    Actually, it is just a funny meme based on a sports interviewer desperately trying to spin an obviously anti-Biden chant into something innocuous because the race winner happened to be named Brandon. It was so silly that it went viral, and now it is comical that the phrase Let's go Brandon can stand in for **** Joe Biden. It has nothing to do with stupid people, the ability to define socialism, or courage. It is just silly fun.

    Not for the ignorant who think that it really means F - Joe Biden....the weird thing is most Dems though we HATE Trump didn't run around chanting that - though Lock him up, seems appropriate.

    Drove past a pickup truck flying a F@&k Biden flag. Another example of trumpism and silly memes I guess.

    If you can't find people saying **** Trump, you aren't looking very hard.
    Amazon.com: **** Trump Flag 3' X 5' Indoor Outdoor Banner Endorses Garden Flag MAGA Campaign Flags

    All the other URL in the top ten of my search contain the F word in the URL, so they wont work as a link, but there are plenty of people who behaved the exact same way for four years. You didn't notice it, because you agreed with them. Now it is suddenly a big deal.
    Yes, people from the opposite party don't like the President. This is not a new thing. It has been going on since at least Clinton. I haven't liked a president in forever, but I don't want to spend money on stupid flags and signs. F all of them though.

    The complaint was about members of government spouting this (not the random utterances of crude people on either side of the political divide). Of course, they are on your side and you agree with them, so naturally you defend them. But this lowering of political discourse wasn't started by trumpism but it sure has been significantly escalated by republicans. Oh yea... "mean tweets" and all that...

    The complaint from @DaDakota was literally about people chanting Let's Go Brandon, which was based on people chanting F Joe Biden. Look back at the quoted post, it doesn't mention members of government. Your complaint was about someone in a truck with a flag. Unless that was a member of government and you just neglected to mention it, that also seems to be squarely within my response.

    They aren't on my side, any more than the F Trump people were on my side. I suppose I agree with both groups. F Trump. F Biden. While we're at it, F Obama and Bush and Clinton too. And Carter. I think that's all the living presidents, but if I missed one, F him too.

    I n don't care about Trump or Biden. They're both garbage. Harris is worse. I encourage you guys to go through DA Dakota 's history including attempting to fight Sam Fisher. He's a fat blowhard

    Vote Republican because Alec Baldwin needs to go to jail for being mean to Trump on SNL.

    I posted the truck flying the offensive flag as a reflection of the sitting congressmen saying f$%#k Biden that I responded to. I'd find it just as offensive and below how members of congress should act if they said f#$%k trump. And pretending you don't support republican government leaders is simply disingenuous... feigning 'independence" (or "libertarianism") while voting for and supporting every republican politician and cause, just to avoid responsibility is pretty weak IMO. But you be you...

    That might be a good point if I voted for every republican politician and cause.

    Lol Exactly.

    I have to guess that the only reason he is still in the United States is because he honestly thinks he can win in 2024 because of his grip on 40% of the country and the billionaire class who sees him as a vessel for tax savings. He's making a calculation that any sort of crimes he's committed can just be delayed past 2024, and then he's got immunity as President. Make it to 2022 when the Republicans win back Congress and at the state level more enough to help him get back into the presidency legitimately or illegitimately in 2024, and then he's good.

    I think it's that simple. Otherwise, he'd have fled the country on January 7th. People who stage a Coup and lose don't typically stay in that country too long, and usually are arrested within days. Only in America I guess.....

    Billionaire donations favored Biden over Trump by a wide margin (and that doesn't include Bloomberg/Zuckerberg who spent billions to defeat Trump indirectly)

    Here is a quote. Huge difference there indeed sir.

    Four months later, when the campaign ended, Trump finished with 133 billionaire backers who collectively gave him $37.8 million. Biden, meanwhile, had 230 donors who contributed $39.1 million.

    Huge Huge what 2% difference? That's the difference between someone that is partisan and someone that can simply just say they are both bought sometimes by different interests sometimes the same ones.

    If he has the Democrats in power he has a reason to fundraise and something to rail against at rallies with pissed off people.
