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.

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Family is safely outside, but man you are right about the union fixing this once.

Our fault for not finishing the job.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 44 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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...

[–] Sentau@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

It's been such a steady stream of scary shit coming out about the horse they are backing that they have to manufacture something.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I KNEW IT!!! This explains why you never see his reflection in a mirror!

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

You never see Joe Biden and Dracula in the same room together 🤔

YOU FOOL! He's going to think you are a peach now, RUN!

Don't you kink shame me!

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Yeah! Grandpa stuff!

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

I've done just that with my cousin's a year old 🤷

[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago

His bite is like a vampire's- those kids are about to become 80 year old politicians!

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 days ago

I bite my baby even when he's not in a food-shaped costume, he loves it!

[–] Juice@midwest.social 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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

[–] AidsKitty@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Joe is hungry for human flesh!

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

All in the phrasing. Could've also said "nibbles" or something.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No. Joe Biden MAWLS KIDS at SATANIC EVENT! More at 11.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I know right. The pen is mightier than the sword.

[–] don@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

I should call it what it is, bugshit-brained dementia-ridden ignorant conservative stupidity, but that would be fantastically redundant.

Take my upvote and get out

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago

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 :)

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 228 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They're eating the babies.

They're eating the toddlers.

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 190 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

That does it, I'm not voting for him.

Edit: he jokingly nommed on a turkey costume and an ice cream cone.

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?"

[–] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 62 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Funny of you to think that they'll read it.

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.

[–] qevlarr@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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!

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

You got it backwards - just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you.

[–] chetradley@lemm.ee 36 points 1 week ago

The article is drawing comparisons between what conservatives choose to be outraged by vs the things they actively engage in.

People: "That baby is so cute, I could just eat them up!"

Conservatives:

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

"Look how disgusting Biden is behaving!!!" "Yeah, I can't imagine anything worse."

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago

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 😄

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (3 children)

If Trump were president, he would playfully bite teenaged girls in the neck.

NGL, I'd be right up there with Joe chomping on those baby hammies. I fucking adore kids and babies.
