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

[dirtywick]

You're the one who called him a dick.

Listen, I'm as open to the idea that he may be retarded, as I had mistakenly thought you suggested, or that he may simply trying to be a childish dick to people on purpose to provoke a reaction on the internet. But I'm happy to leave it at that in an effort to try to stay on topic, as doing otherwise is dangerously close to breaching the MA for my tastes.

But I do feel that you trying to insert my motivations as to why I think that this is the behavior of a very stupid, stupid person not really worthy of any real response is a little personal, and certainly accusing me of some kind of cultish devotion to Joe Biden as a motivator is also quite triggering.

If we've misunderstood each other in some way that's caused confusion, well, I'll take the blame. I'll try to be more clear in the future.

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.

Again, you think he realized how stupid he looked? He doubled-down on his point, LMAO.

And, dumbass Biden..."Yeah, I agree...**** me".

 

[newyorkguy]

A lot of people have reacted with disgust.

Another on Twitter wrote: “Imagine being a grown man so infantile and disrespectful that you say the slur ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ to the president in front of your own kids and dozens of others. This is a sad time.” Link to Oregonian

The caller, Jared Schmeck, now claims he's the victim, because he's "being attacked for utilizing my freedom of speech.”

Yeah, he was totally fooled by that subtle, cunning humor.

Some people look at the world through rose-colored glasses. I think yours are tie-dyed.

Yeah. That's other people exercising their freedom of speech, moron.

Why is this concept so difficult to understand?

 

[bruto]

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

Yes I do. Any other response would have empowered the caller's disrespect, and would have right wingers gloating over the "gotcha" anyway, and ridiculing his pearl clutching sensitivity.

Biden surely knew the meaning of the thing and declared that he is not hurt by it.

Nope.

How about if he had said, "I agree, Let's Go, Biden"?

Instead, he looks like a doddering old fool. Only clown Dems can't see this.

He got raped by a private citizen, on a chat line. LOL.

But who's the one backtracking and crying about the heat he's taking? Certainly ain't the "doddering old fool."

Looks more like an own goal by a crass simpleton too impetuous to keep it classy, and too stupid to anticipate the embarrassment to come. Shmenk sorta "raped" himself.

Lol, you think he is "backtracking"?

He doubled-down, only some are too stupid to see it. Mostly skeptics, I guess.

 

[bruto]

I still disagree. If he altered it he would have been arguing over content. As it is he simply refused to rise to the bait, leaving the caller no option but to give it up or to to double down on his stupidity by explaining the already exceedingly stupid joke which any sane person knows Biden was well aware of, and almost certainly prepared for. It was a simple short circuit.

 

[JoeMorgue]

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.

If this argument was any more immature Gaetz would rape it.

 

[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.

A lot of people have reacted with disgust.

He's misspelled his own surname there!!

[Warp12]

A lot of people libtards have reacted with disgust.

FTFY.

Mostly the same crowd who jizzed in their pants when De Niro gave his "**** Trump" commentary, no doubt.

The tendency to interpret any incident in either the best or worst possible way is a symptom of partisanship. Warp12 may see the liberal interpretation of this one as ridiculous, but his looks just as ridiculous to them. An unbiased assessment would probably land somewhere in between.

The decision of this parent to introduce that meme into this particular conversation looks very odd, and certainly ill advised, to me, but then so does everything else about it. The POTUS calls up random children on Christmas Eve to discuss the progress of Santa Claus' journey from the North Pole? Seriously? WTF?

No.

 

[Delvo]

I don't think I've ever seen a single use of "the truth is probably in the middle", or its equivalent in other forms like "both sides disagree with me so I must be right", which was not thoroughly clearly unmistakably false.

Obviously not. Kids' parents call the White House answers. Just like when Trump was President and he blurted out to one of the kids that (s)he was getting too old to still believe in Santa.

I didn't say it was in the middle, I said it was somewhere between the most favourable possible interpretation and the least favourable possible interpretation. Anyone familiar with my posting history will correctly guess that my own view would be that it's much closer to one end of that very wide range than the other.

OK, so it's not completely random then. It still seems to me like a very odd thing for a POTUS to do.

 

[Suddenly]

I didn't say it was in the middle, I said it was somewhere between the most favourable possible interpretation and the least favourable possible interpretation. .

So somewhere in the middle then?

I mean, no **** lol. That's the case most of the time. This is kind of one of those things that doesn't need to be said. Like, "you don't want to eat raw chicken". Uh, thanks.

I can't imagine how this is unfavorable to Joe Biden. He and his wife handled the call very, very cordially. The dumbass posted the video to his youtube, and it showed nothing at all but his family being treated very respectfully. After receiving that treatment the man ends the phone call by saying "**** you" to Joe Biden. Which is fine. Childish, pathetic, needlessly aggressive, but he's right, it is his right to do it. Joe Biden, having probably been told by everyone in his orbit that since the calls aren't screened, this will probably happen, did exactly what he should have done, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, **** me, move along". If you see a huge "middle ground" to that, then props to you.

OK, so it's not completely random then. It still seems to me like a very odd thing for a POTUS to do.

Yeah, leaders interacting with their populous in a positive way is pretty odd....er, wait, what?

 

[JoeMorgue]

Again this is just having to lie in the bed of spending the last decade+ of discourse promoting the stupid idea that any reaction to trolls is a "win" for them.
