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…
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.
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.
The fact that this extremely unserious story is being taken extremely seriously by all parties involved is hilarious to me. Not just the faux outrage by the conservative media, but the shots being fired back by the lib media in response.
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.
Wouldn’t you like to know who’s a Russian rat up front?
Sure, but it’s redundant. You can easily infer that simply from the ‘conservative commentator’ bit.
You and I can. Lots of people can’t.
if it’s relevant to what they’re saying, yea lol
How does Benny Johnson being paid by russia change or effect what he’s saying about Biden pretending to bite babies?
Like, if the article had said:
Lemmy user LowtierComputer, whom is alleged to like pineapple on their pizza, commented on an article about Biden biting the baby in the turkey costume.
“Wouldn’t you like to know who’s a Russian rat up front?” they wrote. Their post had been upvoted 4 times by midday Friday.
How does your preferred pizza topping relate to the topic of your comment (biden biting babies)? It might be true, and it might be important information to people who distrust pineapple-pizza-lovers, but it absolutely no bearing on the thing you wrote.
Lmao it’s just funny that an article about something so ridiculous has deleterious details about random conservative commentators in it, as if those details have any impact on whether the ridiculous thing happened or not. It almost makes you wonder if the story is actually about Biden at all, or if it’s about how shitty those commentators are and Biden was just the excuse to write about them.
Is relevant in that they’re posting about a generally negative-seen activity by Biden and they’re very biased against him.
Yes this biting activity is true and doesn’t matter, but the impetus behind it is relevant to readers.
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 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!
You got it backwards - just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not after you.
What they said is true about conservative commenters but it makes me feel uncomfortable because i don’t know what to do about it so i wish they’d stop reminding me
Many people agree with you, unfortunately for us all.
It doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable, it’s just hilarious that they felt the need to include it lol
“Did Biden bite a baby? Maybe, but the guy who said something about it is a felon!”
I think it’s more like
“Guy who’s paid by foreign dictator to say things to weaken America is making a big deal about this thing”
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.
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 😄
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…

Yup racist “jokes” and having normal fun with kids are totally on the same level.

Lmao, okay this has to be really bad sarcasm.
I literally couldn’t tell. Which is why I just Homered back into the bush rather than attempting to even reply. If it’s satire, it’s master class.
Never forget, cashing something sarcasm is the original Schrodinger’s joke. If it is satire, everyone is happy. If it isn’t then they’re put on notice that other people see this argument at that level. And I’m happy. Either way, I’m happy.
But honestly it’s the second paragraph for me.
They’re from sh.itjust.works, they’re just an attention-seeking troll
If Trump were president, he would playfully bite teenaged girls in the neck.
Neck seems optimistic
Bold of you to think trump would go down on anyone.
Trump is the kind of guy, who thinks women’s orgasm is a myth.
I mean, I can understand why he’d think that, given that he’s certainly never caused one.
I’m sure if Putin asked nicely enough…
McConnell with the facesitting fetish
exits stage left to vomit at the imagery
I don’t want to think about it at all
I didn’t either, but if I am cursed with this thought, so is everyone else.
No, straight on the pussy
This might encourage them. According to romance books, teenage girls are really into creatures that bite their neck
NGL, I’d be right up there with Joe chomping on those baby hammies. I fucking adore kids and babies.
I’ve chomped all my kids. Cuteness aggression is a thing.
The squeals when you give them raspberries are the best.
Even if they’re crying, it immediately makes them laugh and disarms their tantrum!
It’s a moral imperative! And don’t forget blowing “raspberries”
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.
definitely not voting for that guy
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
Oh, no! Not bewilderment and criticism from conservative influencers on social media!!!
