    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.

    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.

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

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

      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 :)

    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).

          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!!

    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.

    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.
