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

[sackett]

Where Pixel comes from, members of parliament schedule live face time with their constituents. These meetings are supposed to be actual sitdowns across a table in a council hall or church annex or some such place. (Covid has changed that, but not really too much; the UK has its Schmecks.) This a commendable practice. Every democracy should make it a habit.

The Prime Minister is a member of parliament just like any other. The Brits here will correct me, but I think he too is expected to get dirty, excuse me, get close to his constituents sometimes.

Isn't that the oddest thing you ever heard of?

Just to be clear it's the subject of the conversation I found odd, not the fact that such conversations happen.

And I'm not going to quote the dictionary definition of the word middle, because that way lies madness.

How so? It was a call about where Santa's sleigh is located on Christmas. That seems like a pretty standard call to make and receive considering it's Christmas lol.

Maybe I missed something, was there a part of the conversation that went awry?

I certainly don't need you to quote the definition of the word middle. I'm just curious as **** as to how you get to the middle on something like this? On one hand, you have the POTUS taking calls, being cordial, and speaking pleasantly with a family. On the other hand you have someone who was also speaking cordially throughout the phone call, when he decided out of nowhere to tell the POTUS to go **** himself. And your stance is, "there's probably a middle ground where we can distribute some blame evenly." It's an interesting take. Confusing as hell to me, but interesting.

Okay someone walk me through the steps we took from "Every troll (because they are all stupid idiots who can't think for themselves or make up their own trolling) got issues a script on how to troll the President" to "I have to criticize the NORAD Santa Tradition because bothsideismfairness." please.

 

[theprestige]

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

Why is this concept so difficult to understand?

I mean, when you're so worked up about it that you're doxxing the guy and harassing him, it kinda deflates the self-righteous outrage about people on the right getting so excited about it.

What are you talking about? No one doxxed him, and if anyone did it would be him and his wife. She posted it to instagram and put it on his youtube channel.

If he didn't want the event, and his identity, made public then he shouldn't have recorded it and put it on youtube and his wife's insta. Pretty easy ****.

ETA:

Soon afterward, Schmeck’s wife on Instagram posted, “My husband may or may not have just told joe and jill Biden ‘let’s go Brandon’ on the phone,’ “ punctuated by two crying emojis. Schmeck also posted a video of their conversation with Biden and the First Lady on his YouTube channel, writing, “We talked to President Joe Biden on Christmas Eve! #letsgobrandon”

From Christmas Eve to Christmas Day, Schmeck’s parting remark to Biden fueled fury on social media.

If this guy had gotten Biden to say, "I agree. I like sniffing little kids.", the people here would be proclaiming it a victory for the Democratic party. Delusional.

Right? It would be almost as stupid as taking a victory lap after Biden says, "yeah, I agree" and shrugs it off, like it means something.

Do you ever get sick of insulting the people here? What does it do for you? No one here is blind to what you mean when you say "Dems", "Liberals" or "Democratic Party". Yes, it's thinly veiled enough for the Mods to not hit you with it, but it's transparent as hell.

Yet, with all of the insulting, calling us pathetic, delusional, and "hilarious", you still spend a crazy amount of time here. Why is that? Is it because forums that share your point of view don't allow you the opportunity to insult people en masse?

 

[JoeMorgue]

I'm just glad "libtard" made a comeback. I was so disappointed when a certain troll got banned and we stopped hearing it.

Imagine saying that and thinking, "I got 'em there! How will they ever reply to such an impactful, intelligent, well-reasoned rebuttal?! dur hur hur.."

Of course if you actually think that all statements are interchangable, and that Biden is under a similar delusion, your statement might almost make sense. But I think if you were to make a long distance call to the realm of actuality, and consider the fact that the subject was a specific one, a popular phrase that any fool could expect to pop up at some tastelessly inopportune moment , and which any president, even one you despise, would be sure to be prepared for, you might go so far as to acknowledge that Biden did not say what he did not say.

It's not that hard. Try just imagining for one brief moment that he said what he said and not what you imagine he might have said in some Bizarro world of your creation.

You ask too much of him methinks!

 

[smartcooky]

A lot of people have reacted with disgust.

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

Schmuck uses his freedom of speech to tell POTUS to **** off, then complains when someone else uses their freedom of speech to tell him to **** off, and he is too stupid to get that!

Laughing at the stupidity of these people never gets old.

 

[alfaniner]

I've seen lots of personal, family information posted on Twitter regarding the guy. It goes beyond doxxing.

I would have kind of liked Biden to follow up on it (whether he actually caught it or not, I don't know). "Brandon? I thought your son's name was (name)?"

 

[carlitos]

Moron outs himself as moron on Steve Bannon's podcast.

Father who said ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ on call with Biden says election was ‘stolen’ and sports MAGA hat on Steve Bannon podcast

Jared Schmeck now claims Donald Trump ‘should still be president right now’

Alternative explanation - Jared Schmeck is really doing some next-level Andy Kaufman schtick.

Again it's another case of "Man not wearing pants decides to yell at you because your fly is down and gets shocked, simply shocked I say, that you point out the hypocrisy."

It's a flex. It's chest puffing. He knows he's doing the same thing he's criticizing other people about. He's pointing out that you can't stop him.

"Yeah I'm being a hypocrite libtard, bet that triggers you, dare you to do something about it" is every word out of their mouth.

 

[plague311]

This isn't doxing. Per wikipedia:

Doxing or doxxing is the act of publicly revealing previously private personal information about an individual or organization

The information released wasn't private. His police employment history, and his father\father-in-law's history with guns is public information.

For the millionth time, this guy made his identity publicly available on ******* purpose. It wasn't an accident. HE POSTED THE ******* VIDEO TO HIS YOUTUBE CHANNEL. A channel that wasn't private. His wife posted the video to her instagram. Both of those forms of media literally had their ******* names on it, and made it clear that they, themselves, were the people involved. Jesus Christ with this ****.

I would have kind of liked Biden to follow up on it (whether he actually caught it or not, I don't know). "Brandon? I thought your son's name was (name)?"

Yeah, that would totally work. The righties totally wouldn't be howling about how much more stupid Biden is, how he can't follow a conversation or whatever other slogan they'd think of.

Biden's reply was correct. "Yeah, sure kid" and the moving on.

So the man is a ******* liar as well? Why anyone would bother defending this idiot is beyond me.

Go figure, he feigns to be one of them there Christians. What a tool. He deserves everything that's coming.

ETA: I'd love to see how this jives with the whole "hE iZ BeE'iNG dOxed, oMGZ" complaint. You can't be doxed if you're drawing all of the attention you can to yourself.

With the Proudly Wrong the distinction between lying and being wrong doesn't really exist. They've achieved a new level of dishonest intentional wrongness that both encompasses and surpasses both.
