to the libs whose panties are in a bunch over “let’s go brandon”

Here’s liberal icon Robert De Niro, speaking at a Hollywood awards show ( did you all know that entertainers occasionally get together to give each other awards?? it’s very rare but apparently it does happen), where he starts his speech with “f—- trump”, and gets a huge ovation.

Can’t have it both ways. if this is ok, and it was, then “let’s no brandon” is obviously tame in comparison.

they never stop wanting to have their cake and eat it too.

The "Let's go Brandon" thing doesn't offend me much, I just think it's childish and cowardly. The secret code for "#^&#^&#^&#^& Trump" was, is, and always will be "#^&#^&#^&#^& Trump."

i know lots. i concede “let’s go brandon” it’s juvenile and immature, but it’s also fun if you’re a republican.

you’re not aware of anyone other then De Niro, who used vulgarity in public to describe Trump? Really?

Is he a public official in the halls of Congress? Jim that where you missing the point once again the 2 are not remotely the same are they?

I have seen more vulgar flags bumper stickers and hats promoted by the Trump supporters then anytime I have ever seen but yet we have in TEXAS

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is asking the state's association of school boards to "ensure no child is exposed to pornography or other inappropriate content in a Texas public school," in the latest GOP attempt to dictate what can and can't be taught in classrooms.

Guess kids can see their vulgar messaging on the news and on the street … but we will apply our morals on books we disagree with. Abbot thinks an image of a penis is porn.

I suppose this gets your panties in a bunch also

Josh Hawley says more men today are watching porn and playing video games because their masculinity has been criticized.

Hard to believe but, this guy is a U.S. Senator, telling boys that games and porn are the natural reaction to criticism. Not only is this one of the most majestic snowflake rationalizations of all time, but he has the causation backward.

Just remember Hawley doesn't get paid to soberly address societal problems, he gets paid to use those problems to his advantage.

Hawley isn’t telling men that’s the natural reaction to criticism. Hawley is saying that’s how some
men are reacting. i have no idea if he’s right or not.

Pete, if i say “black fathers are abandoning their children in harmful numbers”, that doesn’t mean I’m telling men to do that. i’m just reporting what’s happening. You don’t see that difference?

you can bet Hawley isn’t talking about an equal share of conservative men and liberal men, Pete. Conservative men arent being told their masculinity is toxic or shameful. Hawley is talking about you.

Congressperson Tlaib said on tv they were going to “impeach the motherf*cker.” She’s a public official, i believe? But that was ok. everything liberals do is swell.

you keep posting about how
bad it is that conservatives want to ban certain books, but you defended liberals who want to ban To Kill A Mockingbird. so is your point that liberal censorship is ok, but not conservative censorship?

The leader of the Incels is talking about me?

Josh Hawley's comment that "men are being drawn to porn & video games" because "their manhood has been 'criticized'" says more about Hawley's male inadequacies than I think he realizes

I’m beginning to understand just how pervasive the hatred for women is throughout the Republican Party. No better example of that than Hawley. I think he’s the idol of all Incels.

Seems you never looked at the link it’s not just liberal who wished to ban to kill a mockingbird but don’t let facts trip you up. And keep supporting State governments banning books .. again your ability to insist 2 clearly different incidents are the same is a skill in DENIAL


eYes Jim and she was soundly rebuked for doing so…. She wasn’t embraced by the Democratic Party Or was it spoke on the floor or the house or Senate

Jerry Nadler (D-NY), chair of the House Judiciary Committee, distanced himself both from Tlaib’s sentiment and the way she expressed it.

“I don’t really like that kind of language. But more to the point, I disagree with what she said,” Nadler said

Pelosi rejected Tlaib’s profanity

But the jerry springer GOP. Remains silent
Yet House GOP leaders urge 'no' vote on Bannon contempt. Once again putting Trump a company before the country..

No ethics no integrity no vision.
Just insult and more of the usual just say No

No one can read your posts and have a clue where you stand on banning books. You're all over the place. It boils down to, as always, liberal=good, conservative=bad.

I don't think most Americans object to banning some books from school libraries. Even public libraries. I'm not saying books be banned completely, but if you like pornographic smut, buy it yourself, you have no right to ask me to pay for it so you can read it for free. If you want to buy it, knock yourself out.

"Yes Jim and she was soundly rebuked for doing so"

By you? Paul? Pete? Please show me those posts? Jerry Nadler? Wow, I'm impressed.

There's no vulgarity to let's go Brandon. It's f-u-n-n-y. Liberals forgot what that word means.

Conservative men arent being told their masculinity is toxic or shameful.

No Jim they are being told and taught to be a conservative MAN you need to learn the art of name calling and shamming of others be as Disrespectful as you possibly can grab that pussy lie to get your way and Most of all don’t let anyone tell you what the truth is .. because the Truth is what you want it to be! And no will not replace you

Right, because liberals don't call people names. Obama didn't tell an audience that the McCain campaign wanted people to be afraid of hos skin color, he didn't say Republicans just "hate all the time", Hilary didn't call half the country deplorable. Biden didn't say that Republicans want to put blacks back in chains. I'm making all of that up. Trump is the only jerk. No one in the democrat party insults people.

GET OVER YOUSELF. Anything to avoid talking honestly about results for two seconds.

Wayne, it started because a reporter (naturally) denied what the crowd was chanting. If the media could have been honest for a split second, we wouldn't even be discussing this. I agree it's immature, I said so before you did.

"That goal post moving job is still open"

Funny because when I asked you how my positions changed yesterday, you said that you weren't referring to me specifically, as a goal post mover.

So You're flip flopping again, not, not me. I said, before you did, that Let's Go Brandon is immature, juvenile. But it's also funny. I'm sorry to break it to you, but not everything funny has to be at the expense of republicans. It is actually possible to make fun of a liberal.

You really, really stink at this.

You're all completely missing the point of Lets Go Brandon. It's at least as much of an arrow aimed at the media, as it is at Biden. The media is constantly telling us to ignore what we plainly see and hear, and listen to their pro-liberal spin instead. The southern border is fine. Our cities are doing well. There's no inflation. The final Afghan withdrawal was a success. Parents in Loudon County have no reason to complain.

It's all of that, culminating with this Nascar reporter (intentionally or not), telling America that they weren't hearing what they were hearing. It's a way to joke about the absurdity of it all, and that "all" includes Foxnews by the way, but it also includes all the liberal outlets which far outnumber the conservative ones.

It's not just giving the finger to Biden, though that's part of it. It's a way to laugh about the indescribably stupid place where we find ourselves, where several left leaning folks here can never, ever, under any circumstances, admot a conservative has a good point. Not only can you never say the conservative is "right", I've never seen one of you admit that a conservative even made a good point. Not once, not ever.

We are in an ugly, absurd place, and I am obviously contributing to it too. or I wouldn't be wasting time here. But I have no problem admitting when one of you makes a good point. You guys can't do it, you aren't physically capable of it.

So let's go Brandon!

BINGO . . . DING DING . . . BULLSEYE. The template was made, and though the riot was a tepid imitation of what was lauded as righteous "protests" in Seattle and Portland and "unrest" in Ferguson, et al, it was framed as a near overthrow of the U.S. government, a destruction of the country, one of the most dangerous moments in our history.

Per participant, far more

And No president encouraged rioting in the case of BLM, the former guy had participants "standing back and standing by" waiting to participate and then sat watching on TV.

And if you want to claim it's not the party of white supremacy then why did Jenna Ryan, a rioter from Texas, claim (incorrectly) "Definitely not going to jail, I have blonde hair, white skin, a great job, a great future and I'm not going to jail. Sorry to rain on your hater parade. I did nothing wrong"

Because of course blonde hair and white skin makes you above the law, that's for those people..............
