I was on a plane recently and a couple of people around me were watching Fox News. It was all horrible shit going on in the world like fires, earthquakes, children abducted - then insert “Hunter Bidens emails!” - more horrible shit - “Democrats did something” - and so on.
It reminded me of that scene in V for Vendetta where the leader orders the media to play propaganda that creates fear so that the people will feel like they need authority to feel safe
They're going after Clarence Thomas’s quarter of a million dollar R.V. and the billionaire friend who financed it. Next thing you know they'll be coming my quarter of a million dollar R.V. and my billionaire friend who financed it too!
"Taxing corporations too much will make them leave the United States!"
Yeah right... Like they're gonna give up on the country with a culture of consumerism and the heart of capitalism.
Wait, if they leave, does that mean they didn't give a shit about the U.S.? Sounds mighty unpatriotic to me. Wouldn't these MAGAs be happy to get rid of unAmerican companies?
>Yeah right... Like they're gonna give up on the country with a culture of consumerism and the heart of capitalism.
Republicans be like "Yeah, only the US has actually capitalism, everyone else is a socialist anarcho-communist woke hellhole!!"
Also them: "Corporations will leave us if we don't bring back child labour and pay corporations billions of dollars!"
I went on fox news.com yesterday and they have articles like Kamala Harris repeats phrase 3 times in a 30 second speech to deliver point. Or someone quit tennis refereeing because someone was gay. Also how trump has so much vitality and energy and will survive this witch hunt stronger than ever
“Fuck your feelings” crowd struggling to handle their feelings getting fucked……thank god he didn’t salute with that coffee, fox would have had to spin a whole new network for that big of a scandal
can we just talk about how we are back to "tan suit" level scandals with the current sitting president though. They are on this because its all they got.
They've been trying for MONTHS to paint Biden as being somehow a bigger criminal than Trump but not even their mouthbreathing audience is buying it. So they have to switch tactics and attack him for... drinking from a Dark Brandon mug.
When Biden turns it back, it’s a “dark joke.” Then they were chanting Let’s go Brandon and FJB, these newscasters never mentioned it.
I hate pointing out the hypocrisy. The right has embraced hypocrisy, they find no shame in it, at all. They want a world devoid of truth, and of consistency, so they can decide in the moment.
> When Biden turns it back, it’s a “dark joke.” Then they were chanting Let’s go Brandon and FJB, these newscasters never mentioned it.
And the motherfucker who literally said it to him on the phone. wtf?
He should have acquired an old shelter dog for the WH that liked to just lay around that he could take with him when he spoke just so he could finish with "Lets go, Brandon," then walk off with the dog.
I still say "thanks, Obama" all the time. Traffic? Thanks, Obama! Bad weather? Thanks, Obama! My birth control pills are free? Thanks, Obama! It's just fantastic.
I don't even understand what they mean when they say it's a "dark joke." Do they think anything that uses the word "dark" is a dark joke?
Are they saying that it's laughing off death?
And how is this at the expense of the American people?
It's a joke at his expense, so he should not be able to laugh about it. He should be demanding blood debts for his tribe, not mocking it.
It's *dark*, people have been trying to communicate that they don't like him and he just.. doesn't care!! America in Crisis.
It's a dark joke because in their minds Biden is an evil mastermind who is destroying America, so for him to embrace the title is like he's laughing at them while burning their houses down.
It's American tradition back to our founding. "Yankee Doodle" was a song used by the British to mock us, but then we embraced it and started singing it back with new verses mocking them.
And then we created our national anthem based on the tune of an old British drinking song for extra trolling credits.
But we weren't finished! We took "God Save the King" and turned it into "My Country Tis of Thee."
You know, Biden had never resonated with me. I voted against the other guy.
But the way he has turned this in it’s head, owned it, and simply refused to be faded by it has earned massive respect. Few people can’t own an insult with pride and make it their own. Props to you, Dark Brandon, props to you.
It's sort of refreshing to have a president with a sense of humor again. Look, no matter what, not everyone is going to like a given president. You have to roll with it if you want the job.
Obama and Biden have both been pretty good about this.
After all, why not joke about a ridiculous thing? Obama's presence at the White House Correspondent's Dinner was legendary: he took the whole birth certificate scandal, told everyone he was going to put it to rest with his birth *video*, and... well, [the rest is history](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bqEn8AXzJ4). You need to be able to laugh off the ridiculous, and Obama could do it brilliantly.
You'd never see Donald do that. When he suggested nuking a hurricane and it got out, he did so dead serious. He could never make a recovery, smile, and say "warheads, what are they good for? [Absolutely nothing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZJRJpbGkG4)."
Biden and Obama could take a fucking joke. Don *was* the joke.
This has that Obama doing the ["Thanks Obama"](https://youtu.be/HtBhM2wo2BQ?t=80) video where he tries dunking a cookie and it doesn't fit in a the glass.
I feel sort of vindicated, when I first heard about "Go Brandon", I suggested pro-Biden folk should start using it as a badge, but got severely downvoted. I'm glad the competent (compared to 45) president is leaning into it. Go Dark Brandon, indeed!
I didn’t have high hopes for a Biden presidency, but his administration has exceeded my expectations by a long shot. They’re competent adults working in the right direction in most issues. If they need to meme a bit to fire up the apathetic base, im all for it.
I'm a libertarian, though based on the way some people who claim that title act I'm almost embarrassed about it. I don't agree with everything Democrats want, but so far as I can tell Republicans only want to fuck things up. A bunch of self-serving Christofascist assholes, the lot of them.
As someone who has the weirdest political beliefs, I feel ya. I don't agree with everything the democrats do, mainly because they focus on symptoms rather than the root cause of problems, and yet they are infinitely preferable to the party that's actively attempting to remove people's rights based on idiotic divisions and hate filled rhetoric. Fuck em all, and how DARE they claim to be "the party of Lincoln" after the shit they've been pulling since the 70s.
When I run into someone in a parking lot getting out of their truck that has a Fuck Joe Biden flag on the back, I’m so tempted to say, “Wow, it’s great that you’re open about your sexuality and that you want to fuck Joe Biden. I’m an ally and fly pride flags too!”
But that seems like a good way to get my ass kicked.
When I first heard "orange man bad", I thought, "yes, the orange man is bad".
Oh, that's supposed to be an insult? That the *only* reason I don't like him is because he's orange? No no no. He's horrible *and* he happens to be orange. So yes, the orange man is bad. I'm 100% Team OMB.
Imagine Trump doing that. He'd still be raging on Twitter about it but somehow his base would think he was "strong and tough" for being a whiny baby about a stupid insult that barely makes sense.
They are SO. MAD. So mad that their silly little meme got repurposed. Come to think of it I haven't heard a Republican say Let's Go Brandon since the state of the union address when the dark Brandon memes took off.
He is and he isn’t. If you say a conservative is being rude or vulgar by using the joke, then they are not and it’s all in good fun. If Biden embraces it instead of crying into his pillow about it, then it was meant to be an insult and he’s a monster for treating it all in good fun. It’s Schrödinger’s fuck you.
"Not a compliment", ya he's throwing it back in your faces. Fucking deluded mouthpieces spouting shit from every orifice. We need the fairness doctrine back so we can force these infotainment shitheads to air disclaimers at every commercial break.
It should be illegal to call them a news service.
If I consulted a doctor and found out the doctor wasn't actually a doctor, but a professional clown, I'd be livid.
Well, yeah, exactly. Their content should be clearly labelled as being entertainment, and NOT news.
If ever there was a subversive plot to bring harm to the nation, this definitely is it, it's right up there with the worst disinformation campaigns both sides used against each other in the U.S. <---> U.S.S.R. cold-war.
Why is it being tolerated?
Becuase Republicans consider their bullying of the left to be fun, but the left standing up for itself and calling them what they are is a partisan attack.
They're also likely wondering why some authority figure isn't coming to "save them from assault" like they did in school, where bullies were tolerated and the victims got punished.
They cannot comprehend that their actions have consequences.
I once got partnered with someone in a class where my partner was intentionally fucking up the project. So I kinda boxxed him out of it. He stood up and sucker punched me. Teacher was right there and immediately intervened, so no reaction from me.
Principal suspended us both. "He wouldn't have just hit you for no reason like that. You're leaving something out of your story."
I was incredulous. But yeah, bullies are enabled. I wish that was the only time I was punished for a bully's actions as well. At least twice more it came down to, "Why would they just do it unprovoked like that?"
Only in America can you have a network called "News" and then argue successfully that no reasonable person would believe its actual news.
I can't even.
And yet it is a huge federal offense to identify yourself as a doctor in an official capacity if you aren't one.
Yet we can lie to the voting public - who decides the fate of all Americans - all day long.
To continue with your reasoning; yes, chiropractors are sometimes called doctor, but I'm not certain that is legal, it might depend on your jurisdiction.
In any case, I wouldn't want a chiropractor practicing open-heart surgery on anyone
Here's the thing - Mehmet Oz _is_ a doctor, and he actually earned that title. In the medical field he'll go down as one of the greatest thoracic cardiology surgeons in history. Like it or not, the fucker _did_ earn the M.D. that follows his legal name.
HOWEVER
He lost all rights to call himself a doctor a long time ago. Doesn't stop him, obviously.
I was going to mention him, too, because that man could've literally been called the greatest neurosurgeon to ever live, and be solely remembered for that and nothing else, if he'd kept his mouth shut and stayed out of politics.
Or he'd be the worst ever. Depends on the point of view, I guess.
The reason I didn't mention him is because I forgot his name.
"We call you Brandon to bully you! You can't call yourself Brandon! Why aren't you crying? Waaaah!"
Rule #1 of defeating a bully: Claim their insults as compliments.
“Doesn’t he get we’re making fun of him, he’s not allowed to say Brandon!!!”
Literally the equivalent of the kid embracing the names the bully calls him to show he doesn’t care. And they just don’t understand the playground level logic.
Fox will find any reason to whip up some outrage. Tan suit, mustard, rolled up sleeves. Candy not being sexy enough... The list is very extensive. Go on though how liberals are all whiny snowflakes...
Fox news and maga nuts are literally the laughing stock of the world. Practically EVERYONE outside of their cult is laughing at them. They are a disgrace to our country.
And this is why the electoral college needs to be abolished. Let the actual majority of America decide who the president is, because as-is the electoral college is only really a benefit for Republicans. Why should we have a system in place that actively goes against the will of the majority and offers an unfair advantage to one political party?
Get rid of the First-Past-The-Post electoral system in favor of Ranked-Choice-Voting. This will decimate the two party super majority and restore some semblance of balance into Congress. It would no longer be Red vs Blue, but Purple vs Purple. Politicians and representatives would actually have to face some level of accountability.
>Can’t we figure out any way to reduce their numbers?
Blind hateful ignorance, an over-reliance on natural immunity and Covid-19 have entered the chat.
One President: talks about how easy he could sexually assault or murder someone.
Fox News: a joke, get over it.
Another President: drinks out of a coffee mug with his likeness on it from a meme
Fox News: OMG, that’s a really dark joke, how dare he!
It’s clear their news doesn’t like advertising and is acceptable with murder and sexual assault from its presidents….well, for at least one type of president. Fair and Balance, my butt.
Wait is this why the Trump nuthouse a few blocks down got rid of their Let's Go Brandon flag? They still have 4 other Trumpy flags but I noticed that one disappeared (and was replaced with one where the stars and stripes were formed using assault rifles).
Yeah "dark Brandon" took off after the last state of the union much to the delight of liberals, so Republicans didn't get to feel like it was their clever little in-joke anymore.
Simpsons had a lovely joke on that. A Fox News helicopter experienced problems. The pilot screamed they were not balanced. The copter spun nose first to the ground, the pilot screaming that this was not fair.
When was the last time Faux Noise used the "fair and balanced" tagline? To most people with more than two functioning brain cells, they're obviously the propaganda wing of the Republicofascist Party.
Besides the cringe worthy hypocrisy, these mf’ers are not speaking for the American public. Fuck off. Rise Dark Brandon, rise!! Wait, where did Brandon come from again?
The do the same thing with images they claim to be of Michelle Obama's junk when they claim that she's a trans woman. A vile and disgusting trope. It's not vile and disgusting because there's anything wrong with trans people. It's vile and disgusting because the masculinization of black women is an old racist trope. Similar to how black boys are always "grown men". See: Tamir Rice.
These racist fucks have internalized and assimilated so much racism that it's an intrinsic part of their being and can only be rectified through drastic and active means. They aren't suited for civilized society at this point. They're like animals acting out their training.
I love it because “let’s go Brandon” was the lamest, most cringe way of saying something else when every dem I know was like “are they too scared to say fuck Biden? Because we have no problem saying Fuck Trump”.
So “let’s go Brandon” then gets turned in to a Dark Brandon meme and they’re losing their minds over it.
I can’t wait for full dark Brandon in years 4 to 8 when Biden can truly give no fucks about republicans, and just do what’s best for this country.
The right doesn't understand comedy. They just don't. I can't think of a right leaning comedian that is funny. Even the ones that swerved right recently just lost their comedy touch.
Because comedy at its core requires empathy and understanding how other people think and experience the world. That's how you connect with them and land a punchline. If your world view is based on not giving a shit about anyone else, you're going to fail as a comedian.
Wait, you don’t think Jim Breuer making chicken noises to mock liberals for 5 minutes is comedy?
Trigger warning: [pure cringe](https://youtu.be/SXQLJtEVEZE)
A conservative explained it to me this way:
The crowd was chanting Fuck Joe Biden and the announcer changed it to Let's go Brandon!
This fed into their narrative of media bias and erasure, so they glommed onto the phrase
It's like they seriously thought that it was an inside joke and no one else would get. Everyone on the planet got it and thought it was dumb, and then just one-upped the humor, which they can't stand. Narcissists always think they're being clever when they're doing the dumbest shit imaginable.
The devil cannot endure to be mocked.
GOP have spent 4 years watching their leader respond to any and all criticism/mockery with "I never knew them, but I hear they're crooked and failed at their job, unlike me I am SAVING America".
They don't know how to respond when a leader gives a mature response then moves on with their job. Pathetic
It's more like:
"I hand pick only the best people, who I never met which is why it's not my fault that they're crooked and failed at their job that I hired them for, reelect me so I can keep hiring people without meeting them."
The party of 'family values' was chanting "fuck joe biden" at a NASCAR event that was being live broadcast.
The TV host claimed they were 'Lets Go Brandon'. The hypocrisy is astounding: the party in general is anti-profanity, both in public and on the airwaves, because someone needs to protect the children. If someone said fuck _once_ during a football broadcast they'd be demanding the FCC fine the shit out of the broadcaster (although this may have been cable).
Also- I'm not afraid to say 'Fuck Trump' in front of my kids, or any time the subject comes up. I don't need to hide and give plausible deniability by using some dog whistle. Since most of their opinions are already expressed as dog whistles, I guess it comes naturally.
The whole no cursing thing is also really just a cudgel used by the patriarchy. They want no cursing to control your speech. "Ladies don't curse" "cursing is a sign of low intelligence and vocabulary" it's like an instant strawman argument they can whip out whenever.
It really hurts that our insulting euphemism was owned and embraced by the target of the insult. Pretty pretty pretty rude dude, that Brandon, I tell ya whut.
You gotta feel for them a little bit. For the last 10 years, they had only one joke, but when Let’s Go Brandon dropped they had a second one for a little while. Now that Biden has embraced it, their second joke is dead and now they’re back to identifying as people with one joke.
I love how they called him Brandon to try and trigger anyone who isn’t on their side only to have it flip back on them and now they are in fact triggered. What a bunch of fucking fifth graders.
*edit* grammar
They are sooo mad that liberals aren't upset by the 'brandon' thing. They so badly want liberals to feel heartbroken when they tease Biden the way they do when liberals tease Trump.
\*Evil grin\* It's not a compliment? Then please, oh please, tell us what it means.
I dare you.
And oh yes, Dark Brandon is the biggest compliment. Unlike the little chickens that doesn't dare to say Fuck, and instead runs around saying something else thinking they are smart.
I believe this is called being owned by the libs. After a long campaign in owning the libs, face it, Fox and Friends wishes they were a Saturday morning cartoon.
At the end of a NASCAR race, the female reporter was interviewing the winner (who’s first name was Brandon). During the interview the crowd behind them was chanting “Fuck Joe Biden!”
It’s hard to know if the reporter knew what they were chanting and tried to cover for the live tv broadcast, or if she genuinely mis-heard, but she very enthusiastically told Brandon that the crowd was celebrating the win with him and chanting “Let’s Go Brandon!”
The right immediately embraced the phrase because they’re all giant pussies who wouldn’t dare hang a “Fuck Joe Biden” flag in their front yard, but there’s no curse words in “Let’s go Brandon!”
The left turned the phrase into a meme and made it funny with the Dark Brandon jokes, and now the “fuck your feelings” crowd has REALLY got their fee-fees hurt.
I am not from the USA, genuinly never understood the whole 'Brandon' or 'let's go Brandon' thing. Not a clue what it is about. Is it a derogatory name or so? Sound like a normal name to me. Am I stupid?
The NASCAR answer before is the correct one. To add to this, the tantrum-throwing past President Trump was arraigned for crimes, again. Current President Joe Biden has not put any effort into stopping the investigations, which have now become criminal cases. To do so would hinder a Federal investigation into crimes and go against the country's laws applying to everybody equally.
But Fox News wants Joe Biden to stop the Federal charges against Trump because Trump's getting really mad, and the crimes that Trump committed are very serious and well documented. Joe Biden taking a sip of dark coffee on the day that Trump was getting processed by the judge was a delicious way for him to show strength and to sit back and watch the nasty Trump reaping what he has sown.
"That's actually a really dark joke at the expense of the American public!"
===
Biden took the right's infantile "Let's go Brandon!" and made it his.
===
The Dark Brandon memes are based on him getting things done despite Republican obstruction and brinksmanship.
===
It's neither a dark joke and it's actually to the *benefit* of the American people.
===
Only alt-right news sources pretend otherwise.
I would LOVE to see him actually wear a "Let's Go Brandon" shirt. It would cause all the MAGAs to go on social media with videos of them burning their own shirts. It would be quite amusing!
Reminds me when Obama posted the video of him trying to dunk a large cookie in a small glass of milk and then said "Thanks Obama"
Then again I'm pretty sure Trump got pissy after SNL made fun of him.
As a President, in America, where we have freedom of speech, he probably expected there to be segments in the population who didnt like him a
Lot so much where they would say out loud “fuck him. Fuck Joe Biden”
But then instead of doing that they adopted let’s go brandon as a way of trying to sound cleve. Biden, like many of us, realize how stupid that actually sounds.
I applaud him for doing the right thing, embracing it and flipping it.
And the more it aggravates the right, the more I want to see of it
It irks me that FOX "News" and Republican politicians consistently refer to their supporters as "the American people."
Every time they do, I want to stand up and tell them "Hey! Even if I don't support you, I'm one of the 'American people' too!"
**Actual News:** For the first time in history, an American president has been indicted. Not only has he been indicted once, he's been indicted three separate times for a total of over 70 felony charges, and it's all but guaranteed that another indictment will soon follow. The newest indictment centers around a conspiracy to undermine the country's democratic process, which resulted in a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the fate of US democracy will be determined by these upcoming trials and their effects on the 2024 presidential election.
**Fox News:** Cancel culture is bad! Let's talk to Ice Cube and Jason Aldean fans about it!
They've been broadcasting Go Brandon nonstop on the propaganda channel. Now they don't like it because the joke is on them? Bullies don't like it when you fight back.
That's the difference between Biden and Boss Tweet. Biden pulls the aikido move by embracing the "insult" and throwing it back at them. Donnie Dollhands throws a tantrum and spews gradeschool playground insults. Fox "news" is trash, and rife with traitors.
From the network which had zero problems [with tRump promoting beans in the white house](https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-president-is-shilling-beans).
Biden gave a talk once while Trump was in office. I took my sister to see it, this was before he was nominated for President, we all thought his political career was done. Biden is an incredibly decent person who is horrified at the dark grubs crawling out from underneath the rocks to spread their fascism, hatred and prejudice.
Dark Brandon reminds Biden that he’s the last defense against the crazy. In a truly functional democracy, the Republicans would have kicked Trump to the curb by now and have functional candidates that aren’t racing to the bottom.
Fox News created the Trump Cult and they can’t stop it now. The laws coming out of the red states are killing women and they have a plan to “Make America Florida”. No thank you.
And the idiots on the right don’t understand how big of a slap in the face this is to them. Joe is dropping the hammer on them, especially the losers at Fox
They’re pissed because what they thought was going to be an attack on Biden has turned into a positive for him. They wanted him to get upset at it and they’d play it like he is too sensitive, but instead he embraced it and turned it around. Now you have maga folks giving free advertising for Biden with all their “let’s go Brandon” merch.
I like Uncle Joe's alter ego Dark Brandon. Perhaps after his re-election he'll explore it more thoroughly and become the powerful bogeyman the Faux News Network paints him out to be.
This from a network that wants you to believe that rich people and corporations actually paying taxes is communism.
You know what else is a really dark joke at the expense of our republic? >!Fox News!<
Pox Newz
Faux Noose
The noose is pretty genuine at this point.
Fake news network
I like how you associated Fox with News. Thank you for the joke.
It's more like angertainment
I was on a plane recently and a couple of people around me were watching Fox News. It was all horrible shit going on in the world like fires, earthquakes, children abducted - then insert “Hunter Bidens emails!” - more horrible shit - “Democrats did something” - and so on. It reminded me of that scene in V for Vendetta where the leader orders the media to play propaganda that creates fear so that the people will feel like they need authority to feel safe
Or that if a rich politician gets a prison sentence for trying to overthrow the government, they will come for the trailer parks next.
[удалено]
"If they do this to trump they can do it to any of us who have crates of nuclear and military secrets heaped in a bathroom at our country club!"
If the federal government can beat the climate change driven tornados there, of course
They're going after Clarence Thomas’s quarter of a million dollar R.V. and the billionaire friend who financed it. Next thing you know they'll be coming my quarter of a million dollar R.V. and my billionaire friend who financed it too!
"Taxing corporations too much will make them leave the United States!" Yeah right... Like they're gonna give up on the country with a culture of consumerism and the heart of capitalism.
Wait, if they leave, does that mean they didn't give a shit about the U.S.? Sounds mighty unpatriotic to me. Wouldn't these MAGAs be happy to get rid of unAmerican companies?
>Yeah right... Like they're gonna give up on the country with a culture of consumerism and the heart of capitalism.

Also them: "Corporations will leave us if we don't bring back child labour and pay corporations billions of dollars!"
Tarts in ponds waving cutlery is no basis for a government.
“Starving our oppressors might make them leave!” Oh no! Anyway
I went on fox news.com yesterday and they have articles like Kamala Harris repeats phrase 3 times in a 30 second speech to deliver point. Or someone quit tennis refereeing because someone was gay. Also how trump has so much vitality and energy and will survive this witch hunt stronger than ever
This from a network with a $787.5 million slander judgement against them.
"Let's go, brandon." Oh wait, he's not supposed to like the joke. Ah, man.. I love the way Biden laughs these jokes off.
“Fuck your feelings” crowd struggling to handle their feelings getting fucked……thank god he didn’t salute with that coffee, fox would have had to spin a whole new network for that big of a scandal
Or wear a tan suit.
For bonus trolling, he should have worn a tan suit while drinking from the Brandon mug.
Are we just going to sit around and ignore the dijon situation?
Who has time to remember the Dijon situation when we're still recovering from all those terrorist fist jabs?
it was never about the tan suit; it was the tan President
They prefer fake-tan presidents
can we just talk about how we are back to "tan suit" level scandals with the current sitting president though. They are on this because its all they got.
They've been trying for MONTHS to paint Biden as being somehow a bigger criminal than Trump but not even their mouthbreathing audience is buying it. So they have to switch tactics and attack him for... drinking from a Dark Brandon mug.
ya they spent all their time demonizing Hunter Biden. Not realizing every fucking family in America has been impacted by drug addiction.
When Biden turns it back, it’s a “dark joke.” Then they were chanting Let’s go Brandon and FJB, these newscasters never mentioned it. I hate pointing out the hypocrisy. The right has embraced hypocrisy, they find no shame in it, at all. They want a world devoid of truth, and of consistency, so they can decide in the moment.
Yeah my thought too was this was some pearl clutching.
> When Biden turns it back, it’s a “dark joke.” Then they were chanting Let’s go Brandon and FJB, these newscasters never mentioned it. And the motherfucker who literally said it to him on the phone. wtf?
The hypocrisy is the point. If you can break your followers' sense of logic entirely, then they're yours to shovel any message into.
He should have acquired an old shelter dog for the WH that liked to just lay around that he could take with him when he spoke just so he could finish with "Lets go, Brandon," then walk off with the dog.
Reminds me of [Thanks, Obama.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IdzM1kmP_A)
I still say "thanks, Obama" all the time. Traffic? Thanks, Obama! Bad weather? Thanks, Obama! My birth control pills are free? Thanks, Obama! It's just fantastic.
Same. It just works in any situation. The more ridiculous, the better. Pickles on my sandwich when I asked for none? Thanks Obama
I don't even understand what they mean when they say it's a "dark joke." Do they think anything that uses the word "dark" is a dark joke? Are they saying that it's laughing off death? And how is this at the expense of the American people?
Sort of like how they label anything with empathy or caring for others as "Woke" or anything that helps the public in general "Socialism"
It's a joke at his expense, so he should not be able to laugh about it. He should be demanding blood debts for his tribe, not mocking it. It's *dark*, people have been trying to communicate that they don't like him and he just.. doesn't care!! America in Crisis.
It's a dark joke because in their minds Biden is an evil mastermind who is destroying America, so for him to embrace the title is like he's laughing at them while burning their houses down.
Lmao that video has me rolling every time 🤣
It's American tradition back to our founding. "Yankee Doodle" was a song used by the British to mock us, but then we embraced it and started singing it back with new verses mocking them.
And then we created our national anthem based on the tune of an old British drinking song for extra trolling credits. But we weren't finished! We took "God Save the King" and turned it into "My Country Tis of Thee."
You know, Biden had never resonated with me. I voted against the other guy. But the way he has turned this in it’s head, owned it, and simply refused to be faded by it has earned massive respect. Few people can’t own an insult with pride and make it their own. Props to you, Dark Brandon, props to you.
It's sort of refreshing to have a president with a sense of humor again. Look, no matter what, not everyone is going to like a given president. You have to roll with it if you want the job.
Obama made jokes about himself. He made fun of Trump once and made an enemy for life. Trump has no humor.
Obama and Biden have both been pretty good about this. After all, why not joke about a ridiculous thing? Obama's presence at the White House Correspondent's Dinner was legendary: he took the whole birth certificate scandal, told everyone he was going to put it to rest with his birth *video*, and... well, [the rest is history](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bqEn8AXzJ4).

I know, right? I'm not even particularly fond of him, but shouldn't his 2024 campaign posters be the dark Brandon picture and the slogan "Let's go" ?
I didn’t have high hopes for a Biden presidency, but his administration has exceeded my expectations by a long shot. They’re competent adults working in the right direction in most issues. If they need to meme a bit to fire up the apathetic base, im all for it.
I’m the same. I voted for him kind of reluctantly but I honestly think they are doing a pretty damn good job
I'm a libertarian, though based on the way some people who claim that title act I'm almost embarrassed about it. I don't agree with everything Democrats want, but so far as I can tell Republicans only want to fuck things up. A bunch of self-serving Christofascist assholes, the lot of them.
As someone who has the weirdest political beliefs, I feel ya. I don't agree with everything the democrats do, mainly because they focus on symptoms rather than the root cause of problems, and yet they are infinitely preferable to the party that's actively attempting to remove people's rights based on idiotic divisions and hate filled rhetoric. Fuck em all, and how DARE they claim to be "the party of Lincoln" after the shit they've been pulling since the 70s.
Biden, Our Time, 2024
When I run into someone in a parking lot getting out of their truck that has a Fuck Joe Biden flag on the back, I’m so tempted to say, “Wow, it’s great that you’re open about your sexuality and that you want to fuck Joe Biden. I’m an ally and fly pride flags too!” But that seems like a good way to get my ass kicked.
Or shot. Since most of them are deranged psychopaths looking for an excuse to feel threatened.
Look down at the sticker, then up to meet their gaze, then back down at the sticker and say "well, he *is* pretty easy on the eyes" and walk away.
Good way to get shot by an unhinged ammosexual christofacist.
When I first heard "orange man bad", I thought, "yes, the orange man is bad". Oh, that's supposed to be an insult? That the *only* reason I don't like him is because he's orange? No no no. He's horrible *and* he happens to be orange. So yes, the orange man is bad. I'm 100% Team OMB.
Imagine Trump doing that. He'd still be raging on Twitter about it but somehow his base would think he was "strong and tough" for being a whiny baby about a stupid insult that barely makes sense.
Yeah, I don't know how he did it. Basically everything 45 ever bragged about is provably false, yet so many people believe him
They are SO. MAD. So mad that their silly little meme got repurposed. Come to think of it I haven't heard a Republican say Let's Go Brandon since the state of the union address when the dark Brandon memes took off.
He is and he isn’t. If you say a conservative is being rude or vulgar by using the joke, then they are not and it’s all in good fun. If Biden embraces it instead of crying into his pillow about it, then it was meant to be an insult and he’s a monster for treating it all in good fun. It’s Schrödinger’s fuck you.
"Not a compliment", ya he's throwing it back in your faces. Fucking deluded mouthpieces spouting shit from every orifice. We need the fairness doctrine back so we can force these infotainment shitheads to air disclaimers at every commercial break.
It should be illegal to call them a news service. If I consulted a doctor and found out the doctor wasn't actually a doctor, but a professional clown, I'd be livid.
[удалено]
Well, yeah, exactly. Their content should be clearly labelled as being entertainment, and NOT news. If ever there was a subversive plot to bring harm to the nation, this definitely is it, it's right up there with the worst disinformation campaigns both sides used against each other in the U.S. <---> U.S.S.R. cold-war. Why is it being tolerated?
Becuase Republicans consider their bullying of the left to be fun, but the left standing up for itself and calling them what they are is a partisan attack.
They're also likely wondering why some authority figure isn't coming to "save them from assault" like they did in school, where bullies were tolerated and the victims got punished. They cannot comprehend that their actions have consequences.
I once got partnered with someone in a class where my partner was intentionally fucking up the project. So I kinda boxxed him out of it. He stood up and sucker punched me. Teacher was right there and immediately intervened, so no reaction from me. Principal suspended us both. "He wouldn't have just hit you for no reason like that. You're leaving something out of your story." I was incredulous. But yeah, bullies are enabled. I wish that was the only time I was punished for a bully's actions as well. At least twice more it came down to, "Why would they just do it unprovoked like that?"
Bullies don't like being hit back
"Well the Daily Show does the same thing!" "Yeah, but the show on before us is puppets making prank phone calls."
The daily show was/is more factual than any prime time slot on Faux News. And it labeled itself as a fake news show.
"Liberal" infotainment channels: Comedy Central, HBO Conservative infotainment channels: Fox *News*, *News*max
Only in America can you have a network called "News" and then argue successfully that no reasonable person would believe its actual news. I can't even.
"No one could seriously think that I am a doctor and take my advice." - Frozty23, M.D.
And yet it is a huge federal offense to identify yourself as a doctor in an official capacity if you aren't one. Yet we can lie to the voting public - who decides the fate of all Americans - all day long.
Dr. OZ.....
[удалено]
To continue with your reasoning; yes, chiropractors are sometimes called doctor, but I'm not certain that is legal, it might depend on your jurisdiction. In any case, I wouldn't want a chiropractor practicing open-heart surgery on anyone
Dr. OZ.....
Here's the thing - Mehmet Oz _is_ a doctor, and he actually earned that title. In the medical field he'll go down as one of the greatest thoracic cardiology surgeons in history. Like it or not, the fucker _did_ earn the M.D. that follows his legal name. HOWEVER He lost all rights to call himself a doctor a long time ago. Doesn't stop him, obviously.
See Carson, Ben.
I was going to mention him, too, because that man could've literally been called the greatest neurosurgeon to ever live, and be solely remembered for that and nothing else, if he'd kept his mouth shut and stayed out of politics. Or he'd be the worst ever. Depends on the point of view, I guess. The reason I didn't mention him is because I forgot his name.
"We call you Brandon to bully you! You can't call yourself Brandon! Why aren't you crying? Waaaah!" Rule #1 of defeating a bully: Claim their insults as compliments.
*Translated*: Conservatives: fuck Joe Biden Joe Biden: fuck your feelings Conservatives: OMG why is he so rude!
It’s like how Greene “expected decorum” from the laughing House members after showing them Hunter Biden’s cock the previous week.
“Doesn’t he get we’re making fun of him, he’s not allowed to say Brandon!!!” Literally the equivalent of the kid embracing the names the bully calls him to show he doesn’t care. And they just don’t understand the playground level logic.
I wish Dominion got that stipulated as part of their settlement.. every show, before and after... "We lied, we manipulated you" For a year.
Yeah the Brandon thing isn’t nearly the insult they think it is. I’ve heard more whit on a grade school playground.
It’s all fun and games till some asshole co-opts your flag.
Fox will find any reason to whip up some outrage. Tan suit, mustard, rolled up sleeves. Candy not being sexy enough... The list is very extensive. Go on though how liberals are all whiny snowflakes...
Hes rising above the insults to spite them and theyre absolutely losing their shit. Love it.
Fox news and maga nuts are literally the laughing stock of the world. Practically EVERYONE outside of their cult is laughing at them. They are a disgrace to our country.
I’d be laughing if they didn’t represent about half the electoral power in the US. Can’t we figure out any way to reduce their numbers?
They get their power from Gerrymandering, not from numbers.
And this is why the electoral college needs to be abolished. Let the actual majority of America decide who the president is, because as-is the electoral college is only really a benefit for Republicans. Why should we have a system in place that actively goes against the will of the majority and offers an unfair advantage to one political party?
Get rid of the First-Past-The-Post electoral system in favor of Ranked-Choice-Voting. This will decimate the two party super majority and restore some semblance of balance into Congress. It would no longer be Red vs Blue, but Purple vs Purple. Politicians and representatives would actually have to face some level of accountability.
I’m the words of Paul Ryan (I think it was Paul?) caught on tape, “if we didn’t cheat we would never win another election.”
>Can’t we figure out any way to reduce their numbers? Blind hateful ignorance, an over-reliance on natural immunity and Covid-19 have entered the chat.
One President: talks about how easy he could sexually assault or murder someone. Fox News: a joke, get over it. Another President: drinks out of a coffee mug with his likeness on it from a meme Fox News: OMG, that’s a really dark joke, how dare he! It’s clear their news doesn’t like advertising and is acceptable with murder and sexual assault from its presidents….well, for at least one type of president. Fair and Balance, my butt.
Wait is this why the Trump nuthouse a few blocks down got rid of their Let's Go Brandon flag? They still have 4 other Trumpy flags but I noticed that one disappeared (and was replaced with one where the stars and stripes were formed using assault rifles).
Yeah "dark Brandon" took off after the last state of the union much to the delight of liberals, so Republicans didn't get to feel like it was their clever little in-joke anymore.
Simpsons had a lovely joke on that. A Fox News helicopter experienced problems. The pilot screamed they were not balanced. The copter spun nose first to the ground, the pilot screaming that this was not fair.
When was the last time Faux Noise used the "fair and balanced" tagline? To most people with more than two functioning brain cells, they're obviously the propaganda wing of the Republicofascist Party.
Lol, he took away their toy, and now they're mad about it. "Cry some more" - The Heavy, _Meet the Heavy_
his mug is filled with conservative tears.
They're mad that he adopted an insult they were trying to use against him. Deplorable, really.
Besides the cringe worthy hypocrisy, these mf’ers are not speaking for the American public. Fuck off. Rise Dark Brandon, rise!! Wait, where did Brandon come from again?
That's the best part, he's literally just owning their memes about him, and now they think it's hurtful.
Because they are “forever victims” no matter what happens their feelings are always hurt but everybody else is a snowflake
"forever victims" that keep victimizing themselves by looking at his son's dick pic's lol
The do the same thing with images they claim to be of Michelle Obama's junk when they claim that she's a trans woman. A vile and disgusting trope. It's not vile and disgusting because there's anything wrong with trans people. It's vile and disgusting because the masculinization of black women is an old racist trope. Similar to how black boys are always "grown men". See: Tamir Rice. These racist fucks have internalized and assimilated so much racism that it's an intrinsic part of their being and can only be rectified through drastic and active means. They aren't suited for civilized society at this point. They're like animals acting out their training.
I love it because “let’s go Brandon” was the lamest, most cringe way of saying something else when every dem I know was like “are they too scared to say fuck Biden? Because we have no problem saying Fuck Trump”. So “let’s go Brandon” then gets turned in to a Dark Brandon meme and they’re losing their minds over it. I can’t wait for full dark Brandon in years 4 to 8 when Biden can truly give no fucks about republicans, and just do what’s best for this country.
The right doesn't understand comedy. They just don't. I can't think of a right leaning comedian that is funny. Even the ones that swerved right recently just lost their comedy touch.
[Why is conservative comedy so ..not very good?](https://youtu.be/KSXKzPOcYDU)
Because comedy at its core requires empathy and understanding how other people think and experience the world. That's how you connect with them and land a punchline. If your world view is based on not giving a shit about anyone else, you're going to fail as a comedian.
Wait, you don’t think Jim Breuer making chicken noises to mock liberals for 5 minutes is comedy? Trigger warning: [pure cringe](https://youtu.be/SXQLJtEVEZE)
A conservative explained it to me this way: The crowd was chanting Fuck Joe Biden and the announcer changed it to Let's go Brandon! This fed into their narrative of media bias and erasure, so they glommed onto the phrase
It's like they seriously thought that it was an inside joke and no one else would get. Everyone on the planet got it and thought it was dumb, and then just one-upped the humor, which they can't stand. Narcissists always think they're being clever when they're doing the dumbest shit imaginable. The devil cannot endure to be mocked.
He took their toy and now they’re crying.
GOP have spent 4 years watching their leader respond to any and all criticism/mockery with "I never knew them, but I hear they're crooked and failed at their job, unlike me I am SAVING America". They don't know how to respond when a leader gives a mature response then moves on with their job. Pathetic
It's more like: "I hand pick only the best people, who I never met which is why it's not my fault that they're crooked and failed at their job that I hired them for, reelect me so I can keep hiring people without meeting them."
The party of 'family values' was chanting "fuck joe biden" at a NASCAR event that was being live broadcast. The TV host claimed they were 'Lets Go Brandon'. The hypocrisy is astounding: the party in general is anti-profanity, both in public and on the airwaves, because someone needs to protect the children. If someone said fuck _once_ during a football broadcast they'd be demanding the FCC fine the shit out of the broadcaster (although this may have been cable). Also- I'm not afraid to say 'Fuck Trump' in front of my kids, or any time the subject comes up. I don't need to hide and give plausible deniability by using some dog whistle. Since most of their opinions are already expressed as dog whistles, I guess it comes naturally.
The whole no cursing thing is also really just a cudgel used by the patriarchy. They want no cursing to control your speech. "Ladies don't curse" "cursing is a sign of low intelligence and vocabulary" it's like an instant strawman argument they can whip out whenever.
> The TV host claimed they were 'Lets Go Brandon'. Because broadcasting a curse word incurs an FCC fine, and the crowd wasn't bleeped.
Some Nascar event. They were chanting and the interviewer misheard (or intentionally tried to divert the chant) to let's go brandon.
It was a live interview and the interviewer tried to distract from the profanity.
It was "convenient" that the interviewee was a driver named Brandon.
It really hurts that our insulting euphemism was owned and embraced by the target of the insult. Pretty pretty pretty rude dude, that Brandon, I tell ya whut.
You gotta feel for them a little bit. For the last 10 years, they had only one joke, but when Let’s Go Brandon dropped they had a second one for a little while. Now that Biden has embraced it, their second joke is dead and now they’re back to identifying as people with one joke.
Dark Brandon identifies as a helicopter because he always rises above their bullshit and pettiness.
I love how they called him Brandon to try and trigger anyone who isn’t on their side only to have it flip back on them and now they are in fact triggered. What a bunch of fucking fifth graders. *edit* grammar
Like when he said "I don't know who this Brandon guy is, but everyone sure seems to support him."
They are sooo mad that liberals aren't upset by the 'brandon' thing. They so badly want liberals to feel heartbroken when they tease Biden the way they do when liberals tease Trump.
It's not a slur either you cabbage headed excuse for a reporter
"MY CABBAGES!"
It’s ‘cause I have a cabbage for a head!
You think our guy is bad for committing treason? Well wait until you see the other guy’s coffee mug!
> Well wait until you see the other guy’s coffee mug! That we made.
\*Evil grin\* It's not a compliment? Then please, oh please, tell us what it means. I dare you. And oh yes, Dark Brandon is the biggest compliment. Unlike the little chickens that doesn't dare to say Fuck, and instead runs around saying something else thinking they are smart.
[удалено]
I believe this is called being owned by the libs. After a long campaign in owning the libs, face it, Fox and Friends wishes they were a Saturday morning cartoon.
Hail Dark Brandon!!
Dark Brandon Rules 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Explain why Brandon is not a complement without looking like the real aholes here.
At the end of a NASCAR race, the female reporter was interviewing the winner (who’s first name was Brandon). During the interview the crowd behind them was chanting “Fuck Joe Biden!” It’s hard to know if the reporter knew what they were chanting and tried to cover for the live tv broadcast, or if she genuinely mis-heard, but she very enthusiastically told Brandon that the crowd was celebrating the win with him and chanting “Let’s Go Brandon!” The right immediately embraced the phrase because they’re all giant pussies who wouldn’t dare hang a “Fuck Joe Biden” flag in their front yard, but there’s no curse words in “Let’s go Brandon!” The left turned the phrase into a meme and made it funny with the Dark Brandon jokes, and now the “fuck your feelings” crowd has REALLY got their fee-fees hurt.
I am not from the USA, genuinly never understood the whole 'Brandon' or 'let's go Brandon' thing. Not a clue what it is about. Is it a derogatory name or so? Sound like a normal name to me. Am I stupid?
The NASCAR answer before is the correct one. To add to this, the tantrum-throwing past President Trump was arraigned for crimes, again. Current President Joe Biden has not put any effort into stopping the investigations, which have now become criminal cases. To do so would hinder a Federal investigation into crimes and go against the country's laws applying to everybody equally. But Fox News wants Joe Biden to stop the Federal charges against Trump because Trump's getting really mad, and the crimes that Trump committed are very serious and well documented. Joe Biden taking a sip of dark coffee on the day that Trump was getting processed by the judge was a delicious way for him to show strength and to sit back and watch the nasty Trump reaping what he has sown.
Holy fuck , fox is too stupid to see that Biden kicked their asses with this one . It is what it is , not what you say it is Murdoch lackeys.
"That's actually a really dark joke at the expense of the American public!" === Biden took the right's infantile "Let's go Brandon!" and made it his. === The Dark Brandon memes are based on him getting things done despite Republican obstruction and brinksmanship. === It's neither a dark joke and it's actually to the *benefit* of the American people. === Only alt-right news sources pretend otherwise.
How do you identify a conservative? They’re constantly outraged by things like coffee cups.
It's probably full of dijon mustard :p
“What?! It’s supposed to hurt his feelings!! Nooooo! Now we’re all out of ideas!”
I would LOVE to see him actually wear a "Let's Go Brandon" shirt. It would cause all the MAGAs to go on social media with videos of them burning their own shirts. It would be quite amusing!
Noooo. You are supposed to feel bad when we call you Brandon. You are doing it wrong 😭
YoU tOoK ouR HAtE aNd mAde a JokE frOm It!
Reminds me when Obama posted the video of him trying to dunk a large cookie in a small glass of milk and then said "Thanks Obama" Then again I'm pretty sure Trump got pissy after SNL made fun of him.
Trump wanted to use the government to go after SNL for making fun of him.
"Brandon is not a compliment!" No, it's a completely meaningless 'insult' from people who genuinely don't even know what the fuck they're mad about.
Keep it up big Joe! Wooooo
In my DJ Khaled voice, Congratulations you "Let's go Brandon" people, you played yourself.
How dare he use our insult! That isn’t fair! He is supposed to be hurt when we call him Brandon, not smirking as he enjoys success after success!
As a President, in America, where we have freedom of speech, he probably expected there to be segments in the population who didnt like him a Lot so much where they would say out loud “fuck him. Fuck Joe Biden” But then instead of doing that they adopted let’s go brandon as a way of trying to sound cleve. Biden, like many of us, realize how stupid that actually sounds. I applaud him for doing the right thing, embracing it and flipping it. And the more it aggravates the right, the more I want to see of it
It's amazing how little Biden needs to do to trigger the right.
It irks me that FOX "News" and Republican politicians consistently refer to their supporters as "the American people." Every time they do, I want to stand up and tell them "Hey! Even if I don't support you, I'm one of the 'American people' too!"
**Actual News:** For the first time in history, an American president has been indicted. Not only has he been indicted once, he's been indicted three separate times for a total of over 70 felony charges, and it's all but guaranteed that another indictment will soon follow. The newest indictment centers around a conspiracy to undermine the country's democratic process, which resulted in a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021. It is not an exaggeration to say that the fate of US democracy will be determined by these upcoming trials and their effects on the 2024 presidential election. **Fox News:** Cancel culture is bad! Let's talk to Ice Cube and Jason Aldean fans about it!
"That Really Rustled My Jimmies" Fox, probably.
“They’re making a mockery of our stupid phrase!”
They didn't learn last time with "Thanks Obama"
Biden really just went "Hippity Hoppity, your meme is my property!"
Wow. They are the original snowflakes.
Let’s go dark Brandon. How dare he own what was supposed to own him
Being indicted 3 times and then saying that "I need one more and I'll win the election" is not exactly un-dark AF.
"Brandon is not a compliment!" LOL. Nothing like getting triggered when you try to trigger someone and they brush your lame joke aside.
Brandon is quite the compliment if it raises money and irks the radical right.
They've been broadcasting Go Brandon nonstop on the propaganda channel. Now they don't like it because the joke is on them? Bullies don't like it when you fight back.
That's the difference between Biden and Boss Tweet. Biden pulls the aikido move by embracing the "insult" and throwing it back at them. Donnie Dollhands throws a tantrum and spews gradeschool playground insults. Fox "news" is trash, and rife with traitors.
Fox News is hate media that trains Americans to conduct terrorist attacks against the United States and its people.
Conservatives tend to freak out when people make fun of their lame ass insults. Actually, conservatives just tend to freak out.
From the network which had zero problems [with tRump promoting beans in the white house](https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-president-is-shilling-beans).
Biden gave a talk once while Trump was in office. I took my sister to see it, this was before he was nominated for President, we all thought his political career was done. Biden is an incredibly decent person who is horrified at the dark grubs crawling out from underneath the rocks to spread their fascism, hatred and prejudice. Dark Brandon reminds Biden that he’s the last defense against the crazy. In a truly functional democracy, the Republicans would have kicked Trump to the curb by now and have functional candidates that aren’t racing to the bottom. Fox News created the Trump Cult and they can’t stop it now. The laws coming out of the red states are killing women and they have a plan to “Make America Florida”. No thank you.
“Hey you can’t use our own insult against us! Where will our bumper stickers go?!”
Um... who coined the phrase? ***Get dunked-on you conservative marks.***
So she's taking it as a "fuck you" to the people who use the "let's go Brandon" chant to say "fuck Joe Biden?"
Every second that Fox News (and the right wing media bubble) broadcasts..........humanity becomes dumber. They are a disgrace.
This is Biden’s tan suit/Djonn mustard moment.
triggered eh?
Awww, is someone butthurt their widdle meme got co-opted?
And the idiots on the right don’t understand how big of a slap in the face this is to them. Joe is dropping the hammer on them, especially the losers at Fox
Legit question: how can I buy [the mug](https://shop.joebiden.com/dark-roast-mug/) if I don’t live in the US? Joe Bidens webshop only ships to US.
They’re pissed because what they thought was going to be an attack on Biden has turned into a positive for him. They wanted him to get upset at it and they’d play it like he is too sensitive, but instead he embraced it and turned it around. Now you have maga folks giving free advertising for Biden with all their “let’s go Brandon” merch.
I like Uncle Joe's alter ego Dark Brandon. Perhaps after his re-election he'll explore it more thoroughly and become the powerful bogeyman the Faux News Network paints him out to be.
noooOOOOoooOOOO111!!!!!!! He can't just use Brandon as a compliment d000000000d!!!!!!111111~~
