Gotta love how a stupid laser eye edit is enough to send the fascists and their red painted collaborators into a spiraling rage about how easy it is to make them look like idiots.

Biden didn't even have to do anything for this one, it was all the morons doing it to themselves

Funny enough I thought that was the Elon Musk real account initially 🤣, I could actually see him replying that.

Glad you pointed it out. Fuck Lonnie, but I didn't catch it and would have made a silly comment.

[–] [email protected] 105 points 7 months ago

I thought Elon was a parody account too. Look how wrong I was.

They reclaimed the meme and I think it's brilliant.

Can anyone tell a European what's going on ovah there?

[–] [email protected] 169 points 7 months ago (5 children)

Some right wing pro-Trump conspiracy theorists think that Taylor Swift is some sort of government asset and that the Super Bowl was rigged in order for the Chiefs to win and that it'd be used as a platform for Taylor Swift to endorse Biden or brainwash viewers or something.

This tweet is poking fun, like 'everything is going according to plan'. But in real life the heavily favored team won, Swift was there because she's the girlfriend of one of the players, and Taylor Swift fans are generally left-leaning because demographics

Oh, I'm guessing I have to deal with a shitload of Chiefs jersey wearing people yelling at work today and comparing their gambling wins?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

ah yes, so the usual huh

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The better team won, but they were not picked to be the favorite. Which I think adds to the conspiracy.

All correct except the "heavily favored team won". The Chiefs weren't really seen as a good team for most of the year and weren't expected to win.

It turns out that the village idiot(s) are a larger percentage of our population than previously anticipated.

Possibly due to widespread chronic lead poisoning but the verdict is still out there.

And sadly COVID did too little to solve that.

We don't even know! Our politics have gone off the rail

It's good to see the Obama-era humor

~~Man, Elon "hur hur I'm carrying a sink" Musk really has zero self-awareness....~~

Alas, got taken in by a parody account (not that the comment isn't accurate, it's just not applicable in this case).

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago (2 children)

That account was a parody account...

Missed opportunity to say “Jack”. Those crack me up.

First time the Dark Brandon meme wasn't just super cringe nonsense lol, good on them!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago (10 children)

what's it referring to? my only guess is the re-sending of a similar Israel/Ukraine support bill?

[–] [email protected] 110 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The Chiefs winning the super bowl and Taylor Swift being some QAnon conspiracy

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago

ugh... I wasn't thinking outside the box hard enough to connect it to the football game...

thanks though!

[–] [email protected] 68 points 7 months ago (1 children)

There's a conspiracy theory that the Superbowl was rigged for the Chiefs so that Taylor Swift would somehow be able to throw more support to Biden. Some even said she'd come out during halftime and make a plug for him.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago (2 children)

The last part is particularly funny considering, you know, there’s no winner yet at half time

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago

There's not even a winner at full time.

This is funny.

Trump trolls can't argue about that, so they're here pretending to suddenly care about Palestine or wars in general, worthless deplorables
