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.

    Of course itā€™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 didnā€™t.

        You sound like Genocide Joe didnā€™t personally bypass congress to give the IDF 15 million in tank and mortar shells to commit Genocide with

        Spoiler alert: he did.

          Iā€™m aware. You on the other hand should read the definition of ā€˜personallyā€™.

          Thereā€™s a whole swathe of right-wing Israeli characters you could blame before ever getting to Biden. Unlike him, theyā€™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 didnā€™t kill anyone personally, nor did he order anyone to get shot, unless you can prove otherwise. Iā€™d love to see you try.
