This. The irony is that a certain conservative poster is well known for misogynistic and racist posts. It's one thing to make fun of politicians but quite another to denigrate people because of their race or sexual identity. Sadly, but not unsurprisingly, that distinction eludes some people.
You are just proving my point about ridiculous liberal sensitivity. Thanks.

Honestly I was expecting this thread to fizzle out within a couple hours. It never occurred to me anyone would try to keep it in play for going on ten pages now. I apologize. If "let's go Brandon" triggers you, that sucks. You have my sympathies. If "**** Joe Biden" triggers you, that also sucks. Again, you have my sympathies.

So you haven't read the thread, I take it? I think the thread concluded that no one on the left, on this forum, was "triggered" by it at all. The phrase was mocked because conservatives don't have the balls to say "**** Joe Biden".
After all, even the lefties had a song screaming "**** Donald Trump!"
I guess the left doesn't care about sensitivities as much as the right.

And if you cannot understand that there's a difference between discussing a thing and "being triggered" by a thing, then you have zero sympathy from me. This is a discussion board. If you're only interested in "triggers" then Twitter is the place for that. You can say a remark there then troll-LOL at all the responses to your heart's content. Here people might actually want to talk about subjects raised.
There are a lot of "non-triggered" libs who help keep it going. I'd hate to see how much digital ink they would pour if they were triggered.

Not sure what this has to do with the price of tea...
No one is saying either one is "classy". Unless you have a link or something?

I don't know which aspect of pretending to have "triggered" people is more pathetic:
1. Being at a low enough state for "triggering" other people to even come up on one's radar as an even potentially good or worthwhile thing; setting such a low standard that it's not really setting a standard at all
2. Regardless of whether one's goal was a good one or not, failing and then pretending to have really secretly succeeded somewhere somehow

Fair enough. I admit I kind of tuned out the thread after the first page or so. I said all I thought was worth saying early on. I'm bemused it's still got legs.

It was dead for almost 2 weeks until Warp12 rezzed it with a WaPo article.

Well, yes. But we aren't talking about a high bar here so that isn't all that meaningful.
This is serious stuff!

Those poor kids have probably never been exposed to something so profane, no doubt.

As well he should be, another awesome own goal.
Because nobody is overly sensitive, of course.

To be clear though, he was fired for a combination of things. It's also another case of a conservative just not owning up to what they were doing. Per the article:
He bails on his job for no valid reason for 3 days. Don't worry though, per him:
He realized he made a mistake, tried to backpedal after losing his job, and now gets to hop on the unemployment line.
Sucks to suck.
Is your employer not sensitive to you just taking off for multiple days with no reason? Do you just make your schedule? My boss would probably have a few questions.

I'll agree that his excuse was lame, but that was probably because he really didn't want to lose his job over some overly-sensitive libs getting butthurt.
I mean, if they were that concerned about his attendance, why even make "Let's Go Brandon" an issue?
It might well be the opposite, tbh. They didn't like the Brandon thing, and then used the other stuff to fire him.

Yet he didn't think ahead enough to just, I don't know, not write it on a public menu? In an elementary school? Which overly sensitive lib was it that made him not show up to work for 3 days? Why does he need someone else to blame? He did it, man up and take responsibility for it.
Also, wouldn't he be the butthurt one, in the first place, that was so emotionally destabilized by Biden that he had to broadcast it in the work place? The first 2 rules of the workplace are to show up on time for your shift, and don't discuss politics\religion. This idiot ****** them both up.
I'm going to introduce you to an extremely popular phrase in America:
"The straw that broke the camel's back."
It would appear he did all of this around the same time. It was all apart of the own goal, as it were.
Sure, sure. Always the victim. I'm sure that was their mindset.
"Look, we can handle you not coming into work when you're scheduled to be here, but we can't have this slogan being written down!"
