Things have gotten so everyday people need to comment aloud. This started w/ the left during Trumps reign, so their outrage should just be dismissed.

It doesn't matter what the political opinion -- it should not be expressed in that capacity.
Telling people to vote is a political statement.

Telling people that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are unalienable rights is a political statement.

That same airline using an LGBTQ logo is a political statement.


Any honest person would recognize that there is a spectrum of political statements and saying let's go Brandon is not in the same ballpark as supporting ISIS.

If the company wants to pursue the pilot they can. To try and make this bigger than what it is, is absurd. Don't be a drama queen.

Let me guess, you think Kaepernick is cool with political speech at work.

Okay, for the record, I don’t really want to hear political statements when I’m patronizing a business, including an airline. However, I can only imagine the positive, fawning media coverage that would happen had the “brave” pilot expressed support for something like Black Lives Matter or some other cause near and dear to the hearts of divisive Democrats.

Her logic is that Trump tried to push false election fraud claims, thus ISIS. The irony is, she supports Hillary still, and Hillary passed info that they knew was false to the FBI to push election fraud Russian hoax claims.

Moreover, if she had above average logic skills, she would realize that one can say let's go Brandon, but not support Trump. Let's go Brandon is an anti-Biden message, which doesn't inherently make it pro-Trump.

The last 20 months, has been the media trying to convince me to be very afraid as they think I should be and them getting mad because I'm not and still refusing to be afraid.

It doesn’t use vulgar words. But, really, it’s something to be amused about in some depressing times.

The pilot literally said "let's go Brandon." He did NOT say "F....J....B....." Apparently that is the same as supporting ISIS to leftist drama queens that approved of F.....Trump stuff.

I think saying "Let's go Brandon" is the same thing as when leftists said "Resist" or "Not my President" during the Trump years. It's a non-vulgar and family-friendly way to voice your displeasure with the current occupant of the White House.

Now that being said, I think people in their official capacity should keep their political beliefs to themself and just do their job. In other words, the pilot should not have said that.
