Really? What was the phrase originated to communicate? Sounds like a lot of people chanting the slogan had a heavy-duty crush on Uncle Joe.

yes, that’s what we are being told. but you actually believe it? why are trump
rallies so peaceful? why haven’t all those in attendance done anything? conservative talk show hosts who support trump and are friends with him denounce 1/6. the narrative doesn’t hold up to reality.

The phrase was made up by an NBC newswomen interviewing a Nascar driver named Brandon Brown. Is NBC in the business of creating political slogans? How do you know the fire fighter isn't just a fan of Brandon Brown? I know you want to assume you know everything about the details of this case, right down to who this person voted for, but you can no more make that assumption than you can assume all people wearing BLM shirts voted for Joe Biden or can be considered Joe Biden supporters.


I consider LGB to be modern day Americana, a relic our time, and part of our culture.

Personally, I believe firemen should only be wearing shirts that bear the name and number of the firehouse they belong to.
Did you find an article suggesting the San Francisco Fire Fighters are allowed to wear a BLM or LGB shirt?

The issue is they were out of uniform.

It's wrong.

You can wear all the BLM stuff you want. You could even be the leader of pAntifa... But if we spot you sporting "let's go Brandon" gear, that is crossing the line in San Fran...
I remember during the 2020 Summer of Love, Joe Biden Campaign Rally's, aka "Mostly Peaceful Protest fire-bombing riots and them going after cops and firefighters just trying to save lives.

Firefighters hate liberals' antics and I don't blame them.

San Fran has WAYYY bigger problems to worry about right now. And the future isn't looking any brighter for that place. But they choose to pick on this fire fighter, because TDS. Interesting.

If the firefighter violated the policy then he should be disciplined. There is really no need for politics on the job.

But this policy needs to be applied equally if a Firefighter is seen wearing any "Liberal" favoring group or person they too need to be disciplined in the same way. However, this is San Francisco so if there ever is a Firefighter who did that, I doubt they would be called out on Social Media.

Don't be disingenuous. It's unbecoming. The newswoman's name is Kellie Stavast and the interview was at Talladega in October of 2021.

He violated their written dress code, as would the wearer of clothing with a BLM, Antifa, Joe Biden, or Bernie Sanders slogan.
