As you perhaps meant to insinuate, it's not clear that the pilot said "Let's go, Brandon" rather than "Let's go, Braves". The latter would have been more likely than the former to elicit gasps from passengers on a flight leaving Houston. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/lets-go-braves/

If the pilot really uttered the "LGB phrase" (time to get the euphemisms going), he should be rebuked for pestering his captive audience with his political opinions. After the past four-plus years, though, liberals are in a poor position to raise that objection.

I don't know or care. None of it is worth this lunacy.

"At first, I thought the whole “Let’s go, Brandon” thing was juvenile but funny. Which is my kind of humor, the first few hundred times I heard it. But now that it’s becoming a cultural flashpoint and I’m expected to take a stand, I’m firmly on Team Free Speech against Team Fascism."

THIS is what I love about your stuff - you proudly stand by what you believe & it's FUNNY!!

I am in total agreement with this sentiment quoted above. Thanks for continuing to point out the zaniness of the Left.

We should just keep coming up with more coded phrases that basically say "Fuck Joe Biden" and have the libs go crazy with trying to cancel or fire people for saying it. My first attempt is "Duck Grows Bacon"

I just subscribed. I mean, the content of the newsletter is great and all, but the hilarious variety of ways you shame us to subscribe is the cherry on top. Mission accomplished. Great merch idea - t-shirt where the front would be "Let's Go Brandon", and the back "Juvenile but funny".

Funny - the two things that Let's Go Brandon does NOT refer to is Trump and terrorism, but the die-hard Democrat defenders can't keep from dragging those into the conversation.

I wore my new Let’s Go Brandon sweatshirt this morning. It’s FUNNY, and it irritates people who deserve to be irritated. Who doesn’t love a good turn of phrase? (Ok besides leftists…)

A former student of mine, a mature man with his head generally screwed on properly, spent 30 minutes this morning in a back-and-forth with me about how meaningless the phrase is. Finally, exasperated, he informed me that *NO ONE WAS TRIGGERED* by the phrase. I seriously almost lmfao.
