All I can say is this guy better not apologize to anyone. He said it and he should stand up to it instead of make excuses for himself. Do like elon Musk did. Stand up to what your said.

I've noticed that the right hate the left's ideas and policies(open borders, defund police). While the left hates the actual people that hold conservative views(diners kicked out of restaurants, bernie supporter shooting congress members)

Most likely an underdeveloped cerebellum that prevents or severely limits the ability to distinguish comical recognition. YMMV

You can say that the phrase in the quote above is ignorant. But I don't want to pass judgement.

If he meant no disrespect, why did he tell POTUS to go **** himself?

And exactly how is this a joke?
^^^

Exactly. It was not a joke. He chose to be offensive to the President of the United States because in America his freedom of speech is near absolute and protected by the First Amendment. No one can punish him — not in America. Yay for all of us.

What is galling is his crowing excuse about his utilization of his First Amendment Rights to insult President Biden and Mrs. Biden, while now whining how unfair it is that others are utilizing their right to free speech to point out his incivility and rudeness. He is being criticized and shamed for being a jerk. His incivility is constitutionally protected, it is not immune from public criticism.

Wanna be a rude and crass jerk who brags about it go ahead,--- as Schmeck says he has every legal right to do so--- but it is definitely not illegal or unfair of others to point out audaciously bad manners by using their First Amendment protections to shame public self aggrandizement of coarseness and disrespect .

Schmeck is not only a rude jerk he is an ignorant rude jerk who doesn't understands the first thing about the First Amendment, let alone civility.

We saw this happen in real time with the NBC reporter covering up the will of the people in REAL TIME and spinning it in the administration's favor. It's the most brilliant catch phrase possible for our time, because it means all that AND it's a polite way of voicing displeasure with the utter incompetence of Joe Biden
On "Let's Go Brandon" you are entirely correct.

That is why I stick with the truth- FJB!

Huh?
Jan 6, Charlottesville, proud boys, planned parenthood bombing, mosque, black church and temple bombings and shootings…
All by self identified right wing terrorists.
Want to count bodies?

The guy isn't the brightest. Any of you would have known that if you choose to go public you would have serious backlash.

Actions have consequences....the guy didn't think through the whole idea. His latest statement does little to make him look better..

It's sad for Brown, but the sponsors have a right not to be associated with "Let's go, Brandon" if they don't want to
Then the reporter shouldn't have lied. It wouldn't be a thing if she, or other "news" people, would stop lying. That the internet turned her lie into a meme, is on her.

Just having a good time.

Meant no disrespect.



When I say it (or worse) I mean disrespect. No one needs to explain him/herself to anyone for insulting Brandon.
