      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 :)

    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?”

    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.

    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…

      In any other context, this could be excused or laughed off as a joke. But this is the President we are talking about! Everything he (or anyone around him) says or does needs to be taken as a serious death threat!! And especially with this guy, who has a well documented history of sniffing children. I guess this one just smelled too good to resist!

      (Literally what everyone did with the Tony Hinchcliffe B.S. all week).

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

          Racist to who? Oh I see, you are just inferring racism because in your racist head, everyone from a certain island that was joked about by a comedian is “a brown”.

          Meanwhile, this is an actual physical attack from a sitting president on a defenseless child and you are totally fine with it!

          You’re sick!!

              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.

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

    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.

    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

    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.
