(7,309 posts)Nope. They don't want Biden or Democrats because we make them pay their fair share and do business responsibly.

(12,713 posts)They had some kind of weird hybrid system at my nail salon, where it was the local DC Fox News showing national. Anyway, Smelvis gets up on stage, and the sound and video got fuzzy. Then the anchor person apologized for the poor quality of the Livestream, and they cut back to the Munich Security Conference discussions.

(20,591 posts)but I clearly hear, " Let's Go Biden" on the one I watched.

(597 posts)Reading the replies to some of these tweets, I don't think I'm the only one hearing that. But it's hard to say because the quality isn't great.

(10,333 posts)You don't care what MAGAts do, but you then point people to your signature where you speak out against propaganda?
Tell me, WarGamer: if not for MAGAts and their ilk, who is responsible for more outright lies, misinformation/disinformation, and propaganda in our country, hmm?

(5,545 posts)It seemed like one or two people yelling really loud masked the rest. But here is a youtube video that clearly shows Trump being booed, along with some of the USA chants at times.

(11,479 posts)That didn't seem like a crowd that was shy of saying the word fuck.
And he certainly didn't act like it was a positive response for him.
All Mixed Up
(597 posts)But to me it sounds like they're saying the f-word (I didn't spell it out because I don't know what the rules are about swearing here).
ornotna
(11,479 posts)And I damn sure don't hear the word fuck.

(597 posts)One has already posted as much in this thread that they heard it the way I did and a lot of debate on twitter about it too.
I don't think it's as cut-and-dried as people are assuming. But like I said, I could be wrong.

(10,299 posts)I don't think the kind of people who go to sneaker con appreciate their event being hijacked by a politician. Especially not a politician bent on using them.

(4,503 posts)At least it probably wasn't billed as a Trump function. I think Trump just tried to save money by having someone else rent the convention hall. All he probably requested was time to get up and talk about his beautiful gold sneakers. The organizers of the event should have been better prepared with trump. He's known for always going off track and doing whatever he wants. He didn't have to pay the audience, they came voluntarily on their own looking for sneakers.
Trump is the biggest cheapskate around and with all his financial problems my thoughts make total sense.
I hope the organizers of that Sneaker Convention sue his ass off for disrupting everything and ruining the good time the people expected. The people probably has to pay an admission fee. (Class action lawsuit?)

(597 posts)Like, if I think they're saying "Let's Go Biden" I can absolutely hear it.
But then someone on twitter said it was, "Fck Joe Biden" and I heard that too (as I posted up thread). Literally am not sure what they're saying but I'll go with, 'Let's Go Biden' because it seems to be pissing a lot of people off lmao
Demobrat
(10,299 posts)The hard G in go and the soft J in Joe. I definitely hear the hard G.
All Mixed Up
(597 posts)But I definitely hear it differently.
Like I said, it's funny to think it's "Let's Go Biden" because it enrages a lot of people on the right. But if I am going to remove myself from what I'd love for it to be and try to look at it rationally: 'F Joe Biden' makes more sense. Why? Because that's been their rallying cry now since 2021. That's where the whole 'Let's Go Brandon' thing started: a woman interviewing a racer (Brandon was his name) thought the crowd was chanting "Let's Go Brandon" when they were chanting "F Joe Biden". It just was misheard as 'Let's Go Brandon ... which kinda fits into how people might be mishearing this as 'Let's Go Biden'.
My take? I think the boos started first and to counter the boos, the chanting started about Biden.
I should also point out that the original video comes from a Trump supporter. The LGB is their 'slang' or whatever for 'F Joe Biden' because they're all so mature.
Demobrat
(10,299 posts)or Lets go Brandon?
Anyway I guess I can see how the booing would be met by some sort of reply from the Trump supporters.
Sad that a happy, non-political event like that had to be hijacked.
All Mixed Up
(597 posts)It was misheard as 'Let's Go Brandon' and they've taken up LGB as code for F Joe Biden but they still chant it, specifically at sporting events (like football games).
I agree, tho, that the fact it turned into politics is a shame. It's happened a lot. Including at those sporting events I've mentioned. It just seems tasteless and obsessive. Hell, as much as I hate Trump, I don't think I'd randomly start chanting, "F Donald Trump" at a non-political event that had nothing to do with the man.

(4,715 posts)It would have been helpful to be able to read lips.
I initially was sure it was "let's go Biden" but I went back after reading this thread to listen again, and yes, it could be either one.

(3,396 posts)There were some that booed him, there were some that cheered him. And some that chanted fuck joe biden. That is clearly what was said in the video above that I heard.

People went to this convention just to see him. Some of the quotes are sickening.
