The cruelty of the right wing!

It’s amazing that there are folks who can stoop so low just to get a laugh?

President & Mrs. Biden were doing a call-in show for Christmas and NORAD for kids. They took a call which was a man who utter “Lets go Brandon”.

I know they have been using that pathetic rhetoric sentence for sometime now. But really, why then? At least Biden did this for the kids, cuz Trump didn’t like doing these events and all he would do was talk about his enormous ego!

Biden just moved on and didn’t let that spoil the event. He is class act and I’m so proud of how he conducted himself. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. President for all you do and stand for. Merry Christmas to everyone in the White House.

Our president didn't even seem to catch the slight. He is such a good hearted soul that even a republican fool was met with grace and humility. His reaction Hopefully gave that caller pause and made him rethink his boorish behavior

“Childish.” “Evil” and “cruel” don’t quite characterize this incident for me.

So much of right wing behavior falls under this description. The entire Republican strategy of noncooperation with Obama and continuing with President Biden and the Democratically controlled Congress is childish. It is the playground strategy of I’ll take my football and go home if I can’t win.

It is very hard to govern. Look how hard it has been for the Dems to work with members of the party like Manchin and Sinema. That is reality and continuing to work at it is what democracy is all about. It is a difficult but commendable form of government.

It is for adults, not children, and that is why, as you say, people laugh at them.

They speak in code because they don't have the guts to say it outright, especially not to his face. They think they're being clever, but they're not. They're just a bunch chickenshits, who have been whipped up into a hateful frenzy by a conman and his rancid toadies. This clown may think he got away with something, but he only succeeded in exposing himself to the world as a pathetic, feckless tool.

As for Joe Biden, he's been through a hell of a lot worse than being the subject of some pathetic dirtbag's childish stunt. I can't imagine that he is the least bit bothered by this crap.

9. 'Let's go Brandon' won our Christmas Parade float award
Sat Dec 25, 2021, 09:06 AM

The winning Christmas Parade float had a nativity scene on one side, on the other: 'Let's Go Brandon.'
Really. I still don't know how to post photos on DU, but you can see and comment on Facebook Alamogordo Chamber of Commerce post it's the only one with lots of comments.

Then, on my Facebook page, Denise Lang-Browne, one could see the picture I posted yesterday of a man with a mask on in WalMart, which would ordinarily be good, but this one had a Confederate flag on his mask.
One of my younger friends said this all makes him hate our county, but I reminded him of the times I have loved our county for every performance of THe Vagina Monologues, the 10 years we had a 'We Trust Women' commemoration of Roe v Wade rally at our busy intersection, the huge (for Otero County) Orlando vigil...

I'm struggling with a complaint or possible criminal violation of my rights on Election Day, Nov 2. The Chair of the Republican party tried to have me removed from my legal electioneering place...unsuccessfully. I requested a report of the Incident and was told they didn't have to do one...so I asked around with friends, got advice so then I requested the Dispatch Transcript, which had some interesting info...then I requested the audio, but have been unable to hear it. I have a friend's son who (may) help me after Christmas. If he can't help me hear the audio, I'll find someone else.
I already reported it to the Election Bureau of the Sec'y of State but they said it was a criminal concern, if anything.

until the organizers realized it made them look like childish Dipshits.

They disqualified the LGB boat and awarded the prize to the 2ND Place boat whose theme was "Peace on Earth"

Let me repeat that THEY AWARDED THE PRIZE TO THE 2ND PLACE BOAT WHOSE THEME WAS "PEACE ON EARTH"

What really brought this story home to me was that the "Peace on Earth" theme came is 2ND Place.

Kind of says a lot, doesn't it?
