Cool joke Jared...

Then maybe don't say fuck you to the President on Christmas? Huh? Who? No, not you, this Jared Schmeck guy, who on a call with Joe Biden, signed off with "Merry Christmas and Let's go Brandon!" Which, I mean, c'mon.

The low road would be to make fun
of how Republicans enjoy watching cars
drive in circles, but I'm better than that.*

*(no I'm not)

So if you've not heard, "Let's go Brandon" is rightwing shitheel code for Fuck Joe Biden and it's origins are pretty Redstate. It comes from a NASCAR race in Alabama in which the crowd, still butt hurt that Americans chose Biden over sexual assault enthusiast Donald Trump, was chanting Fuck Joe Biden. And NBC News reporter thought they were saying Let's go Brandon, in support of racer Brandon Brown, and now the phrase has become a shibboleth for MAGA goons. Incidentally, even Brown, himself a Republican, has asked them to stop, you know, because it's dumb.

What's wrong with us? As a culture,
I mean. No really, I'm asking.

Anyway, Schmeck, who along with his kids was participating in a live stream Santa Tracker event hosted by the President and Dr. Biden and--What's that? Oh, you know, it's one of those things where everyone pretends that not only is Santa real, but being tracked by NORAD. In case he goes rogue or something. Doesn't matter. It was an otherwise pleasant conversation in which they all propped up the lie that a magical man flies around the world delivering toys to some kids, while passing over the poor kids, until Schmeck's funny, funny joke. 

Above: Jared Schmeck saying "fuck you"
to the President. On Christmas. In front of
his kids. But, you know, as a joke. Ha ha.

I say "funny, funny" because after the fact when everyone was like "What the hell? On Christmas?", Schmeck told The Oregonian, that it was meant as a joke and although he has nothing against the President, he thinks he can do a better job. 

"I meant no disrespect to him" 

-Jared Schmeck, on his totally respectful

"fuck you" to the President

So instead of his kids throwing up and looking back fondly on that time they talked to the President, it's going to be a story about that time their dumbass dad insulted him and then clumsily tried to pass it off as a joke when he encountered blowback. Cool move Jared. Also, hey, did you notice that he's wearing a Zelda shirt? It has nothing to do with anything, I just thought I'd mention it. 

You sir, disgrace the Royal House of Hyrule with your base insults. For shame.

"Whoa, whoa, leave me out of this."

-God

Anyway, next he tried making it about freedom of speech saying:

"And now I am being attacked for utilizing my freedom of speech...It was just an innocent jest to express my God-given right to express my frustrations in a joking manner."

-Schmeck, backpedaling

But everyone getting the vaccine is the
only way to end the pandemic and alleviate
the economic probl-oh, nevermind...

Uh-huh. Sure. And that's super, he's got issues with Joe Biden. According to The Oregonian, he doesn't like vaccine mandates, inflation, or supply chain issues and--he knows no one does, right? Well, I mean, vaccine mandates are smart, but basically his issue with Biden is that there's a pandemic and it sucks. I'm going to go ahead and suggest that people not liking what he has to say isn't the same thing as having his right to say it attacked. Because it isn't. Also, he didn't say "Mr. Presdient, I disagree with your policy on--blah blah..." he said: "Merry Christmas and fuck you." Class act.

I guess what I'm getting at is that contrary to Jared Schmeck's complaints, no one is saying he can't say "Let's go Brandon" to the President, we're just saying that doing so, on Christmas, in front of his own kids at the end of a friendly conversation is a dick move.
