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.

    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.

              No literally Biden personally bypassed Congress in December.

                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.
