hey, ho, let’s go

Taking two to tangle, a separate set of observations on the deliverer and recipient of the veiled insult — “Let’s go, Brandon.” The Bidens, reportedly, “did not seem aware” of “Let’s go, Brandon” as conservative anti-him comment. And that is the Oscar’s Razor to his ” sure, sure” good natured response. But on the other hand, if you are Biden, you really do not want to dwell on this good natured presidential honorific occasion, best not to waste time dwell that the guy slipped in a “f you”. A bit of a “can’t win” occasion — though, the good thing on that “can’t win” is does you do land on a “who cares?”. Sliding past with no (or little) acknowledgement is the best course, even if the overwhelming opinion is ” old man, out of touch, doesn’t even know the opposition’s popular insults toward him”.

And I can’t even say what it would mean if he did not. Twitter is not the world and all that.

For the deliverer, he becomes a “folk hero” for fifteen minutes. In this day and age it does appear enough enough to give him speech a time at cpac or a Trump rally/ Trump lead RNC convention. But you throw yourself back to the Bush administration, and that era of “Shut up and sing”. Damnedit it if someone smacking at Bush wouldn’t have just been accused of ” undermining the war effort” by much the same group making this guy their folk hero.

To be sure, when following up in a speakers’ platform after a celebrity made a pointed anti-Bush jibe, the former President was good at making that “good to have strongly held opinions” jibe. Though such would hardly be sensible in Biden’s situation.
