    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.

    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.

    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?”

    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).

    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.

      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”

    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 😄

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

    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.
