On a day when he had one of his twelve political opponents indicted for exercising the right to free speech, someone at the White House handed Joe Biden a mug and told him to put it to his mouth while they filmed him for nine seconds. Eleventy takes later, they had this tweet resurrecting the "Dark Brandon" meme.

The fact this was released on the day of the indictment, I'm sure it was meant to be an "in-your-face" dig at the Right. But instead of giving them the reaction they want by acting outraged, I can barely roll my eyes. If you combined the Happy Madison "how do you do, fellow kids" meme and the Abe Simpson "old man yells at cloud" meme, you'd get this.

Who the deuce is "Dark Brandon?" Let's take a trip back to 2021...

At the beginning of September 2021, week 1 of college football, some dudebros did many beers before a game and started chanting "F*ck Joe Biden". It captivated a nation. Shout out to the fine lads at Old Row. Had it not been for Old Row posting the first video, collecting others, and disseminating them throughout their Twitter accounts, the F*ck Joe Biden chant wouldn't have been everywhere.

Then one day after a guy named Brandon won a Nascar race, the reporter interviewing him thought the crowd chanting "F*ck Joe Biden" was saying "Let's Go Brandon." That's when things REALLY took off. Americans now had a family-friendly way to express how Joe Biden is a failure of a man and sucks at life. There were songs written. There were dance challenges. Everyone from young chads to middle-aged senators got involved.

The progressive response to this was "Dark Brandon." In their fantasy world, Joe Biden had an alter ego with red eyes who looked like a demon. It was their attempt at edgelording, but they failed as badly as Joe does remembering to use the bathroom before he leaves to meet the Pope.

"Dark Brandon" is a sassy, sharp old man who drives a Corvette and totally OWNS Republicans on the daily. But in reality, Biden just has dementia. Or, has dementia according to critics.

On a day when Biden's DOJ had one of his opponents arrested again, the White House thought it was a good idea to celebrate Biden being a super-villain. Their fantasy Biden the Demon celebrated with a cup of prune juice in a coffee mug.

At least they got the demon part right.
