Joe Biden bites several babies at Halloween event
(www.newsweek.com)
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?
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!

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.

People: "That baby is so cute, I could just eat them up!"
Conservatives:
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...
If Trump were president, he would playfully bite teenaged girls in the neck.
Neck seems optimistic

NGL, I'd be right up there with Joe chomping on those baby hammies. I fucking adore kids and babies.
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.
I just want to say that baby's turkey costume is using dish gloves for the "feet" and it's so derpy that I love it.
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!!!
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.
He appears to be wearing a zombie president costume, so it's a character piece
I KNEW IT!!! This explains why you never see his reflection in a mirror!

Everybody knows the Democrats are transdimensional space vampires, so no surprise here.
It's 2024.
You HAVE to ass the '/s' mark to any post like that, because Jewish space lasers and LGBT weather control are a thing.

The spirt of champ has entered Joe's bidens body
YOU FOOL! He's going to think you are a peach now, RUN!
Don't you kink shame me!
The GOP is still busy running against him. Biden got them all wearing trash bags now. Half the country is hopeless.
I bite my baby even when he's not in a food-shaped costume, he loves it!
Yeah! Grandpa stuff!
His bite is like a vampire's- those kids are about to become 80 year old politicians!
this is like that cat biting the corn
