Normal people: Biden being silly for the kids at an event.
Conservatives: Biden, running critically low on adrenochromes at a White House event, goes full mask off and attempts to bite a baby in the full view of the public to get at the nourishing blood supply in it's youthful veins before the foul necromancy that binds him to this mortal coil wanes and the shell that houses his damned soul is reduced to the dust of aeons gone by.
Americans can turn anything into a controversy, well anything except a convicted rapist vocally announcing his plans to start mass killing civilians using the army.
Honestly, I don't care anymore. Next week nobody will remember, and they'll find another random thing to yell about.
I really hope that's true. As it stands I may have to flee the country if i don't want to be dragged into the street and executed simply for existing.
Over my dead body friend...you are staying here and we are all fixing this country. No joke, no exaggeration, the union did it once we can do it again.
Family is safely outside, but man you are right about the union fixing this once.
Our fault for not finishing the job.
How have we arrived in a world where a grandpa can't tell a corny grandpa joke anymore.
Next you're going to term me that pretending to take your kids nose is akin to threatening torture under the Geneva convention...
YOU FOOL! He's going to think you are a peach now, RUN!
Don't you kink shame me!
Joe Bitin’
This is one of those comments I read, think it's clever, click back and start to move on. Then I audibly chuckle and have to come back and upvote it. Well done :)
Take my upvote and get out
They're eating the babies.
They're eating the toddlers.
They're eating the votes... Of the people that live there...
Yeah! Grandpa stuff!
Can't believe such a cute innocent moment is being spun to make biden seem like a devil. The baby was actually laughing due to the foolery of Biden. We all do stupid things to make babies laugh and that is what Biden did.
It's been such a steady stream of scary shit coming out about the horse they are backing that they have to manufacture something.
That does it, I'm not voting for him.
Edit: he jokingly nommed on a turkey costume and an ice cream cone.
Honestly, if Trump did this it would completely change my view of him. Jokingly gnawing on a baby turkey leg is a very human thing to do, and I just could never see Trump doing it.
I've done just that with my cousin's a year old 🤷
Fascinating article. Baiting the right to read it, then dropping truth on them?
Jenna Ellis, a suspended lawyer who used to work for Donald Trump and who pleaded guilty to "aiding and abetting false statements" in an attempt to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 victory in Georgia, posted an article of Biden biting a baby on X, writing: "How is this real?"
Funny of you to think that they'll read it.
If it converts a single R voter, it'll have a bigger positive impact on the election than either of us will.
His bite is like a vampire's- those kids are about to become 80 year old politicians!
Ok, first, LMAO that this is real.
Second, the entire political media apparatus in the US has completely lost grasp with reality. Conservative media has predictably reacted to this with faux outrage, but the fucking liberal response to the conservative response is hilariously combative:
Conservative commentator Benny Johnson, whom the Department of Justice recently alleged was unwittingly paid by Russian state media to produce Kremlin sympathetic content, reposted an image of Biden biting the baby in the turkey costume.
"Apparently Joe Biden is biting babies at The White House this evening," he wrote. His post had been viewed 740,000 times by Thursday morning.
Lol, like - sure - all objectively true. But throwing out 'he's a paid russian agent' accusations against a tweet that's pointing to something Biden actually did is batshit crazy lol. Is the implication that russia is paying Johnson to fabricate a story about Biden biting babies?
The US political media has become a parody of itself and all I can do is laugh at it.
The article is drawing comparisons between what conservatives choose to be outraged by vs the things they actively engage in.
I agree this is all crazy, but Russia is probably also actually paying people to fabricate a story about Biden biting babies.
It's not paranoia if they're really after you!
It would be parody except this year several popular influencers we're discovered to be russian-funded tools.
So it's not that far-fetched.
Now I'm not saying Johnson is fabricating a story, but he very clearly could be swayed to skew the narrative with a few extra bucks in his pocket.
I KNEW IT!!! This explains why you never see his reflection in a mirror!
What I wanna know is did he make the myum myum myum cookie monster voice when he did it? this could be the October surprise Republicans dream for if he didn't say "myum myum cookies" while biting the babies
People: "That baby is so cute, I could just eat them up!"
Conservatives:
"Look how disgusting Biden is behaving!!!" "Yeah, I can't imagine anything worse."
Nice trick by Newsweek to include plenty of criticism of what is essentially an old grandpa having weird but harmless fun while also making sure that every criticism is coming from absolutely unhinged and clearly partisan people with no reliability whatsoever 😄
NGL, I'd be right up there with Joe chomping on those baby hammies. I fucking adore kids and babies.
If Trump were president, he would playfully bite teenaged girls in the neck.
I should call it what it is, bugshit-brained dementia-ridden ignorant conservative stupidity, but that would be fantastically redundant.
I bite my baby even when he's not in a food-shaped costume, he loves it!
The scenes drew sharp reactions from conservative influencers on social media
When every prominent “conservative influencer” is a bad faith jabroni paid by the Russians to divide our populace, this comment doesn’t carry a lot of weight
Joe is hungry for human flesh!
definitely not voting for that guy
I just want to say that baby's turkey costume is using dish gloves for the "feet" and it's so derpy that I love it.
Oh, no! Not bewilderment and criticism from conservative influencers on social media!!!
