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.

    This is probably a foreign concept, but it’s important to understand in case you’re ever in a plane crash. When the oxygen masks come down, you put your oxygen mask on first. Then you help others.

    You’re welcome, if you’re ever in a plane crash I just saved your life and the people around you. And yes you are welcome because you clearly did not understand the concept based on the comment I’m replying to.

      So in this analogy, the ‘people in the plane around you’ are actually the Palestinian civilialians that we are genociding? And you think it is fine to financially and rhetorically support an ongoing genocide as long as domestic issues are being taken care of?

      This seems to be the opposite of the “we can walk and chew gum at the same time” type of rhetoric we hear often from the Democrats.

      To where is the helping others part here?

      Is… is it inside all of the bombs?

      Is that why Israel is dropping so many bombs for all the help that’s inside of them?

      Shit! I didn’t know, my bad.
