I've got a friend who lives in DC named Brandon, he's a huge Dem supporter.  I like to text him things like, "Hey, we're planning that couple vacation for July, and we need to know which dates work for you.  The other guys have let me know, but we're still waiting for you.  Let's Go, Brandon!"

I do this every couple of weeks or so.  It amuses me.  Him, not so much. :)

The flight crew on an airplane has virtually absolute authority over anyone else, the Captain is basically a dictator, he can tell the President what to do, legally.

I find fairly often that news videos don't show the entire episode and perhaps the FA told him to put his mask over his nose or somesuch and he refused.

He or she can boot him at that point, and would.

Can't we all agree that "Let's go Brandon" is just about the dumbest 'joke' ever? 

A week or three, tops, would have been appropriate staying power for it.

I've heard some pretty dumb jokes.  I view this one with minor amusement, and expect it has legs.

When it first happened, and with the fervor with which everyone jumped on it, I assumed that it had actually been Biden or some prominent Dem trying to deflect the chant. THAT would be worth making it a thing.

The fact that it was a freakin' NASCAR announcer that said it? Kinda pulls the wind out of the sails on that one.

Except it was not an announcer.



On Oct. 2, Brandon Brown won his first Xfinity Series Nascar race at the Talladega Superspeedway. NBC Sports reporter Kelli Stavast interviewed Brown following his win on the race track with a crowd behind him chanting "Fuck Joe Biden," which has been often chanted at US sporting events over the past several months.

During the interview, Stavast remarks about the crowd saying, "You can hear the chants from the crowd. Let's go Brandon."

It reminds me of the old "saying" "S^&* happens" that sort of caught fire way back (Gump days).  Duh.  It was never "funny", perhaps mildly amusing, not even insightful.

But it was fairly popular for a time, as one example.  Folks can of course say or post "FJB" and mean the same thing, but it's viewed as more clever I suppose to say LGB.  

I personally would neither say it nor feature it on my person.  It is a way for folks to display their politics in public, much as wearing a face mask when it's clearly not needed is a means of doing this.  (I understand it when I see an Asian wearing one, they likely were three years ago also.)

Wearing a face mask today (when it's clearly unneeded) is a way to signal "I'm a woke liberal who hates DT".  Ok then.  (It's also a way to keep your face warm.)

Okay, so it was a pit reporter. A nobody. This wasn't exactly the NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt.

Well it’s not really a joke anymore. It’s a way for people to say F Joe Biden without actually having to swear.  you remember/ how they used to do with Trump except for they would say it including many of our wonderful elites who had the microphone.  Heard it live minimally once a week from some well-known person somewhere. 

Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

do they boot for BLM signs on masks or anti Trump sign on masks if so then no problem but I would be surprised
