Biden trolls Republicans after Super Bowl

[SWE]

Big strategic misplays by both sides here. Republicans are absolute imbeciles for making getting angry for no reason at an inoffensive and overwhelmingly popular pop star, but Democrats shouldn't respond by ceding a different sane and normal position (hating the Chiefs) to Republicans

[SWE]

Such a serious and "normal" president, huh?

You know, if you can't think of any way to spin a story to make Biden look bad or Trump look good, you can just say nothing? When you don't even have straws to grasp at, trying to grasp looks a lot worse than saying nothing

Your party cult worships and is about to nominate someone again for President who does nothing but troll on social media. Might wanna sit this one out.

The F**k your feelings crowd sure are a bunch of fragile wittle snowflakes, and boy are those MAGAt tears extra salty today. Sad!

I'm not trying to make Trump look good.  Biden campaigned explicitly as a restorative president who was going to be a change from Trump's many indiscretions. That he allows his comms staff to indulge in this kind of juvenile, snarky Twitter discourse is quite unserious.  Why can't he just be a normal president like he promised?

So true! I miss the sane and statesmanlike posts from Trump!

Even if that's your argument, there is still at least an order of magnitude difference in amount. Trump was spewing things this stupid or stupider from his Twitter account on a daily basis. The vast majority of Biden's Twitter is standard politician Tweets.

The photo they used is actually his official vice presidential portrait from 2013.

That’s what’s even more sad. “Brandon” obviously doesn’t run his own account, but his team is trying to recreate Obama-era magic that has long passed.

Emblematic of Biden 2024.

Every high-ranking official has professionals to run their accounts, lmao. Biden has bigger stuff on his plate than Twitter or X.

Gah, I am really hoping this doesn't become another bizarre cultural "issue" ala Disney/Marvel and this notion gets spread that anyone who doesn't listen to Taylor Swift is some right-wing incel.

It's not insane or abnormal to not hate the Chiefs.

Chiefs everyone has Mahomes, Kelce or Chiefs defense on their Fantasy teams don't let the hate fool ya, the country is in love with Chiefs but they don't want Chiefs to be another dynasty like Pats and we can be here again next yr. Kelce, Butker and Mahomes are unstoppable

He's governed exactly how he said, but since the opposition is nothing but clownish it pays to treat them just as what they are. Clowns.

It's a dumb ad for frustrated political obsessives looking for joy in politics and who ordinarily get very little of that from a Biden presidency.

Part of the problem here is that Twitter once functioned as both (A) a newswire for serious press releases and public diplomacy and (B) a commercial social platform with a revenue model that is mostly based on delivering advertisements to users and selling data generated by user activity.

However, when you look at the content posted by any politician as of 2024, virtually all of it is geared toward (B). That's what the platform favors, and it's how politicians are all but required to communicate with the public in a democracy that is amusing itself to death.

I'm split on this, because I don't think it's fair to judge political figures based on how they communicate on these platforms. It's like judging whether a company's stock is a good buy based on their advertising. On the other hand, the reality is that people still treat these platforms very seriously. I wish we just could all agree that they are frivolous diversions.

I think it already has become the opposite, that anyone who does listen to Taylor Swift is a liberal.

The way Joe Biden uses Twitter has nothing to do with Donald Trump.  Is this a race to the bottom?

[RINO Tom]

I guess I am new to this conspiracy theory, but why would the White House care who wins and are there actually people who found that Tweet in any way funny?  Lol.

He has governed as a normal person, but since his opposition is moronic he has to fight them on their terms and that is by making fun of them.

...I mean... yeah, I would hope not? That would be a complete waste of his time. This is exactly why he has a communications team lmao.

[MasterJedi]

Chiefs come back and win against the 49ers just like in 2020. The first portent of Biden being re-elected.

Also the Virginia legislative elections.

[Roll Roons]

Biden is incompetent and senile, yet he apparently rigged the Super Bowl for the Chiefs.

I think their logic is that because Biden is a senile old man who doesn't know what he's doing, it's the leftist WH staffers and the "deep state" who actually run the show. Back when Ron Klain was CoS, there was a lot of talk on conservative media about how he was the "shadow president".
