Holiday caller to Biden: 'Merry Christmas and let's go Brandon'

Quote:
A man who called in to the North American Aerospace Defense Command's (NORAD) annual holiday Santa tracking program wished President Biden and first lady Jill Biden a Merry Christmas on Friday before saying “let’s go Brandon,”

A father, identified as Jared, called into the NORAD line and had a brief conversation with Biden. He was calling on behalf of his four children, according to CNN.

“Well I hope you have a wonderful Christmas,” Biden told the man.

“Yeah, I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas as well. Merry Christmas and let’s go Brandon,” the man said.

“Let’s go Brandon, I agree,” Biden responded.

Well, we have become a planet of children. I'm sure the caller thinks he was very clever. I have to laugh at all the poor, working class Americans who think a man like Trump is here to save them.

You do realize one can dislike Biden without supporting Trump, don't you?

Yes, I dislike Biden and don't support Trump. But, I don't think that's the case with this man.

@0:51 is where we see Jill Biden die inside. Meanwhile Joe is completely clueless. Biden is a year or two older than Reagan was when he left office and revealed he had Alzheimer's.

Given the hyperpartisan nature of our poltical climate, you are probably quite correct. However, I didn't pick up on anything in the caller's comments to suggest that he's in alignment with Trump's views.

It's a very dangerous place in which we find ourselves. The continued manipulation by the media to stoke the poltical divide will only accelerate the collapse of the U.S. It only serves those who rule us.

Certainly seems a continuing double standard for certain individuals to claim the "high moral ground" when it comes to the left criticising right wing "icons" but they (apparently) still have no concerns over continuing to use vile/bottom of the barrel humour to denigrate democrat leaders.

I think the DNC pushing Biden could be considered elder abuse. Come on, I wonder if he's even able to locate his dick when he has to urinate.

It's more a case that the previous president had the same (and worse) vitriol directed at himself and his supporters, with the media presenting it as being "acceptable" (or even virtuous), then when the positions are reversed, such behaviour is then considered "vile/bottom of the barrel humour" - Either the behaviour was "vile/bottom of the barrel humour" initially, when one side was "dishing it out", (and so is still "vile/bottom of the barrel humour"), or it was acceptable behaviour then, and so is now.

To be a double standard, it would either require:
People to have been continually outraged about (and fighting against) the treatment the former president received, speakingout about this, and then (using a double standard) giving the same treatment to the current President.
OR
People having no issue with certain treatment directed at the former president, but getting outraged because the current president receives the same treatment that the previous one did.

Considering the way the media normalised certain treatment towards the former president, there are very few people likely to be in the former category, but quite a lot in the latter making false claims of "double standards" because it is now "their" side on the receiving end of treatment their side initiated and normalised.

I got hundreds of reports of unsubstantiated "trumped up" lies about Biden peddled by GOP sympathisers.

The "Let's go Brandon", jokes about Biden dropping dead, making fun of his senility, claims he;s a pedophile and tying him to outrageous conspiracies (all covertly and overtly supported by the GOP), snide remarks about his wife and outrageous attacks on his children all amount to tit for tat.

I see it as mocking the media instead of Biden.
