AP News: "Let's go, Brandon" is really code for "**** Joe Biden"

[theprestige]

Only a stupid liberal mindset could fall for this double-level of trolling, and try to turn it against this guy. Like, they think he was "backtracking", lol?

He got Biden to say, in essence, "**** Joe Biden".

Priceless.

Ah, yes, the classic "fooled you! I was only pretending to be retarded!" theory of trolling.

Look, when even theprestige is advising you not to white knight every dumbass with a half-assed anti-dem catchphrase...

I didn't "white knight" him...but after viewing the idiotic Dem responses here, it is hard not to.

That they think he "backtracked" is pure gold.

maybe he's not pretending

It is definitely part of the political partisan playbook to try to dehumanize the dissenters.

These are, by and large, regular people with regular worries, trying to navigate a world dominated by shadowy cabals beyond their reach, and not always hitting on the right combination to spark your empathy.

Some empathies being more insulated by ideological dogma, against the human condition, than others.

Like you're more concerned that he dared to insult Dear Leader, than you are concerned about the circumstances that led him to this point. North Korea would be proud.

Spoken with approximately the finesse of the schoolyard bully who grabs your fist and punches you with it, chortling "ha ha you hit yourself!"

THE. caller was an unimaginatively impolite fool, trying to get a rise and utterly failing. That Biden simply shrugged it off with the equivalent of a dismissive "whatever" was the only realistic way to rob the entire gesture of its power. After all, Biden is hardly fool enough not to realize there are coarse idiots out there. The caller dug a fool trap and fell into it. I guess, though, we can give him credit for leaving plenty of room in it..

You seem to have a serious problem with anyone who doesn't like Joe Biden. Is it the man himself? Or is the sanctity of his office, that inspires such a sanctimonious response?

The President of the United States just agreed and repeated a phrase that means "**** him". And you think that he won the battle. LMAO.

No that’s not it. I don’t have a serious problem with anybody really. I think the guy who said this and the people that defend it as clever or funny are worthy of ridicule, so I’m ridiculing them. There’s nothing serious or personal about it, and the idea that there must be is the same thought trap that got these clowns saying let’s go Brandon in the first place.

Oh you were taking about the phone guy. My bad bro

Of course he won the battle. He mouthed a platitude and moved on without creating a scene. Your hero is backfooted, making up his plausible deniability strat as he goes. With predictable results.

The only people celebrating this are the people who celebrate any damn fool thing on "the right".

You know how many "Tucker Carlson destroys" videos are just videos of TC flailing aimlessly? Hint: All of them.

Same thing here. Either find a choir to preach to, or stop slinging these crap ass sermons.

 

[smartcooky]

It’s a bit of a system shock to discover that what you thought was a triggering and clever insult was actually pretty lame and only triggered people into thinking he is an idiot. A ridiculous backtracking follow up is only helping to confirm that.

Indeed! How does the old saying go ...

Help me understand. You were making a personal attack on another member of the forum?

Oh my, I would never do that. I thought you were, which was quite shocking to me and relieving to hear you were not.

I agree. For someone to call in to a White House NORAD Santa tracker promotion on Christmas Eve, speak with the President -- with the caller's kids present, right? Biden was telling them they had to be in bed by nine -- and end the call by essentially telling the President of the United States 'eff you' and then hang up. On Christmas Eve? On a Santa tracker call?

That was one of the most classless things I've seen someone do in a long long time. What is this guy's maturity level? Eight years old? But even most eight year olds have more grace than that.

You're the one who called him a dick.

The fact that some Dems think this is a victory is beautiful.

The fact that some Dems think this is a victory is beautiful.

What color is the sky in your world?

There is no "victory" to claim on any side.

An idiot made a stupid, 8-year-old level joke, made himself look like an ass, and realized how stupid he looked.

If this gives your cajones a jolt, Merry Christmas, but don't be surprised when everyone else just thinks it's pathetic.
