I fail to see how this isnt an implied death threat against Biden (MAGAt Bo Hines, running for NC-7)

Lol @ those Crocs!!

only the best people are backing him

1. It is. Too bad authorities have thought they needed MORE.

[Hoyt]

2. Sorta like Mueller said of those at trump tower meeting,

“the attendees were too stupid to possess requisite intent for colluding/cooperating with Ruskies,” or something to that effect.

Those white wing, gun-humping rubes are likely inbred and too stupid . . . . . . .

[SYFROYH]

3. Stupid t-shirts are no threat.

Or any of their other lifestyle accessories.

[Celerity]

6. the combined effect of the gun and then the Fuck Joe Biden shirt is plainly obvious

IF a politician had done that here (posed with a gun and 'Fuck Magdalena Andersson' (our new PM) shirt) all hell would break loose. They would be drummed out of the Riksdag (our parliament) instantly, and SÄPO (Säkerhetspolisen, our state security police) would be on them like a fly on shit.

The US is fucked up to the point that this is so normalised and accepted.

[Tumbulu]

16. We are and time is wasted spent trying to explain

this to a huge group of people on DU who are stuck in some weird interpretation of the first amendment.

But it is really that they dismiss all these people as inconsequential.

And that is the mistake that has allowed this violence in speech to be normalized and celebrated by certain segments of the society.

[SYFROYH]

31. I think the image is more about bait for our side.

And maybe implied support for gun rights.

Posing with rifles has become du jour with conservatives.

[niyad]

11. You do not see that gun as an implied threat?

[SYFROYH]

30. No. Not a threat.

[niyad]

34. Wow. . .just.. .wow.

[rockfordfile]

45. I do consider them a threat to our democracy.

[ZonkerHarris]

4. Those Crocs are a threat to good fashion.

[vercetti2021]

5. Yep this is what happens when your dick is small

Got to compensate somewhere

7. Would he mind 'Foxtrot (wife's initials)'?

Would he mind 'Foxtrot (wife's initials)'?

or daughter's initials?

[SCantiGOP]

9. I'm not willing to give up the 1st Amendment

To stop idiotic pictures like this.

[Sogo]

10. Who are these people?

I'm in a state halfway across the continent. Never heard of them; and never would have if not for your post.

I fail to understand why you would want to give them exposure beyond their small, local world.

[niyad]

13. In case you missed it, that idiot is apparently running for congress.

[Celerity]

14. Bo Hines, who is the chief MAGAt challenger running for NC-7 (US House), he is challenging

an incumbent who the more radical Trumper MAGAts call a RINO, David Rouzer.

I'm in a state halfway across the continent. Never heard of them; and never would have if not for your post.

And?

Your personal, individual knowledge set and/or lack of following US House races is not germane to decision-making on posts for me.

17. Wow, I guess your Christmas spirit is all done, huh?

18. I was not the one who initiated the sniping at all.

19. what does foxtrot juliet bravo mean? nt

[Celerity]

20. NATO phonetic alphabet for FJB, short for Fuck Joe Biden

[orleans]

22. yeah, i don't get it and why those shirts threaten biden

[Celerity]

23. The gun/overt violence associated w/ an assault weapon combined w/ the specifically anti Biden shirt

[orleans]

24. you mean the Foxtrot Juliet Bravo (FJB?)

all a matter of perception/interpretation

i got your point but
i looked at them the first time and couldn't figure out what the hell you were talking about

a matter of opinion/perception since they don't say "fuck joe biden"

[Celerity]

25. Well, Let's Go Brandon doesn't specifically say Fuck Joe Biden either, but we all know what it means

And the little fucker put the #FJB hashtag in his shit tweet for emphasis.

Idioms are often just as (or more so at times) powerful as blunt linguistic delineation.

[rockfordfile]

44. It's clear the republican is a un-American pos.

[niyad]

35. It is the US military alphabet as well.

[Celerity]

38. Yes, but NATO designed it in 1956, it is to avoid confusion for non native English speakers

The US Military adopted it.

36. It is the US military alphabet code. Anybody who has had any association with

the military no doubt got it at once.

And if one writes whiskey tango foxtrot (also the title of a recent novel), many would immediately understand WTF.

[Bongo Prophet]

37. It means they can't spell "Juliett"

Such cleverness they think they have. "Sad."

[niyad]

39. Juliet

[Celerity]

41. There may be a reason behind that (and it is typical American standalone shitbaggery)

NATO developed the now almost universally used phonetic alphabet in 1956 from various other systems, especially the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

Most all international orgs use the NATO system, and spell A and J as Alfa and Juliett. The purpose of the whole thing is avoid confusion for non English speakers and extensive trials found that those two spellings worked best in doing that.

But, one org did not. The American National Standards Institute, who still insist on Alpha and Juliet as the spellings. Many asshole RW Americans use the ANSI spellings and call the almost universal NATO spellings all sorts of xenophobic names.

I know this from my real life experiences with people of many nations that I deal with in the security and military arenas, at academic, business, and recreational levels.

It is so typically American. The exact same snotty xenophobia and paranoia goes on with many Americans and the metric system (hey Jim Bob, that there metric system is a commie plot!!!).

[eShirl]

21. These people are just gross. All of them.

[Walleye]

26. Such cute boys with their matching shirts, mama must be so proud

So funny I forgot to laugh. Somebody should tell these people that jokes are supposed to be funny

[Achilleaze]

27. Loser repubes overworking their loser meme

No wit, no sting, no hope for these losers.

Repubes have devolved to the point where they not only piss and shit all over truth and decency themselves, but they feel they have to mock people who are honest and decent.

Sad.

28. Everyone knows the real King of Kings is the 16"/50 Cal Mark 7

That little Pea Shooter is more like the Barbie Princess of Princesses.

If you're going to worship false idols, go big.

29. More portable

[brooklynite]

32. Holding a gun combined with a juvenile insult is not an implied death threat.

[Celerity]

33. disagree nt

[Polybius]

40. Well, then you disagree with the Secret Service as well

I don't think posing with a gun saying "Let's Go Brandon" is a threat. It's a tacky, horrible insult.

[Celerity]

42. Did the Secret Service tell you that?

[Polybius]

43. Trust me. nothing will come out of this because it's clearly not a threat

Check back in a few days and you'll see.

[Celerity]

46. It's the outward projection of an implied death threat, designed for the brainwashed RW hate rubes

Designed to taken them one step (out of thousands they are bathed in) closer to being motivated (and having a rationale) to act out kinetically (far from only to do with Biden) when the times comes.

That NC conservacuck Bo is not directly saying he himself is going to gun Biden down. He wants that option/suggestion floating out and about, percolating in the RW aether for others to be affected by.
