reason that humans with empathy would never want such a thing. (2) I seem to recall that Trump found many in his cult to be quite creepy - referring to them as ‘disgusting’ for instance.

To me he’s been a shitty president. Where’s my student loan forgiveness, you senile old fuck? Oh, too busy handing out free military equipment
The loan forgiveness was killed in the courts. The president doesn’t have the power required to forgive student loans. As far as I know, the only way left to do loan forgiveness is through a bill passed through congress.
Exactly - thank you.
Bidens plan was designed to fail so they could blame the courts for his incompetence. Roberts mentioned in his piece that the wrong method of canceling debt was used, the exact opposite of what Biden was advised to use.
Democrats are ineffective at governing and need to stop being rewarded with reelection
Sure it’s possible it was “designed to fail” but not because the wrong method was used but because our current extremist supreme court would have used any excuse to stop it. It was based on the same HEROES Act that Trump’s pause of student loans was based on and the act explicitly says “waive or modify” loans so if Biden’s cancelation was illegal then so was Trump’s pause.
Here is a quote from the DOJ: “The plain text of the HEROES Act authorizes the Secretary to “waive or modify any statutory or regulatory provision applicable to” the federal student loan program, … We conclude that targeting relief towards those individuals who suffered financial hardship because of COVID -19 and who otherwise satisfy the requirements of the Act accords with the Act’s requirement that the waiver or modification “be necessary to ensure that” student loan recipients who are “affected” by a national emergency “are not placed in a worse position financially” with respect to their loans as a result.”
From this law blog
He purposely chose the wrong method is all anyone needs to hear. It doesn’t matter what happens after that. Choosing the wrong method purposely makes him 100% to blame.
Do you have a link to this piece that you could share?
Oh my god [edited to be civil and respectful] even if democrats got literally nothing done they’d still be infinitely better than the entirely corrupt party of intentionally backsliding morons. At this point the republicans and their supporters are a big enough threat to our democracy that enough trademarked democratic infighting could actually bring this whole system down, and not in the way you’d want.
Viewing both parties from the outside, you are both a threat.
Jesus christ
Where’s your knowledge of current events led you man? That was struck down by the Republican dominated Supreme Court. Biden fought hard to get it that far, and his attempts fall in line with the original HEROS Act of 2003. It was the conservatives who robbed you of student loan forgiveness, not Biden
