Jared Schmeck, 35, a former police officer who works for an electric company, called the NORAD line and had a brief conversation with Biden on Christmas Eve.
After a brief chat with the president where they talked about what his children wanted for Christmas, Schmeck used a slogan that has become popular among supporters of former President Trump as a veiled insult toward Biden.
Schmeck said he meant no disrespect to the president but that he thought he could be doing a better job.
āAt the end of the day, I have nothing against Mr. Biden, but I am frustrated because I think he can be doing a better job,ā he said to The Oregonian/Oregon Live.
āI understand there is a vulgar meaning to āLets go Brandon,ā but Iām not that simple minded, no matter how I feel about him,ā the father told the news outlet on Christmas morning. āHe seems likes heās a cordial guy. Thereās no animosity or anything like that. It was merely just an innocent jest to also express my God-given right to express my frustrations in a joking mannerā¦I love him just like I love any other brother or sister.ā
Schmeck told the news outlet he was not a āTrumperā calling himself a āfree-thinking American and follower of Jesus Christ.ā
I for one am shocked that someone who loves a chickenshit way of saying āfuck Joe Bidenā without actually saying āfuck Joe Bidenā would also be a chickenshit about their political beliefs.
Iād love to hear his thoughts on how Biden ācan be doing a better job.ā
Iām certain his primary frustrations are with Bidenās border policies and lack of progress on BBB and the fact that he still hasnāt forgiven the ten Gās in student loan debt that he promised during his campaign or kicked Louis De Joy to the curb.
The recipient of that donation is a PAC setup for the National Electrical Contractors Association, which seems less relevant given the family business. Though I canāt figure out where PAC money is directed, I wouldnāt be surprised if it leans heavily right/libertarian/small-business owner/pulled-myself-up-by-my-bootstraps.
Runs a āChristian businessā in the construction trades. That is a dead give away to me. Almost always been the worst people i have had to do deal with.
Anyone who loudly claims their own religiousity in business is a scumbag. I wonāt do business with trucking companies with religious names in the same way I wonāt do business with people from Glendale, CA (thereās a major Armenian gang that targets my industry almost exclusively based out of there lol). Iām honestly conflicted about who would give me worse service, the scumbag āchristianā or organized criminals.
Nope logisticsā¦ but I bet they do a lot of insurance fraud too. Insurance fraud and cargo theft are more than tangentially related. Itās way easier to steal valuable freight when the freight isnāt actually all that valuable and the shipper is in on it.
God Americans are weird. I canāt think of a white Christian in Australia that isnāt an immigrant. Other than our prime minister who is in some sort of snake worship, speaking in tongues cult
