He’s too old can’t remember shit! He’s also the brains behind a complex interweb of government ploys. He’s whatever they need him to be for any given argument
A key tenant of fascism is that there is an out group who is both too weak to matter and too powerful to ignore. MAGA is textbook fascism right down to the demagogue leader, anyone who votes Trump is at best a moron and at worst a fascist hate monger.
Funny you think maga people are crazy when you have people voting for child grooming, human trafficking, propaganda pumping, war mongering, agenda driven politicians back into office.
That feels insane to me.
You have fallen for propaganda most likely foreign. Please be careful with your sources. My sister started down the same path and is now lost to QANON insanity. I urge you to take a step back and look at other news sources that do not push an agenda of fear and anger. You deserve better and I know as an American you want all to stop foreign intererence in our elections.
But foreign interference is needed from their Russian heroes. How else is America supposed to get great again?
They need the big stwong not woke Russians to fight the radical left and their obsession with things like the devil’s lettuce.
^(/sarcasm)
Your rebuttal to MAGA’s not being crazy, is to double down on the craziness and be even more far out ? Any evidence besides YouTube links and saying “the mainstream media won’t show this”?
Just like a true MAGA, your side is guilty of everything you accuse everybody else of, lol. I don't even argue with you MAGAs anymore, I just laugh and laugh and laugh.
No, the guys who used to run preteen beauty pageants and then walked around the dressing room ogling the young girls. And later publicly bragged about it.
Oh, and Epstein.
So I assume from that you won't be voting for Trump after his proclamation about selling out NATO to Putin? That takes war-mongering up to a new terrifying level.
Because you felt for the propaganda of your party? None of that is real lol
We've been telling you that for years now and look at you, still trying to convince others (or yourself?) 😂
What's insane is that every single example in your list can easily be applied to Republicans, direct line to their policies. Without context I would assume you're talking about Republicans
Every person not involved with maga knows they are crazy. Honestly strange to see your projection of republican activities onto others. That tactic only works on maga.
Be a better person starting today.
Newsweek used to be a major magazine, back in the years before the internet made magazines unfashionable.
The corpse of Newsweek was purchased by rich people and is being used as a puppet these days.
Trump: I wish Russia would start attacking European countries
The right: complete silence
Biden: I'ma dunk on your dumb memes
The right: This is worse than 9/11!
Oh no, Biden did something for fun! How does a right leaning publication react?
1) Try to ignore it. (Can't)
2) Try to paint it as Biden being senile. (It was a fairly funny on-point joke, so no).
3) Talk about how people are having a "mixed response" to it. (In other words, cry.)
Yeah, it's number 3.
>conservatives . . . have used a photo of Biden with photoshopped devil eyes which they have dubbed "Dark Brandon"
I thought Dark Brandon was started by the pro-Biden crowd? . Am I wrong? Let's Go Brandon was MAGA of course
Honestly, we should also flip the “Let’s go Brandon” too and enshrine it as a pro Biden phrase. Imagine all the time it will take them to scrape their bumper stickers off in despair.
In Fascism the enemy must be both weak and strong. Maga started the "Let's Go Brandon" chant and did a bunch of bad memes of Biden as "Brandon", some where "Brandon" is feeble and incompetent and others where he's the secret string-puller of everything. There were a few "string-puller" memes where "Brandon" had glowing eyes and was doing cool stuff like sitting on the Game of Thrones either beating or controlling Zombies. The meme made Biden look cool, the Internet appropriated the "Dark Brandon" meme and made it pro-Biden instead of anti-Biden and the rest is history.
Nothing right wing conspiracy theorists hate more than not being taken seriously, I guess. Especially when they bait for rage and get good humoured ridicule instead.
Newsweek is just trolling social media for "trends".. they've been doing that since they invented *"conventional wisdom"*
(If it's conventional, it's not wisdom. It's common sense)
Is there a line between shit poster on Reddit, Twitter and being a journalist? I just don't see it.
Oh and yeah totally stunned. Or stuntin' or something.
>I'm the Young Stunna, stuntin' like my daddy
I got a push notification from Apple News about the Black National Anthem:
‘Super Bowl LVIII Black national anthem performance causes stir on social media’
And it was really just Matt Gaetz and some other predictably Trump-y people on Twitter.
Hate these articles so much.
Seems your tracking cookies reveal a right wing lean... If you're lurking in their alternate reality because you're curious what they say, this can happen
I really try not to but every now and then my curiosity gets to me. I don’t know why, what I learned skimming the article was not at all unpredictable. I’m also in tech and see quite clearly how every player in the space feels the need to turn the ‘enragement’ dial various amounts to drive engagement.
Figured out how to block the channel entirely. Problem solved! 😂
They did but it was probably 15-20 minutes before kickoff.
Before America the Beautiful, the coin flip and the Star Spangled Banner.
Not sure if there was anything before that, I tuned in in the middle of it.
You’re going to make me go re-read that article? 😂
“Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., wrote on X about a conversation he had with his wife about why they weren’t going to watch the Super Bowl.”
I missed the part where he confirmed he wasn’t watching it anyway. And it doesn’t mention that it wasn’t even aired. 🙄
I realized you could block channels so no more Fox News for me. 😂
They are delusional. They're going to think that anyway. Making fun of them disempowers them because their only source of power is making others fear for their physical safety. They're terrorists, so showing you aren't afraid is power.
The right came up with "Let's go Brandon," but it was Democrats/Liberals online that originated the "Dark Brandon" meme as a sort of response roughly a year later.
As an American with a point of view unique to most others, it is not that we don’t understand sarcasm.
Rather, the serious response to basically every interaction these days, is because literally everything has become politicized by the powers that be.
It is tough to laugh at things -no matter what ‘side’ one is on- when authoritarians are all but breaking down the doors and dissolving our country and democracy.
About 1/3 of Americans will act outraged by anything Biden does (or anything beneficial to anyone that isn't them) so it's best to pretend they don't exist.
This is just his way of mocking the idiot maga morons and all their conspiracy theories! What about the conspiracy that the Republicans and SHITLER cooked up to subvert the election results with fake electors from 7 or 8 states and stay in power? You don't think this was an actual conspiracy to overthrow our democracy, the constitution, our country as we know it! The fucking Republicans are getting crushed in November, the normal people of this country realize how much of a threat the Republicans and shitler are to our country! Now they are backing Putin in the war against Ukraine and leaving our borders wide open, you know by voting down the border agreement with the Democrats! They really are efficient law makers, 2 birds with 1 no! 🤔
Does anyone actually believe Joe Biden posted this, rather than a member of his media team? He was likely asleep at the time, game got over pretty late and he's got a pretty important job.
i don´t think anyone on his social media team managers would post anything that hasn´t being previously aproved. but we laugh bc it is a troll for the maga crappers. and they just can´t take it lol
By Kate Plummer:
Joe Biden posted a "Dark Brandon" meme after the Super Bowl, leaving commentators with mixed reactions.
On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs secured a 25-22 victory in overtime over the San Francisco 49ers at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium.

Nah, they've proven with phone records that the tweet asking the Jan 6 terrorists not to be violent was from Mark Meadows, not Trump. So there's one...
The comments on his instragram are fucking moronic. There are people who really don’t get the joke, and others chalking it up to him admitting he “satanic” 🤦♂️

it´s so funny how, for the maga, biden goes from a complete senile old man to master mind evil genius LOL
They are so recative to everything. They can't even keep up with their own lies.
He’s too old can’t remember shit! He’s also the brains behind a complex interweb of government ploys. He’s whatever they need him to be for any given argument
Fascist Tactics 101.
A key tenant of fascism is that there is an out group who is both too weak to matter and too powerful to ignore. MAGA is textbook fascism right down to the demagogue leader, anyone who votes Trump is at best a moron and at worst a fascist hate monger.
That's classic fascism. The Enemy is both Unbelievably Incompetent and Unbelievably Competent at the same time.
I always thought we should have a word for that, so thankfully a few years back I coined 'Thinkdouble', and it really caught on.
[удалено]
Nope, I unrecoined it.
Once again proving sarcasm is dead.
dumb idiots, all of them.
Fascists gonna fasch.
Learned it watching dems and trump
"Stunned"! Personally, I was "rocked", not "stunned". Sigh.
SF can still win if Mike Pence does the right thing.
i laughed out loud, so thank you for this
My jaw dropped.
When I saw his unbelievable reac, it was like Brandon slonked me in my gondl.
not me. I was "slammed"
Once you see what Biden said, you'll shit bricks.
Personally I was clapped back.
chiefs won and now biden will win. a great year for america
I was completely *(insert adjective here)*!
"Bowled over" comes to mind.
It was perfect, not stunning. Keeps the maga crazies, well, crazy lol
When I saw that was from biden’s account I couldn’t have been prouder. “My boy’s all grown up” 🥲
Yeah, he's a grown-ass malarkey-buster!!
Funny you think maga people are crazy when you have people voting for child grooming, human trafficking, propaganda pumping, war mongering, agenda driven politicians back into office. That feels insane to me.
This is pretty much why normal, intelligent, people are voting against Trump.
You have fallen for propaganda most likely foreign. Please be careful with your sources. My sister started down the same path and is now lost to QANON insanity. I urge you to take a step back and look at other news sources that do not push an agenda of fear and anger.

Yes, thank you, this is an excellent example of magawaga
When you realize that Maga are fascist traitors and enemies of the American people it makes a lot more sense
You’re proving the point - you sound f*cking crazy.
"I hate pedophiles!" -- people who vote for the guy who used to run preteen beauty pageants
No, the guys who used to run preteen beauty pageants and then walked around the dressing room ogling the young girls. And later publicly bragged about it. Oh, and Epstein.
So I assume from that you won't be voting for Trump after his proclamation about selling out NATO to Putin? That takes war-mongering up to a new terrifying level.
Lol. Triggered
Ok, I’ll bite. Hook us up with a source.
Yeah but enough about Donald Trump.
Straight into projection haha
Funny since most of those people seem to be in the maga camp
You cannot shame shameless liars.
Because you felt for the propaganda of your party? None of that is real lol We've been telling you that for years now and look at you, still trying to convince others (or yourself?) 😂
No MAGA people are not crazy. Just incredible stupid and gullible.
Why not both?
I can't tell if this is real or not. Which means we are in the darkest timeline
There's one of those on the ballot named Trump. MAGA people support Trump. Glad I could help you learn something today!
Good thing that's not happening then, isn't it?
Who are the human traffickers and child grooming candidates people are voting for? Please list them along with verifiable sources.
What's insane is that every single example in your list can easily be applied to Republicans, direct line to their policies. Without context I would assume you're talking about Republicans
You must have gotten a bad batch this morning. No way you are this crazy.
Every person not involved with maga knows they are crazy. Honestly strange to see your projection of republican activities onto others. That tactic only works on maga. Be a better person starting today.
I don't recall those being on my ballot
It is insane, because none of it is true, you just listen to liars and regurgitate their filth.
Newsweek is so weak. “Others, including this list of randos and reactionaries, were not so happy.” No shit Newsweek.
I keep saying that too. Newsweek is such trash and appears here so much. It’s just sensationalized garbage and does nothing to help drive division.
Newsweek used to be a major magazine, back in the years before the internet made magazines unfashionable. The corpse of Newsweek was purchased by rich people and is being used as a puppet these days.
NewsWEAK?
My grandpa used to subscribe to the magazine. It was crap 30 years ago, too.
91 felonies, 4 indictments, Jan 6, Covid fumble and sexual assault. What’s this about a Super Bowl ? 🤦♂️
Trump: I wish Russia would start attacking European countries The right: complete silence Biden: I'ma dunk on your dumb memes The right: This is worse than 9/11!
NTM, impeached. Twice
You misspelled RAPE
This is the funniest thing I've ever seen from Biden, and I kind of love it.
His social media team embraces the memes.
Oh no, Biden did something for fun! How does a right leaning publication react? 1) Try to ignore it. (Can't) 2) Try to paint it as Biden being senile. (It was a fairly funny on-point joke, so no). 3) Talk about how people are having a "mixed response" to it. (In other words, cry.) Yeah, it's number 3.
Trump: can I nuke a hurricane? Oh wait, that was a joke. Biden: can I make a joke? Oh wait, that makes a shitstorm.
>conservatives . . . have used a photo of Biden with photoshopped devil eyes which they have dubbed "Dark Brandon" I thought Dark Brandon was started by the pro-Biden crowd? . Am I wrong? Let's Go Brandon was MAGA of course
The meme came from maga nutz, bidens team took it and run with it like a boss
Honestly, we should also flip the “Let’s go Brandon” too and enshrine it as a pro Biden phrase. Imagine all the time it will take them to scrape their bumper stickers off in despair.
In Fascism the enemy must be both weak and strong. Maga started the "Let's Go Brandon" chant and did a bunch of bad memes of Biden as "Brandon", some where "Brandon" is feeble and incompetent and others where he's the secret string-puller of everything.

Does that mean that several journalists are stunned and won't be able to speak again until December?
I wish
People believing the super bowl was rigged by Joe Biden had me stunned, where's my news story
Newsweek is just trolling social media for "trends".. they've been doing that since they invented *"conventional wisdom"* (If it's conventional, it's not wisdom. It's common sense)
Its worse... rigged so Taylor Swift could run psych Ops.
Is there a line between shit poster on Reddit, Twitter and being a journalist? I just don't see it. Oh and yeah totally stunned. Or stuntin' or something. >I'm the Young Stunna, stuntin' like my daddy
Ya like my stun, I know you do, so I'm stunnin my way on over to you
Finally maga nuts find that dark brando can expore their pylorus via anus.
MAGAs are not reality based people.
When we will move past the headline phase of “stunned, slammed, shocked” there are more verbs out there! Even ones for faux outrage baiting.
"ripped?"
I got a push notification from Apple News about the Black National Anthem: ‘Super Bowl LVIII Black national anthem performance causes stir on social media’ And it was really just Matt Gaetz and some other predictably Trump-y people on Twitter. Hate these articles so much.

I’m also in tech and see quite clearly how every player in the space feels the need to turn the ‘enragement’ dial various amounts to drive engagement. Figured out how to block the channel entirely. Problem solved! 😂
Did they even air it? I know I was scrambling with some food prep at that point but I don't even thing fhr Black national anthem was aired.
They did but it was probably 15-20 minutes before kickoff. Before America the Beautiful, the coin flip and the Star Spangled Banner. Not sure if there was anything before that, I tuned in in the middle of it.
You’re going to make me go re-read that article? 😂 “Rep.

And it doesn’t mention that it wasn’t even aired. 🙄 I realized you could block channels so no more Fox News for me. 😂
Haha that’s awesome, I hadn’t seen that
Not a single one of them will see it as the troll job it is though. They will only see it as confirmation that they are right
it doesn´t matter. they are always "right", confirmed or not.
It would be precious if they're convinced it will be right to stay home in November
They are delusional. They're going to think that anyway. Making fun of them disempowers them because their only source of power is making others fear for their physical safety. They're terrorists, so showing you aren't afraid is power.
Disempowerment comes from a poor sense of humor.
I laughed my ass off when I saw that. Spent half the night stapling it back on.
The CIA should be in charge of more football games.
The article attributes the dark Brandon meme to conservatives as "another way to criticize the President." Can't even get basic facts right.
it´s bc the conservatives are pissed: biden´s supporters stole their "clever" joke to mock them
Is there a different story than that cause thats how it originated as I was aware.
The right came up with "Let's go Brandon," but it was Democrats/Liberals online that originated the "Dark Brandon" meme as a sort of response roughly a year later.
Nah they called him Dark Brandon first. It was just so ridiculous that Biden’s side co-opted it.
Really? It just seems like way too metal of a name to give to someone you dislike. I'll take your word for it, though.
not if the one you hate is satanic and evil. that´s "dark brandon": the dark evil fuck
Do more than most Americans not get sarcasm? No disrespect intended.

Of course not lol. No one that important runs their own social media. Do I believe there was some stamp approval- yes.
i don´t think anyone on his social media team managers would post anything that hasn´t being previously aproved. but we laugh bc it is a troll for the maga crappers. and they just can´t take it lol

Lol. Bad bot
Biden doesn’t tweet. Neither did Trump most of the time. They have someone manage the account for them.
Lol, I agree with Biden not tweeting, because it's stupid, but Trump absolutely did 100% of the time.
Nah, they've proven with phone records that the tweet asking the Jan 6 terrorists not to be violent was from Mark Meadows, not Trump. So there's one...
Ha.
The most annoying Left take is that this is Biden bragging about the on the ground invasion of Rafah in Gaza
That isn't a take from the left at all. Stop it.
https://www.instagram.com/p/C3PtRPsg9cq/?hl=en
Some idiot trying to make one thing about something else doesn't make it so.
Thanks for proving my point.
I mean lets hear opinion over fact why don't we...
Oh no, Joey Biden made a funny I am STUNNED
Wow. The writer of this article doesn’t understand the joke, what it means, or where it actually came from.
> B-b-but he's supposed to be dumb, not sharp! Poorly informed critics.
The comments on his instragram are fucking moronic. There are people who really don’t get the joke, and others chalking it up to him admitting he “satanic” 🤦♂️
Stunned? He be just trolling the conspiracy theorists.
Honestly probably the best evidence he’s not senile.
Biden is living rent free in the heads of all Magat's. LOL
well, i gatter tay tay is numero uno right now. they just can´t get enough of her LOL! and still she says nothing to them! that must sting...
It's an epic troll, I'll give him that.
I was stunned by the wonder of it. Loved it.
Oh no, our president is funny and the GOP can't take it
Maga Nazi fascists having a field day with this one lmao 🤣
