A small sample amongst many, mind you.

Parent uses right-wing slur during Biden call with NORAD Santa tracker

Apparently, the use of the phrase 'Let's Go Brandon' has (breathlessly) 'become popular in right-wing crowds.'

I would have hoped the people now trying to extol the virtues of good tone at the present were half as good about extolling that tone (or chastising bad tone) in the prior Administration, or for that matter, in the 8 years of the Shrub administration.

Just to be clear --- that left that is now *outraged* over one saying 'Lets Go Brandon' to the current President is the same bunch that heroically noted the middle finger biker.... *and* rewarded that action by electing her to public office.

Sorry, I am not going to get as worked up as some over this.

You know that those examples aren't really remotely similar, right?

Had the woman been biking with Trump, had a nice conversation with him, and then flipped him the finger, it would be similar.

That photo is no different than people flying "**** Joe Biden" flags.

Seriously, it's pretty funny to try and compare a woman flipping the bird to a motorcade with a father having a civil conversation with the Bidens about his children, and ending it with a "**** you buddy."

Also, I agree that it's nothing to get worked up about. It was a bad decision by the guy to do what he did. But if someone wants to post an article about it on the Parliament, I think it's more than appropriate to call it out as bad behavior. I'd note that the woman with the raised finger lost her job and then won an election (which is what the article you posted was about).

Yes, such a massive and distinctive difference. With literally 4 years of nothing *but* "**** Trump" plastered from the left, mind you..... in every angle possible. I guess that has zero import to 'bad behavior' from the left.

But, in light of that very incessant tone (for the last three R terms, mind you), how *dare* someone denote 'Lets go Brandon' in his presence. Cry me a river.
