Who is 'your folks?' Two people do not represent Democrats. I want him to live a long life so we don't get eyeliner Vance and he goes down as the worst President and he is aware of that fact. SAD |

Never in my life has the term "86" meant for someone or something to be killed. It means you've run out of an item or something was canceled.
It's a term used in hospitality industry and the military, and it has nothing to do with violence. |
I’m sure that the agents are embarrassed enough to be trumps personal hurt feelings errand boys (or girls). |
It's not. The point is that 8646 wasn't a death threat which is why there wasn't a big fuss over it. You're responding to sarcasm. NP. |

Comey's problem has always been his impulsivity and love of the limelight. He's an attention seeker and was a controversial pick for the top FBI post because of that. He had it coming for years, honestly. Just because it's a right-wing administration who finally investigates him doesn't detract from the fact that he has been crossing lines for years. |
Remember that Comey's post was referring to a PERSON - not an item on a menu. Merriam Webster: "Among the most recent senses adopted is a logical extension of the previous ones, with the meaning of “to kill.” "I hate to see the guys always getting eighty-sixed," she said, using military jargon for killed in action. "Not fair.” — John Kifner, The New York Times, 3 Feb. 1991 |
Ah yes, all the blood thirsty elitist law school grads in politics pick up all their lingo from… service industry proles. Y’all are hilarious. |
I went to an elite law school and learned it from my waitress friends. |
| There was a whole campaign from trump supporters in 2022 with hats and t-shirts that said 86 46 and no one raised an eyebrow. |
Are you dim? I am the one saying that MAGA are fine with death threats to judges and other politicians. It’s absolutely hypocritical for them to be complaining about this. Of course, we see the same abhorrent behavior from many Democrats. |
You are wildly out of touch. Please stop embarrassing yourself. |
And that was correct. You shouldn't be investigated for saying "get rid of the President" even if you can squint and see a threat in that. "Get rid of" also means "kill" in the right context, and we should all have to freedom to say "get rid of" the current president. |
| MAGA being a bunch of drama queens again? Go figure. |
Actually you may not have thought of it as a death threat but it was and still is. The people behind it say it is a death threat. How is there still 8646 still being sold? |
Wildly out of touch with respect to a term that has its own Wikipedia page. And guess what? No killing involved. Another MAGA moron. Or in MAGA-speak, you are a r***rd. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86_(term) "In the hospitality industry, it is used to indicate that an item is no longer available, traditionally from a food or drinks establishment, or referring to a person or people who are not welcome on the premises. Its etymology is unknown, but the term seems to have been coined in the 1920s or 1930s. Military personnel might use "86" to refer to scrapping equipment (e.g., "That old radio got 86'd") or ending a plan or mission (e.g., "The op was 86'd due to bad weather"). It's not an official term in military doctrine or manuals, but it's part of the informal jargon and culture of soldiers, sailors, and airmen due to its common and frequent use, and is a concept military members are assumed to understand, although it originates in broader civilian language." |
